I'm uploading a document I created to help our stake members with downloading online media for use in training and classroom instruction. I would appreciate any feedback from others who have provided similar documentation or others experience supporting members with this topic.

I think I'd add something to the last page to give some context for the different quality. Otherwise, people are likely to fall for the "bigger is better" and and create more hassle for themselves when it makes no difference.

360 is better then VHS (250 lines).
720 is higher then standard definition (DVD or Composite video) can support. (480 lines)
Only a a true high-def TV with the HMDI or component connection can make use of 1080. And only if the playback device can support that mode.

You might also want to mention what the highest resolution TV is that your stake currently has. I'm guessing that 1080 would be a wasted effort.
