Toshiba SD-4980 Upconverting Question

[chad5871]

Hello all! I thought I would be smart and figure out how to get HDDVD without having to buy a new DVD player. In my mind, I figured that if one could find an HD Divx file, then all you would have to do is burn that file onto a DVD (as a data disc, not as a DVD-video), slip it into the DivX upconverting DVD player (with 1080i output via HDMI), and watch true HD stream across your television. However, whenever I try to play the file on the DVD player, it simply says "Cannot play this file." No reason or anything. I am wondering if it has to do with the high resolution, but I am not exactly sure because I am no expert at this. Other DivX files (standard definition) that I have burned have worked on the player - why won't the HD one work?

Here is the information for the file in GSpot:

Is it possible that it won't play because it is a progressive image? Can anyone try to help me? Thanks in advance...

It won't play because none of the current divx players support HD files.

Some very few players supports hddivx, https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers?DVDname=&Search=Search&dvdportable=&dvdchanger=&dv...Submit2=Search

But I would instead make a htpc...
