Don't tell me what I do and don't understand. I perfectly well understand the point of maintaining a lossless copy. Sitting and wanking with it is another story. Have fun with a PC working with QT HDV. That's all i'm saying.
I just find it annoying that instead of going from a huge file to a rather reasonable one for others, there's all this talk of maintaing a high end format, that honestly, even at the end of it, unless you have the equipment to enjoy it, you can't or won't notice it. It was something similiar to what even TR said, about, the advancement of technology and that it's created more problems just as much as more enjoyment. It's great if you can afford the 7.1 channel surround system and HDTV, if you don't have these rather expensive things, you miss out. For this reason, I do not like Blu-Ray already, whilst I appreciate the file size that a disc can hold, even at the end of it, you can't appreciate it unless you have the hardware. Honestly, bring back BETA tapes and VHS. Hey even DVD is ok, but anything more is just getting greedy and to be honest, ridiculous.
Look at it from this way, TR has said that he's cutting back his lights and shows because of the problems it can create. This is the way I view Blu-Ray now. It's great for a while, but after it, it can create more problems than it's worth. I got into video editing for ages when I had a PC, not so much now on a Mac because the capture hardware is fricken expensive, so I know all about codecs, demuxing and editing with various programs to get the best possible sound/visuals.
Another prospect is that TR posted the files for people to enjoy, not to spend months on working a new DVD/Blu-Ray disc for. I'm sure they'll be someone out there to maintain an awesome DVD/xvid/avi type work for the 3 shows, it's just funny that people are interested more in the preservation of quality than the honest reliability of it. It's not all that it's cracked up to be. But that's my opinion, which i'm entitled to.
I'm not trying to smash anyones hopes or dreams by working with these files, I think some people just tend to live in a dream land at points, and lose sight of the actual task at hand.
By all means, have fun with the files, after all, I am rather jealous that it is fucking huge, I do not have the HDD space, let alone the power to edit any of those files.
Have fun!
P.S. I think it's fantastic that people are already posting the audio in WAV/MP3 formats, i'm surprised anyone hasn't asked for FLAC. LOL.
