    Actually, he asked me to help him out this year. He spends so much time and effort into his clips, this is the least I could do.

    dont worry about it most people dont know that you are trying to help r2k out...in the past people would post torrents from other sites before r2k did his to try to beat him...

    if people haven't noticed they are using the same tracker...

    probably will end up filling up my hard drive faster but i can just buy a new drive hds are cheap now....or god forbid erase the TBs of pr0n on the pc ;)

    the tracker is private, so anyone that has posted a video on there is doing it with my sanction...adn with my thanks.

    there is a difference between what batkins does, and what I do.

    I release ones that are smaller file sizes with the resulting loss of clarity, it makes it easier on those not on fiber optic lines to get them (and helps overseas where lots of people are on bandwidth limited internet access)

    this provides choices for the fans, not everyone is willing or able to download the larger files.

    win win.

    Also, another reason I use WMV is because a lot of people uses my clips to make mixes, and the most popular one I hear is Vegas, and AVI is not compatible with it and WMV is. Quality would be the same if I made it AVI anyways.

    batkins,

    I'm impressed by the image quality after I downloaded the SF3 put back dunk video you made the other day. I'm sure this one is just as good. I'm wonder if you will be able to make the whole game video available in HQ. I understand the file will be much larger than R2K but I truly want to enjoy the Rockets game in HQ. I look forward to your response.

    I was quite inspired by that stuffing T-Mac gave to one of the Hornets players (West, I think). He rejected it off the board and shouted afterwards. Always nice to see some conviction right off the bat.

    Awesome stuff batkins. I can already predict that mix video makers will absolutely love getting clips like this.

    Although I'm wondering about why you choose to release it as a rar file. It makes more sense to me to torrent it in a folder with the individual clips, instead of compressing it. That way, people can pick and choose the clips they want instead of downloading the whole thing. Also compressing the file doesn't make the file any smaller, so I can't think of any pros for raring the clips together.

    My god, some people in here are so sad, it's not some kind of competition on who's releasing games first, if someone was trying to release the game be appreciative of their efforts instead of trying to question their motive. Even if it from another site!

    I already do. :)

    I used a good amount of batkins' footage in my TMac mix. Too bad I needed old Steve Francis and Mike James clips (that I couldn't get from batkins) or else my entire mix would have been from him, and in HQ. Hopefully next time.

    Thanks a ton, batkins.

    I've tried doing that, but the file size is around 2-4 GBs, and that's really just too much to download and upload. Sorry, but one thing I am planning on doing is making a video every time one of our players score 30+ points of every basket that scored (in HQ).

    I dont think they realize EXACTLY how long it takes to download something that big.

    with basketball games coming every other day and on consecutive nights sometimes, the downloader of HQ games would still be halfway thru downloading the first one when the next one tipsoff...even with a fast connection.

    Ive downloaded something larger than 2G via bittorrent once...it took four days.

    there is a reason why I try to keep em CD sized...and it isnt because Im incapable of offering HQ vids.

    Dear R2K and batkins,

    Believe me, everybody on this forum appreciate your hard work very very much. Without your contribution and dedication especially R2K's, our Rockets fans' life won't be the same. But for a diehard fan like me, who doesn't live near Houston, who can only watch Rockets games on national TV (ESPN and TNT), whose local cable provider is one of worst in the country that doesn't offer NBATV and league pass, and who can't afford satellite, with the rapidly improved broadcasting technology today, I (I'm sure a lot fans who are in the same boat with me) am dying to see more Rockets game in HD or HQ. This desperation increases every day with the new season on the corner. And you are my only hope.

    I have two suggestions and I hope you could seriously consider:

    1) Is it possible you can find and work with more members in this forum to share your workload and make more videos available in HQ?

    2) If possible, you don't have to make the every game in HQ. Just selected games in which the Rockets give outstanding performance. Games such as winning games vs Mavs, Spurs, Suns, Lakers etc. they did in the last season. For selected great games, I'm sure a lot of fans are willing to spend 3-4 days downloading the huge video files because we want to treasure the moment.

    Please consider my request seriously. You are always the king members of this community.

    hey batkins,

    how come the aspect ratio is 3:2? shouldn't it be 4:3?

    good quality though. 3.5mbps bitrate! :eek:
