1. Length of time to actually download the file =#FF0000= 18mins

2. What media player you used to view it in =#FF0000= Totem (Linux)

3. Rate the quality of picture from 1 - 5 (1 being very poor 2 poor 3 watchable 4 good 5 very good) =#FF0000= 3 (as mentioned already, large black border around video)

4. Rate the sound quality (perhaps unfair for this one as I had a switch turned on which over fed the crowd noise) using the 1 - 5 system as above. =#FF0000= 4

Like I said the sound isnt really an issue normally if some eeedyot (me) presses the right buttons.

Download approx 18min Picture Quality 2 Sound 2 - As you said Fred possible to make it better as it has been before Just an ask - what is it Fev uses different to you as it seems a lot better quality - you can distinguish faces of players better and the quality seems overall better For example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nibv9GjaBMs Be kind with your reply

A £3k HD camera for a start.
HD uploaded to YouTUBE is far less compressesd a typical game would be around 1.5GB whilst my upload to is around 300MB, thats why the DVD are better quality uploads to youtube take me around 12mins instead of the approx 45 it would take to upload a larger file but as I film in digital and not HD the picture is not as good anyway raw AVI from the camera on a game is around 6GB and compressed to around 3.7GB to fit onto a DVD in HD raw would be around 9GB. (all approx's of course).

18 mins-ish
VLC
picture-3
sound-2

Still better than 99% of streams though.

Don't confuse streaming with downloads though Jonny, streaming has to be ATM worse as it's like trying to get a rope through the eye of a needle due to bandwidth etc.. where as downloading is just that you download the entire file to play at your own pace and time, If we had a decent internet connection from the gantry I would try streaming a game but alas.
Wigan have spent £250K on servers and equipment etc.. I'm trying to provide a similiar service on virtually £zero but I need the help of people on here to judge the product.
I will be doing the same thing with the Wigan game later on this evening or some time Wed and again I will ask peoples assistance.
