Hd Dvd

Rented 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' and the back said 'mastered in High Definition'. Do you hafta have one of them fancy shiny new HD DVD players to enjoy that?

It may have been mastered in HD but was down converted to 480p for DVD sales......You can only fix 22 minutes of HD on a current DVD.

Well....technically yea but....Terminator 2 Extreme has a HD version on a regular old DVD utalizing Windows MPEG 4 compression. You do need some serious processing power though to see it. A Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz with a 128 Mb video card minimum.
I heard it looks great though. I wouldn't know seeing as I only have a Celery 2.0 Ghz......

I have that, I just don't have the DVD player for the 'puter lol!

This may have meant how the original edit was mastered.
This movie was not shot on film, it was shot on 24p HD and edited on an
Avid DS/HD.

So they might be refering to the technology used to master the edit, rather than the technology used to master the DVD.

Just another possibility!
