Not sure if anyone has previously posted about this topic/videos, but I didn't realize (until today) that Microsoft was trying to push their HD technology with WMV HD. But I must say that the videos are exceptional and just go to show that HD footage can really be impressive. Download some of their WMV HD videos and get inspired.

Thanks Nathan. Welcome to the forum.

If you look in some of the HDV camera forums, you will occasionally find other WMV-HD samples. I posted a link to one I did in this thread http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=95212. That is a 720p video from a 1080i source.
