DVD video output question

    Figured this should go here a it's more technical then the film forums.

    I've got to making a presentation in Adobe Flash and export a video file so a client can burn it to a DVD to play on his PC laptop to a 48" 1080p TV screen.

    My question is – if his laptop screen 1366x768 pixels and the TV is 1920×1080. Should he be able to play at 1920×1080 from his laptop?

    I'm not sure what output he'll use. I can check, but guess it'll be a HDMI cable.

    Yeah, shouldn't be an issue. He may need to change the resolution of the external monitor in the Control Panel or System Preferences. Most half decent modern GPU and Intel's integrated chips can handle 1080p.

    more importantly though

    DVD is NOT HD

    dvd is standard deff video

    so screen res is irrelevant as DVD spec is only 720 *576

    First off I wouldn't use Adobe Flash to make a video that was going to be burned onto DVD. Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro or Sony Vegas is what you need to use. Secondly, the laptop is only being used to playback the DVD, and the picture and sound are being output through a HDMI cable to a HD tv, so you need to make the video much higher resolution, use a higher data rate than the 7 or 8 Mbits, you need to crank it up to at least 12, assuming the original clips were recorded using a high definition video camera?

    not if its going on a dvd

    the combined data rate on dvdvideo is 9.8 Mbs as per the dvd spec

    Should have added a blu ray disc if the original clips were indeed recorded using a hi definition camera to get the most benefit from it.

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't know that the DVD was so low resolution! I figured it would go to to 1080p.

    I'm not using clips, but originating new animations in flash. It's really just an animated powerpoint presentation. In the future I may switch to After Effects if thats suitable to use instead.
