It depends what you're doing. If you want to distribute this as a DVD
then you want to select PAL DVD. The 1080 options are all
high-definition and I rather doubt any DVD players could play this.
Blu-ray players could, but are they common yet? I recently saw a
Blu-ray writer drive for around £60.
If this is for a slide-show that you are going to be controlling then
you might want to consider creating a 1080 movie, preferably 1080p not
1080i (i means interlaced, and AFAIK there are about zero HD TVs where
this is needed), and then putting it on to a Raspberry Pi. This has an
HDMI output for HD TVs and a composite video output for SD TVs.
It seems common for TVs to have ethernet ports and USB, I wonder if SD
cards or USB sticks can be used on most TVs these days?
OK a little more info, I need to make one movie that can be put on a DVD
that can be played on a DVD player\TV and viewed on a PC, just a simple
single file that will play when inserted into a dvd player. The DVD will
also hold several files that can only be viewed on a PC (mainly pdf's
and all the image files). I have to make another video similar to the
one I will be putting on the DVD but with a few pictures missing due to
copyright (I can let one person have them but I am not permitted to
release these pictures to the public) and this video will be made
available to be downloaded. Allowing 8 seconds per picture I have around
32 minutes of video but I may extend this to 10 seconds plus a few title
pages and transitions so could be 45\50 minutes of video is quite possible.
Any input to help me accomplish this that you guys have, would be
gratefully appreciated
Tim.
