I tend to prefer just burning the file on a regular dvd-r and forgetting about it, instead of going through hours of steps, just for a minimal difference on an already compromised source.
You don't have to use a dual lyaer disc, thats only if you want maximum quality. Obviously you can encode to DVD-5 if you choose.

Again, what a huge effort for one disc. This thread is simply about the visual bump between an HD-DVD player on SD material, not the fact that Oppo (who have phenomenal customer service) can't do HD, which has limited software choices anyway. Do any HD-DVD players have USB in, like the new Oppo does?
It is mandatory in the HD DVD spec for HD DVD players to have 2 USB ports, as all current HD DVD players do.
