1080/24p Full HD video and blu-ray

[mikebeyers]

Hi guys and girls,

Please help. I am wanting to buy a Full HD video camera for wedding and other videography work. I intend using blu-ray as the medium for distribution.

I have read that for true FHD, blu-ray only accepts 1080/24p, which seems to be an American frame-rate to achieve the coveted "film look". All of the cameras I have seen for sale in SA, do 25p and not 24p, which some people say will prevent you from making a FHD disc.

Is this just a regional thing or do I have to find a camera from the US for 1080/24p? I don't like the idea of having to lower the resolution/double the frame rate or changing the footage to interlaced.

I do editing in Adobe Premiere Pro/Elements and Adobe After Effects.

Thanks!

The camera doesn't really matter it's the software you use to do the editing. My camera records at 60fps I can then encode that to anything I want using the editing software.

Thanks, I was hoping that with a bit of tweaking of the video and audio files that this would be possible.

Just make sure you buy a proper 1080p camera, not those cheapies going for R2000+ at game or Makro.
