There are no HD DVDs yet. Some players will upscale to HD resolutions, but DVDs are encoded at 480i or 480p and there is no standard for HD-DVD source material.

If you are interested, there are threads on AVSForum where this is being tracked. Last time I checked, there were still two potential competing standards, and I didn't think that any of the DVD Player mfrs were putting either format in their machines. In other words, even if a DVD player outputs 1080i or 720p, its not engineered to read 1080i or 720p off a disc. They just upconvert the signal. Seriously, HD-DVD is crack to videophiles--look through the threads and you will get the latest scoop: http://www.avsforum.com |
