Gary,
Your entire investment in a system to burn HD DVDs is a standard (red laser)
burner for about $30 from NEC, Pioneer, Liteon, etc. plus some blank disks
at 20 cents apiece. Your authoring software (Ulead VideoStudio 10) will cost
below $100 and will also do a very nice job of editing HDV video and
authoring standard DVDs as well as HD DVDs. If and when you should decide to
buy a blue laser burner for burning HD DVD or BluRay format disks, this
software already supports both blue laser formats so no additional
investment is required except to eventually buy a blue laser (HD DVD or
BluRay) burner when their prices come down. This would only be required if
you wanted to make 2 hour HD DVDs or 2 hr BluRay DVDs.
Note that there are two incompatible HD formats for creating high definition
DVDs, one called BluRay, the other called HD DVD. Each will require unique
burner and blank disks, and therefore......you would need to either commit
to one format....or buy both burners and 2 different style blanks if you
wanted to make both BluRay and HD DVD format disks of 2 hour duration.
