If I want to deliver HD video to people with HDTV what are my options?
Will DVD with a progressive output deliver the same quality that I am seeing on my computer monitor ? ( I have no way to test this easily as I have no progressive scan monitor yet). Will it at least be better than a standard TV monitor?
I understand that I must use 480i for the DVD. But if the idea is to de-interlace by using the component outs from the player is there any advantage to editing at a higher resolution than 720/480 especially in terms of picture clarity and color accuracy? The results would have to be rendered to 480i so is there an equivalent to digital audio dithereing for video and would it even apply here?
And I suppose if I really want to present what I am seeing in its full glory on a HDTV, I would have to do so with a computer with the content being delivered as a file to be played as any file would be played on another computer. Are there consumer products that are in people's homes now (or soon) that will play the video as viewed by its maker? And how is the content being delivered to them.
The more general question here is about how to deliver high quality video art to people's HDTVs - something that can act like a high tech piece of art hanging on the wall (a huge screensaver? -- hopefully way more interesting - but we digress into aesthetics).
Anyone out there seen such systems?
I probably have not asked all the relevant questions so anything anyone has to add would be greatly appreciated
