Sorry about going a little off-topic but I have never heard of 1080i

What's the "i"? and does these type of files need a good / powerful pc to run? or is any regular pc enough

Well, "i" is "interlaced", "p" is "progressive".

If "p" is 25 frames per second, then "i" is 50 half-frames per second, such that each half-frame has either odd or even lines.

"i" was historically used with TV and causes ugly artefacts on PC screen unless deinterlaced, so "p" is preferred. "i" might need more CPU power if deinterlacing is done by the movie player.

Oh, thanks

I'll just stick with p

Also, I learnt something new.. I always thought the p stood for pixels, not progressive lol

Ha ha, I thought p was pixels for the longest time too! But don't be scared away from interlaced files if that is your only choice. If that is what is available, download it and see if it works for you. Your computer will *probably* handle it just fine. It is worth finding out.

(I did not look at the options available here, I was just speaking generally.)
