Can I burn a 720p episode to a normal 4.7gb dvd disc and play on my DVD player with a HD TV?

Thats the question :-)

Answer
no, normal DVD don't support 1080*720(720p) videos, DVD only support 720*480(ntsc) or 720*576(pal), if you want to keep HD video quality, you should burn to blu-ray dvd disc. But it is expensive, if you only have normal DVD writer, you can try RZ DVD Creator, i have used it, it can create standard video DVD from any videos, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL, DVD+DL, etc), such as avi to DVD, etc.

Work well on my computer, offer the good quality, easy to use, i like it. following is a step by step guide:

Hope it can help you.

Will a Blu Ray dvd player do the same as that or will it be better?

Answer
A regular upconverting dvd player takes the 480 resolution of a regular dvd and does a fill in the blanks thing and feeds it to your tv at 720p. So it's clearer than non upconverted, but not HD as it's still 480.

A blu ray player takes the blu ray disk which is recorded at 1080p resolution and feeds it to your tv at 1080, but your tv takes the 1080p and downconverts it to the 720p resolution of your tv as HD tvs can display only at their native resolution.

So blu ray will look better at downconverted 1080p than a normal dvd upconverted for 480, but not as good as viewing on a 1080p tv.
