Video shot by my camcorder in 1080p, about 22.2 mbps bit rate, audio 256kbps 48.0 AC3.
I process it in a video editing software, add transitions, etc.
Questions for output--of course, to make a blu-ray disc, I would keep the resolution at 1080p.
Some questions re playback on my laptop though, a fairly powerful one (Core i7), 16GB RAM, SSD, 12" screen.
The laptop's screen resolution (IPS) is 1366x768. Of course that cannot really show 1080p video, correct, not enough pixels on the screen. Will it look just as good on the laptop if I create a video file for the laptop at 720p? Or should the 1080p version still look better, although the laptop does not really show that resolution?
What about output from laptop though? This laptop has both a VGA port and mini-display port. If I play the 1080p output from the laptop, connected to a HDTV with a mini-display port to HDMI adapter (and HDMI cable), will that send a 1080p signal to the TV, even though the laptop cannot display that resolution? Should that look as good as a blu-ray disc played on the TV?
Also, what about if the laptop is connected to a projector via the VGA port? Will that VGA port send the 1080p signal to the projector? (Although, I don't think there are many projectors these days that can really show 1080p?)
Different question, as I also have an Ipad 2 and Ipad Mini. I forget the resolutions on them, but I think nowhere near 1080p. If I were to put video on them originally 1080p, best to downsize to 720p first? Or will still somehow the higher res video look better, even though the device really cannot show that resolution, but downsizes it itself? And what about video out from an Ipad 2 or Ipad Mini? Will those output 1080p, even if they cannot display it?
Thanks in advance for your input.
