With the new tv season kicking off, I'm seeing less and less HR HDTV releases. It's either the normal HDTV release with 2.0 sound or the x264 encoded 720p or 1080p releases.
For example, the last Heroes and Prison Break episodes are still not released in HR HDTV format.

Is this a trend developing? Because I've gotten quite attached to these HR HDTV releases. They offer 5.1 sound with a resolution that is good enough for a CRT television. I'm not interested in x264 releases because my X-Box won't play those and a 720p or 1080p release for a CRT is kinda pointless.

i like HR XviD aswell as im a few fps short of playing x264 without sync issues.
CTU have stoppped doing HR xvid which is a shame lets hope YesTV, 2HD and BiA can pick up the slack. The normal xvid from a hdtv source isnt as bad as dsr used to be but id still go for HR every time for my favourite shows Smile

Most of all primetime shows comes in HR..sometimes it takes 10 hours before they are released though.

Enjoy the new HR x264's


hm? seems like ctu switched to x264 during a running season. although there had been
Family.Guy.S06E01.REAL.HR.PDTV.XviD-CTU
Family.Guy.S06E02.REAL.HR.PDTV.XviD-CTU
...

besides, all the hr smallville of the current season from ctu had been x264 aswell and there's no hr.hdtv.xvid ahead i think. well, it looks like it's x264 from now on. x264 looks great and there's nothing wrong with it, but switching to a different container during a running season (i.e. famguy) is pretty lame.

Unfortunately the HR.x264 releases won't play fluently on an X-Box with XBMC, where the HR.XviD releases work just fine. If release groups start to switch over to x264, I'll have to find another media player.

Unfortunately not an option, when my wife watches Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives I want to play on my PC Laughing
