Hey everyone,
I was hoping to find some answers and thought I might ask here in the forums, perhaps someone knew about this...
I recently purchased a canon HV20 (very happy with it I might add) and thought that the 1080i shots looked great while being played back via the HDMI output to my HDTV. I deciced to import some shots on my mac powerbook G4 using iMovie, that worked well, and (although a fairly long process) I was happy with the quality of the quicktime files I created. (1920x1080, AAC, using H.264)
I then proceeded to try to burn some clips from iDVD to a DVD-R and that worked well, (although it is not 1080 of course).
--------------------
Now for my question,
I would like to burn my 1080 clips to a DVD-R but maintain its full quality. I realize I would only be able to use a limited amount of space since it would in fact be higher quality (hence less video time). I am completely fine with that. I know there is a way for it to be done on the PC, but I have been searching everywhere and can't find anywhere that mentions how to do it for a mac. So basically, how can I burn my HD movie clips to a DVD-R that, when played on a HD-DVD player will be shown at its true 1080i quality?
If you can chime in on this, I will be *very* grateful and would appricate it very much. Thanks again for reading my semi-long post!
extra info:
I have a powerbook G4, latest OS X, iMovie, iDVD, and access to Final Cut Pro on my friends powerbook G4 (same setup).
If in fact this is possble, the HD-DVD player I am aiming to play the disc through would be an Xbox 360 HD-DVD player, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
