    hey BBsers -

    sorry for starting a new thread, i just couldn't remember seeing this brought up anywhere else; if so, lock this up, Clutch.

    a lot of us [me] have been checking for tickets since like Friday and have been out of luck.. and those SAME ppl also either will not be home during the game, or do not have TNT [b/c they are living modestly as law students].

    i remember hearing from Kenny Smith on Wednesday/Thursday morning on 97.9 [FM] The Box's Madd Hatta Morning Show that the game was gonna be shown w/o commercials b/c they don't want ppl making money off of Katrina. he said something to the effect that they'd be showing videos of what the players are doing or something, i dunno. he also said that we've never seen anything like this, what we're about to see today. players will be throwing stuff out into the crowd during the game, some other stuff.

    i only caught the tail-end of the interview - did anyone else hear it?

    anyway, back to my request. can anyone record the game and post it online as a torrent? i can't remember who the torrent members are [R2K?], but whoever y'all are and wherever y'all are at, this is a plea to you.

    thanks, guys. h0lla.

    NBA.COM has highlights of the game, the play of the night (T-Mac), the dunk of the night(T-Mac) etc.

    just do the best you can with this one....Ill send you a step by step doc file with my procedure if you are interested.

    I also capture in high bitrate(8000) mpeg2, then I use Gordian Knot to prepare the file and manual encode/filtering to xvid in Virtua Dub.

    I have been really busy all weekend, and didnt see this thread till just a few minutes ago...so sorry I couldnt get it done for yall.

    I have recorded the game from TNT HD and divx'd it. (Divx6 - 640x352) Where is the best place to upload it? The file is 504 mb. The quality it very good.

    edit: sorry.. didn't know someone already torrented it.
