May 14th 2006 12:50AM Apples DVD Studio Pro does support creating HD DVD discs. DVDSP v4.0.2 was compliant with 0.9 HD Spec and v4.0.3 was updated to the 1.0 spec. The software only supports a subset of the full spec, eg. no iHD support, but can create compliant HD DVD discs on standard DVD R media.
Addex is correct the large displays use a dual-link DVI cable to carry the extra information. Dual-link can be supported on a HDMI type B connector.
