But I have to say, the concept of buying and owning reality TV episodes chills me to the bone.

Well I know they don't sell 16:9 and I know they don't sell encodes to maximum NON H.264 dimensions so they will interpolate up to a TV looking like DVDs (624x352) vs 320x240 (what Apple sells) so congrats on the masters, but I'm sure Apple is only selling 4:3 fuzzy SD H.264 junk.sartinsauce said:~Oh great transcoding master, I bow down before you.~
I'm glad these finally dropped. We've been working on this for weeks and I haven't been able to talk about it here, much as I wanted to.
Your quality is probably very similar, in fact, iTMS might have you beat. We started with uncompressed HD (SRW-5000s) and did all the mastering there. Apple's delivery specs are a little whacky, they must be planning SD content for the iTMS. I can't vouch for the final downres/transcode, Apple insists on doing that themselves, but I promise you the files we started with were superior to what you managed to get on your EyeTV HD (I didn't even know those existed, have to check that out later...).
Multimedia said:And by the way, an EyeTV 500 Digital Tuner captures the full 1920 x 1080p so it isn't significantly different than what you delivered to Apple.
Multimedia said:But you have a very cool job.You hiring?
Broadcast to a TERK TV5 antenna. Yes it captures discrete digital 5.1 audio as well as the analog Dolby Surround 4.1 in the encode.sartinsauce said:Not trying to be arguementative when I ask this, please don't get defensive. Where does your signal come from? Is it broadcast? Satellite? DigiCable? Does your EyeTV HD capture a discreet 5.1?
No but the signal includes analog Dolby Surround 4.1 in the stereo.sartinsauce said:Speaking of which, does an iPod have the capability of playing back anything more that a stereo audio signal?
