Burning 720p or 1080p to DVDs

[wusaga]

Question for you guys...If I burn a 720p or 1080p video to a standard dvd, then play it in a blue ray player (on a 1080p flat screen), what level am i now viewing the video on? Just curious as i'm not sure if blue can upconvert the viewing of the dvd.

Are you wanting to burn the 720p file to the DVD? If you are burning the file to the DVD and the DVD player can read that format, then it will play in its native resolution. If you are converting the HD format to DVD format, as long as your blu-ray player is connected to the TV via HDMI cable, up conversion should occur. Most blu-ray players will up convert DVDs if the player is connected to the TV via HDMI.
