Sorry dude, it's even worse than you thought. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_telev isionWikipedia, two standards for HD are 720p/i (1280x720 px) and 1080p/i (1920x1080 px). The Blue-ray DVDs are specifically designed for 1080p video, so you're talking about a 300% frame size increase.

I work in computer graphics and true high definition scares the crap out of me and my current workstation.
