HD off DVD-Rs

After many months of trying to find a solution to burning HD renders to a regular $0.30c DVD-R and playing it to an HD TV via HDMI; I finally found it. The JVC CU-DV40 burner/player will store HD.m2t and mpg files and simply plays them to the HDTV component or HDMI. It also plays regular commercial HD/SD DVDs and automatically sorts out the HDMI resolution on recognition of the files. The DVD-Rs are burned on my old regular DVD-R burner out of Vagas on the PC just as before.
When I have pursued forum listings that said that this or that player would play DVD-Rs with HD files, the manufacturer have always denied it was possible.
The CU-DV40 shows a file title list if there is no menu system on the disc and is simple and un-cluttered. If there is a menu system it operates it. The simple way is to make a plain data disc and copy the files with say Nero. Voila!

I thought about that too, but the problem is that I like to use DD5.1 sound, and you can't do that with M2T or mpg (multiplexed for play back).

If you burn hybrid HD DVD's (hd dvd's on regular media) and play them back on the Toshiba HD DVD player then you can play back with full DD5.1 sound..... with or without menus.

I went to the JVC website and the search says there is no CU-DV40.

There is a tremendous amount of information on this forum as to how to create HD-DVDs as well as BluRay DVDs on standrad, very low cost (red laser) DVD-Rs which play for 24 minutes on a single layer 4.7GB disk and 48 minutes on a dual layer 9 GB disk.

They can be played in either the et-top standalone players like the Toshiba HD DVD player, the Sony Playstation 3, or PCs with the proper software.

It's actually called the " JVC HD Everio SHARE STATION"

The Playstation 3 will not play back red laser Blu-Ray discs. It will however play back raw m2t files beautifully.

You are right Laurence. The PS3 will play the .m2t movie but not handle full BluRay menued disks.
