It's great that MF5 can do HD video now, but does anyone know what burners are available for XP in the US? What about media?
I have the Sony HDR-HC1 but so far the HD recordings I've done are pretty pointless.
MF 5 What burner?

"Finally, the BWU-100A is an internal Blu-ray burner that uses the Parallel ATA interface, so it would be a snap to fit into an existing PC. It will come with Blu-ray disc authoring software (although they didn’t specify which package this is: previous Sony rewritable DVD discs have come with As well as writing to Blu-ray discs, it can also burn DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs (but not DVD-RW). This will be available “this year”, but there are no details on pricing. But once again, it isn’t likely to be cheap."

From what I am reading on the web HD DVD/Blue Ray technology is having theething problems and are being delayed till maybe this summer.
I too have a HC1 and am waiting on HD DVD or Blue Ray with baited breath.
If you want to try doing some HD on standard DVDs with Divx check this:

I've decided to sit and wait on products. I'd like to have a hardware based mpeg2 decoder/encoder board for HD stuff. Everything I'm doing now is very cpu intensive. Like working on a 386 starting video all over again.
Tosiba just announced a player ( HD DVD ). Price = $499.00 us dollars
I do have HD TV's with standard definition DV/Analog recording equipment.
In my opinion the material recorded on the Canon unit and others looks best when played back in it's original format. Using progressive scan playback either in the DVD player or on the TV does make a difference.
I have HD outputs on my video card connected to HD equipment.
Some programs have limitations such as trying to play a commercial
dvd outputting to a TV. PowerDVD will not allow it and shutdown if the
TV output function is active. Playing back home movies isn't a problem because they aren't copyprotected.
Rather than running the HDTV at full resolution 1920x1080 I usually playback the home movies at 480p. Then setting video filters, brightness, sharpness, digital vibrance etc on the video card enhances the picture.
I'm very curious how Long.... it takes to burn a "blu-ray" disk to full capacity.
I would think one should definitely be on a UPS system.
