New HD Sample videos!

[SLCentral]

Clipped three movies directly from Cinemax-HD on a cable box via FireWire:

Matrix Revolutions
Harry Potter 3
Dodgeball
Shrek 2
Collateral

Took appx. 1.5 minutes of each movie, and put them on my webserver. In order to play, you need nVidia PureVideo, VLC, mPlayer, or Media Center Classic. Any other software that supports *.ts will also work, but untested by me.

Let me know what you think, as well as your appx. download speed when downloading, if you don't mind .

EDIT: Added Shrek 2 from my older thread to this thread in case you missed it .

Downloading the Matrix clip...never seen it in HD (since I do only OTA channels )

Edit: speed is about 390k/sec

No need to be sarcastic . I've had them for quite some time now, I'm just sharing for those who don't.

There's sound . Grab the AC3 filter if it doesn't work.

The easiest solution is to use Cap-DVHS. You need to get drivers for your box first; you can find those on the AVSForum. Right now, I'm using SageTV to automatically schedule recordings in a media-center-like-application.

are these upconverted by cinemax or actually hd straight from the source? I know hdnet has the policy of never upconverting I don't know what cinemax does.

It's most likely upconverted, but I'm not sure.

Matrix clip looks good in VLC. For some reason I get some wierd wavy looking video effect in VLC though in the first part of the video.

 

[imported_Reck]

are transport stream files video card dependant or something?

 

[potato28]

500kb/s... why is it always slow.... Hope it looks great.

500kb/s is slow? What kind of speeds are you used to?

Yeah, but I don't think quality varies based on the card.
