i seriously doubt it. bluray players/burners use a completely different laser than dvds (right? someone correct me if im wrong).

Yes.
Different lasers, tighter focus, and alot closer to the disc itslef.

Dadkins would the OP question possibly be whether he can create an HD video on a DVD disc without a Blu-ray burner that would be playable in a Blu-ray player?

I know I can burn HD video to a DVD with my Blu-ray burner but I sort of assumed, probably incorrectly, that it was burning with the standard red laser since I didn't think the media would work with the Blue laser. That would start to imply that different software could make a DVD burner burn in the HD format on a DVD, but so much really depends on the laser being used obviously. I can't think my way through this paradox.

I noted that the author of the program said he used a BD burner and did not specifically mention that this would burn BD content on a DVD using a DVD burner, that I saw. I was looking at a Wordpress site, first hit on google, so maybe the Doom site you mentioned goes into more detail. Thanks for the info.

The burning of Bluray disc should be from origingal dv material created by the user. Bluray.com does not endorse the copying of commercial blurays. If this thread goes in this direction - I will close it.

Yyyeah...I don't think that's going to be possible at all.

There is such a thing as AVCHD-DVD discs that burn and play on red laser DVD drives and also play on BD players. Basically, they are a way hobbyist can transfer HD video from their videocams to a disc without buying a blue laser burner. However, they do require more CPU and a better graphics card than a vintage P4 has. The AVCHD-DVD discs are not a likely way to pirate commercial videos, though, since a DVD+R SL can carry only about 35 minutes of HD video. The discs do not play back on standard dedicated DVD players either. But they are a heckuva cheaper way to burn home or hobby videos than via BD-R or BD-RE.

There is no way to play or burn true blue laser BD discs except on a device that supports that media. The typical DVD burner on even the most recent PCs will NOT do that. One must buy a model that specifically supports BD or install a drive with that support.

Hi, i dont think that you need a blu-ray burner to record .m2t content to a dvd device. I make few videos whith my cam and burn-it in a dvd has BD content, and dvd content too. I think that you will need Blu-Ray burner specifcally to burn and read BD discs contents. But i still dont have a BD player, so i cannot tell you if it can read dvd discs whith High Definition videos.
Someone else?

Sorry by my poor english, it is not my native language.

Burning, any DVD burner drive can burn the data to a normal DVD... playing is a different story.

Computer drives can spin fast enough to read DVDs burned with high-bitrate m2ts files - STBs probably cannot.
Computer drives are designed to read and write at faster than 1x speeds.
If the file requires 19-40mbps to play, and a DVD normally reads at 1x ~9mbps(?), then the disc will need to spin a bit faster...
