Supported Video Resolutions

All video resolutions supported by SD-based DVDs are also supported by HD-based DVDs.
This means that an HD-based DVD can use an HD video resolution for the main feature,
then use an SD video resolution for extras. The following list includes the SD and HD
video resolutions supported by DVD Studio Pro.

Note: MPEG-1 encoded video files are not supported in HD projects.
