Re: BBCs iMP Trial Extended

["keyvan2r" <keyvan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have now managed to download the HD program "the planets - Terra
Firma". It's the first one of this series I managed to get
downloaded - very interesting, if you're into planetory evolution.
It took about 4 hours to get, 49 minutes long and 982Mb. It's VBR
encoded at an average 2.8Mb per second.
The picture is good, but as Ian has mentioned it gets a
little "blocky" due to the high compression. It might be my LCD's
speed. The horizontal res. is odd! My monitor is 1900x1200 so I
expect to see black bars due to 1080, but I also have bars on the
sides! I am wondering what HD res. is being used by IMP? Is it
1900x1080 or something else?
