I'm very much the amateur here with only the sketchiest understanding of the technicalities so please be patient.
I've been enjoying the documentary series, "The Vietnam War" on BBC4 and recording it on the Hummy but for some reason Episode 10 didn't record so I thought I'd watch it on the i-Player and then save it. I checked the i-Player was set to HD and after watching I saved it using the "Save last streamed programme" feature.
Now I'm puzzled, because the object of all this is to burn the series onto a couple of Bluray discs for future watching. My PC software tells me that all the episodes saved as "ts" files have 1080 lines but the mp4 file is only 576.
Is this a limitation of the mp4 format, can I get around this or have I missed something?
Any advice is gratefully received - thanks.
