Just to say, the quality of this vid is awesome. (For its size, obviously.)
Why? Because the source is 1080i over there in England, as opposed to 720 as it
is here. Great cap.


Not quite correct...

In the USA, 720p is used by ABC, Fox Broadcasting Company and ESPN because the smoother image is
desirable for fast-action sports telecasts, whereas 1080i is used by CBS, NBC, HBO, Showtime and
Discovery HD due to the crisper picture particularly in non-moving shots.

Also there's a big difference between interlaced video and progressive video. While 1080i (interlaced) has
more scan lines than 720p (progressive), they do not translate directly into greater vertical resolution.
Interlaced video is usually blurred vertically (filtered) to prevent twitter. Twitter is a flickering of fine
horizontal lines in a scene, lines that are so fine that they only occur on a single scan line. Because only
half the scan lines are drawn per field, fine horizontal lines may be missing entirely from one of the fields,
causing them to flicker. Images are blurred vertically to ensure that no detail is only one scan line in
height. Therefore, 1080i material does not deliver 1080 scan lines of vertical resolution. However 1080i
provides a 1920-pixel horizontal resolution, greater than 720p's 1280 resolution.

yeah the source is 1080p but for 640x352 encodes any source as good or better
then 480p DVD wont yeild much of a difference on these encodes.

also European HD sources own NTSC ones not because of resultion but that they
are generally a higher bitrate and use the much better h264 codec rather then
mpeg-2. but mean while notice how there are few HD station and shows in HD in
the uk as compared to a large majority of usa stuff having an hd source

Hi death734,
Your efforts are very much appreciated by myself & I'm sure all of the
guys here who would like to d/l this show but the original file size was an
obstacle.

You didn't have to do that in fairness...

You know what's gonna happen now....don't you!

LOL...

Many thanks again


Best Regards,

the first show was a bit disappointing, great bunch of brit actors but nothing
you can do with cheesy script that drags its heels. 2nd show was more up to
standard. I'll keep watching hoping it'll get better thx for popping it up!
ipv6 ready
