Maybe people wouldn't be so impatient if the old version of the site hadn't been taken down...

What if there couldn't have both site running at the same time?

If that is the case, they're doing it wrong Smile

At least there's 'someone home'. I appreciate what a headache it must be to recapture the clips, but glad they're upgrading to 2017 standards.

I'm actually quite excited about this. Considering how uncommon 50fps uploads are, and how lovely it is to see old pres clips in all their glory, this is going to be something to look forward to.

I'm slightly confused by this. Will any of the source material actually be at 50fps..?

Hopefully I'll get this right but it's typically 50i, but mostly when it's converted from interlaced to progressive during capture it loses the smooth, fluid look, because the upper and lower fields of the interlaced picture that originally count as two frames (2 frames x 25 = 50fps) are displayed at the same time as one progressive frame (1 frame x 25, well, you know). But it seems that most people don't have the facilities to capture anything other than progressive 25 fps, which is why it's relatively uncommon.

Example of 50fps:






Select '720p50' or '1080p50' in the settings on the player. Mimics the 'fluidity' of TV (50i) for videos that are encoded in 50fps.
