ultrabrutal Wrote:X >= 1280 = HDAn automated resolution scan and "HD" flag sounds like a good idea.
Y >=720 = HD
Though I think it could be even better if the flag used a "HD" and "FullHD" logo, and scan:
X > = 1280 = FullHD
Y > =720 = HD
or a "720p" and "1080p" logo but then that would not always be 100% correct if:
X > = 1280 = use the "1080p" logo flag.
Y > =720 = use the "720p" logo flag.
With a visual indication next to the video tumbnail similar to watched and unwatched (or the "HD" logo in the latest Apple Movie Trailers python plugin for XBMC). The horisontal resolution scan would be done at the same time as the automated thumbnail creator in the XBMC Linux port branch, ...of course a new SQL database entry would be needed so users can sort by "720p", "1080p", "All HD Videos", or "All Non-HD Videos" (could also be called "All SD Videos", SD for Standard Definition).

HRHD (High-Resolution High-Definition) (a.k.a. HR, HRHDTV, or HR.HDTV) is much better suited for the first-generation Xbox CPU, that is video ripped directly from a HDTV broadcast then downsampled to approximately 960x540 and encoded in Xvidr or DivX (EI. a H.263 derivitive, not a H.264 format):
