keep 720px 1280

[wthldh]

I would like to know if it is possible to use mkv 720px1280 files put them on a dvd that will play in a stand alone player and still keep the 780px1280 resolution. I have been using the film machine with cinemacraft encoder and copy x to dvd. they both change resolution to 720x480

DVD is https://www.videohelp.com/dvd

1280x720p is not compatible with DVD players.

Consider a Blu-Ray player or a media player.

So do you want it to play on a DVD player or a Blu-Ray player?

A media player is a device that plays files from hard disk or flash media or from a network connection.

720x480 max. Some specific lower resolutions are allowed.

It must be MPeg2. Bit rate must be controlled to less than ~9.8 Mb?s

Some players support divx/xvid at similar resolutions but this varies by player (not a DVD).

If your Bluray player is capable of playing AVCHD on DVD, then you can use Multi-AVCHD or AVCHDCoder to create AVCHD structures that you can burn to DVD with Imgburn. These will keep the 720p resolution and play back on PS3s and many Bluray players.
