  exporting video to HDTV – help

  Posted by Hdaddictt on February 3, 2007 at 11:05 pm

  Hi there,
  I’m looking for help regarding HDTV exporting from aftereffects, and in general.

  I have a nice animation made up in high-resolution (uncompressed AVI) and i want to play it from my DVD player and see it in HD quality on my 37″ LCD HDTV monitor.

  -Do i need to have a special video card that will compress it for HD?
  -Do i need a special HD codec?
  -Do i need an HD DVD player?

  The res. i used: 720×480, 1920×1280 and 1920×1080 came out good but with a look of a regular TV (slightly pixelated – not crisp looking), i used the best program as well: DVDit pro HD.

  Please give me an idea of what is required in order to export HDTV compatible graphics.

  Thanks!

  Hehe i’m a junior HDaddict…

  So basically a combination of:

  The right exporting (i use an HD program, so it should be fine) –> the right burner (does it have to be an HD burnering drive? ) –> the right player (blu-ray or HD DVD)

  to actually see it in HD?

  You need an HD recorder to record the file in HD. Then the playback will depend on which burner you use – HD DVD or BluRay. Several major players (LG leading the way) are making them compatible for both in the new models coming out.

  Slightly less troublesome would be to record your video on a regular DVD anamorphically and then use a DVD player with the ability to line double the video to the monitor and to stretch the squeezed video out to full 16:9. My son has an LCD 37″ monitor and he uses his XBox360 to upconvert DVDs to the monitor. Not quite as good as true HD but a lot less expensive currently.
