SD-quality (720x576), burn to blu-ray avchd -disk

Is it possible in Magix movie editor to burn sd-quality to blu-ray? I have not found a way.

 

We all might have a lot of home videos or tv-recordings in SD-quality.

I have 152  recordings, about  1 GB  each.

On a 25GB Blu-ray disk I can put 17 recordings, so 50GB disk would take 34.

 

The Magix editor converts sd-videos to higher resolution: it takes time and there is no use for blu-ray because it does not then take much more recordings than a DVD.

 

I have now saved the recordings from VideoRedo as elementary streams (mpv and mpa).

Then I have converted the mpa-files to AAC-format using dBPoweramp.

The next step has been to combine mpv and AAC to ts-sream using TsMuxer.

Finally I have created a avchd-disk using Multiavchd: http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/

So, I know a blu-ray disk can be used to store sd-recordings. The Multiavchd creates also menus, titles and chapters. And the video is still 720x576.

 

The appearance of menus is not as good looking as Magix would produce.

I am hoping I could use Magix to do this.

 

And I know that (considering the amount of recordings) some of you are thinking about DLNA and other solutions, but the purpose was to create a simple "push-button" way to view the recordings. I had to consider the "wife-factor".

Hannukn,

 

 

Thinking in another direction have you considered putting your MPEG files onto an external hard drive attached to one of the HD 'Media players' available. I've got one attached to my full HD TV via HDMI cable. No fancy menus, just a list of files with options for folders and sub folders like any filing system.

 

There has been quite a discussion about a Western Digital offering on one of the other Magix forums:
