Yeh 7.1 would rock, I guess I will have to look at where the speakers have to go to see if its feasable for a future upgrade.

I am thinking of uploading in the DL club 720p fantastic four at 4 gig.

Why ?

It is one of the best movies I have seen so far to show off 720p, is quite a small size at "only" 4 gig and I have seen it run smoothly on a P4 3.2 GHZ.

EDIT: Maybe not tho.

Preliminary response of the UHDV was somewhat negative. This was not because of the lack of the promised technology, but more in the fact that it was too good. Some viewers got motion sickness when viewing the video image because the image was so close to reality.[1]
18 minutes of uncompressed UHDV footage consumes 3.5 terabytes of data and 1 minute of footage consumes 194 gigabytes.

Think of poor old saddie downloading that with his 56k modem.

That would be priceless. If he starts downloading now he'd be able to show it to his grandchildren...if I was him I'd include it in the will tho. "And the first one who gets to watch the video..."
ROTFLMAO

There are a few bad ones mostly with audio synch issues that are easily fixed.

I had the same problem with spider man 2, but its a codec issue (if its the same version that I downloaded), try updating your mpeg2 codec and I bet that it will play perfectly !

163" is just insane Jabba.. and your almost terrabyte collection of HD rips is ridiculous!!

but it's too bad you're only running at 720p with a screen that size..

Check this out if you're planning on upgrading
