I tried downloading the video, but it's only audio.

You need to install the DivX codec: http://www.divx.com/ :yes:

PM Edition used a pre-recorded teaser today, and it used the correct opener music.

Hmm, Samantha is using the chroma key today... :huh:

EDIT: Betty is, too.

Both Betty and Samantha have been using the key wall so far in the show. I wonder why. :unsure:

This is weird. The corner PM Edition bug has also been frozen the whole show so far.

EDIT: They're standing way too close to the camera; they look way too big, especially on 4:3 TVs.

Maybe the lights at the video projection wall have burnt out already.

I've noticed that. It looks like there right here in my room.

They're using the projectors on A&B. Wonder why they couldn't use them on PME... :wacko:

This better not be permanent. The show looks better with the projector wall.

I'd have to disagree. The projector walls still look horrific in SD.

Isn't the key wall located near where the PM Edition desk is set up? Maybe it's closer to get to than the projector wall. :unsure: That's probably a crazy thought.

I like the projector walls, but there is not enough light and in SD, some items still get cut off.

I don't like the key-walls--at all.  They seem too small, and the camera seems right in front of them.

The PME desk is essentially in the same place it always is; it's just rotated.

The key walls aren't good in the HD studio, pretty much because of what wxmediafan said. Earlier tonight, Sam wasn't respecting safe zones whatsoever and was standing completely in the 16:9-only zone on the right side of the screen.

:offtopic:

Are there pre-recorded teasers on YWT? And is it always Heather giving the live teaser? :unsure: On videos I've seen of YWT, there is a live teaser with Heather only.

No, the teasers are live on YWT. Not sure about who does the teasers - I don't see YWT that often.
