hey guys, i wanted to see what the reason that HD in say 720p cant be burned to a DVD 5. I have the entire series of Seinfeld in 720p, but dont wanna keep it on my hard drive. the problem is, how can i burn it w/o a blue ray burner?

any help would be rad.

thanks,

Tyler

Don't know if that is possible as dvd (mpeg 2 ) is only 480p, especially on a dvd-5

not quite. i have a capture card on my comp. captured in HD. i would like to burn it, so it doesnt take up a bunch of hard drive space. however, is there any way to keep it HD on a DVD5?

rotary,

the files are .mkv and around 2.18 GB each. the are in 720p if it matters.

as far as a stand alone player, it is a Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD Recorder.

Thanks,

NTSC=480i/p, PAL=576i/p.

gfxbss, Is your goal to play it on a stand alone or just to free up HDD space? I didn't get a clear message from your post.

If it is to play it on a stand alone and keep it in HD, then that is impossible. Standard Definition DVD players are designed to give a maximum output of 576p (PAL)/ 480p (NTSC). Unless you want to upgrade to a blu-ray/HD-DVD stand alone.

If you want to convert the files to play on a stand alone and don't mind losing some resolution (1280 x 720 ---> 720 x 576 PAL or 720 x 480 NTSC), then there are many applications available that can enable you to do this. You will need to create a DVD compliant mpeg2 file and then author it to a DVD.

If you simply want to free up HDD space, then just burn it to a DVD as a data disc.
