Burning on a Blu Ray Disc question - Blu-ray Forum

Lucky Luc · 01-04-2009, 03:48 AM

I burned last year's Stanley Cup Finals on regular DVDs. They were in high quality HD presentation. Obviously it wasn't real HD, but they look GREAT!

My question is if I burn this years Winter Classic to a Blu Ray disc, will the quality be better than on a DVD-R?

Just a thought...

Lucas

Thanks...

Probably would be high resolution, with low bit rate. Might look slightly better than DVD.

It all depends on the quality of the source material. If you have a ATSC/QAM tuner in your computer and are using a outdoor/indoor antenna to record 1080I broadcasts or Verizon FIOS then the recorded quality will be bit for bit the same quality as the original broadcast as long as the proper software to burn the BLU-RAY disc is used.

If the Hockey event means a lot to you, better to test a Blu-ray burn of some broadcast before then. You may learn how to optimize the results.

Worst case: failure.

Next worse: the broadcast burns to BD media, but the capture is in standard definition, at 1280x720p but with a low bitrate, or something even worse.

I think the game was broadcasted at 1080i. I'll do a trial and error run. Low bit rate will cause motion blur, right?

Thanks for the responses.
