So... hypothetically... Let's pretend I have HD television (in reality, I don't). The Rockets game is going to be on an HDTV channel (let's say it's HD channel 312) later tonight and I won't be home. I want to record the game. Now, if I'm sure I could DVR it (assuming I had a DVR), but I want to have the game burned to disk so that it's portable and so I can watch it somewhere else (take it to my dad's house and watch the game with him). How does one go about doing such a simple thing in the HD world?
You can burn any HD program to regular DVD. I do it all the time. The dvd is not in HD, of course, but it makes a very good copy, depending on the length of the program.
2 hours + of pure HD signal wont fit on anything but a blueray disc Might be easier to just buy a HDTV. like the one Im selling.
You'd have to wait a few years when BD-RW beome affordable before you can do it without some annoying high tech tricks like setting up a file sharing server.
No, but I bet a basketball game without commercials and without halftime would fit on two dual-layer DVD disks (switching disks at halftime).
that is a possibility. even if it was a touch too big, the slight amount of compression required to fit it wouldnt affect the quality enough to really matter. In my experience, *most* edited games will run you 1:30-1:40 without halftime.
