best dvd players with hdmi image

William

I bought a new dvd player. I have a stereo connecting my tv and cable together which uses rca 3-way cables....need to add this new dvd player which has only hdmi connectors.

Answer
1. DVD player to HDMI-2 on the TV. (Leaving HDMI-1 for your cable or satellite receiver.)

2. Auxiliary audio output on the TV (if you have it: a pair of red/white RCA jacks labeled OUT) to an input on the stereo amplifier.

What is the maximum resolution and (file) formats supported by a dvd player with HDMI output?

If I buy a dvd player or recorder with HDMI output can it play files recorded in High Definition with .wmw or .mkv extensions or I must convert them to .avi (with Xvid or Divx encoder)?
Also I would like to know if files recorded in HD resolution (720 or 1080) can be played by a dvd player. Thanks.

Answer
Plain old DVD (the movie format - not the physical medium) is 480p. An upscaling DVD player using HDMI can stretch that to 1080p, but the picture quality won't be as good as a blu-ray disc, which is recorded in 1080p so no upscaling is required.

If your upscaling player supports other file formats, like Divx, they should definitely support 720p, but I don't know about 1080p. You'll have to check the manual for details on what formats and versions it supports specifically. In this case, the DVD is just a storage medium, so you could put 720p or 1080p video onto the DVD and have the player output it correctly - assuming it supports the file format you wrote the movie to DVD with. Again, check your manual.
