getting there with HD video

[PCPeteUK]

I have the GoPro 1 & Drift HD170 - the drift is every bit as good as the GoPro but I can't afford a MK2 or Black :)

I've done some DVDs and they are good quality, I think it's just the blu rays which suffer. There's lots of info on the pinnacle forums about the 63% maximum quality. That's why I got the software for free in the end as I was assured it would work and when it didn't they just refunded me my money.

I've just done my 1st blu ray disc and am happy with the quality.

I found this on a forum:

"Quality is not being lost during export to Blu-Ray disc.  Popular HD camcorders produce files of about 25mbps maximum, and Studio's Blu-Ray disc exporter supports 40mbps (at Best Quality).  The 63% designation refers to the difference between the source files on the timeline and the Blu-Ray export Best Quality setting. 

Here are some examples of bit rates of video types.

HDV = 25mbps

JVC Everio HD = 26.6mbps average

AVCHD =  maximum of 24mbps, depending on type;  consumer cameras may be closer to 17mbps. 

Because Studio supports 40mbps for Blu-Ray, the only way to display 100% quality in the discometer for this format, is to use a source format that is actually 40mbps."

My filming was done at 24 or was it 25 fps and ive not tried 50 fps yet.   

Stilla bit foreign to me yet!!

Patrick, yeah, that's the info I was referring to. I think I expected DVD quality as in what you would see on a film DVD.
