It’s still a brave new world as far as high definition is concerned. The battle between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is still raging on. In terms of software, neither Roxio, nor Nero support HD-DVD, so even if you have your movie in HD, you won’t be able to put it on a DVD.
There’s another “burner” out there called Ashampoo which claims it supports Blu-Ray, Sony’s HD format. With the functionality provided, you can erase a re-writable Blu-Rays or create a data Blu-Ray. You can’t do a video disc though as the specs for it are still not finalized. HD-DVD burners are not exactly cheap or widely available either.
Sony has a Blu-Ray High Definition DVD Recorder with a price tag of about $4,000. That’s close to what the first DVD recorders used to cost. It’s bound to go down. You should check with some of your local video production companies, if you could rent a HD-DVD recorder.
So right now, these are your options. Save the HD movie file to a data Blu-Ray disc that will only be playable on another computer. It’s not much, but it’s a start.
