Planet Earth on Discovery HD

[lokiju]

I just watched the "Shallow Seas" episode last night and that scene with the Great White shark jumping fully out of the water at 1/50 normal speed in HD like that was just about one of the most visually amazing things I think I've ever seen in HD to date.

Simply amazing looking and interesting.

Anyone else been watching them?

I got a few more on the DVR to catch up on also.

Wouldn't it be really sweet if it actually worked?

WTF us up with all the forum Nazi's lately?


WTF cares if it's been possibly posted before? I was posting specifically about the Great White shark scene anyways.


Damn.

Translation: I didn't even bother to look for other threads about this so now I have to either admit that or backpedal and I choose backpedal.

Well the worst part is using the search engine as an argument. If I were to compare it to an actual engine, I would have said it threw a rod several thousand miles ago.

Edit: Removed false logic. It apparently did work in this instance in finding this thread, and related. I didn't even bother actually trying as I gave up on it a while ago.

its ever better having all of them on your comp at 720p encoding

That would be euphemetic.

More like threw ball bearing into head and crankcase with motor revving at 20K RMP resulting in a catostrophic failure of every component. Bearings became welds.

I'd rather be watching in 1080i on a good 1080P Plasma or LCD.

true. i watch them on Discovery HD on Sunday nights. But I've also downloaded them all so I can watch them again. I plan on buying these on HD-DVD once I get a HD-DVD player.

That ... was ... so ... freaking ... tough.

and all i had to do was search on "planet earth" in the search box at the top of the forums.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

I understand. I was just alluding to the fact that a 720P broadcast is actually of lower quality than a 1080i broadcast, so long as you are viewing it through a good 1080P tv. Small but very real distinction.

Ok I have the BBC 720p PE rips on my pc, but each file only shows to be 2.3 or 4 gigs. Is this right? I was gonna make a dvd with Vista dvd maker and it was gonna put 3 on a regular single layer dvd, something didn't seem right.

DHD on 1080i is awesome.

ocean deep is good, as are mountains, pole to pole, shallow waters as discussed

great plains was pretty whatever.

you should watch man vs wild too.
