i've never given it much thought as to the file size of these shows. but now that i read the previous two
posts, i decided to look at some of my previously downloaded shows. the 700 mb file clearly has more
pixels as reported by my quicktime pro player. a quick visual inspection also showed that the 700 mb file
was vastly superior to the 350 mb version.
ofcourse, that assumes you have a high definition video source to view these shows. for me, i use my
laptop conected to my 1080i tv set via a dvi cable. so i can appreciate the difference. however, if you
view the shows on a standard 480i tv set, you may not gain any advantage from the larger files.
i'm not a super techno geek, so someone else may have more information to provide. but i'm sold on the
larger file size.
