Burning HD DVDs...Help!

[Anonymous55]

i have a question...if i have a hd movie on my computer and i wanted to play this on my hd dvd player can i burn the movie using my dvd writer? or would i need a new writer that supports writing to hd?

You can burn hd-dvd video on dvd but it might not work an all hddvd players, try for example ulead dvd moviefactory.

But you need a new writer if you want to burn HD-DVDrs.

You can burn hd-dvd video on dvd

...but would the output be of same quality? if i was to do that i would have to compress the video wouldnt i? wouldnt doing that make the output just like a normal dvd? or would it be hd?
thanks for your help!

Yes, the quality will be hd but you wont be able to fit as much as on a hd-dvd media.

ok thanks alot! just one more thing...you say i wont be able to fit as much, but do you think i would be able to fit a complete hd movie on a dvd, without all the other stuff. and would it need compressing? i dont have a clue how big a hd movie is!

About 20min to play on your Toshiba HD-A1 or near 40 min if you can get dual layer to work. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten dual layer to work.

I have burned HD-DVD's on double layer DVD's using Ulead DVD Movie Factory to author the HD-DVD. I usually get about an hour's worth of content on one DVD+R DL, but when the bitrate is low enough I have managed to get an entire 90 min. movie on one disc. AVSForum.com has a guide on how to do this.
