and i try converted one
the quality is quite noticeable
p.s: if u have high quality video u can tell the difference
if its compressed,svc,vcd,vhs quality its not worth it
if u want to see the difference the camcorder that u use must be min quality of mini dv

yeah if it was your own home videos recorded with a nice camcorder, i thought the OP was taking commercial DVD's and trying to put them on blu-ray which is not useful

The commericla one's u can do it
i did 1.5gb uncompressed home video with 5.1 audio channel ittook 4 hours and end result is anywhere from 3.0gb to9gb depends on which format u use
mpeg is higher ouput/avc is lower output
commerical movie is anywhere from 4gb to 7 gb(i dunno if its legal or not-even thought u own the original dvd)

anywhere from 9gb to15gb its all depend on ur format u chose and number of frames in original file

You're still upconverting 720p to 1080p so it's not truely native HD.

bottom line really is with a commercialy produced DVD there is no point in reburning it onto blu

if you have the original source file that was recorded from an HD camcorder then yea it might be worth it

The only way this type of conversion would be useful would be if you are using some advanced upconversion process that is of significantly higher quality than your player or monitor is capable of doing, such as Super UpConversion (SUC). But even SUC leaves you with a 960p image which has to itself be rescaled to 720p or 1080p, so I'm not sure if there would be any noticeable difference in quality to most viewers.

Not true, 720P (1280x720p) IS High Definition!!

I used this process for the Sci-Fi Channel version of Dune. Since LIONSGATE promised us this in the early days of Blu-ray, but never delivered on this title just yet. This title is split on 3 dvds, and I put all of them on one blu-ray. It took about 1 hour to encode, and 1.5 hours to burn, only because I had a 2x blu-ray disc. Now, I buy 4x at Office Depot, because Target only sells Sony 2x 25G.

The program that I use is DVDneXtCopy. They have a feature on there that lets you put up to 10 DVDs on one blu-ray. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's assuming that you have a 50G disc.

I know that its not high Definition, but I wanted the convenience of having the movie on one disc as opposed to three. I guess I'm getting lazy of switching out discs. BTW, where are the blu-ray changers?

I remember about 17 years ago the laser disc format, movies came on
two disks and on four sides so you had to get up and flip the disc four times
what a pain that was.

To be technical, it may be considered Enhanced Definition. Though marketing will never admit it.

I think maybe you're confused. Enhanced Definition is a marketing term for a 720x480 progressive display. 720p is 1280x720 progressive and is part of the High Definition specification. The term "Enhanced Definition" has nothing to do with 720p or the hi-def spec.

I just recall reading it someplace. Since 720p is progressive doesn't that make it "enhanced"? Where as 1080i is HD but not enhanced. 1080p is both. I mean, if you want to split hairs.

720P is HD.
