Indy3 Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 I have 56k and I download it by right clicking and pushing save target and when i watched it it was really bad quality. Why is that? and I have a very good computer and I have the newly updated windows media player. Does everybody has this problem? thanks
Guest Boba Rhett Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Well of course it looks bad. How do you expect them to cram 5 minutes of video into a 1.3mb file? Go dl the hi res version if the low res isn't good enough for you.
Indy3 Posted June 13, 2001 Author Posted June 13, 2001 its the exact same quality.I couldnt find a difference between them. My opinion i really couldnt see anything. If anybody saw or has a very good quality one or that is good or he knows how to fix it tell me. thanks
Indy3 Posted June 13, 2001 Author Posted June 13, 2001 forget it the high res is better. But still i wish it was quicktime and that has quality of trailers or just good. seya ps: why didnt they ask abot editing
Guest Boba Rhett Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 It would be like 25mb if they made it trailer quality. They didn't ask about editing because the interviewer didn't even know the name of the game. lol.
Indy3 Posted June 13, 2001 Author Posted June 13, 2001 so what if that was 25 megs and it was trailer quality I would defintitly download it. Is it possible to changle that high-res file to a trailer quality file? thanks
CaptainRAVE Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 At least u can download it....i have to stream it!!!!!
Guest Boba Rhett Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 What do you mean, "so what" most people, "with 56k connections" don't want to spend 3 hours of there time dling something. How the hell do you propose someone change a poor quality video into a high quality video? It's like turning toast back into bread.
TornSoul Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 This isn't a trailer... this is a video made with a (probably cheap) camera from a computer monitor. It is better quality than I expected.
bsbuckeye21 Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Originally posted by CaptainRAVE: <STRONG>At least u can download it....i have to stream it!!!!!</STRONG> Huh? Just right click and select "Save Target As..." or use a 3rd party program to download it like GetRight.
wardz Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Indy, I spent ALL night downloading the Obiwan trailer (for the xbox) because my connection is only 36k. ALL NIGHT! This was fine, especially to get over 4 minutes worth was a bonus. I was expecting like 1 minute max.. wardz
SithTexasDeath Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 First off all 56kers quit whining and get a faster connection .Becuase when jk2 comes oout your gonna wish you did. All ping brother. Second there should be a low med high. Whats availble to every one is a meduim hence its 3 megs.!!!!It looks pretty good for what they have only done in 3 months!!!!! Keep up the good work Raven
Guest Boba Rhett Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Instead of blurting stuff out you have taken the time to realize that maybe some of us can't get a faster connection were we are at.
Arragorn Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 That's almost funny! In my country I need a fortune just for ISDN, let alone cable connection...
matt-- Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 How much in USD? Over here in Jersey, I get optimum online cable for $30/month.
Arragorn Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Somewere between 35-40 USD for ISDN 128... IMO it's not woth it...

ed_silvergun Posted June 14, 2001 Posted June 14, 2001 Yeah, you Yanks have to realise that over here in the UK we have this sh**ty little company called BT who control our entire telephony service. Apparently it is beyond them to get ADSL or cable services sorted out properly. I can't get ADSL because I live "a few metres too far away from the exchange". Even if I could, it would cost me about US$140 for installation and then about US$40 per month from then on. And that sort of cash I just can't afford.
wardz Posted June 14, 2001 Posted June 14, 2001 ed, ****ty is an understatement. BTW, you yanks are about to buy TONS of shares in BT cos they are skint. DON'T! I want them to suffer! wardz
CaptainRAVE Posted June 14, 2001 Posted June 14, 2001 Youd think being an interviewer youd have to know some background to the game. By forgetting the name it just showed how little thought had gone into the interview. My mum could have probably done better!
Archie Posted June 19, 2001 Posted June 19, 2001 Cable's always a good option in the UK if you happen to live in the right area. And Blueyonder is now only £25 a month...
StormHammer Posted June 20, 2001 Posted June 20, 2001 Well, Blueyonder doesn't even mention Wales, let alone any particular city of Wales. I've no doubt the same is true of all other providers. I know NTL doesn't offer broadband here either, or BT. They all focus around the largest population areas in England and Scotland, and it sux, IMO. I don't expect to see broadband in my area for at least another 5 years, and I've no doubt at all that it will be an inferior product compared to what the rest of the UK will have by then. The only real option would be to move, or simply give up on broadband access. I guess I'll be playing a lot of SP games in the near future, and continue to rely on PC game mags for large video clips, patches, demos and the like.
