The VideoLAN Forums

While my 1080p BD collection has grown large, I still have many movies and TV shows on DVD. I wondered how many of the DVDs might be 720p resolution, rather than the lower 480p.
How can I get VLC player to verify and display this for each DVD I insert?

Also, as 4K is now the broadcast standard, when will VLC player be able to player 1080p BDs as easily as it does DVDs, without having to download, install and configure those library folders?

I wondered how many of the DVDs might be 720p resolution, rather than the lower 480p.

None. Because the DVD Video specs are 720*576 max for PAL DVDs and 720*480 max for NTSC:
