OMX-Knuckles Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 VLC can play 720p videos and a Mac Pro is plenty fast enough- but torrenting an HD-DVD would be an epic achievement seeing as they can be 5 times are large as a standard DVD. Largest torrent I've ever seen done is around 15GB of anime by a buddy of mine. I'd imagine that a HD-DVD would be that size at the absolute minimum. You're talking at least a week of on and off downloading, and that's assuming the torrent has several consistant seeders.

sev7en Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Try using the subversion builds of VLC: they work with most advanced formats. You can get these (nighly) builds from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51315-how-do-i-watch-a-downloaded-hd-dvd-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-367844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossie Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 OMX-Knuckles im guessing you've never downloaded uncompressed 720p from HDbits Vlc is good for playing 720p, but on my iMac (c2d 20") 1080p has problems and I have to play them in windows. What format is the file? .ts .mkv?
