Re: Starting to think about HD

Vegas / DVD Architect will not do HD DVDs since Sony is hugely protective of
their BluRay market. On the Mac FCP is definitely the way to go for making
red laser HD DVDs from HDV, but far cheaper and remarkably competent piece
of software from Ulead (Video Studio 11 Plus) as well as Pinnacle's latest
$100 NLE both do a very nice job, as does Magix for about $50.

Another very low cost and perfectly reasonable work-flow is to edit the HDV
in VideoReDoPlus which allows effectively frame-level editing, followed by
authoring the HD DVD in Ulead. Their latest HD Pack option for $20 allows
for the HD DVDs to have the program video along with floating menus show
simultaneously if one wishes to make menu choices without ending the current
playback.
