Can't get my movies to play in 1080i

If you got a blueray player (the hardware) it should have come with a disk with software. If you got the OEM version without, you need to buy your own software. PowerDVD should work. If you are somehow looking to download something to play bluray disks on a PC without an actual bluray player, you need to buy the drive.

Hello,

The Iomega 1TB ScreenPlay MX HD can play these formats in upto 1080i:

Audio:
MP3
AC3 (Dolby Digital Encoding)
WAV
WMA

Video:
MPEG-1
MPEG-2 (AVI/VOB)
MPEG-4 (AVI/DivX 3.11, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x/XViD)

Regards,
Chris

Your DVR can't detect whether your TV can do HD or not. If the message is stating that your receiver (which is your DVR) can't receive 1080P, then you'll need to contact DirecTV for assistance. You may need to replace your DVR.

Unfortunately it is not compatible with 1080p, which tells you it can support blue ray. The highest compatible mode for your unit is 1080i. What this means is if you were to play a blue ray movie it will show it in 1080i resolution.

i hope this might help

its got a list of most of the games out its just the case of finding then just search for the game and then itll tell you if the game is able to run in 1080i or you could just have a look a t the back of the case and it might be able to tell you there

Are you sure the tv is 1080p capable? Usually when "mode is not supported" is displayed, it means that the tv can not handle the signal format that is being input to it. If you are using HDMI, then signal formatting is usually handled automatically. If you are using component video, you will probably have to tell the PS3 to step down the signal to either 1080i or 720p.

there must be a HDMI option in the picture settings on the tv and select 1080i or 1080p in the ps3 video output settings

if the game doesn't support 1080i , then you could only get 480p.
did you try cod4 ?

To adjust screen size, choose the View Mode feature on the top right of the remote control. Zoom size is full screen for watching DVD movies, but sometimes there is still a thin black band due to the formatting of the dvd (unless you buy full screen versions) S. Stretch view mode is best for TV Movies.(usually fills whole screen) Occasionally there are TV movies which just don't respond to being stretched to fill the screen, it's just the way the signal is coming through . 1080i/p detects the resolution of the signal and displays the same number of pixels on the screen, but a 720p signal input will be viewed in full screen.

On some LCD TV there is a filter for image correction, look in the TV menu and try to turn off this filter if available, also there might be a setting for full screen (stretch) and so on, play around with that.

hope this helps
