    I was updating my profile today on NBA.com and there is a new section where you could download games for a small price. Do any of you guys have good experience with this? Are these in HD format? I am really pumped about this because I really want to purchase the Rockets 22-game win streak against the Fakers.

    Thanks in advance.

    NBA.com should do a season online pass. I know I would spend money to get one of those, but at the moment you can only get it through a sports pass.

    The quality of the videos are good though, definitely worth any "small price."

    heh


    the only problem with that is that the tracker is worthless without seeders and peers.

    I don't have the initial vids on my machine anymore(clearing the drives for next season) so the only way that would work is if others that had them would put them up on their clients.

    that reminds me, I need to do a poll to see if people still want me to release full games next season.

    I will seed it if someone wants that game. It's on my computer right now because I am still working on my 22 game win streak video (which will probably be released in the next couple of days~!~ whoohooo)

    In fact if there is any game from last season you would like, now is the time to ask, because like R2K I will be pulling mine off the hard drive before the new season as well.

    I know I want you to release them... or at least send just them to me because you love me so much! ;) heehee

    oh hey i was going to ask you if you have R2K's clips from the streak. I have a few games but i lost a bunch when one of my smaller HDs crashed and I had to get a different one. You think you can burn them on disc and snail them to me? I'll pay for all the costs, it probably be quicker than you trying to seed them all (if all the trackers for the games are still online) or if you are still coming out here in oct then I can grab them from you then

    Yeah, do you want just the highlight clips or do you want the extra segments and stuff that were on at the end or the full games and preposts?

    I will be out there the first weekend in October so I could give it to you then! :)

    I am trying to figure out what my schedule is going to be like in LA. I didn't want to have to rent a car, but I am thinking it will be easier to do that than using public transport.

    I also have the entire last season (well... except for game 6 vs Jazz), so if anyone needs any game, I'll seed it.

    thats is one of the last things on my drive, I never edited it at all. The entire capture is sitting there taking up 13G of space.

    I will NOT be clipping highlights from it, but I *might* edit and encode the game itself just for archival purposes.

    Will do! Would you rather have it as a dvd to watch or as avi files to copy?

    I am pretty sure I will just do the car thing. I am normally pretty good about driving in a strange city and maybe I can steal my dad's navigator!

    one game that I would really like to see again is the February game against the Kings, where Artest nearly brought them back to victory single handedly, until Novak made the game winner. The highlights obviously only have the Rockets in them, so now that Ron's a rocket, I'd really like to see that game again. I'd appreciate it if someone could seed that.

    sorry for the double post, but I remember that the 11-28-07 game @ Suns is also one I've wanted to watch again, if possible...

    the site for the tracker index appears to be down for me, anybody else experiencing this?

    also, since now is the time, i am looking for the last 12 wins of the streak if anybody feels like being generous. i have all the games prior to that seeding for anybody.
