1080i files?? .ts?

[fixxxer0]

I downloaded some film in 1080i format, do I need a special player to watch it on a regular dvd player/tv combo? (ie NTSC )

or do i have to somehow convert from 1080 to ntsc resolution?

its in parts of .ts files i dont know how to join them though

MediaPlayer Classic or VLC will play them. They are Mpeg2 transport streams.

yea i can get them to play individually in nero showtime, how would i get it to be one fluid movie though? i have 100 100mb files.

and theres no way to get them to play on a NTSC tv without re-enc right?

These are digital files, probably high definition, why would you want to reencode them to NTSC?

I suppose you could output them over an S-Video out if your videocard supports it.

HDTVtoMpeg2 will combine them all into one file, or you can use TheaterTek, which plays them all at once without pauses.

because i want to watch it on my plain jane NTSC tv with my plain jane DVD player.

and i doubt that will work unless they get reencoded, right?

1080i =1920x1080
ts = transport stream
ntsc is much much lower resolution, why would it be able to handle hdtv? dvd is 720x480i for instance.. and thats assuming u have animorphic wide screen tv, its even less with regular tvs. hd has 3-6x the resolution
cant playback hd video smoothly? hd strains systems, a lower end system will not cut it. ts is already easy as its only mpeg2. wmv/h264 is murder

my goal is to watch it on my TV which isnt HD or anything fancy.
