[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 351031, member: 12496"] A Bluray player would be the exception, but are you aware that no matter what your file is, DVD players for TV are at best 720x480? Like old VGA video, not even 800x600. Like standard TV. Are your results worse than standard TV? I think it cannot be better from a DVD player. I think you'd do much better showing JPG files to a computer on a computer DVD drive (burnt as data, not as video). The easy way, if applicable: Some better HDTV models have a USB port on them, and can show JPG from a USB memory stick just fine, as HD. My Samsung and Sony HDTV do this great (for JPG, they don't show movie files). They have menus for a slide show, every X seconds, but the remote clicker allows more versatility. But if from a DVD player, anything would be seen as SD. FWIW, I wanted to show recorded 1920x1080 movies on HDTV, and don't have or want Bluray, so the only way I found to do HD was to use a Western Digital streaming player (WD TV Live Media Player Wi-Fi 1080p, $90). This streams movies from places like from Netflix, but it also shows media from a USB port (like a memory stick). I tried a Roku 3 first, which is actually better for streaming, but its USB video support is abysmal, cannot play most file types. WD appears to show any format of movie file fine. Both Roku and WD show USB JPG files well, as HD. And HDTV is at best 1920x1080, which we do call HD. [/QUOTE]
