1. For standard definition, my camera a Sony HXR-NX5U produces MPEG2 files which I already knew are not supported. So the issue becomes converting the files before importing. Currently every conversion through Sorenson Squeeze 9 I've tried has ended up losing an unacceptable amount of color depth no matter the file type I choose. As files they all

One other mention: On my system the Cyberlink BD Solution movie player can access and play the files.

A client has given me their Sony HDR-SR10 Camcorder with HD files on its hard drive. They wish it to be made into both Blu-ray and DVD formats. The camcorder's only outputs are Mini-HDMI, USB and Analogue RCAs (no Fire Wire!). I have imported the files on it into my Avid system but Xpress Pro says they are not recognisable (MTS extension).

As a general matter of practice I have always limited my authoring of DVDs to 2 hours of sound and video.

Sometimes I need to make good old fashioned C.D.s from analogue tapes and I have used Xpress-pro to do it too. Very high quality results but it is not as easy to do as other progams I've used that are designed more specifically for capturing and editing sound intended to become music C.D.s.
