I'm assuming most or all HD-DVD players have both HDMI and component outputs, yes?
My understanding is that commercial DVDs get up-rezzed by such players, but only through the HDMI port. However non-commercial DVD material can legally be uprezzed to the component ports as well - my Linkplayer2 does this this by recognizing that the "commercial flag" is missing from my non-commercial footage. Do HD-DVD players make any similar distinction with DVD material?
Then similarly, with HDV footage on a red-lazer disk (as discussed elsewhere on this forum) - is the full HD signal from that sent to both the HDMI and the component outputs? And if so, is any distinction made between footage flagged commercial, versus not?
Thanks - I hope those two questions are vaguely understandable.
