Why list "SD" on every bump?

For the past several months, you've been putting "SD" on every bump title, and it seems like the eventual "upgrade" to HD bumps doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.

Really, what's the point if there's only going to be one version?

Well, sir desperate, we have been making progress. It's a bit of a site overhaul :-D But seriously, we have some HD videos already and what seem to be regular contributors, we need to test out the encoder though because the current one is SD based and both resizes and stretches the video out of AR. Among many other things.

Oh ye of little faith.

There's some links to HD bumps to be found if you know where to look.

Just don't try playing them in QuickTime Player.  It doesn't work that well.

Here's a screencap of an HD bump from one of our latest tests:

(Size is supposed to be 1280x720, blame Photobucket)

No, there's not "going to be only one version" forever. In fact, the SD ones are temps, I suggested posting them for people to be able to see the bumps and not be left in the dark before the upgrade's done. At the moment, it's pretty certain most material will be replaced when the site relaunches.

Please try to remember that all the work put into this website is volunteer work. While we'd love to overhaul the site in 15 minutes, real life obligations do not permit this. We're all as anxious as you when it comes to BW 4.0!
