I’ve been looking hard into options for delivering HD video to my clients. Right now I’ve got a lot of weddings backed up that are HD for when I figure out the best HD delivery method. So, I wanted to present some options to you, the reader and/or client and hear your feedback.

First up is Blu-ray discs. The blank media and players are still expensive but you would think they would be going down soon. Every one is used to DVD discs and could jump right into using Blu-ray if they had the player.

Secondly, is delivering your HD videos on this little guy, the Western Digital HD media player. It’s a very reasonably priced player that seems to play all sorts of media including 1080p full HD.

Next is delivery via the MP4 format. This I’m thinking might be the most popular format right now as it doesn’t cost anything. It will simply play in your iTunes and Apple TV. It could also be played on your iPhone or iPod even though it wouldn’t be HD. I’m looking into possibly delivering through a video podcast or vodcast. Does any one know if you can deliver HD vodcasts? I personally have an Apple TV and love it. It plays anything that’s in my iTunes and can even rent and buy movies, tv shows and music.

So, please leave comments on what you would prefer.:
-Blu-ray DVD
-Western Digital Media Player
-MP4 format and possibly on an Apple TV
-Or another option I haven’t thought about

   Definately Blu-ray! Any Audio/Videofile would love it….including me! I’d pay extra to have my wedding available on Blu-ray as would any paying customer I think.
