After I learned how to record OTA HDTV program in the hard drive, I wanted to burn the mpeg ts on DVD-R and play it on the dvd player.


I know that Momitsu V880 updates its firmware pretty often, so I email their customer service and requested for technical support.


How many people will be interested to burn recorded HDTV program on DVD-R and replay it on DVD player?

I have the Fusion 2 HDTV card and it comes with a converter that converts the HD TS into a DVD resolution mpeg file so you can burn it to DVD and play on DVD player, but there are no DVD players that play actual HD Transport Streams.

I think they will be called HD-DVD players.

With proper firmware update, I believe Momitsu V880 can play MPEG TS files.

The key is to play 1920*1080 file and not down grade the film to 720*480.


for example, I recorded "Swordfish" from OTA receiver in 1080i, the total file size is 11.2GB. If I break the files into two 8.5 GB DVD DL, I can play HD film through my current dvd player.


some documentaries are 30 minutes long and I can burn those in one DVD-R.

Of course I can use HTPC to do the job, but I want the ability to exchange movies with others without recording all the movies in my hard drive.



This is just like mini DVD, using CD-R to record MPEG2.

I am using DVD to record HD-DVD content.
