Star Create Both HD-DVD & Blu-Ray HD on Plain DVD-R Discs
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 23rd Feb 2008 11:29 UTC
Multimedia, AV The time may come where you will have to burn both a Blu-Ray disc for your family, and an HD-DVD disc for your boss who got hurried out and bought that HD-DVD player just so he can show off to all of you who waited for the format war outcome. Besides, while the HD format war is over, there are still over 1.3 million HD-DVD devices out there. I have modified some HD authoring methods found on the net in a way that 80% of the work to be done is the same for both formats, and with the rest 20% of the work only taking an additional 10 minutes for each format to be muxed and burned. Blu-Ray method is here, and the HD-DVD method is here (methods are identical up to step #7). Not only that, but you won't even need an HD burner, as these methods exercise plain DVD-R discs and they are using freeware tools.

Yeah, but it ain't matter, because 95% of the users have that anyway.

And most DVD recorders (at least here in Europe) bundle Nero. So what's your argument for avoiding Nero?

Wow, someone is wrong on the internet! ;) ;)

Look, Nero does not have more than 20%-30% penetration, Windows has 95%. I don't have Nero, and most people don't even buy recorders alone, they buy PCs. And at least the DELL PCs don't come with Nero bundled.

So that's why I don't use Nero. As for Windows, it is a given. If you don't have Windows you can't run most of these utilities that run only on Windows anyway, so that's your problem, not the rest 95%'s.

So please drop this silly, off topic discussion. If you don't like the tutorial and the 4 hours I spent on it, then don't bloody use it.
