Playing 1080 content on Home Theater

Sounds like a codec issue to me. Remove all codecs and download and install Shark007 codec pack. It's brilliant. Plays everything flawlessly.

I didnt ever use any codecs, i find VLC plays most things i need absolutely fine.

I downloaded Shark and a friend advised that i also downloaded Spidiffer. When i did this though and set the the sound output to spidif the sound stutters badly, i mean really bad! you cant even hear a word, sounds like a stuck record! my friend who uses this method was confused.

In my tool tray the setting is on spdiff and it works fine for music etc but when ever i set it to A/52 (or s2) over spdif it just craps out!

Yes there is. 1920x1080 isn't closest, it's exactly right.

Well, no its not.

If you want to be picky.....1080p just means 1080 horizontal lines. 1920 is only implied in a 16:9 ratio 1080p display mode.

I think you are splitting hairs. No one is going to produce 1080p 4:3 footage, it just isn't going to happen. So by saying "1080p" everyone really means "1920x1080 progressive frames".

Boy am I glad we don't need to worry about non-square pixels when deal;ing with HD now.
