[gentoo-user] Making DVD high resolution

[Joseph]

I've used "Imagination" to make VOB and set in preferences resolution 1920 x 1080 HD
made VOB. How do I check the VOB frame size settings?

When I tried to made HD video using DVD Styler the max frame rate I can set to make DVD ISO is 720x480.
How to make DVD with higher resolution?

I checked the VOB with "ffmpeg -i"
The VOB is:
Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9]

The DVD I created with DVD Styler is only 720x480
Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p, 720x480 [SAR 8:9 DAR 4:3]

How to burn higher resolution DVD, I think I'll have to use command line?

You can't.

The DVD spec doesn't support HD video.

So what format do I have to burn the disk in, in order to have lets say 1920 x 1080 HD

Bluray. But I think it would be rather worthless. If you're burning to a
disc, I assume you're not using a computer, which means you probably
trying to play it on a TV in which case I would say just use a Bluray
player that upscales DVDs (most do)

So just burn the DVD as normal (don't bother upscaling) and play it on a
Bluray player.

Anything that is not DVD-Video. The DVD-Video standard is very strict
about which frame sizes and frame rates are allowed, as well as which
codecs can be used and their parameters.

You can try to save the 1920x1080 video in a normal file using some
container and generate an ISO9660 filesystem containing that file
(mkisofs can do that), and then you can burn it (cdrecord from
cdrtools). Some table DVD-Video players may or may not be able to play
a video file in a DVD prepared in this way.

But if you want to stick to the DVD-Video standard, you must use
the frame sizes and frame rates specified in the standard.

To be pedantic, I think you should be able to get 720x576 if you use PAL.

I don't know how to enable this in any particular software, though, or if you have to use a different framerate (which could be problematic).
