24 in 720p

i know eztv experimented with hd .mkv files a while ago, and i am just wondering
if there is any way that the new season of 24 will be released by eztv in this
quality. i know i can just watch it on tv, but i would like it to archive.

it depends on the popularity. we had one prison break episode like this right?
if resources are enough, you never know 😉

ya, it was a lost ep.

24 is one of the most popular tv shows, and i hope that it happens.

we shall see how things go...

24 is very popular, and i think that could be a reason why it will not work.

i noticed with the episodes of 24 already released they are very slow to
download. this could because for many people who download it, it is the only
show they download. these type of people will not fully understand the
bittorrent model and will not care about seeding, and so the huge files
necessary would be very slow to transfer

ya, but with the resources available to eztv, these download speeds could be
greatly enhanced.

i think that most people who download just to "show that they download" also
seed, so more people can see the show and have it gain more popularity.

i played a 350 meg version on my 576p tv and was great quality, honestly
unless u have a 720/1080 tv its not worth getting it, as ud be wasting d/l

i do have a 720/1080 tv. a lot of people do.

i love hd,and it do have a better performance;
i really really wanna to watch 24 on hd
hope the whole day6 will be posted as 720p edtion on eztv

does anybody know if these .mkv 720p files will play on my powerbook g4 1.67? i normally download the
hr versions, but i would love the 720p version to play through my tv. cheers, chris.

actually, not many people have a 1080 tv, you might think a lot of people do but
they only have 1080i instead of 1080p - only 108p is really full hd

tests show that given a choice between 720p and 1080i the better choice is 720p,
overall mathematically this gives better picture than 1080i... so 720p is nice
for now, only really high end plasma's and lcd's are doing full 1080p today!

anyone with a monitor bigger than 17" can enjoy 720p in full resolution. and
it will def be noticably better than hr.hdtv at 20" or greater.

...but you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p unless your tv is
larger than 60".

i presume the 720p releases are 5.1 surround sound?

i guess so cause it played well on my pm 1.6g notebook and in fact 720p.mkv
video uses almost the same way to coding the video part as 720p.mov file
