Is there any way to burn uncompressed HD video on to Blu-Ray or on to a USB flash drive? In MEP there is an option to export as an uncompressed video but when I copied that file on to a USB flash drive, it wouldn't play on my TV/Blu-Ray Player.
Hi.
Which version of MEP? Please read https://www.magix.info/uk/forum/please-do-the-following-before-posting-your-question--621831/ and give the information requested there.
You can certainly export HD video to Blu-ray but I'm pretty sure even there it's not completely uncompressed. Uncompressed HD will have such a high bit rate that it is likely to create huge files and require very considerably resources in order to play back in real time, I think.
BTW, please don't post entirely in bold; it can make the reader think you are angry 👿

Hi
. . . . Is there any way to burn uncompressed HD video on to Blu-Ray or on to a USB flash drive . . .
If you do, you are looking at file sizes of 300GB to 400+ GB per hour of video.
Blu-ray (AVCHD) is highly compressed - BD disc size is 25GB and can hold approx 2 play hours of full HD video at an optimum bitrate to ensure good quality.
. . . . it wouldn't play on my TV/Blu-Ray Player . . .
They are expecting the video to be standard h.264 or mpeg-2 encoding - they probably do not support the video format you exported to - AVI ?

Hello John,
When I go to export video, I choose the option "Uncompressed movie", which then says Avi RAW or something like that. There is another option for just AVI, and another for DV-AVI. But, yeah, when I try to play on my TV it says "codec not supported", and when I try to play on Blu-Ray Player it says "Resolution not supported" and plays just the audio which sounds all distorted.

Hi
It is also possible to burn Blu-Ray as MPEG2 (HD) by choosing that option on the Burn window instead of AVCHD. This is a less compressed HD format that creates files approx 50% higher bitrate and (of course) size on the default settings compared to AVCHD. Whether this would give you any quality gain I can not say and would depend on your original material's codec ie if it was uncompressed, but not if it was already AVCHD, as there are always transcoding losses with compressed codecs. Even if the original was uncompressed you may still need to increase the default 28Mbps bitrate to gain an improvement with MPEG2.
