Tech note to HD enthusiasts:
The "720p HD" version of iFriends HD (available to HD-Showcase members, FanClub members, and in preview trailers),
is full 16:9, 720x1280 progressive-scan, end-to-end digital-signal
HD delivered at an average data rate of 6mbps. (By contrast, when you watch a DVD movie in a DVD player,
you are seeing an image only one-third as detailed, as DVD is 480x720). Unlike virtually all HD content
available to consumers today, via DirecTV, Dish Network, and your local cable system,
iFriends HD is originally captured in 720p HD, and the signal is never upconverted,
never downconverted, and never undergoes analog-to-digital conversion or digital-to-analog
conversion. iFriends HD utilizes WMV-HD (Windows Media 9) and the mpeg-4 codec.
Because 6mbps data rates are too substantial to reliably view in real time over public internet connections,
iFriends offers 720p HD media for download to your PC's hard drive, where you can play it back
as often as you like. iFriends HD does not currently utilize DRM. For
greatest enjoyment of iFriends HD, iFriends recommends a Windows-Media-Center Edition PC,
with a minimum 2.5ghz zeon processor, 384MB RAM, and a high-end videocard with at least 32MB ram on the
video card. Click here to learn more about
recommended configurations and iFriends' utilization of WMV-HD technology.
