I had been wondering about

I had been wondering about this for the past year. I finally found a Pioneer Blu-ray burner being sold for $699 at the B&H website (www.bhphotovideo.com). I noticed that the price for HD-DVD or Blu-ray media is almost $20 per disc. There is editing software for hi-def (Sony Vegas 7, for example), but I wonder if special hi-def authoring software is needed to burn the Blu-rays and HD-DVDs.

Hey, this might be a good subject for a Videomaker article:
What’s needed to create video HD-DVDs and Blu-ray discs to send to grandma (or to a client)?
And what products are now available to do it?
(Hint! Hint! Videomaker.). 😉
