Steve Justice Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Most HDTV's come with a monitor socket anyway. I've had my PC hooked upto my TV for the last 2 years this way. Also, if you have an Xbox, you can get that to play things off your PC and through your TV. That's how I watch the HD films I've downloaded (in WMV format).

Paid Members Ronnie Posted September 8, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just a shame that the HDTV is mounted in the gym rather than the living room Where you never see it? Â HIYOOOOOOOOO!!! Heh. Unfortunately, you're quite correct. Â So your joke is not really a joke anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get these? I only ever see HD-quality stuff in these useless x264 things that the PS3 and Xbox don't recognise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted September 8, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted September 8, 2010 It's fairly easy to get HD content to play on the PS3 (and XBOX I'd suggest) - they're usually x264 MKV files that your console won't recognise. But put them into TSMUXER and out pops a .M2TS file in minutes that can be played on your console. I have a web folder on my mac and PC that I can put HD files into and download to the PS3 via http and run them from there. Piece of piss once it's setup and my wife can even work it. Â HDMI cables are all the same quality, so the gold plated ones make no difference at all. So this one at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get these? I only ever see HD-quality stuff in these useless x264 things that the PS3 and Xbox don't recognise. Â I use newsgroups (nzb's) to download all my stuff. nzbmatrix.com is where I go for my WMV-HD's. Â That method from SiMania looks like it could be very beneficial to me too. Most HD rips I see are in MKV format and my PC just isn't good enough to play them through VLC player (it stutters). I'll have to give that a go later. Â I have to say that alot of Blu-Ray rips into AVI format look pretty good these days too (if the file size is 1.5GB or more anyway). And certainly saves a lot of hard drive space. Most WMV-HD's are around 9GB so I only download films that a worth watching in HD. Mainly action films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing_Red_Fan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Aside from DVDs and stuff my latest cheap purchase was a large talking Donatello (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) I got from Cash Converters for 2 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
