canceling some hr's would suck for a lot of ppl if u start doing a show in hr keep doing it until the season ends. besides there are a lot of cons when it comes to 720p atm -size(bw) -the need for a good comp -harder to play em on tv -more space on the hdd/dvd sure some ppl are very enthusiastic about 720p but the fact remains that the dl #s are 2-3 times lower for 720p then hr's on private trackers and most likely here there are more ppl with limited/low bw or older comps than on private trackers. it's too soon for 720p and if eztv would have the resources to do 720p without canceling anything else it would be ok but canceling some hr's ( i presume hr's for gilmore girls,studio 60,veronica mars,the unit,the oc,csi will be canceled since they are the ones with the lower dl #s) will dissapoint a lot more ppl. |

many of you who think your computers can't cope with 720p will find that you just need the nvidia pure video decoder (and other decoders) installed and properly configured, for those on windows (other than vista) there is a good bundle codec replay pack thing, i lost the link but made a decentralized magnet link for azureus users: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:65md2zbgncstjqplnvkuooavvju4ys34 try the magnet link a few times. (will get easier once a few people grab it, and please seed) some parts of the above pack can work with vista, but you might need to do some more stuff to get it working smoothly. btw despite the fact that using the nvidia decoder means that my radeon won't do any acceleration, i have no dropped frames, my videocard is a 9700tx. |

purevideo is no good for folks like myself who only have a crappy integrated card... i'm buying a new pc in a month or two that should be able to view it fine, but i don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell i'll be able to get it watchable on my 2.2ghz celeron with an integrated intel extreme something or another. |

try it, as i said with the nvidia decoder it's not using harware (gfx card) acceleration anyway, so you never know. |

i also prefer 720p releases to hr. being able to actually see patterns on the wall in the background of a scene is really great. playing 720p h264 isn\'t so hard, if you use coreavc. ffdshow is also quite capable but needs slightly more power. with windvd+purevideo cpu usage drops down to about 10 to 15%. but it looks a bit jumpy (hard to notice) on my 6600gt. so i stay with coreavc. maybe it\'s just my old windows installation or windvd, because other people can use purevideo for h264 with graphic chips slower than my 6600gt. |

well heres some screen captures i did to try and show the difference in quality. these were done using heroes s01e09 @ 00:01.08. links contain no videos, audios, viruses or illegal files just 3 pictures hosted on image shack. heroes 624*352p (350mb) image capture: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/387/heroes624352pre9.jpg  heroes 960*544p (700mb) image capture: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6623/heroes960544pwd0.jpg  heroes 1280*720p (1.1gb) image capture: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9183/heroes1280720pzc7.jpg  it'd be really great if a mod could review this and allow the links for others to see, thx! |

yeh i see the difference it is better. but the 720 is a lager file (not that botherd about that much) but it all adds up. but the main thing for me is i can't get the h264 codec to work on my pc. like other people has said before as time moves on and internet speeds go up. people also will be getting new pcs that can play them in the future, as i am. but for now i think they should stay with the hr hdtv versions of the shows. as in the past they have done a (350) meg version of shows i hope they will keep doing the (350) megs they are not bad quality and take no time to download and seed back. i love hd too. its just a bit much for my pc + internet connection just now. bye for now (si)(uk) |

the 720p are already out there, but on semi private trackers, if you know where to look, but like hr they currently seem random and the odd episode doesnt get released its the same "scene groups" that cap the hr or should i say downscale to a hr release. but i cant play their versions of 720p h264 packed in mkv, that envelope and only that envelope does take to much,( no its my cpu to slow for h264 and mkv together ) put 720p h264 in another envelope and it runs fine. if eztv have decided that they want 720 on the site, just hope they get more deadicated seeders/boxes purely for starting the 720 torrents and not remove seeders from the 350mb files. |
