Hmm. Was expecting something higher than 480p.

Apple and Microsoft hav eome decent trailers. The apple website also offers some of the new trailers in HD - I have found some good ones. Here's Superman Returns.

I know a few adult companies have hd porn online as well, but maybe that's better off left for the adult forum.

I would like to find some time lapse footage in HD if anyone knows of a good place.

The perpetually-delayed Chronos HD DVD will have plenty. It's an Imax feature dedicated to time lapse footage.

I have Sin City in 720p and it looks great....

I'd love to know how the hell to watch the apple trailers in 1080p. If i click 720p it works ok. 1080p I will click and nothing happens.

How did it work with 720p?

For me, I'm using the latest k-lite codec pack that includes quicktime alternative plugins and media player classic to play them.

When I download HD trailers from Apple, I'm always prompted with a wizard - something like - "download and play" -> "rename hd files?" -> downloading, etc. Is that what everyone else gets? And the 1080p link seemed to work fine just now.

I just put an HD component out capable card in an extra PC and hooked it up to my HDTV. The Apple HD trailers play perfectly in 720p but the 1080p is real choppy. What are the resource requirements for a PC to play HD?

redford

There recommended requirements from MS are here.

For 1080p they state:

- 3.0 GHz processor or equivalent
- 512 MB of RAM
- 128 MB video card

In my experience they are true playing VC-1 encoded discs/files. My HTPC is pretty powerful (easily meets the requirements) and plays them fine. But another PC of mine (2.4 GHz and 2 GB RAM) is very choppy at 1080p (and fine at 720p).

This also seems true with apple's H.264 codec. Playing HD material can be very processor intensive.
