Hands on with AOL's high-quality video downloads - impressive!

[Bob Crabtree]

Open trials of the high-quality service – HI-Q Video – are already underway with 100 or more downloads available of music videos and trailers for movies and video games. AOL says that images are intended to be of good enough quality to be viewed full-screen on PC monitors or on TV sets able to show PC interfaces. Much to our surprise, AOL seems not to be exaggerating – the quality of the clips we downloaded is remarkably good.

To see how good, check out the grabs in this write up.

This is something you really ought to try.

does sound very interesting, might have to take a look. I've not read anything else about this, but i hope they have the ability to schedule the downloads for late at night or something, that way it wouldn't affect my download caps

No such feature that I can see. I think you'll have to start any downloads manually.
