How to burn HD trailers

[wingnutt]

Hi
I would like to burn some HD trailers I have down loaded to watch on new 1080 tv
When I burn to DVD in toast 10 the quality loss is quite noticable

What settings, conversions application do I need????. To watch in or as close as possible original quality

I still do not have a bluray player but an upscaling dvd player

Thanking you

nothing you do will be "HD" because its not blue-ray. Hence why it doesn't look good. You can burn it and use your upscaling DVD player and it will look much better. But until you have a blue-ray it won't be true HD. It will be 'phony hd'
When your burning it, it downscales it.

I realise it be phoney HD

But just a staright burn to dvd creates such a "crappy" result.
There must be some way to "enhance" the results thru some settings etc

Excuse my ignorance I'm only just starting into this area :)

no, you aren't missing a setting... it looks bad because you shrank the video down to SD.

buy an :apple:TV and you can watch trailers in 720p/1080i

or connect your mac to the TV and and play it back from the computer.

as simple and easy as that.....
I'll try connecting my mac to the tv

Cheers :)

Burn the video as AVCHD onto a dvd and it will play in a blu-ray player as HD.
