New Hi Def Video Format

Ok guys we are changing the video format our tutorials are done in. The new format will result in far higher quality video.

We'll be using the H.264 codec which on a PC you can view with VLC player or by simply installing the direct show filter for H.264 for this I suggest (https://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/) after installing this you will be able to play back this format in any media player. Most of you will be able to play this back with no need for any extra software.

For the Mac you will be able to view the new format in Quicktime or in Mplayer.

Please give us your opinion on this new format I'm posting a sample below from our upcoming sand speeder tutorial. I think you'll agree this is a huge improvement.
