If it can do dual-layer, the better.<br><br>But most sounded like they were using it for something from a camcorder or a TV show.  My interest are backing up my HD DVD movies like we can a standard DVD movie.  Is there a program that cracks a HD DVD movie, then allows us to use this process to fit it on the Dual-Layer DVD-r?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MJD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 11:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nero 8 update brings Blu-ray authoring, mini HD DVD support]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</guid><description><![CDATA[Will we be able to use VC1 or AVC?

I have just become aware of the new HD-DVD spec (approved in September 2007) called "HD Rec". This allows the writing of AVCHD (e.g. Mpeg4) to standard red laser DVD media and playing back on an HD-DVD player. Theoretically, this allows up to 2 hours of HiDef content on a standard 4.7gb DVD. It is unclear to me at this point if current Toshiba HD-DVD players with the latest firmware support this yet but it does hold hope for the future. I have emailed Nero support about this but I'm not sure I'll get a useful answer from them on this topic.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Barker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 12:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nero 8 update brings Blu-ray authoring, mini HD DVD support]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</guid><description><![CDATA["mini HD DVD-Video discs."<br><br>This is confusing. From the dvd forum web site:<br><br><br>To summarize the family of HD DVD discs: <br><br>HD DVD-ROM is a 12cm disc, 1.2mm thick, replicated as either single or dual layer, with a storage capacity of 15GB for a single layer and 30GB for a dual layer disc. Double sided versions increase capacity to 30GB and 60GB respectively. <br>3X DVD-ROM Brings the higher data rate of HD DVD to the conventional format, enabling 135 minutes of HD content to be placed on a DVD-ROM, using AVC or VC-1 codecs. <br>8 cm mini HD DVD offers 4.7GB in single layer form and 9.4GB as dual layer. A double-sided disc is part of the standard. <br>HD DVD-R write once discs can hold 15 GB per side, 30GB total. <br>HD DVD-RW re-writable discs store 20GB on each side, 40GB total. <br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[h0mi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 12:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nero 8 update brings Blu-ray authoring, mini HD DVD support]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/20/nero-8-update-brings-blu-ray-authoring-mini-hd-dvd-support/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have been burning HD-DVD discs on regular DVD media for a while now.  It's a little tricky, but it can be done using DVD Movie Factory 5/6 and Nero (instructions on how to do this are easily searched).  HD-DVD seems to be media-independent, laser independent.  More of a recording/encoding/structure standard.  4.7GB, 8.5GB, 15GB, 30GB agnostic.  So long as the content fits, it will play fine. I make HD-DVD discs from recorded OTA HD, and from my HD camcorder.    <br><br>So far everything I have done is mpeg2.  Seems the tools to use other codecs like VC-1 and mpeg4/h.264 to encode in HD-DVD format are currently high-end solutions only.  In time they should make it down to the consumer level, but I bet affordable HD-DVD burners and blank 15/30GB media will be out long before that happens.  I have lots of 10GB+ recordings setting on a hard drive awaiting some 15GB HDDVD-R media, hopefully that happens in 2008.  I split them across 2 DVD's in the mean time. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 2:50PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
