Is it just me or did the small xvid version get labeled as both small and large?
I always download the xvid versions since for me they look the best, but this time the large version is showing up as 110mb and 320x180.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

not sure I go for the HD version. The HD version was good for me.

Hi blackacid,
Yes I have the same issue. Looks like Revision3 are planning to kill the xvid feed. First reduce the quality of recording to force you to switch to other format and then use the argument that xvid is not popular and then stop providing it. In several weeks we are going to find out if I am correct.
Revision3 used to have support for HD in xvid format. The similar thing happens back then. The only difference this time is that I will not switch to WMV or Quicktime format.
1) the xvid versions were indeed swapped this week. We're correcting this.
2) there has been no decision to stop xvid support. there was a discussion on formats and codecs where options were discussed, in order to open a dialog on what devices people need to watch their content on. When the fact that xvid support is not required for playback on the majority of devices was discussed, some took this as a sign that we were canceling the format. (there's a lot of confusion on xvid vs asp vs avi vs mp4). Once again, no one has said anything or is planing on stopping xvid support at this time.
3) revision3 has never distributed HD xvid files.

Hey Folks,
Just wanted to let you know that the large xvid has been uploaded. This was my faults, I've been implementing a new encoding system and fat fingered a copy (the xvidlarge script was literally a copy of the xvidsmall). All work and no beer make Homer.. something.. somthing..

It's all good. I do that too sometimes when I'm writing php files and the like. I'll go to click the "save as" and forget what it was that I wrote and click on the file name that I shouldn't have. Then have to go back and rewrite it all again.
So no worries, it all turned out ok in the end.
