suggestions for 720p video input source on component video

================================================================

Encodedecode demo started.                                                     
Error: Failed to create capture device, 720P component input connected?     

==========================================================

It seems to not even detect an input. I have connected a dvd player playing some stuff. I thought it should detect it and then complain if it is not a 720p with

Need 720P input to this demo.

For some reason the toshiba xd-e500 upconverting video player I have (supposed to give 720p, 1080i,p etc) does not output 720p on the component video (YPbPr). As a result encodedecode demo on dm6467 (1.4 dvsdk) does not work.

I am wondering if this is a quirk of my dvd player or in general dvd players will not output 720p on component (my dvd player says I have to out put via HDMI in order to get 720p)

what sort of dvd players will do output 720p on YPbPr so that I can input it to dvm.

Is there any work around in the demo for this ?

thanks in advance

    I don't think most DVD players will output upscaled video over component connections due to copy protection restrictions, and since HDMI has HDCP encryption they allow upscaled output, which does not make much sense to me since a modern digital TV will have to upscale to its panel size anyway, though that is getting a bit off topic. In any case this is probably not something specific to your DVD player, but rather DVD players in general.

    Generally the sources I have used have been HDDVD, Blu-Ray, or modern video game consoles, these days the most practical is probably a stand alone Blu-Ray player, but if you happen to have an Xbox360 or PS3 around those will work fine too.

    Out of the box there is not, I believe you would have to modify the source of the encode/decode demo to allow SDTV input on the DM6467.

    Appreciate your quick response Bernie. I just set up the demo with a blue ray player and a blue-ray disc and it works.
