Hi people,
I have 2 mp4 files; see below:
Duration: 1:50:32
Data Size: 3.31 GB
Bit Rate: 4.29 Mbps
Video Tracks:
h264, 1280 × 720, 25 fps, 4.16 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps
Stream Files:
movie1.mp4 (3.31 GB)
Duration: 0:44:43
Data Size: 1.34 GB
Bit Rate: 4.29 Mbps
Video Tracks:
h264, 1280 × 720, 25 fps, 4.17 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps
Stream Files:
movie2.mp4 (1.34 GB)
Which I'd like to burn to disk and retain the HD so that I can watch them back on my Panny blu ray player/recorder home deck. Would a dual layer DVD made on my Mac accomplish this or must I burn the files to a blu ray disk? Basically how do I watch them in HD, folks? I use an iMac running El Capitan and my burning software is Toast Titanium. It is possible to import mp4s into my Panasonic DMR-BWT720 home deck but do they lose anything in the process? Would they burn successfully to a BD blank in the deck?
Thanks in advance!
Gil

If you just burn them as a data disc (No authoring) and your player accepts that, no problem. DVD or BD shouldn't matter.
You should then have an exact copy of the HD files.
I'd give it a test run with a single layer DVD disc first, though.
Others may have better information.
And welcome to our forums. -
if you want to make a playable movie disc
it will have to be in a BD format
DVD format does not allow for any resolution higher than 720*480
IF your BD player accepts PC files MKV, MP4 etc
you can BURN a data disc, just copy the file to a blank DVD -
I checked the manual. The Panasonic DMR-BWT720 can play HD MP4 files burned to DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL as data. There is no need to author your files and burn as DVD video disk, which would reduce quality and resolution to what DVD supports, or author them on a Blu-ray video disk.
When a Blu-ray player, doesn't play a supported format on supported media, usual reasons are some kind of data corruption, physical damage, or incompatible encoding. The manual does not provide any encoding guidelines, but chances are your files will play just fine.Last edited by usually_quiet; 5th Apr 2016 at 11:40.

Thanks, Mr Quiet. May I ask whether the HD mp4 files burnt to a data DVD will also be playable on a regular blu ray player, not just my swish Panasonic?
-
Many - but not all - BluRay players support data DVDs with mp4 files on them. Since these are not spec compliant to regular video BluRays (like the ones you buy in a store) compatibility is not guaranteed. (And not all mp4s are equal to make things worse)
-
Honestly unless you are authoring bluray compliant discs with or without menus, I am not sure what benefit a data disc offers. Why not just plug a USB stick or even better an external hdd?
