Success playing HD MPEG-2 (19.2 mbs encoded HD video .mts)

[vonross]

Had an unexpected success playing High Definition encoded 19.2 Mbs Mpeg transport files on OSX using the VLC player. A question, why does it work when there are virtually no other players except Heuris and KDDI for this kind of file? Both are rather expensive about $3000US and neither is as good.

Also is there a way to get the VLC to output over IE1394 to a firewire D-VHS deck or to an HD plasma Screen with firewire input?

cheers,

This is because someone (walken, the libmpeg2 author) is seriously smart

My congrats to Walken. For thinking ahead. This some of the nicest playback software I've seen.
