Halo National Championship films - update
Okay, the plan had been to release one segment of this program every couple of days; the first one was released on Thursday. However, yesterday we were contacted by one of the competitors, Bigsauce, who provided us with much higher quality mpeg versions of the films. (G4 provided these files to all competitors.) I'm currently in the process of converting these to a more web-friendly size... but it's slow going (there's a lot of crunching to do). Likely what will happen is that later today we'll release segment 2 (the second semifinal match) as planned... but with the new versions as the base, rather than the original VHS-ripped versions. At the end of the cycle, we'll re-release the first segment, for those who strive for completeness; folks who just wanted to see the vids can pass on it. I must say that getting a hand from one of the sixteen finalists (he placed 4th, overall, out of the more than ten thousand competitors who played in the HNC) simply rocks. Okay, back to re-encoding... (Louis Wu 12:32:18 UTC)
