Information for non-members of Girls18
Today, I made available 4 full videos in 1280x720p Divx format for FREE download. You are welcome to hit our brand new auxiliary server and grab the vids here: www.g18hd.com/welcome_videos/ No password is required. These videos are from www.g18hdtv.com.
The idea of this crazy bandwidth-guzzling free offer is to give the new server a hard test run and give members a sneak-peak preview of the image quality of HDTV video.
The videos are encoded in Divx format at 6Mbps. Videos in 1920×1080 resolution are published in 8Mbps Divx format at www.g18hdtv.com and I am thinking even about offering videos in extreme 16Mbps data flow, which is equivalent of blu-ray disc.
These videos are also good for testing your computer, whether it is able to play HD videos. If your computer is brand new, you may need to install Divx codecs. Both Mac and Windows computers may need that. The Divx player and codec is available for free at www.divx.com When you download and install the player, it automatically installs the latest Divx codec, making the codec available also for other players. Once you install the Divx player, you can play Divx video using any player, even Windows Media Player that may have refused Divx video before.
If you computer is old, chance is that you already have Divx codec (but it always is a good idea to update to the last available version), but you may find out that HDTV video requires quite some processing power and memory to play smoothly. If you experience jerky playback of HDTV videos, reboot your computer and open your favorite player only. When you are watching HDTV video on a weaker machine with low memory, do not open any other programs, principally resource-intensive pieces of software like Internet Explorer, Azureus (Vuze), Word, Corel, Auto-Cad and other biggies.
G18 HDTV videos play just fine on my notebook with 1.6GHz single-core processor and 512MB memory, that I’m using for low-spec compatibility testing. Of course, on my top-notch quad-core with 4 gigs of RAM everything is a breeze even with several other programs open.
