I recorded it in MPEG 2 format using a Pinnacle USB thing and their associated program Studio 10.

Any suggestions??

Otherwise I'll be posting it up as 40 MB WMV files. Sorry to eat up your hard drive SOAP.

I am working on a batch encoding script that will turn non-WMVs (such as MPEG2s (this is how we're getting Israel)) into pretty little xVids with zero labor. I am presently running into a little bit of trouble with the xVids playing back, which is weird because FLVs converted /from/ the xVids play just fine. Give me another week or so to work it out.
