I've just started to tinker with Film, got Adobe Premier as part of my cloud membership. For myself, I'd just store on a hard drive and stream through the apple TV to the Plasma. For friends I'd either use YouTube or send a USB key. But for my Dad I would need to send a disk, even then I have my doubts!

Eric a good friend uses Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD editing software on a laptop for simple good quality editng including BluRay and can also burn DVDs or BluRay off edited film. Cost in UK about £40. I can put you in touch with him if you need more info he authors my gwpvideo.com website.

Robert wrote: Eric, may be missing something here but why Blue Ray, are you planning on selling the video? If it's for home consumption then an HDMI cable straight to the TV does the job or an Apple TV. It was Graham who raised the Bluray issue...I was just commenting. If you read his post he also said he has gone back to PC. Personally I don't see a significant improvement from Bluray over HD on an HD television. On a higher res monitor it may be better. I also didn't ask about software (although thanks for your inputs) My original question was about 'upgrading the PC ' ....ie hardware ....as I imagine there is extra processing, memory and storage required when editing.

Apple have never supported Blue Ray because their policy on this is that it can be supported better by third party developers, Apple want to concentrate on providing a versatile platform, not specific extras like printers and external components any more.:baffled: There is plenty of support for Blue Ray on Apple computers (I understand) but I have zero experience of this.  I think the software is perhaps more important in the sphere of Video, Find the right software then buy the machine that will run it. The last movi I produced was three and a half minutes long. It took me all my spare time over ten days to edit, process and burn to DVD. Then the school banned me from distributing it to the parents of the children in the video because it broke the school code of privacy.:-( So, my enthusiasm for movies is limited.  Have used the icons to force para separation because I don't have firefox on the MBP

I have just finished another of my steam railway DVD/BluRays filming included aerial from helicopter work in Snowdonia: Welsh Highland Railway The Complete Journey. I did take the D800 and tried to give it another go but sorry it is only good for set lock-down shots. For good audio you need a pro mike and sound mixer. On the footplate of a steam loco climbing steep grades it would be almost impossible to use. View-finding with a loop only just works but the loop will not stay in place. I need still pix for the cover but every time you take a still you miss a good movie shot so with regret digital high def video is so good these days you can take all the stills you want of your movie footage! But Nikon D800 is still great and one of best ever SLR cameras I have ever had! Attachment: WHRC2013dvd CoverBarCode.jpg (Downloaded 12 times)

Thanks for the update Graham. Very interesting to hear about real experiences in this field, you must have had a ball making the production. Good luck with the sales! It sounds an exciting video.

Thanks for the update Graham. Very interesting your comments about using the D800 and its lack of features for quality movies. There seems to be a proliferation of DSLR cameras with video features. My take on this is that if you want a tractor you dont buy a Ferrari or a pedal car but get a tractor. There is a reason why there is a diversified marketplaces. I still dont fully understand the idea of consolidation of electronics devices. It is very seductive to have an all-in-one device but that assumes that you have such low quality standards that as long as it does 'it' then it's quality is good enough. Sorry not for me.

There is no problem with the very high quality of moving image you get out of the camera, in fact good enough to play on a feature film in the cinema! Nikon lenses are very sharp but if you want to pull focus or zoom not good news at all!

PS This is us off to do the aerial footage. I would not be very happy in open door and lots of wind holdinq a D800 to my eve with a loop on the back. But the 3rd member of out team took some super stills with the D800 including this shot! Attachment: Heli3438.jpg (Downloaded 10 times)
