[mythtv-users] UK: Unplayable BBC HD 1920x1080 recording (be careful what you wish for)

[Paul Gardiner]

I recorded a bit of Wimbledon on BBC HD yesterday evening around
7:15, and my Zotac ION based FE couldn't play it back without
stuttering! ffmpeg said it was 1920x1080 rather than the 1440x1080
that we've been used to. I've had a few 1920x1080 recordings
before, and they've played back ok, but this one wouldn't - well,
not without setting it to "progessive" so that the deinterlacing
was turned off.

I just hope this isn't a sign of things to come. There we've
been asking the BBC to transmit 1920x1080, and actually we've
gone and shot ourselves in the foot, perhaps.

Cheers,
	Paul.
