I wonder what happens on smart tvs

They'll become Android TVs :-) I have one, for example, Android 4.2, can install any app from Google Play, like good video players or games.

Ok I will try. @Vitaliy you are kind to answear at every single question of every single user! As for Html, I remember we have an option in Encore which outputs a .swf flash file... I wonder what happens on smart tvs

Next step: I would like to create a sort of menu which can autorun on smart tvs, allowing a small and simple selection of scenes,

Won't work. Best you can do is to make HTML with lot of gif files so MKV will play after click.

Thanks Vitaliy, I'm now converting .m2ts files to mkv using the wondershare video converter. Infact, after exporting to a BD folder, I get separated files for each title of the blu ray, plus a video file for each animated menu. Next step: I would like to create a sort of menu which can autorun on smart tvs, allowing a small and simple selection of scenes, just to choose which file to play and so on. How can menus or scene selection be added to a mkv file (or folder)? I also might need a free and simple player which works on smart tvs, allowing menus... Is that possible?

I read about mkv format, but can I obtain it from my workflow? Thank you for helping

If you have Blu-ray files you better just use some converter that could make MKV out of it.

Hello everyone. Maybe this has been already discussed somewhere in the forum. But I'm new to this: how can I easily give away the final job on a flash usb drive, in addition to dvds and blu ray? I mean a flash drive to be inserted in a modern Tv. My workflow actually ends up in Encore, where I create menus and burn the blu ray, and build dvds (transcoding to SD). The files I load in Encore come from Premiere in .m2v and .ac3 for audio. Shall I change the whole workflow? I read about mkv format, but can I obtain it from my workflow? Thank you for helping

@Sph1nxster Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

@Imackreath the video above is the first wedding video that I decided to use the cinemascope bars to give a cinematic feel and it made a huge difference.

I feel that my films were always cinematic but still had that look of being video. This along with grading goes a long way I think and is a tradeoff for the reduction of screen space. You just need to shoot with the framing in mind!

Interested to hear peoples thoughts on aspect rations they choose for their wedding videos and why. It seems the common format is either 16:9 using the full screen or 2:35.1 with the black bars at the top and bottom for a more 'cinematic' feel.

I wonder what determines peoples choices in aspect ratio, is it the venue?, the look? or is it simply a style that they like and they use it no matter what.

For me personally I seem to be using 2:35.1 a lot lately, but I am starting to think I am wasting valuable screen space by doing so. As soon as I start shooting full screen at 16x9 I feel my footage loses that cinematic quality and looks very amateurish..

your thoughts please..
