LOL...sorry...was in a rush to go eat with the guys and forgot to set it right. It's fixed. 
But I'm sure, if one wanted to, one could probably download Bushwhacked off the net somewhere and watch it.

If I wasn't stuck on a 56k I might take you up on that. :(
Except watching it on my TV looks a whole lot better. :)

Actually, what a lot of people do is to download the the mpeg video, re-encode it, and burn it as a VCD or SVCD. In that format, you can watch what you download on your TV using a DVD player that also plays VCDs.

Most non-US brand DVD players support the VCD format as well as play MP3s. Toshiba, Sony, Aiwa, Samsung, Panasonic, Hitachi, etc. all sell DVD players under or about $100 that plays a wide variety of format. Worth the investment I think.

OK, I stand corrected. My local Circuit City sell a bunch of VCD-capable DVD players. They just don't place a lot of emphasis on this feature in their ads.

You can get a VCD/CD/MP3/DVD and practically everything player for US$60.00. Last I checked 5 of 6 models that Priceclub sold had pretty much all the formats emblazoned on the front of the DVD player...
VCD formats are actually pretty big with folks who do digital capture and recording. Like Haken said, after they get the capture on their HD, they recut the format and burn to VCD either for archive or for watching. Here in the mainland too. Besides, how can anything be a first in Hawaii? It takes 3 days for UPS "overnight" mail to get there, hehehe. I am glad that at least they have solved the problem with the programming for MTV and HBO being a week behind all the damn time.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread acts as further proof that Haken is *not* some dodgy guy working for Fox; he's promoting pirating.

I'm promoting the free flow of technical information. What people do with that infomation is up to them. I'm simply informing the masses as to what can be done with the available technologies that are at our disposal.
