And if I wanted to make a video DVD of it how would I go about doing it? I'm not set up to do it at this time but by the end of the year I plan to have a Blu-Ray burner and player.
Get an HDTV TV (lcd is best) and plug that sapsucker into your pc....
That's the easiest way to view online HD content lol!!!
If you have an hdtv tv, fast pc, bluray player (they are not expensive now, really), you can easily watch these hd videos.... but the best/easy way to view online/downloaded content in hd is to have an hdtv monitor that can hook up with your pc.
I have a 32" hdtv w/ vga (had it for over 2 years now and still works great) and I can view everything I download in real HD..... IF it's actually real HD lol! Right now 32" lcd tv monitors are so cheap!! I've seen them around for about 600 bucks!!! You can't beat that price!
I'm viewing my screen up close so in HD it makes movies appear more like a 100" screen because of the closeness and resolution of it.
But... you decide what you want to get. Good luck and happy hunting.
That explains how to get new HD content not yet aired. I want to burn existing content I already have on this machine. Does the latest version of Premiere Pro, which I have not yet purchased since I don't yet need it, support this type of file format? The .TS/.TP extension of the HD files (I have both types sitting here) worries me. What codecs do they use? If I need to convert them to another format what would I use?
I have the HDTV already, and in my opinion LCD is definitely not best and never will be because of the dead pixel danger inherent to all LCDs...I got Plasma, but not all the channels I watch are HD yet. For some idiotic reason the Weekend Today show is not carried in HD out here but the weekday version is.
The main reason I'm putting off until the end of the year is I want to get a new system. My Core2Duo system is now almost two years old and I'll need something with more horsepower to crunch HD video in Premiere Pro.
