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.
That would be great. :sunglasses:

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

Something with a 1920x1080 resolution? I imagine it would be pretty big.
My super-awesome website!

I'd like to patch it to my HD TV and see what is like in true quality!

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.

Can you try half of full HD?

Roughly around 960 x 540?

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

Are you captuing it, or uploading it?

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.
