HBO Documentary involving Prius Hyper-milers

Unfortunately, I am rather TV challenged in my home. Any chance you might be willing to burn a DVD ? I'm happy to pay you a reasonable fee.

 

i have a dvd burner only cost $240 or so. dont have HBO but i do know a few that do. plus anything that comes on tv will be on the net in a few hours most likely.

 

I can try to record it and make a torrent if people are interested. The only problem is what format people would like. I can easily do WMF and I can also do xvid or straight mpeg or mpeg2. xvid and the mpeg files will take a little longer and would be bigger. Anyone interested?

 

DVD recorders (the type you plug directly to the television, like a VCR) are only $89 now.

Absolutely.

I use Linux and Macintosh. Generic formats are good mpg2 or mpg4 should work for everybody.
H264 for an HD stream would be REALLY spiffy. Using ffmpeg, you can encode 320 X 176 with high quality mp3 audio, at 30 KB/sec

You ought to be posting this stuff if you're going to start the thread on it.

 

Sorry no HDTV signal. But I dont think they will be broadcasting in HD are they? I will be recording at 320x240 MPEG for video CD playback so just about everyone can watch without problems. Hope everything looks and sounds good. Looks like it will be starting in 10 minutes.

 

OK my computer messed up. :angry: I'll be getting the 10:00 feed tonight on HBOw. I should have it ready to download tommorrow.

Thanks for doing this. I'm interested and have bookmarked this thread when you have a link or torrent. If torrent, I'll try to leave my client open as long as possible to help serve the file...

 

Here is the prius clip.

Clip ~1.83MB
Right click and save as. I will try to keep it on my server as long as possable.

The full res mpeg is in post processing and should be available in the morning.

 

[you] forced me to stay up tonight to finish and upload the torrent. :angry:

Here is the torrent. HBO Too Hot Not To Handle Torrent its about 532MB

Please leave your client open and share 1:1 or I might beat the crap out of you! I'll leave mine up as long as posable.

I was beaten badly by [you] and i'm very tired. I'm going to sleep now.











Sorry I just had to use the you tag. Now am I part of the cool crowd? B)

 

Nobody is sharing the torrent

0 seeders

 

I tried the torrent on Tues at 7:40 mst. No connections available

 

The short clip is wmv format. The windows player for macintosh plays the video without audio. VLC plays the audio without video.

So I just ran both concurrently.

Very nice Thanks theForce ! Hoping to see the mpeg later.

theForce,

I have five accounts on comcast that can hold up to 256 MB each. PM/email me if you would like the space to host the movie

Well, it makes it a better thread if you make it as easy as possible for readers. So after seeing the documentary last night, I have to wonder if you made it in to the final cut. Which one were you?
