self-made HD-DVD on any PC with standard DVD drive/burner, or even without one.

Could have been described before, thanks to all the sources, it is consolidation thread and my own wonderful HD experience.

Only your own HD content, but of course.

OK, I've got everything working as desired.

That's what you need:

- Ulead Movie Factory 5+;
- Nero 7.5.x;
- PowerDVD 6.5 HD OEM.

Select HD DVD as a New Project in MF5+;
Drop your HD files in,( I used HDV clips from my Sony HC3 camera).
Make sure that option "Do not convert compliant MPEG files" is checked;
Create project with or without menus (adding menus takes a long time, be aware).
Select "Output HDDVD folders" to your hard drive desired location. It will output ADV_OBJ and HDDVD_TS folders.
Launch Nero, select DVD Video.
Drop some dummy .vob file in the Video_TS folder.
Copy ADV_OBJ and HDDVD_TS folders into the root.
Click "Burn", ignore all Nero warnings about non-compliant DVD-Video.
Burn a DVD+-R or just a Nero image .NRG to test your work( if you burned .NRG image, mount it with Daemon Tools or Nero ImageDrive).
Launch PowerDVD 6.5 (OEM HD).
Select the drive with just burned DVD as your source.

Tada!

Update: there is a new FREE software called IMGBURN http://www.imgburn.com/ which is capable of building ISO images from any folders.

Daemon mounts HD DVD ISO image just fine.


You need to select UDF only option in the Build menu.

Note to mods: please add it to the "free killer apps" sticky unless it is done already, very cool program, looks like Nero killer.

You don't need Nero anymore.

All you need is love...
