    Well let me first say thank you so much for doing this, I cannot clarify how awesome and selfless it is of you to do such a kind deed for the fandom (again, thanks for Animated Season 3), thanks a million.
    Preference; 720p, 24fps, and able to run on my Playstation 3 is pretty much all I want.

    Well the overwelming preference seems be for XVID for greater device compatibility.

    I'd rather a small watermark that doesn't distract from the screen, but definately add one - can't have folks taking your work without credit, especially since you're putting so much thought into it.

    Resolution-wise, I'm not fussed. As nice as possible, really. ;)  And I'd like to put teh episodes on my ipod & Xbox 360, so that's your call, I don't know much about that.

    Hi Dark Prime!

    I'm not certain if I ever got to thank you for the Animated uploads, so, if I didn't: thank you so much! :D  Your work was fantastic, and it's thanks to you I can still enjoy them! :D 

    As for my preferences, I have only one request, please, for the file format, AVI! It's the only file format that plays in any device I've ever tried. As long as I've worked with computers, not once, have I ever seen a computer turn down AVI. MP4 is nice too, but, it never seems to have AVI's quality, and ease of use.

    Thanks again so much for doing this with the new series! :D  I look forward to seeing your work! :D

    Same here, so I guess MP4 h264 or Xvid/AVI at atleast 720p and audio that will also be supported by the PS3 in addition to my PC so I can finally watch the HD version since we don't get the Hub in HD. :)  Whichever's easier for ya or looks best given your setup hehe, and a decent bitrate for the audio so that it remains as clear as possible. :) 

    Thanks in advance for real HD versions of these eps!

    Thanks again for doing this Dark Prime.
    As for my preferences, I don't care as long as I can watch them on my Mac.
    As for the watermark, do what you have to do as long as it is not too intrusive.
    (maybe a small logo at 5% tint throughout the entire run?)

    BIG BIG thanks for doing this man :thumb 

    I usually prefer MP4 or MKV, but MKV doesnt have the best compatiblity

    So I'd vote for 720p MP4/H264, I'm no expert on rendering video but it seems that xbox 360 and ps3 should both be able to run this ^_^

    About the watermarks, I'd say use them, but like others have said, if possible maybe it would be best to put them over the other logo or having it fade in and out at certain (not blocking anything) points.

    ^^ this

    Thank you so much for doing this. So many people don't have the money to splurge buying packages that include the Hub. Considering you are spending your own money to buy software to do this, I can't think of a kinder gesture a fan can offer to another.

    I prefer AVI, but MP4 is just as great. I have my own file type converter that works marvelously, as well as VLC, so any file type will work just fine...

    In regards to the watermark, do whatever you need to do to defend the work you did to publish these. that's not to say that we want it in the middle of the screen or anything ;D but do watcha have to

    Please please PLEASE use h264 rather than x264. x624 never seems to play right and the compression from h264 seems fine.

    h264 and x264 is the same, well not really, h264 is the codec, x264 is the encoder...

    Okay, but still, I always have issues playing back videos using x264 encoder.
