HD MPEG-2 Test Patterns from drmpeg

[stenews]

Hi drmpeg, :)
I read about your "HD MPEG-2 Test Patterns" and I visited your site.
I'm pretty new in those kind of things and I'd like to know more about the meaning of the .iso file one can download from there.
Could you please take a moment to me and explain that?

Thanks a lot,
Stefano.

P.S.
how do you get those beautiful high quality clips in ts format?
Do you recorded them from a dongle HDTV or something?

Sorry, I didn't get around to answering your question in the other thread.

The .iso file is a test disc that is (was) meant to be burned directly to a DVD-R for use on HD-DVD players. It was actually authored by someone else, and contains some of the patterns available as .ts files on the site. If you want to see what it looks like, you can use a program like MagicISO to convert the .iso back to an MPEG-2 Program Stream.

The other content on the site is either from uncompressed source or synthetically generated. I'm a professional in the video compression business, and all the .ts files were encoded with a real-time MPEG-2 HD encoder that I helped develop.
