AVI file won't play via stand alone DVD player

[3lutz3toe]

I have an AVI file w/ resolution (724x432). It won't play on my DVD saying that resolution is not supported. I have a 720p Plasma TV. It won't play because my TV is it because it is only 720p and not 1080p? Or the max for any file is 720?
Thanks.

Very few DVD players will accept divx or xvid at greater than 720x576 resolution. "AVI" is non-descriptive. It is a wrapper like MKV. The codec inside is what counts. Most DVD players only accept MPeg2 in standard VOBs. Some accept divx/xvid in an avi wrapper. A few accept wmv. None that I know of accept Quicktime (any codec).

All standard DVD players limit import to 720x480 or 720x576 maximum. Some will upscale to 720p, 1080i or 1080p on output.

resolution 724x432 [...] It won't play because my TV is it because it is only 720p and not 1080p?

just fopr info:
720p = height 720pixels, width 1280px
1080p = height 1080px, width 1440 or 1920 (or others width)
common DVD NTSC = height 480, width 720
common DVD PAL = height 576, width 720

The important part of any standards is the height
and your file is far away from 720p
