Special note to PC "power users": Did you know that some newer PCs can display HDTV-quality video and drive high-definition television sets? If you own such a PC, keep an oxygen canister nearby: The ultra-realistic and visually stunning HDTV videoclips of iFriends' most beautiful chathosts are so mesmerizing, it may literally take your breath away! Downloading and playing HD-quality videoclips requires a very fast internet connection and a very modern PC (minimum requirements: At least 2.5 ghz processor, preferably Xeon, with higher-end videocard [at least 64MB ram on videocard], and at least 384MB of Ram). To provide the fastest possible download speeds, HD footage is made available through through iFriends' unique content-delivery network, ensuring that your media file is downloaded from a high-speed internet server in your local geographic vicinity.

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.
