Prices for each package offer a choice between Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) transfers. HD-transferred videos give better fidelity to your original films, and can be played on SD and HDTV monitors. Output to Blu-ray (BD-Video) disc is not required for HDTV; however, BD-Video will give you better picture quality on an HDTV monitor.
