Regarding the resolution: you're wrong about that. One of thousands of articles on the web (this one from Wikipedia): "All HD-DVD movies are encoded in 1080p, with most supplements in 480i or 480p." BluRay is going to be similar.
Some older high def DVD players only support up to 1080i (like mine - but my 3 year old Samsung DLP HDTV is only 720p/1080i, so it didn't matter to me), and some support up to 1080p. As long as you use HDMI for the connection, and 1080i or 1080p is supported on both ends of that (the player and the TV), you will see that signal/resolution.
It is not 480i or 480p upconverted!
