View Full Version : Question: Diggnation HD?
So...I just watched Diggnation in HD, and I think it's looking pretty good. I'm wondering though: what do the boys (and by boys I mean the post-production people...) use to compress their HD file into H.264? I'm curious. Maybe I'll get lucky and get an answer from the horse's mouth. :o

From what I have seen, many podcast videos use : http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ (on a mac) not sure what rev3 uses tho.

I am not a horse... so you will not get it from me... :)
We use Compressor (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/compressor/).

Damn that was fast.
I guess that's what I get for five bucks a month! Thanks!

The HD QuickTime does work on the 360 according to this post (http://revision3.com/forum/showpost.php?p=198637&postcount=6).

I just first want to say that I LOVE Diggnation and watch every episode, and when I noticed that the show is now in HD I was Astoundingly Glorified to watch Diggnation on my Apple TV like I usually would with the Large version that just play's on my Apple TV, and now when I went to put the HD version on my Apple TV to watch it on my Glorious Sharp Aquos HDTV it would not Transfer!
So after noticing that I had to convert it myself with my VERY Slow Powerbook G4 I was Very pissed off. But seeing how I LOVE Diggnation so much and because I did want to actually watch Diggnation in HD the way it should be watched I went and Converted it with "VisualHub" and So 11 HOUR'S Later! It was done. So after all 12 Hour's of this I was so hoping next week's episode was actually going to be playable for the Apple TV and I noticed It Was Not ! I Was Pissed to say the least.
So to the PPL at Revision3 If you could find it in your heart to Just PLEASE convert Diggnation in HD For the Apple TV or Just put out another version of the show in HD For the Apple TV user's, I Would Love you Guy's and Girl's and Revision3 Forever! :-) Because I do not want to have to do this myself every week.
Thanks Revision3 for all the Great work you do, and Hopefully one of You Will Read This!

The HD H.264 will not work with the XBOX 360 using windows media connect or any of the third part aps like TVersity. You need to use WMP 11 or Zune.
You may also have to burn the file to a CDR and open it from there to force the .h264 codec to download from XBOX live.
However, if you are using the WMP 11 or Zune media sharing software and you've downloaded the H.264 codec from XBOX live. The files plays splendidly.

This latest episode works fine on my AppleTV. Non-modded too. Last weeks episode didn't, but this one worked fine. You sure you didn't do something wrong?
