Heroes S01E17 720p HDTV x264-CTU

i have never downloaded the 720p version of any show. i currently only have a
17" crt monitor which the 350mb rips look awesome on.

but i am downloading this to view on my new monitor, a 22" samsung widescreen
lcd, when it becomes available for me to pickup in a few days.

then i can pick which files look the best on my screen.
but the filesize is such a turnoff cos ive used up over 100gb in 350mb quality
rips in about6-9 months.

ah well

is it just me, or did someone take the 16:9 ratio and whack the sides off so
it's only 4:3? ew.

i just want to thank anim8r_x for his advice about downloading the cccp
(combined community codec pack). this made all the difference in the world.
it's hard for me to take advice from people i don't know, but i am glad i took
his!

i don't understand why do they have to use mkv format?
if it is just x264, what's wrong with mp4?
mkv packaging has serious compatibility problem/corss platform.

hi... the release looks awesome...

but i cannot play it properly...

the sound and the picture are always apart !!!

i use media player classic and the nemo - mega codec pack...

and recently i have tried the cccp - codec, but with the same result...

please, help me with that!!!

thx
