Tech help on making DVD site...
 

The best quality we have obtained on our films is by shooting on HiDef and then burning to DVD, seen projected using a DVD player upscaling to HiDef on a HiDef projector the quality is extremely good with great picture and sound.

We would like to offer our films to our clients on DVD. The first problem is PAL / NTSC and as our films are all shot PAL it will have to be a European site. (Or can Americans watch PAL DVDs on their computers or new blu ray players?)

Second how to deliver the DVD, I was thinking first of a NERO disk image, but then what about all the other DVD burning software.

Or just the VIDEO / AUDIO folders ? Or maybe zipped?

Any ideas

I Thank you for your help in advance

No one have any ideas?

Americans need not apply, seeing as you're all baby killing murders.. AMIRRIGHT CHERRY?

why not use HD WMV ? plays worldwide and a scene fits on a dvd
(or consider making blu rays dvds)

:thumbsup

I'd also recomment HD WMV or H.264 - both great quality. If you want to deliver images create .iso files as most burning programs can open it - but seriously i wouldn't recommend it, because you'll receive a lot of mails like "my windows media player won't open the iso file - what am i doing wrong" :D Not all users have tech skills oO

Have you tried sucking this knowledge out of noam chomsky's flacid, wrinkled cock yet?

That method seems to have served you so well in the past.

You mean WMV files with resolutions of or 720 upwards ? and high bit rates to match...

These can only be played on the computer correct? They could not play it on their HD TVs

Creating an iso files sounds interesting. I though I would put a free example for them to try BEFORE joining....DON'T JOIN UNLESS YOU CAN GET THIS TO WORK etc ....

The trouble with wmv (which we have on our site now ) is that it is a red herring, the main quality being determined by the bitrate/encoding. and the fact it can only be played on the computer.

No you are wrong, some of my best friends are Americans, Geronamo, Noam Chomsky, etc

I see your contribution to technical matters is equal to your political contributions.

Well ok, wmv can only be played on computers, at least i don't know any dvd/bd player that can play wmv - but on the other hand to view the iso on a computer you'd need to mount it as an additional drive and play it with some dvd player software (i watch 90% of all videos on pc - cause i've got full-hd panels on the pc, but only a standard not-hd tv oO ) - i'd do both if you think that burning-2-dvd is a market.

That is the idea, as the films are already made, a way of offering the client another way of watching. It is a shame about the NTSC /PAL problem. I doubt if they would go to all the trouble of burning a DVD and then watch it on computer, but the results look fantastic on HD projector or TV.
