Setting the DVD Standard
You can choose from two DVD standards when you start your project: the original SD
DVD standard based on standard definition video assets and the new HD DVD standard
designed to use high definition video assets.
Most asset formats supported by SD-based DVDs are also supported by HD-based DVDs.
The exception is MPEG-1 video, which is not supported in HD projects. See
About Standard
and High Definition DVDs
for more information.
There are two places to set the DVD standard—each is used for different circumstances.
