HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

    OM gosh!  After working on this for 2 days, by golly, I got it!  I used Free App DVD Creator.  I had first tried to burn the disc in PAL Format.....wrong format for the good 'ol USA.  After a little research I learned that the USA format is NTS.....so I chose that and it worked!  I now have a disc I can play on our dvd player on the TV.  Thanks all for above assistance.  Problem now solved!

  • How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place.  Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

  • I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd player and tv, but everytime I copy it I cannot play the disc except on my Macbook

    I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd and tv

    You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.

  • After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player?  I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

    Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them.  When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in.  Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing.  So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it.  Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

    I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

    Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

  • How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?

    I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
    I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
    I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
    Is there any way around this?

    Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
    You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
    You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
    Photoshop Scripting
    But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
    File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
    into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable. 

  • How to convert to file that will play in quicktime

    I just imported and edited a .mov and mp3 audio file in logic express. Now, how can I save this into a type of file that will play outside of Logic?

    What I meant was bouncing whatever you want to play in Quicktime - you can bounce a whole song (digital mixdown) or you can solo a track/mute tracks that you don't want included and then use the cycle bar to determine a length to mix down.
    When you hit the 'bounce' button or choose it from the menu you'll have a series of options to choose from - whether you want a compressed file (MP3, AAC) or uncompressed (wav of aiff) and so on so you can choose the appropriate type. If you choose the desktop for the destination of the file you can drag it over the Quicktime icon in your dock (if its not there you can put it there) and it will play in Quicktime.

  • How to create recovery disc that have factory default in H320?

    Hi I just bought a ideacentre H320. I want to prepare recovery discs, but when I do so, I am only given the option to backup the "current system". I did not see option in such as "Factory Default Recovery Disc" as I see in OneKey Recovery 7.0 (Mine only come with something similar called "Lenovo Rescue System 3.0".
    But I don't want to back up the current system, I want to get the recovery disc to have factory image, so when I restore, it will be like I just open the the new pc from the box. How can I do that? (I know you can achieve the same thing through the "Service partition" but what if the harddisk is corrupted and you lost the partition?)
    Is there any way to backup the service partition, so when I do something like upgrade Hard drive, I will not loose the ability to return my pc to factory default? Thanks.

    Hi fongpwf and welcome to the community,
    In figure 14, it says "Create a bootable recovery disc from system backup or factory default image file."
    Are you saying that if you click the button to create the recovery discs that it only gives you the option of creating it from the system backup?

  • How to create an easteregg that will reveal an image

    I created a flash movie which resembles a control panel. I created a image of the group of people that worked on the project and I want the image to be hidden until the user types a key combination that would trigger the image to appear and dissapear when clicked. This url is something like what I was looking for,  (www.virtualmarketingblog.com/how-to-create-alert-boxes-in-flash/) but I want an image to appear instead, can this be customized?  The only problem is, I'm not really good at actionscript. Is there any tutorials out there that may show an easy way to do this. The attached file is a sample of my interface.

  • How to create dynamic stamp that will prompt for Cause number and exhibit number?

    I have a need to have a three line custom stamp that will look like the following but will allow a user to input the Cause number then the exhibit number, then successively number exhibits that the stamp is applied to:
    EXHIBIT
    12:74130
    001
    Exhibit will always be the same, but the cause number would need to be modifiable per batch possibly and I would like to be able to update the exhibit number to have a unique number on each page of exhibits....or just each exhibit.
    Can that be done?
    thanks!

    It sounds like you are trying to use a retail serial as an enterprise serial and would like to bypass it's restrictions by deactivating it . . . I assume that's not possible, but perhaps I don't understand your issue.
    I doubt you'll get a good answer on the forum. Try support, your sales rep, or a help link on the licensing web site (if there is one).
