[el quote]And about 6,000 waiting for the 720p.[ /el quote]
So you guys are of course encoding the files for each of those 6000 individually, right? What a service LOL

One of the many ppl waiting for SD’s… They seem to work the best in AllToAvi convertor so… No I don’t have a crappy pc but some of my friends do… So it’s rude to give them a copy with a series and then they’re pc crashes… XD

@SystematicChaos, You are absolutly correct. The lack of 480p offerings starting from ep.17 to present is just bad manners on the part of the encoder. it has nothing to do with any real difficulties on his/her part. In all reality given the size of the screen I display on there is no reason to download a 720p over a 480p I save myself hard drive space and as for archiving? PLEASE! ist’s just a story. and honestly if you put it up next to something like say Scrapped Princess, it comes in a VERY distant last. I for one only view and delete the ep’s after a few days but if saving them for postarity is your thing then by all means get the 720p versions. Any way, as I said, this is only a matter of poor manners on the part of the encoder, not any real difficulty on his/her part.

@SystematicChaos, if thats the case why don’t you just re-encode it your self?

I don’t think it’s a matter of how many people are waiting for the 480p, it’s just that encoding should take two hours at most on a crappy computer, of which less than ten minutes require any attention from the encoder. I’ve never been able to figure out why encoders take so long… I always just set up everything, click “run,” and go to sleep, and things turn out fine. So the 480p releases should be no sweat, and this delay makes no sense. If someone would be kind enough as to give a good explanation, I would appreciate it.

For the record, I’m not waiting for the 480p because my computer can’t play 720p. I just don’t like videos taking up my entire screen.

@Lem and Lake: Lol.

@Lem You have it all wrong, I don’t have anything as advanced as an apple IIe. Couldn’t afford one no how. Got me a Vic 20 with a tape drive and a monochrome monitor, you know that neet green color? I’m savin up fer that advanced 4 color jobby I say in ma 1979 catalog, they should still have em kickin around in a back room sumers. I mean, heck if I can’t power it off a pair of gerbles on a tread mill then what use is a fancy calculator good fer? Hell this internet thing is just a fad anyway. I’m puttin my money in dial-up!

P.S. I eagerly await the release in RealVideo format. I’m talkin’ .rm, not .rmvb here people. Time to get funky, old-school style.

@Lake: right, sure, I know I personally was waiting on the SD release so that I can go watch it on my Apple IIe. After that, I plan to go to the grocery store and pay with a personal check, and when I get home I’m going to settle down for a nice night of listening to records on my gramophone. I need to get up early in the morning so I can milk the cows and churn my own butter.

Seriously, SD releases are so _quaint_.
