But i guess that won’t stop all these morons asking more and more stupid questions instead of using Google and there brain (or at least what’s left of it) …

If you can play a downloaded file on your DVD player DEPENDS ON YOUR PLAYER, NOT on the rip SOURCE. You DO NOT NEED A HD PLAYER TO PLAY THESE RIPS. FULL STOP.

Most of the DVD players out there can handle all the common containers like mpeg, avi, e.g. as well as the common codecs (XviD, DivX, e.g.).

So, if you download a DVD Rip of a movie as an avi, you will be able to burn it onto a DVD and your player will play it. If you download the same movie in another format, such as mkv (Matroska), you will still be able to burn it onto a DVD as long as it fits there, but YOUR PLAYER WILL NOT PLAY IT BACK, since most of the currently available players DO NOT SUPPORT .mkv YET! You’ll have to convert the downloaded file to a format your DVD/HD DVD/BD player can read (e.g. avi).

Why .mkv then? The container is more effective, allows better compression with less visible drawbacks, thus the picture quality is an overall improvement to avi.

So what is the bottom line?

LOOK AT THE FILE EXTENSION, NOT AT THE SOURCE: As long as you have the right codecs installed, your computer will play back anything you’ve downloaded. The combined community codec pack (CCCP) for instance will allow you to watch anything as long as your PC is fast enough. I have an Athlon XP 2500+ with 1 Gig RAM. It plays 720p rips well enough, but jerks with 1080p rips.

LOOK AT THE FILE EXTENSION, NOT AT THE SOURCE: If your DVD player can handle .mkv format, you will be fine. Most of the currently available players (if not all) can not.

And last but not least, for all those who are incapable of reading or usually don’t like to read more the three letters in a row, there is the last quintessence of what I wrote:

THE SOURCE OF A RIP DOES NOT MATTER! IF THE PLAYER CAN HANDLE THE FILE EXTENSION, YOU CAN PLAY IT.

P.S.: Spread the word.

it might take a while, but they are quite reliable concerning links for such releases

Thought there is just the nuked REFiNED and the SiNNERS one??

thnx for links. Maybe you or someonelse can help?

I have had that rls for some time now but I don’t know how to play it….. it’s just under 40gb with BDMV and BDSVM folders which have various files inside. I gather its a Bluray disc but I dont have BD writer to write the files too disc or any idea how to paly it on pc.

Any suggestions and solutions will be much appreciatred

Basically, I would like to take the blue ray .mkv movies and convert them to hd dvd format, but maintain the 720p resolution and play them back on my hd dvd player. possible?

This is in Blue Ray format, but I have a HD DVD player. Is it possible to play burn this to a Dbl Layer DVD or a standard DVD and play it in HD on my HD DVD player? I mean could I convert it to a format that is playable in hd dvd players?

1080p
