Best software to edit HD content

[tbui57]

Thanks Obi.

Would Vegas Studio be sufficient for what I need, i.e., to convert MPEG2
to AVCHD (1080i) and burn to BD25 (preferably to DVD-9, since it's cheaper)?

I assume the DVD architect is a separate suite ? Do I need ACID for my
simple task of format conversion ? I would pay for top PQ/AQ, but I don't
care too much on effect or menu.

Thanks a million.

Since it is a tape model, and the hardware and software has come a long way... there really won't be much quality loss in the initial capture. it'll be so slight that you won't ever notice.

depending on any editing you choose to do to your video (contrast/color correcting/effects etc), there will be slight loss of quality when you do a final render after you have edited anything. But honestly, there's nothing you can do about that. Again though, in Vegas you can choose an uncompressed video/audio codec option to lose the most minimal pq/aq.

Yet, this would be true with ANY program you would use. It's as good as you can get brutha!
