1. Encode
2. Save Bandwidth
3. Save Time
4. Feel Smart
5. Profit
6. ...

turn in your profit-card :p

Heh... I was about to put two ellipses, so it would have read like this.

6. Profit

8. Lawsuit
9. Negative Profit

Why would you want the subpar encoded *.AVI file when you can have the raw *.TS file.

Hmmm, it's stopped at 99.5%, the original one. Oh well, new one going

and what's that, AC3? Very nice. I'll watch it in the morning :) Thanks again OP

The direct download link is a nice nice version, no HDTV artifacts like the one I got. If you can, d/l the direct download link.

how can I play this. Every time I load it up I can hear the audio but the video is blank. I tried vlc and the elecard mpeg2 player but both do the same thing...could it be my screen resolution is too low? 1280x768? I can't go any higher on my Olevia

i play it in media player classic and probably some codec i installed way back i can't remember. i do remember i just googled how to play .ts files and it worked out. it is a shame they didn't go full hd with the trailer though, damn pan and scam.

.TS files are best played with PowerDVD Version 6 w/SPDIF output - no AC3 filter required for Dolby Digital 5.1.

the choppy file is the one linked in the other thread - the file name is sw3_trailer_hdtv.mpg

played it with winDVD, and while it was better, it's still choppy

help me Obi Wan!

I'm really excited for this movie but I don't think that was a very good trailer. It just didn't pull me in.

I loved the theatrical trailer for Matrix Revolutions...

are you out of your mind? this trailer was awesome, and it's the first out of the prequels that I actually want to see. I anticipate this to be the best of the prequels by far.
