Burning formats

[fubar69 0]

I posted something a little while back about buring my cx100 footage onto blu ray disc and someone suggested cost saving by burning the footage onto a normal dvd but in a file format called dvd5 and it would then only play back on that burner.

My first question is i use adobe prem 7 im not really sure how i would burn it in that format using this prog so i guess i have to extract it and use another prog like nero or roxio?

My other question is if i want to burn the best quality dvd but for it to work on a normal dvd player what format is best to use? When i burn my cx 100 footage through Adobe its final format is .dvd.

Any info to clear up some of my confusion would be great.

Thanks

premiere 7 doesn't support Blu-ray, nor HD of any flavor, IIRC.
You can burn an HD MPEG 2 or AVCHD file to any DVD5 (standard DVD) and it will play in PS3 or BD player built post V1.2.

The .dvd extension isn't a format, it's a reference file. A finished DVD contains only a vob. You'll need to output to MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 for HD output in Encore CS or other HD-capable DVD authoring application.
