Blu-ray and HDV

Post by erdna »

I am puzzled about creating a BD disc (folder) from HDV video and selecting MPEG2 and1440x1080. My problem is that although X3 allows this selection, the Bly-ray specification only allows 1440x1080 with AVCH264 and VC!, not with MPEG2. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc ) So I think the anamorphic HDV footage gets converted to 1920x1080 before it is being embedded into a BD format. Right?

That is certainly my understanding. And from making only a couple of BDMV folders from HDV, that is also my admittedly limited experience... The only really curious thing I found, though, is that in the conversion process, the UFF HDV gets converted to LFF. Yet the end result shows now field order problems or artifacts... :roll:

Thanks Ken. About the UFF/?FF issue I reported before. I did quite some tests and it was (is) my understanding that or VSX3 "does what it has to do" or - and I am more conviced about this one - is that for interfield codecs it doesn't matter as long as you stay within the interfield mode (mpeg2 and4)
