Burn HD MPG Files to normal DVD and play in HD-DVD Player

[gigabyte137]

I have 1440 x 1080 HD mpg files but can I use VS 11+ to burn them on a regular dvd but play them in a HD-Player and view them as 720P? If so is there a walkthrough on how to do it? Thanks...

Standard DVD only takes SD. To play HD, you need to burn to a HD disk.

You will be able to burn HD onto a standard DVD with
Ulead® VideoStudio® 11.5 Plus - Facts & Features - Coming Soon!

Obviously though you will not get so much video (in playback time) on such a disc. Such a disc will only be playable in a HD disc player (such as a Blu-ray Disc set top player or Sony® PlayStation® 3.)

Yes I know it will be only about 20 mins of video but they dont make HD-Dvd burners yet so I can at least play 20 mins of video per dvd in 720p... So I cannot do it right now but in 11.5 I will be able to? Thanks....

You can use either VS10+ or VS11+ now to make a HD-DVD.
In VS10+ simply install the latest 2 patches.

In VS11+ you burn you HD-DVD to a standard DVD, which as you know will yield about 20minutes for a single layer dvd.

As for the 720p that is done in the "Playback Device". So leave your source video as it is, fielded UFF, 1440x1080i@25MBS, audio=your choice.

The player will perform the conversions in hardware whether to output the source video in SD (composite/s-video), 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p

There should be no need to change your source video parameters to match your HDTV, its done in the playback device using the playback devices "Display Modes".

Do I do it under Create disk? If so when I select dvd 4.7 it only allows me to keep the file at 720x480. If I select hd-dvd 15 gig I can do it but will that then burn to a regular dvd?
If you have a wlakthrough from once you have the actual mpg2 file in 1440x720 that would be great... Thanks
