What video source do you want to record from?

1080p can be transferred via HDMI. When you use component video, you can get 720p or 1080i video. So if your source video is 1080p, you will get a lower resolution.
Analog video coming from component video input is not protected by HDCP. You can compress it using any video codec (including an MPEG codec). The quality loss depends on a codec and its settings a lot.

Many different solutions can be used. It depends on your preferences as well as devices that you have.
My HDTV is DLNA compatible. I just connect it via ethernet to my PC, run a DLNA server software on my PC and stream video from my PC to my TV. Sometimes I also copy video files to my flash drive and insert it into my HDTV, then just play videos.
You may also use a
network media player for streaming video to your HDTV. Or you can connect your PC to your HDTV via HDMI.
