Blu-ray on DVD video tutorial

[jla930]

I think someone posted a link a few months ago to a video tutorial explaining how to put Blu-ray video on a regular DVD-R disc and still be able to watch it in Blu-ray high definition. Of course, there was a limit to the amount of video that would go on the disc; it was like 20 minutes worth, or something like that.

I failed to put that link in my bookmarks, and I can't find it in a search. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The video tutorial was somewhere around 15 minutes long, give or take, and it was given by a man who seemed to be standing in front of a live crowd in an auditorium of some sort.

Thanks for your help.

This is likely the person, and maybe the video: Bruce Nazarian shows how to produce affordable Blu-ray

xStep,

That's it! That's the guy, and that's the video! Thank you so much!

So basically, you just need Toast 9 (or newer) with the HD-Plugin. And when you go to burn the Blu-Ray just select your Media as DVD-R instead of BD.

your not going to fit much onto there though!! what, 30minutes? 1hr?

nice idea but.

i would prefer native support, but this is something i probably will look into. For home video's etc, i don't have the need to have over 30 minutes of video anyways

very true and great point, this is perfect for that sort of thing!! for movies not so much, they are just too large (unless you want to split the movie into two and burn them to two dual layer discs).

Does anyone know the actual max amount of time you can get on a single layer DVD-R (along with encoding bit rate)?

I've heard 30 minutes on a DVD-R and 40 Minutes but without a clear answer and no mention at which bit rate.

Thanks

well if we go off the standard bitrate of a BR movie, which is 40mbps. and we use a dual layer DVD at 9.4GB, 40mbps is 18GB per hour (5MBps *60secs * 60mins). so roughly 30minutes will fit on a DL dvd.
