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.
