adywan,

don't worry about the HD DVD part,

i have that covered..

(i'll post a sample when i'm ready)...

--------------------------------------------------

meanwhile... if you're not familiar....start reading up on video conversion tools,

and threads (lots of info) -> hd dvd to  DL dvd -> http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=705146

--------------------------------------------------

digital conversion stuff.. everybody needs to start getting up to date on this stuff,

i'm pretty sure all the files, etc, should be high definition from here on out, and

you should all become familiar with how to manipulate them, convert them,

merge etc............................i'm surprised at how little has been done with

high definition video, and what little interest there has been so far with

the releases..........................................

------------------------------------------------------

first of all, if you run windows XP, get the UDF 2.5 driver, its free.........................

(also you can find used xbox hd dvd's drive for as little as US$50 ebay/etc............)

install the driver.........................by the way, i used imgburn to burn ady's test...............->

-----------------------------------------------------

now you see these files:

------------------------------------------------------

(alternately you can 'bust' the .iso using isobuster, and just extract that one file, instead of wasting a DVD-r for it)

you only need the .mts under -> stream

copy it over to your hard drive..

----------------------------------------------------

now use tsmuxer to 'break' open those files and see these

extract all files

-----------------------------------------------------------

from here on out, you have a TON of choices,

use SUPER (freeware), and convert to any format, avi (.h264), .mov (.h264), etc...will retain the 24fps,

or if you're adventurous...............convert to MPG2 (23.97fps)................

---------------------------------------------------------

take the resulting files, and use mkvmerge

for the final .mkv file...

-------------------------------------------------------

i will post a link to it shortly................................ 'same' quality, both ac3 5.1, and stereo commentary on track 2...

-------------------------------------------------------

 

and as a bonus, if you listen to the commentary....you will know what this 'spoiler' picture is referring to.....do you see them, they're tiny!!!!!!!!!!

sorry ady....bluray and the monopoly they have will never be acceptable, and will always be way too expensive.......(yes,

even with the ps3 price drop..sheeshhhhhhhhh)....................

later
