For example, which video would you rather watch?
This is a frame from the original, small-screen video:
This is a frame from the same commercial that I pulled off of cable TV and converted into a video suitable for computers or TV (BTW, it looks GREAT full screen on a TV...):
I sure wish I could get the channels that broadcast those Asian Pantene commercials, but I can't (and the good shampoo ads on domestic TV are few and far between ).
This is a general plea to anyone who captures and converts any video of long-haired beauties: PLEASE don't throw away all the stunning detail by down-sampling to get a small file size. We want to see the detail, in full size! Internet speeds always get faster, and what we once thought of as outrageously big files are now squirted around the internets all the time. Preserve the beauty for all time! (OK, I'll stop ranting now...for a while).
