Don't worry dude. There will be SD DVD torrents. I may do one myself.

Yeah I know, it's great & I can't thank U enough for that!

I think Blue-ray readers and HD equipment are still too expensive in France...
Prices are only decreasing since this year...

We were selling Open Item Blu-Ray players at Best Buy that were kick ass for $99 a few days ago.

Decent enough deal. I'll need to grab a BR for HD playback on my 37" HD CRT. I've just been rolling with a Samsung upconverting DVD player for the last 2 years on the tube, until someone emerged victorious from the format war.

Everyone needs to relax a bit...especially because you're wrong about this last part.
It only becomes digital, NOT HD in February....I pity anyone that buys a TV from you...

From the Analog to digital transition FAQ:

Your Television

If I want a new TV, will I have to buy a High Definition TV (HDTV) to watch digital broadcast television after the transition?

No. It is important to understand that the DTV transition is a transition from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. It is not a transition from analog broadcasting to High Definition broadcasting. Digital broadcasting allows for High Definition broadcasts, but High Definition is not required, and you do not need to buy a HDTV to watch digital TV. A Standard Definition DTV (which is simply a TV with an internal digital tuner), or a digital-to-analog converter box hooked to an analog TV, is all that is required to continue watching over-the-air broadcast television. Digital broadcast television includes Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats. You can watch High Definition programming on a Standard Definition DTV (or on an analog TV hooked to a digital-to-analog converter box), but it won’t be in full High Definition quality. It is also important to know that Standard Definition DTVs are comparably priced to similar sized analog TVs.

Has anyone seen this stuff on binary newsgroups by any chance?

I was just thinking the same thing. Using the Usenet binary newsgroups to distribute this footage would GREATLY speed things up. Downloading the footgage using my Giganews newgroup provider at 9 Mbps would definitely trump the ~250 kB/s download speed I'm getting with the torrent. I did a search using the search feature in NewsBinPro and didn't see any of this cam footage out there in the newsgroups. I'm willing to help get the Sacramento show uploaded to the newsgroups. Right now I'm downloading Sacramento CAM1-1.mov from the torrent. As soon as it's completed downloading later tonight, I'll work on getting it uploaded to the newsgroups. It's been quite awhile since I've uploaded to a newsgroup, but I still have all the necessary tools (YencPowerPost, QuickPAR, WinRAR) and a Giganews account. alt.binaries.music.videos might be a good newsgroup to upload this footage to. There's also a dedicated alt.binaries.music.nin newsgroup that nobody seems to be using. I could cross-post to that newsgroup as well. Is anyone else out there experienced with the newsgroups and willing to help upload? It would only take 13 uploaders total to get all 5 cams of Sacramento up on the newsgroups. Each uploader would only have to download one of the Sacramento .mov files from the torrent and upload it to the newsgroup. The same could be done for the Victoria and Portland shows if there are enough uploaders able to participate.

No offense to everyone but if you cant even figure out if you can watch HD you probably have no place trying to download the HD footage or editing it for that matter. Leave the torrent channels open so the Pros can go in and do their job.

I sadly cannot due to Crapcast data caps and low disk space, I however know alot of people that use newsgroups, ill put the word out as well. Torrents are great and all, but its so dependant on too many factors, hopfully this will at least help the cause of getting this out to more people.

I'm loving the newsgroup idea. The last time I saw the alt.binaries.music.nin have some action was when some one leaked The Fragile on there about a month before the release. There's also
"alt.binaries.nine.inch.nails"
"alt.music.nin"
"alt.music.nin.creative"

I suppose since they are binary files that we should keep them in the binaries groups...but I would definitely cross post to one of the NIN binary groups. I'm currently downloading Sac show Cam5-3. I don't know how to post to newsgroups yet....but I'll figure it out. I'll help out and post this one, I hope others are willing to post as well. I think it would be good to post it to both "alt.binaries.music.nin" and "alt.binaries.music.videos".

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm here to help.


Rob.

for comcast users (such as myself unfortunately) i read up on the new 250gb monthly cap. they state that the first time you go over the 250gb monthly cap they will contact you to give you a warning and look into ways to keep you from going over the cap in the future.

now, if you go over the cap for a second time within a 6 month time frame, that is when they will take more serious action and suspend you from being able to have cable modem through comcast for 1 year.

some of you may not be willing to do this... as for myself, i have no problem getting my warning in order to d/l all 404gb of hd nin live loveliness. when they contact me to ask why i went over the cap i'm going to be completely honest and state that my favorite band since i was 12 years old (days away from being 29 years old currently) put up, for free and legal to d/l, hd footage of their last 3 live shows to edit/view/play with how i see fit. i'll also advise that this isn't something that can be purchased in stores.

finally, just want to say to trent the whole nin crew, this was the greatest live performance i have ever experienced, and probably ever will. it also happened to be my new wife's first live concert she had ever been to!

trent and company.... thank you for your art and all the hard work you put into it.

respectfully,

cody hall

Everything is going HD? You're a fucking wanker. You have no clue. To all the George Lucas wannabes, have fun with your HD equipment whilst you're country is in recession and you later can't even afford a fucking loaf of bread. Some of you need to learn some fucking manners.

"Go skin a croc, punch a kangaroo, look for the dingo that ate your baby, whatever. You'll get what you want eventually."

Typical arrogant american/canadian attitude. I'm riding a kangaroo to work today. Fucking dumbass.

"demultiplexing" is not a word"

obviously you've never used TMPGENC Mpeg-2...

Seriously, you're going to turn this into a "my country is better than your country" thing? K, just because you use the word "wanker" a lot, I'm going to assume you're British. If you're not, don't correct me...I honestly don't care. I just felt it necessary to offer the following:

"Oh, you English are SO superior, aren't you? Well would you like to know what you'd be without us, the good ol' U.S. of A. to protect you?! I'll tell you: the smallest FUCKING province in the Russian Empire, that's what...If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking GERMAN! Singing, 'Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles...'!!"

Indeed, words of wisdom from A Fish Called Wanda. In any event, seriously, can everyone just chill the fuck out? No matter what you think, this is an awesome experience for all of us. Whether you have HD or not, you will benefit. So please, for the love of God, calm yourselves.

LOL A Fish Called Wanda.

I thought it was clearly said that all of us will be satisfied, HD or not, & both audio and video...

So where's the fucking problem??!
We don't give a shit if you're english, american, ausralian, or whatever...
There's assholes everywhere...

I wouldn't mind helping out. I am downloading the first file in Sacramento now but I have no idea about these newsgroups or where to find them. I searched for them through Google but nothing really came up. Care to explain how I go about finding them? That said, after the first file is done tonight I can start up another camera from Sacramento.
