Waste, of course. If you want to watch the video shot by HD DV machine, you can only watch it with HD player in the computer, or play it with HD DV machine and watch it on HD LCD TV through HD wiring. Neither of these methods is practical for you. Since there is no high-definition DVD burner and the player is expensive, it can only be burned into ordinary DVD, so it is really a waste to buy a high-definition DV player at present. If you buy a high-definition DV player in one step and then have a high-definition burner to burn it into a high-definition DVD, that's fine, but if you use it for wedding videos and simple small advertisements, the utilization rate will be very high and it will be very uneconomical.
