If someone were to edit video from an HD video camera in
ilife 06 or better and burn to a DVD, will it play in HD
in your dvd player?

Do you need HD burners?
Do you need HD players
Can a blueray player play standard HD?

Thanks
Lyndon

Yes there are none for the mac no software to burn a disk...

Yes

Yes and some have excellent upscaling...

There is native support for HD in Macs....

You can however capture and create HD content in Final Cut Pro (very
expensive software and a huge learning curve) and "fudge" an HD DVD on
a standard DVD using Toast with the correct plug in and play it back in
a Blueray Player...

There are other alternatives such as the WD HD player....

Hope this helps

Of course a PC will do everything, I use Macs....

I'd be interested in seeing some data on this "fudge."

One can edit HD material and burn it letterbox to standard DVD.

The HD standard is still "supported" in DVD Studio Pro, though. Here's
some Ken Stone wisdom (it's not actually him, but) that walks you
through a fairly expensive professional Blu-ray setup:
