I sometimes find Divx files available at 720p resolutions - will these look better on my HDTV, or is the DVD output limited to the 480p resolution of standard DVDs? Is it worth downloading the bigger 720p avi files?I am using component cables - the picture quality is excellent, though its not easily possible to do a side by side comparison with a lower quality AVI file of the same movie. I wonder if 1080 Blu-Rays converted to AVI will playback similarly - effectively turning a $40 Divx player into the output equivallent of a Blu-Ray machine? It seems too good to be true.</blockquote>
