I see on the Wiki that it still says that VC-1 and MPEG-2 don't support hardware decoding. My findings quite a while back were that HD MPEG-2 (e.g., HDTV cable recordings) was still quite good (even if it was the CPU that was doing all of the work) but VC-1 (HD Blu-ray rips) was unwatchable. Was anyone able to do any magic to improve upon this, or is this still pretty much in the same state that it was early on?
VC-1 is still unwatchable. I'm read elsewhere that VC-1 may actually work as long as it's in a .ts container and not .mkv. My first FireTV went to my brother, awaiting the arrival of my own one to test with, I've got a couple of bluray rips that are VC-1 mkv's that I've converted to .ts and going to test. My gut feeling is it won't work, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
How are you able to convert VC-1 .mkv to .ts?
