Yes, its different in sports because sports are very detailed but for regular quality like TWC or Nat Geo, HD isnt really that necessary.

Believe me, it's a huge difference watching news programs in HD. If you watch TWC HD and then switch back to the SD feed, things look pretty blurry.

They're also using a new lower third on which the white-ish line separating the top and bottom lines of the L3 is thicker and creates an awkward looking A&B logo on the left. At the same time that this happened, they've restored animated corner logos for A&B, YWT, and possibly other shows.

BTW, all of the WWCH openers *are* pointlessly letterboxed on the HD feed, as well.

This is yet another crying shame. Bob was freaking awesome, especially when he worked with Dave, Mark, or Ray. I'm really going to miss him.

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

The link is there.

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

At any rate I'd like to know what a typical HD LF is in size (MB)..

I'm done encoding, so I've got your answer...

142 MB.

Thankfully, filefactory accepts up to 300MB/file, so it's being uploaded right now.

I'm encoding it right now. 60% done.

I'm going the whole 1920 X 1080 as we speak. Let's see what happens; this should take a little while...

That didn't go over well; it kept the a 512 X 288 size. I'm going to have to force a larger size manually. What size should it be?

(Keep in mind, no matter what I do, I can't get it in perfect HD since I don't have a DVD recorder that can accept HDMI input (if one even exists), and there is also loss from the DVD compression. I could record an uncompressed one for you in the future, though.

Hmmm... let's see what I can do. It's processing right now.

A national radar, followed by a national forecast map, then the Watches & Warnings/Thurnderstorm Forecast/Precip. Forecast sgement, and finally the usual five-day forecast. I can post a video soon if you'd like.

How big would a 100% quality capture of a HD Satellite LF be? Like 1:1 Quality?

Kyle, are you saying you want one?
