Larger Res and Downloads

[esalonia]

Simple request, or at least I think so... Could we please get a larger res for viewing? It looks painfully small on a 22" screen with 1680x1050 resolution. Oh, and if we could dl the episodes like other episodes, that would be nice as well.

Thanks,

1. I think 720p is the best you'll get.

2. I doubt they'll offer file downloads because of piracy.

I watch on a similar screen at the same resolution, and while yes, it isn't the prettiest thing I've ever seen while fullscreen, no amount of pixelation can ruin Sarah's features. ;)

But in all seriousness, yeah, a higher resolution version would be nice, but then they'd have to get a real camera, rather than the Sony Handicam they're probably using now.

I was fine with the quality of the first episode, but this time all they have is a crumby ~320*240 (or less) version. I am also fine with the fact that they do not offer them as downloadable, piracy is much harder this was and I trash the episode when im finished watching it anyway. I do really enjoy the show though, so keep up the good work!

Umm, piracy is just as easy the way it's set up now. Not that I pirate, I'm actually a paying member ;)

As for the quality, Sarah posted this:
We had a little trouble getting the Gazette out this week (internal server error, no HD version). Rest assured that next week, it'll be smooth sailing! Thanks for your patience, and for your support.
It will be better next time...

An actual file would be easier to redistribute than streaming flash. Extracting the flash requires an extra step.

1 step doesn't make it harder, just a tad more complex... and in reality, does 1 extra step really stop anyone that wants to redistribute it. I say redistribute, cause it is obviously a paying member "pirating" a copy of it.

So we were thinking about the fact that many of you may enjoy watching R3G somewhere other than your computer screen, and that by offering only flash versions of the show, we're not letting you do that.

Starting next week, full downloads + HD flash for everyone! And by everyone, I mean members. :)

yay HD flash and downloads...thanks :D
