Question: is it supposed to have blurred motion or is that a "blend fields" deinterlacing issue? Something like a cubic interpolate might look better - although criticising stuff on YouTube seems a little unfair so apologies for that. ;-)
That's definitely clearer, but there's still a major problem with the field order or deinterlacing because there's lots of motion ghosting. This is how it looks on my end:
(The new free Universal Binary Flip4Mac WMV plug-in for QuickTime is completely invisible, makes WMV look like any other QT :O).
Ben, I just didn't think you made your point as nicely as in the first video, where I think MS really missed the boat on getting the message out re what the Media Center can do (when it isn't busy messing up people's applications, I had to return one PC I bought with this for admin).
(You also seem to have missed the recent upsurge in game development for Macs. LOTS happening there now, including new tools that make it possible for game developers to release Mac versions at about the same time as their PC versions.)
