| | Posted: | | | | Or HDD video format .. wondering if a supplementary movie ( looking at Forbidden Planet I have in High Def) could be true 1080? . .on my Forbidden Planet there is a second movie called The Invisible Boy.. I don't believe this 1957 89 min movie is available except for on High def DVD .. and because I have my player hooked up via HDMI the output to my HD Tv is 1080I ., which then made me wonder if all supplementary materials is automatically authored in High def from producers .. ?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | Sometimes extras are hi-def, sometimes they are not. There are no rules. You'd have to check reviews of individual releases (or the info from your equipment on the resolution they are producing or processing) to find out. Your player may be upscaling standard def signal to 1080i (or 1080p, for that matter), but that says nothing about the source material. You'd need to set your player to "PURE" (or a similar setting) to find out what the real resolution is. The fact that you're connecting through HDMI means nothing, the player's settings are relevant. P.S. This review suggests the extras on your HD DVD are in standard definition. BTW Forbidden Planet is available on blu-ray as well. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Most of the time, extras for catalog titles are included in SD, especially for those included on previous DVDs. As mentioned, these are often upconverted by your player and it may inaccurately state that it is 1080i or whatever. Some companies like Criterion upconvert their older SD extras and encode them in HD, but they're just upconverted. Usually, you can simply just tell what's really in HD and what isn't based purely on quality. | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

| | Posted: | | | | Like to revisit this topic .. as I am still in a quandary over this ..
If a supplementary movie on an HDD or Blue ray Disc is included but Can Only be accessed and played back on a High def dvd player ... would this encoding make that (non HD) movie HD ..??
I have The Invisible Boy listed in my library as a child of the HD Forbidden Planet,, but not making this title HD makes the title to appear that it can be played back on any conventional player .. Since this title can only be accessed from the HD menu of Disc ( hence the same disc ID number.. ) it ( Invisible Boy) should be listed as HD or Blue ray ..
it almost makes me wonder if we should have a catagory non HD ( or 480p) tick box .. ? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | actually I just figured it out ...
for the child profile
I had to go into general information change the media type to just DVD . .then that then allowed me to be able to change the video format to anamorphic .... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | The media type is not defined by the resolution. SD content on blu-ray is still blu-ray. It can not be played in a DVD player. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

No, it would not. Blu-ray or HD DVD discs have higher capacity than DVD discs, but that tells you nothing about the content stored on these discs. Compare it to a DVD filled with music files in the .WAV (native CD) format. If you insert such a disc in your CD player it won't play, even though it has native CD files on it. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |
