High definition content recorded through the ATSC digital TV tuner card tends to be encoded in display resolutions much higher than DVD-Video.

When burning high definition content to DVD-Video, the resulting disc is no longer considered to be high definition. Remember, DVD-Video is not, and never was, considered high definition.

If the high definition content was originally encoded with a 16:9 ratio, Media Center will retain that ratio so that the resulting display continues to look correct on widescreen television sets.
