The link is there.

Filefront already banned me once for posting TWC videos; I don't want to risk it again.

What I find interesting is that the "When Weather Changed History" Local On the 8s opener isn't in HD. Are the other WWCH promos HD?

There should be a green button that says "free download".

Yep, it played fine on my laptop. :yes:

It is in HD - because it's letterboxed on SD. I'm not sure what happened in Spring Rubber's video, though.

I don't believe its HD... I think it was just made to look letter box even if its SD...

You'd think they'd make in HD since their HD relaunch is approaching. :unsure:

They still start transitioning show graphics to HD in June, and it should be completed by the end of the year.
