DVD cannot hold true HD quality video (720p and up). It doesn’t have the capacity, and the DVD format itself isn’t capable of the higher resolutions. You have to go Blu Ray for that.

Not True, there is a format called "3x DVD" which was a subset of the HD-DVD standard that could support approximately 100 minutes of 1080P encoded with the VC1 codec.
Physically the "3x DVD" is a on ordinary DVD, I believe the Blu-ray equivalent is called BD9.
Sadly these HD formats which were to find there way into dvd recorders were much too practical and consumer friendly to be allowed to live by the entertainment industry. Can't let Jack and Diane permanently record 24 in HD now can we...
