HDTV on DVD-5

[stenews]

Hi to everyone,
I just bought a new brand USB dongle that is able to record a HDTV.
I mean, I can watch and record with the crispy and bright resolution of 720i/p or 1080i/p. (the Blu-ray standard resolutions i suppose) :confused:
Now my question is, how can I create a DVD-5 with those steams and be able to use them in a Blu-ray stand alone player?

Bye and thanks in advantage,
Stefano. :helpful:

You can convert the streams with Ripbot (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127611) (select create blu-ray disc) and then burn them on a DVD (using a UDF 2.50 structure instead of ISO). It will then play in blu-ray players.

If the streams are fully blu-ray compliant, you can also just remux them into a blu-ray structure with tsmuxer (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=134104&highlight=tsmuxer).

If I decide to use tsmuxer how should I proceed over?
I read a way described by jdobbs that involve the use of FFMpeg or something like that but I could not really understand the whole thread.
Could you summarize it for me making my life a bit easy?

Thanks for your reply
Stefano. :p

Just open your file in tsmuxer, select blu-ray disc as output and that's it. Then burn the structure to a DVD. If the files are compliant it will play.

If the files aren't compliant, you will need to reencode them with ripbot.

Right, I'll give a try and I'll see what's happen.

Thanks a lot for your replays.
I do appreciate that.
Bye,
Stefano. :thanks:

Just one more curiosity.
In case I wanna to use the same file to make just a only proper DVD-5, how can I do that?
I mean starting form a HDTV (ts file 720p) can I do a sort of down sampling to record it in standard DVD?

Thanks again,
Stefano. :p

Just resize your frame to DVD standard size and decimate frames as needed to achieve DVD standard frame rate, and then author a DVD with it.

Hi neuron2,
thank to reply me but what do you mean for
decimate frames as needed to achieve DVD standard frame rate
Can I do that with d2s or DVD-RB? If yes how? :helpful:
Could you explain me with more details?

Bye,
Stefano.

I don't use those programs.

I decimate with an Avisynth script. For example, you have 720p 59.94 video and you want DVD compatible:

SelectEven() # decimates half the frames
LanczosResize(720,480) # resize frame

I've ignored aspect ratio issues here. But that's the basic idea.

[stenews]

Right...I see your point.
I'll give a try and I'll see if I can do that.

Bye,
Stefano :thanks:

Hi Fishman0919,

I just had look that tool and I think it does what I want.

HDTV2DVD does a great job of putting HD recordings on a DVD-5 at DVD resolution. HDTV2DVD hasn't been updated in quite a while as the functionality was built into SVCD2DVD.

Hi jikchung,
thanks for your reply.
I'll have a try SVCD2DVD and I'll report to you what it'll be my experience using it. :)

Bye,
Stefano.

AVS2DVD can import m2ts too and convert to DVD (with resizing and audioconvertion)

[stenews]

Hi Wishbringer, thank for your reply. :p
I already had the chance to use AVS2DVD and I learned by my self that it can do that.
I read around that manolito tested almost all the one-click applications and in his experience DeVeDe for Windows and AVS2DVD are the bets of all.
He knows is job so I trust him. :cool:
