HDV mpeg2 stream suitable blue ray? - Blu-ray Forum

ph303 · 01-17-2005, 02:52 PM

hi there,

can anybody tell me if the mpeg2 stream created with consumer hdv camcorders (like Sonys HDR-FX1) is suitable for blue ray / hd-dvd without the need of reencoding the mpeg2 stream? If so in which format should i store the video on my hard disc to archive it until the first recorders become available?

cheers! Philipp / Germany

From what ive seen your best bet is to capture your footage as hdv using final cut pro 5 then export it as h.264 when those nifty blu ray drives come out. If you don't have a mac (very likely) then maybe avid but I think that final cut pro is the only one that edits hdv nativley with out converting it to some intermediate codec.
