Is there some way to put a short wedding demo on a regular DVD in Windows
Media 9 in Hi Def, and play it out to a monitor?

Absolutely! If you have a reasonable laptop, you can play the very same
file which is output to tape (a .m2t file) directly from your hard disk.
This merely requires a software player, of which there are several
(including VLC freeware), a relatively recent laptop with video output
supported at 1920 by 1080, a monitor or HDTV, and a cable. If you want to
use a DVD rather than play from the hard disk, you could directly write
the.m2t file to a DVD, allowing about 45 minutes of recording time for HDV
25 MBit/sec content on a dual layer blank, or 23 minutes to a single
layer. If you wanted full menus and DVD navigation, it gets slightly
trickier, but it also can be done, but we can get into that if you would
like. The DVD with or without menus can be played on the laptop or
specifically authored for use with the right type of HD player.

Thanks. I will be possibly invited to shoot a nice wedding ceremony at
Cypress Gardens on the 31st of this month, then the bridal show is Sep 26. I
know I can show my result with the camera, but it would be so much better to
be able to do it on laptop. Would the software to play m2t files be WM-9? I
believe I can output that with the VGA connector, because I have shown 1920
x 1080 still photos on my projector with that cable. So that would be neat -
just slap the m2t file onto my laptop and play it thru the VGA cable to my
26" monitor. But that leaves the sound question...
