Information Mega Disasters: Collection One What would happen if a major catastrophe struck the United States? Using past natural disasters as an example, this detailed – and disturbing – collection from HISTORY examines tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and even an asteroid impact, to see what disasters could be coming our way. The same geological forces that ripped apart the ancient world still roil beneath the surface today. Will history repeat itself? What are experts doing to avoid a landslide of death and destruction in the event of an eruption at Mt. Rainier? Would the people – and skyscrapers – of present-day Chicago survive a high-speed tornado like the one that hit in 1967? And what would happen if a Category 3 hurricane were to hit New York City? Computer animations, models, and re-creations providing a jaw-dropping view of what a storm like this could do to the Big Apple. History: Mega Disasters examines it all – quakes, droughts, freezes and eruptions. They’ve happened before; will they happen again? Part 1: West Coast Tsunami What would happen if a massive earthquake and tsunami were to strike the West Coast of the United States? Experts say it could easily match the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in scale and might. A 700-mile stretch of coast, from northern California to southern British Columbia lies just off the extremely volatile Cascadia Subduction Zone Technical Specs Video Codec: XviD ISO MPEG-4 Video Bitrate: 1863 kbps Video Resolution: 720 x 400 Video Aspect Ratio: 1.800 (16:9) Frames Per Second: 25 Audio Codec: 0x2000 (Dolby AC3) Audio Bitrate: 128 kb/s AC3 48000 Hz Audio Streams: 2ch Audio Languages: English RunTime per Part 45.mins Number Of Parts: 12 Part Size: 640 MB Source: DVD Encoded by: Harry65 |

I am wondering... can anyone here please explain why shows such as this one from the History Channel and others from Discovery Channel create such huge files in comparison to other shows from network TV such as Breaking Bad, House, MD, and others? Most network TV shows for an hour slot and 45 minutes or so of actual TV are about 350 MBs while the History/Discovery Channel shows run 640 MBs to 1.5 GB's. I'm not trying to p!$$ anyone off - it is an honest question. Is there anyway we can get smaller files for these types of shows? My limited bandwidth prevents me from grabbing what looks to be very interesting shows. Thanks!!! |
