Looking for a blu ray recorder or dvd recorder to record HD camcorder video
Hi ya guys, how you all been? Anyway, i'm getting a Sony HDR-XR520 HD camcorder in a couple of weeks and am thinking about how I can transfer the awesome video footage onto dvd or blu ray to be played back on my Panasonic DMP-BD55 blu ray player. I know there are various blu ray dvd writers out there, and obviously hardware standard dvd recorders, but whasts the best way to get that pristine high definition video I record on my camcorder to dvd?

I mean standard dvd is only 720 x 576 I think if i'm right, and so i'll lose quite a bit of picture quality if I transfer from my HD camcorder to a standard dvd recorder wont I? Obviously I need the disc to be compatibel with my Panasonic blu ray player, so recording to a HD dvd recorder is out of the question since most blu ray playerts wont accept HD DVD discs.

How do you guys get your pristine high def footage onto dvd or blu ray dvd?
