Hello, for the past 5 years I have been producing a home video and
sending copies to family and friends around Christmas time. It's about
60 minutes and consists of skits, stories and various light-hearted
shenanigans. I switched from VHS to DVD-R 3 years ago, and most
everyone on my mailing list now has a DVD player.
My camera is a standard def Panasonic PV DV953 that I'm quite happy
with. I use a PC for editing and once I've burned the finished video
onto a DVD, I use a Pioneer DVD recorder to make copies to send out.
My questions relate to moving up to high def. HD video cams are now
available as is the editing software to support HD. However, how would
I get in onto an HD medium and deliver it?
I understand that there are 2 proprietary HD DVD formats - Blu Ray and
HD DVD (the VHS and Beta showdown all over again). Looks like you have
to pick one of the above and go with it?
Are there recordable Blu Ray/HD DVD discs available? What about the
machines to record onto one or the other?
Then, just as some of my recipients still clung on to their VCRs, they
would have to own an HD TV as well as a player that reads Blu Ray or
HD DVD.
Have I sized up the situation properly? I'm thinking I'll stick to std
def for quite a while yet before making any committment.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Denny
