The US has no compulsory ID. Parents are not even required to register births; medical professionals are, though, and a lot of things become challenging without a birth certificate, so I imagine the vast majority of births are registered. I

Draft registration is compulsory based on residency; registering someone in error has no consequences unless there is a draft, which seems unlikely (no draft since Vietnam, large differences in how the US carries out war since then). In the

The problem isn't really resolution, it's bitrate, codec, and effectiveness of the encoder. A sibling says dvds are trash bitrate and an old codec, and it's hard to argue with that... but some DVDs are better than others and
