Yep, I'm one of em!
I understand that Trent is a mac boy, but why limit your audience for this present to mac users only?
Maybe there were issues with converting them for PC? Maybe the quality went below what they wanted it to. Who knows for sure unless we hear from RS or TR.
Maybe because he knows that lots of these fans will get it out there in more ways for other fans without those resources to play with. Already we have audio rips, and stuff posted on Vimeo...
He knew what he was doing. 
It's not like Trent himself (or anyone probably) said 'lets only do this for macs'. The company that shoots these things shoots in HDV format, why compress it again and degrade the footage? Not to mention PCs can edit the files.
There's probably going to be all kinds of versions of this, it's only been up for 2 days, and we've already gotten to see what some of it looks like.
Just gotta be patient.
Yes, actually it is just like Trent or RS said let's use FCP. Because they have clear back since AATCHB! And let's be clear... This is a mac proprietary format FROM FCP, not from the cameras used to film it. This could have easily been distributed in a non-proprietary format for all to edit.
You nailed it. Cameras don't record in proprietary FCP format
Ah well. I can re-encode at the highest bitrate possible, and output in 1080p. It'll still be pretty damn nice looking. I can't really bitch too much though, it's free, it's HD, it's live NIN. 
Ya, I'll try to convince a friend with a mac to dl FCP so I can import and then export back out to something usable by Premiere Pro
Hm...I do have access to a bunch of new imacs at my job, with FCP installed. However, performance will be dismal. I wish OSX wasn't locked to proprietary bullshit hardware, without using something like OSx86, or spending 8 billion dollars on a dual quad mac.
If you do this, would you be willing to burn me copies? I'll pay the shipping and costs for the media of course. It'd be nice to have something that I can work with without re-encoding with shitty M-JPEG.
