Hi I used to use Mpeg-2 but have been told the quality wouldn't be very good. I'd like to do a HD video on Cyberlink Power Director 13, but the dvd is for my parents, and i don't think they have a HD TV.

Advice needed please? All women can do great things.

In PD13, at the top of the PRODUCE page you will see CREATE DISK. If you click there it will do it all for you. If your parents have a DVD player, it will play it.

I agree with Paul. If you render your project first to h.264 the re-import to create your DVD results seem better - but I don't know why - may have something to do with 8 bit color??
I was very disappointed with my first DVD's quality from HD clips.
