I have a .ts video file which has 1440x1080i, MPEG-4 AVC,
Dolby Digital 5.1, etc.

Is there 1440x1080i DVD format? Or what's the best way
to convert it into DVD format not losing much of its quality?
Or can any stand-alone DVD player play 1400x1080i .ts file?

Thanks in advance

That's a high-definition resolution (even though not a very standar d one) - should be 1920x1080i.

It won't play on a "regular" dvd player, but there are several standalone HighDef players that can read .ts files.

Can I convert the .ts files into .avi not losing much of its audio and video quality?
(The .ts file can only be played by PowerDVD at the moment.)

Thanks

Well, you can't keep everything. That's for sure. The best you can hope for is DVD resolution which is 720x480 in NTSC land and 720x576 in PAL land.

If you use a good scaler like Spline36Resize or LanczosResize, you should be able to maintain a lot of detail, but 1080 lines vs 480 lines is a big difference :)

You can probably de-block a bit (guessing its a bitrate starved MPEG-2 TS with blocking), maybe de-noise and sharpen with fft3dfilter/fft3dgpu, and then encode to MPEG-2 with HC or something like that. I have heard that 1080i TS sources look great when properly scaled to SD.

Don't forget to perform IVTC if it's a movie, or to deinterlace if you're going to watch on a progressive display.

1440x1080i, MPEG-4 AVC

Sounds like AVCHD with PAFF. Good luck. Possible, not very fast to do.

BBC-HD is 1440x1088 (H.264 MBAFF) with AR 16:9

So its 1080i or 1080p (1080MBAFF)

As to make any HD source to DVD, you will have to encode it to mpeg2 that fits the DVD standards!

Yes. That's BBC-HD. Planet Earth. more than 8G size.
PowerDVD shows MPEG4-AVC and Dolby Digital 5.1.

Is the .ts file playable in HD TV?
In order to play it, what should I do?

Thanks

1. Buy computer.
2. install VLC.
3. hook computer up to TV.
4. play .ts file.

Check out Elecard ConverterStudio – it can do the job.

If you need just to encode into MPEG-2 (DVD or HDV) then use a special edition: Elecard ConverterStudio AVCHD Edition (http://www.elecard.com/products/product.php?product_id=converter-studio-avchd).

Later today this edition will be available for on-line purchase ($75) and 21day evaluation version will be uploaded.

how the hell did you get a hold of a .ts file? don't only tv broadcasters have those types of files?


anyways, do what legoman666 said.

Ouch. What AVC decoders can handle MBAFF interlacing properly?

You're going to have to decode it somehow, resize and then re-encode into MPEG-2.

It should all be possible with AviSynth and HC.

libavcodec does MBAFF just fine. Maybe you are thinking of PAFF?

If it is indeed MBAFF, then DGAVCDec should allow you to serve it via Avisynth. If there is a problem with that, please let me know about it. Of course, you'll have to demux the stream first with h264tsto.exe (or equivalent).

1920x1080 is 16:9(Widescreen) while 1440x1080 is 4:3(Fullscreen)

1440x1080 is commonly used with HDV and represents 16x9 anamorphic widescreen!
I've also seen anamorphic 16x9 sources with 1280x1080 pixels

I know, I know, I should use search, but went to www.neuron2.net but couldn't readily locate DGAVCDec. Did a site search with no result ... back search here :)

edit: found DGAVCDec in the forum at http://neuron2.net/board/viewforum.php?f=10 and h264tsto at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117806&highlight=h264tsto Thanks for these goodies !
