I don't know, but I highly doubt that a DVD player can play a 1920x1080 file. The best way to be sure is to read the device manual. > I have new camera that records HD (1920x1080) mpeg4 movies, most files are > below 3GB; is there a way to burn them into standard DVD on Linux. > I'm familiar with standard MPEG2 format and burning but not HD MPEG4.. Please provide more information. I *assume* that you have a dvd-recorder driver in your computer and a Blu-Ray player on top of your TV. If that is the case, 1) I would try some blu-ray authoring tool; presumably, such a tool would generate a .iso file intended to be recorded to a Blu-Ray media. I would record that .iso to a DVD media. I guess it would work. But to be sure it would work, I would 2) Read the device manual. If you don't have a Blu-Ray player, but only a normal DVD player, I think it is very unlikely you will be able to play a 1920x1080 file with it. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free. --Linus Torvalds
