Hauppauge PVR recognizes component input source from blu ray as 720x480

I would think this is some type of down res coming out of the Blu-ray, except that the pass through out of the PVR into my HD TV is definitely in HD format. So why would the signal be in HD but the PVR only pick it up as a non-hd source? This might not be so bad except that it is putting a black frame around the picture seemingly to fill in around an HD frame that has only a non hd picture in it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Blu-Ray player is presenting some sort of DRM to the PVR. Or, the PVR is set to SD capture.

What happens if you play a home made DVD or a home made Blu-Ray (no DRM triggers)?

Some Blu-Ray players limit resolution over component analog when an HDMI monitor is also connected.

There is an outside chance you really are seeing sd on the bluray. I know a lot of documentary bonus material is only sd on bluray discs - especially if its sourced from old material that they haven't bothered to remaster.

However if this is the movie-proper than it is likely what eddv has mentioned.

Can you post a sample cap? The HD PVR can only capture at the source format. If it's getting 720x480 that's what the Blu-ray player is putting out. Blu-ray players are required to downres analog outputs now -- to prevent exactly what you are trying to do.
