So I received my GoPro Hero3 Black the other day and took it for a spin to record some mountain biking (helmet mounted). I am still new to PD, but would like to determine what the best output option to Blu-ray will be for the source files. I currently recorded clips at 1080/60FPS settings on the GoPro. The source file is an .MP4. Ideally I would like as little conversion (rendering?) to occur from the source to the burned Blu-ray disc. In the 2D disc options it looks like my native source 1920X1080 HD options are:
MPEG-2
- HD 1920X1080/60i
H.264
- HD 1920X1080/60i
- HD 1920X1080/24p
- HD 1920X1080/60i (24 Mbps)
or to get my 60p
H.264
- HD 1280X720/60p
Given the fast nature of the video (mountain biking), my goal is to get the best possible video (i.e. clearest, smoothest), while being able to distribute the video to others (i.e. physical medium - blu-ray/DVD). My system (below) is a strong system and shouldn't have any hardware issues. What are the best settings to use for blu-ray discs? What about when I start to record at some of the higher resolutions (up to 4k - 3840X2160) or FPS (upto 240) options in the GoPro?
Thanks for any help!
