1920x1080 h264 is really demanding, and I'm pretty sure you wont see much difference between 720x576 video and 1920x1080. Lots of people encode video at 360x288 and it looks fine. The reason is that out eyes play tricks on us and we simply don't see fine detail. In other words don't bother with HD it's a bit of a con.
