Making a High Definition DVD
High Definition DVD is a unique type of video disc which allows you to
author HD video to DVD, for playback in true high definition. This gives you
the ability to create HD video discs without owning a Blu-ray Disc recorder.
Although you are recording to standard DVD discs with this project, you
can only view the finished project on a Blu-ray Disc player. This type of
project is ideal for creating video discs from your AVCHD camcorder.
