This is maybe not directly Cinelerra related, but yet:
A 50GB Blu-ray disk has room for over 9 hours of high-definition (HD)
video and about 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video.

Blu-ray players also is said to be capable to scale up SD Video to
1080i/p on a full HDTV (though the lossy MEPG2 copression may also
uncover even more visible artifacts when objects or camcorder are moving)

I guess that "SD Video" format here is the same as "DVD Video" at high
MPEG2 compression about 1:20 and 1-8 Mbps data rate.
My raw video footage is SD DV (DV25) at compression 1:5, which isn't a
supported codec on Blu-ray Video as far as I know.
However, with so much storage capacity available on BD-R disks, I wonder
what is really the "highest quality SD Video format" one can create,
burn to and playback on BD-R disks? That is, the lowest possible (MPEG2)
compression and highest data rate?
At last, will connections using phono, S-Video, RGB composit or HDMI
between BD-player and HDTV make any quality difference for this SD Video
playback?
