Allowed combination of primary video formats and secondary video formats

The Blu-ray Disc specification allows HD or SD secondary video streams, but most Blu-ray Disc players

cannot play back a secondary video stream that contains HD content. Therefore, we recommend that you

use only SD video in your secondary video streams.
