The script was setup to take *EVERYTHING* down to 720x480 or 640x480 for
playback on a device that only supports that resolution.  There is no
setup for figuring out the max supported resolution of a device.

You would need to look through the script and replace everything using
either 720 and/or 640 and 480 with the proper limits for 720p.

There is an if loop that detects 1080i stuff, you may want to just
adjust that part, and actually remove all of the if's for the non-1080i stuff
or replace the "then" part with just a "exit 0" which means to do nothing in 
those cases.   And there is some code at the end of the file that actually
does the conversion you won't want to delete that part of the code.
