I have only been experimenting and have not produced a DVD yet. Typically I use Clip Browser to convert the original to .mxf. Then import into Vegas Pro. Then what? I want to keep 1920X1080 and write to HD-DVD or BluRay.

It would be nice to put the HD video file on an 8Gig USB stick I could view in the PS3.

I convinced my main customer to buy an I-O Data Avelink player. A little dated, but, it will play WMV9 files from a USB type CF card reader. Works like a dream. These can be had on Ebay for about $100.
