[ydl-gen] HD-DVD on YDL

[Marat Denenberg]

Sorry about that. I thought you meant one of the two Disney movies
with the same name. Either way though, the same principle applies. You
can't refer to it as an HD-DVD since the optical drive inside of the
PS3 isn't capable of reading that media format. It is a rival format
and it isn't possible. Just because the movie is in hi-def doesn't
make it an HD-DVD (there are a ton of other optical media that can
store hi-def content, including regular DVDs).

You probably have a home-made or small production DVD with a movie
encoded in WMV in 720p. You should be able to recreate your activity
on any computer with any operating system.
