Hi,
I have started to capture some movies on Sky Movies HD - I am wondering about the framerate and resolution.
Everyone is telling me they are broadcasting at 1080i - Why do my recordings show me 1920x1080 @ 25fps then?

I always thought 1080i should be 1920x540 @ 50fps...

So how should the workflow look like than? Initially I thought about deinterlacing the 50fps to 25fps and then going further... But don't quiet know what to do with the 1920x0180@25... Is it already deinterlaced? If so, why is that?!

Thanks!
Oli
