Re: exporting video to HDTV - help

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.
