UPDATE: Videos removed to make server space for new videos

I have decided that HPAW will be leaving the proprietary, Microsoft owned WMV format we have used since we have had “high-quality” versions.

H.264 will be a major increase in downloadable quality and I am very excited to see how we can use it to improve HPAW.

Starting with the Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Marathon all future videos will be released in three formats:

1. High-Quality H.264 for viewing on the PC.

2. Low-Quality H.264 for viewing on a iPod or PSP (Will not be used in Marathons).

3. Google Video for those to lazy, can’t or just don’t want to download the videos.

To view the new format you may need to download the proper codec. I recommend either the CCCP or the K-Lite Codec Pack or as King of Iceland suggests the VLC Media Player

If you have problems with H.264 video our staff will be glad to help you, well maybe not WorldGone Awry.

I have filmed another teaser for the Resident Evil 4 Marathon in this new format which I would like to have everyone test and give feedback on the quality of the video.

And for an added bonus I’m throwing in HPAW’s first ever High-Def 720P video to show where H.264 MIGHT take us. Please note there is no game sound and I threw this together very fast.
