Xbox 360 High-Def Footage
by Steve Gibson, May 16, 2005 9:59pm PDTThe FileShack HD footage has begun! As we upload new titles they will be added to this list below! We're of course doing the HD footage for the Mercury members to start out but we'll be adding the slightly lower resolution videos (with an HD sample) for everyone else later on in the night. But hey we're hoping you guys sign up and support us doing cool stuff. You can expect more footage every day of the show but for now enjoy the Xbox 360 helping! Dont worry we've got Playstation3 stuff coming too... and of course PC games!

Showtime also shows some upconverts from MGM and (very occasionally) Paramount, but a great deal many of those are HD as well (and OAR, no less).
HBO shows NO widescreen upconverts. EVERY widescreen presentation on the network is in HD (which comprises about 90% of their material, most of them not OAR). The only upconverts you see from them are 4:3, usually video-tape sourced (or the occasional cheap-ass film).
Of course, all of them are VBR 14.3mbps max with 3:2 encoding that craps out whenever the scene gets too intense (lotta good it does then) and can end up looking worse (ie more compressed) in spots than the DVD, but I'll take 1920*1080 pixels per frame over that limitation.
Note: DirecTV does not qualify, as they downres all their 1080i sources to 1280*1080i and recompress the shit out of them (with no 3:2 encoding). Check http://www.widemovies.com/dfwbitrate.html for more info.
