They COULD have shot in 1080i, but my guess is they shot everything in SD to save a few hundred dollars on tape space. There are many reasons to stay away from HD--especially for a program shot-to-tape like the Gorge Games. Think if you had over 200+ hours of HD footage to capture, catalog, edit, and archive--- it would take days if not weeks. Tape space is one thing,-- time efficiency and hard drive space is another. Even the processing of simple dissolves and supers takes 4x longer than SD. HD looks great.. but when you crunch the numbers for most productions, especially long-form productions; HD sucks unless you have the budget to do it live. (Olympics/NFL come to mind) I'm not defending FOX, just being realistic...

Back on the video thing, it just has this super compressed look like its resolution doesn't match the TV or something. Maybe its my TV not dealing well with SD or Comcast doing some crappy compression.

Blame it on the editors. SD + HD + junior editor = FSN. What you are seeing is an interlacing problem. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Tue Aug 19, 08 8:41 pm     funkysub wrote: Here is quite a bit of gorge games footage - I don't think this got posted here. http://www.swingingcatfilms.com/gorgegames.html Haven't seen it all yet but what I have seen so far looks great, and I'd say for the most part looks better than what they are broadcasting on national TV        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
