Can't play .ts HD files I recorded off TV

Pappy o' daniel

THis is strange, I can play back SD TV programs on my computer with media player classic, But I cant playback HD Tv programs. I record onto a usb stick, and I can playback HD fine through my PVR, but not on my computer I have tried other media players to no avail.

try using VLC media player

I have yet to come across a video format that this fails to play.

Yes, VLC would be the one I would have most faith in. However you might also consider converting the file to another format....There is a brilliant piece of soft ware I use called 'Any Video Converter'. It allows you to convert between different formats. Im not sure if it caters for.ts files but its certainly a piece of software worth acquiring.

I tried it, only plays audio no picture.
