I just uploaded four HD screen caps to the Blue Sun Room. Sorry about leaving the Quicktime frames on, but the GIMP won't load after updating to Tiger so I couldn't crop them. Warning: They're big.

WOW!!!!!

That's amazing!
1280 x 550 pixels and only 108 MB!

The downloadable version must be even better... 129 MB.
It's 1920 x 816 video! 30 or 24 fps, I'm not sure.

Both are found here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/serenity.html

I guess QuickTime 7 and HD is a bigger deal than I knew. This is .H264 video, same as featured on next-generation DVDs (no matter what format they go with).

Slower machines (G5 processor recommended) won't play at full framerate but the detail's amazing.

You do NOT need Mac OS 10.4 Tiger for this--you can use 10.3 Panther (updated to 10.3.9) as well. A Windows version of QuickTime 7 is due "very soon."

If you don't have Tiger, downlaod QT7 here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download
(QT Pro is optional... among other things it lets you play borderless.)

And fireflymovie.com posted a really high quality frameless screen grab:
http://www.fireflymovie.com/news.html
(Look for "screen shot" on that page.)

And here's a link to the biggest NON-QuickTime 7 version for everyone else - downloadable without needing QT Pro:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/universal/serenity/serenity_ifs2.mov

(But that one's not High Definition.)

The audio seems to be sort of out of sync on that version.

80mb very high quality Xvid version (will play on Windows) here:

http://www.WhoIsRiver.com/trailer

You need "Xvid" (go google) to play.

If you have a slow PC, it will jerk and the sound will go out of sync I'm afraid. It's just over DVD quality - old PCs won't cope with it.

If you've got a fast enough PC-here's a link to the steps needed to play the 1080p version of the trailer:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=5561487&highli
ght=mkvtoolnix#post5561487

Takes about 5 minutes (max) to do the steps, not really a big deal-trailer looks awesome in 1080p!!

I noticed a similar issue with the 1080 HD trailer, it seems "choppy" where as the streamed 720 version looks smooth... hmmm... maybe it's just my Mac MINI doesn't have enough horsepower?
