Seems like all of the newer offerings lack the Higher Quality Stereo Video. Only the "Normal" quality video is available. I like the higher resolution of the High Quality video. I have this big monitor..........I would like to see Neil in all of his high quality splendor :side:

Me too, but I haven't said anything.

I've been assuming the high resolution videos were waiting for the migration to this new server and would be showing up as they got time to do them.

I imagine they've been pretty busy.

Hi Guys,

We have been working on a new formula for this. The video encoding is pretty complicated and it is taking a little time. Our old system of doing this broke when software updates came out and it is not a possibility to roll back. The team has been testing insane amazing quality of video but the problem is striking the balance between amazing clarity, file size, and ability to stream through broadband. It takes a long time to encode a video for each test we are doing as well.

We are very close though so please hang in there.

Thanks,
Big Jim

It could be that many members have trouble with the high bitrate. Do you remember the uproar when they posted only high quality video at first? :cheer:

Yes, I experimented on four computers before I figured out what I needed to do. But I prefer the hi res.

Nice tux, by the way.
