Yeah, I saw this a few days ago. Also, to record in HD, you'd need a HD Slingbox or something else that records in HD :p

I don't get the quality looks exactly the same to me, without the HQ format. Plus it takes forever for the video to buffer...what the heck

lol Upscaling your original to 1280x720 is not HD, you need to record it from an HD source with HD inputs.

Also billy, your video is only showing up as normal MP4 format, not 720p.

I'm still blind, the quality looks EXACTLY the same w/o the HQ version.

How can you tell/what is the difference between normal MP4 and 720p?

The original videos were uploaded as 1280x720 WMVs; that's 720p, right?

I'm not sure about narunetto's, but mine was 1280x720. ;)

And Billy, 720p is 1280x720 pixels. B)

I have a script that has a dropdown box and tells me all the formats the video has and it says only the SD MP4 version is there. Also, I think if the video was uploaded before a certain date it wont get re-encoded, so you'd have to re-upload them I guess.
