Though upconverting players are able to output 1080p resolution, they are not able to decode this; they decode at 480, then upconvert the information by breaking up the pixelation and smoothing out edges. A BD Player, on the other hand, is able to decode at a higher resolution, letting you keep the HD quality from the transfer.

Again, this is how I've always understood DVD Player compatibility, so please don't throw objects that are too heavy if I am totally wrong.

Here's a screen shot of the contents of the BDMV subdirectory on the Blu-Ray DVD that Vegas 8.0 built. Is this the correct format for a Blu-Ray disk and not just a data disk?
