Where to get 1080p/24 files?

Halloway · 04-11-2009, 11:58 AM

Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with my blu-ray player and TV. What I want to do is to play some 1080p/24 material from a USB stick to see if the problem (which is evident when playing 1080p/24 BDs) persists.

Is this possible (I think I need MKV-format material) and if so where can I get such a file? I've seen some on (cough) download sites but I'd prefer something legitimate if possible. It would need to be at least 10 minutes long.

TIA,
H.

All free and all legal.

MKV format are hardly ever legal ..... Ive yet to see one anyway ... ! But you can always re-encode these if you want.

Quicktime 1080p HD trailers are 24hz and can be converted to AVCHD Blu Ray files using ripbot. The files can then burned in blu ray structure on a DVD.

MKV is just a container so it not necessary illegal. It is no different to having a WMV, FLV or a AVI file.

Or just take one of your BluRay discs and rip it?
