vote here if you want HD DVD output
Thanks to this forum I learned everything necessary to create a BD9 from a Blu-ray disk. But I need to be able to make a HD-DVD on a DVD+R DL (call it Mini-HD-DVD or HD-DVD9, whatever you want) from these nice *.ac3, *.sup and *.264 files I created in the process.
But how? Nero will reencode everything I throw at it, Ulead Movie Factory refuses to do what I want (despite carefully reading through this thread), hddvdmuxer is not ready for prime time yet and tsmuxer (tough supporting .EVO input) does not support .EVO output, not to forget the needed folder structure. So I want to ask all of you: is HD-DVD really this dead? I think at 8-15MBps one can produce pretty decent quality and at the price of Dual Layer DVD-/+R all those HD-DVD players could be pretty useful for quite some time. Going through the forum I have the impression that only very few people are interested in this though, and I refuse to believe this. So (hopefully) to encourage the coders of all the fine software in this forum to support HD-DVD/.EVO-muxing I put up this poll. The war may be lost, but browncoats: the fight is never over! Come out and vote for your format, so your starships may have better things to do than menial upscaling. Last edited by jofarmer; 27th September 2008 at 15:49. |

I for one do have the ability to make both types of discs (my source material being primarily OTA hd TV recordings) but when I think about which type of discs I should use "for posterity" it's hard to rationalize HD DVD, particularly as there ARE such easy-to-use freeware apps as tsMuxeR available, to output a BD structure for burning. |

And that is exactly what I hope might change in the future. |

@ setarip_old
after jumping to the HD DVD section you will discover that this post is about being able to play back a HD DVD by changing in into a BMDV: Quote:
And thanks for the link to the new firmwares, I didn't know about that yet :-) Last edited by jofarmer; 27th September 2008 at 23:56. |

yes, I would like to be able to output hddvd from h.264 encoded with x264. I spent weeks trying to do so; the sad truth is that there aren't any reliable tools for that, the existing ones are all broken and buggy (eg toast). I suppose I will soon get to the point where it will be cheaper for me to trash my tosh hddvd and buy a new BD player, rather than keep wasting time (and money) on hopeless software.

Thank you for that link, up until now I had been using AnyDVD HD in a VirtualBox Win Installation, so replacing that with OSS is a step in the right direction.
But I am appalled that it obviously still is not clear what I want to to: In short, I want to create HD DVDs from Blu-rays. That does involve demuxing, but demuxing has never been the problem - muxing has. ReferenceDivX's hddvdmuxer is the first program that promises to mux the audio and video streams I created by demuxing (for instance) a Blu-ray into a container playable on HD DVD Players. And that's what I am trying to to. On Linux (preferred) or a VirtualBox Win installation (acceptable). edit: hm, not sure, but DumpHD may not be OSS after all. But it runs in Linux, so I'm happy.
