Viewing MPEG Video
The HD1000 has the capability of playing ATSC-compliant MPEG2
transport streams. This is the type of signal typically broadcast over
the air by a local digital television station. These streams may be
either standard- or high-definition, and may include multichannel
audio (Dolby Digital 5.1).
There are a number of PC-based products (tuner cards) that allow
the recording of digital broadcast television to a computer hard
disk as a transport stream.
There are also some PC utilities for converting video files of other
types into a transport stream that may be compatible with the
HD1000, although we have not had the opportunity to test these
conversion utilities.
The HD1000 treats MPEG2 video clips in your media folders as
images. If you play a slideshow that contains a supported video clip,
the clip will play with the same timing as the rest of your images
in the slideshow. For example, if your delay time is 5 seconds, and
your clip is 10 seconds long, only the first 5 seconds will play, and
then the slideshow will advance to the next image or video clip.
(If your clip is shorter than the selected delay time, it will play the
clip all the way through and continue playing the beginning again
until the delay time has been reached.) If you would like to play a
video clip all the way through, navigate to the clip using the Browse
button, highlight the clip, and press Select on your remote. The clip
will play all the way through, then loop to play from the beginning
again. This continuous play will continue until you press Pause or
Exit on the remote.
Playing MPEG2 Video Clips Using Roku's StreamPlayer Utility
Roku's StreamPlayer utility, available as a free download from
Roku's website, allows playback of ATSC MPEG2 transport stream
files, including seamless sequential playback of multifile recording.
