RiffTrax Live Birdemic DVD/VOD?

[eegah]

I would be happy if they just released them as downloadable HD files!

720p download of BIRDEMIC Live coming next week.

Has this happened yet? Inquiring mind wants to know.

[Thrashalla]

It is definitely still happening - we're just being diligent about the device testing. Since we don't have access to certain things we're waiting to hear back from kind folks who do. We're all set now, just waiting for feedback on the testing. This week FOR SURE.

Thrashalla, does this mean there will be no official DVD sold?  it will be download only "forever"?

So, what container will it be?  MP4 (M4V), MKV?  I guess MP4 is supported by more devices.
Also how big is the file going to be?  I'd love to use my Roku for it but it would have to fit on a flash drive.  I guess 2nd choice would be streaming it to my AppleTV. 

[Thrashalla]

It's going to be an MP4 and it'll be just under 2 gb so that it's streaming-friendly.

Are we there yet?

[Thrashalla]

Still working on it.

Update: we've got it locked down and the final file is rendering out now. It's going to take a little while, but I'll let y'all know when it goes live.

Is the Birdemic streaming already higher res than the mpeg?  I tried out streaming over the weekend and making it full screen on my PC looked way better than the mpeg at the same size.

[Thrashalla]

Aye, sir. The streaming version is already 720p.

Hooray!

There is a download to burn for Birdemic Live already, my friend.

Already have that..
I guess glimpsing at the title of this thread made me forget the discussion was still on Birdemic

Is the only Dvix the 720, or is there a new link I'm not seeing?

The 720p HD version has not been released yet.

Howdy-ho!

I'm sure things have been busy at rifftrax hq, what with starting kicks and all, but was just curious if there was an update on the HD download file for Birdemic?
