Burning a HD DVD

You want an HD-DVD (the Toshiba format that is now extinct) or do you want a Blu-Ray disc?

Does your Samsung player play HD-DVD formatted discs, or does it play Blu-Ray?

Are you sure the player is actually an HD DVD player? Or is it a Blu-ray player? The HD DVD format was abandoned by all manufacturers a few years ago - losing out to Blu-ray. If it's a Blu-ray player you're using, it will play standard DVDs and Blu-ray discs, but not HD DVDs.

Toshiba was the only company to make HD DVDs. I have one of those players (Wrong bandwagon!)

Your player will not play an HD-DVD - for which Toshiba was the only manufacturer to produce players.

DVDSP does not support what you want to do, If you want to play HD content you need to create a Blu-Ray disc.

Try posting in the FCX and/or Compressor 4 forums.

Since the Blu-Ray discs I make do not require menus - they just play on insertion and repeat until ejected - I export my sequence from FCP7 without conversion, then use Roxio Toast Titanium to burn the Blu-Ray. If the sequence is short, say under 30 minutes, you can actually burn the Blu-Ray on regular DVD media, which saves some money.

But you will need a Blu-Ray capable burner in either case.

Unless I have miss-understood.

If putting "Blu-Ray" onto regular DVD media (ie AVCHD) then this can be done with a DVD burner.

Good, I did not know that - all I have are Blu-Ray burners on my workstation.

Thanks
