Technically the physical DVD format supports 1080p content.
e.g. Terminator 2 was released on “Extreme DVD” in 2003 in 1080p. However AFAIK they’re bricks now as the licensing server for the required DRM has been taken offline.

- account42 4y agoI kinda wish all DVDs and Blu-Rays were just data discs with a file on them - would make backing them up trivial. Also, weren't video DVDs and data DVDs the same format just with a special directory structure for videos? I expect the bigger problem is available storage space and codec support (H.264 is a lot better than MPEG-2).
