Oatmeal cookies and 6-ft high videos, huh?

I guess if you had whipped cream involved, it could have been for either.

Well, this has been an interesting weekend.

Bigger than life size. 6 feet is WAY WAY bigger than life size. We had to do some converting on some of the files, as XBox 360 only support certain formats, but what it supports works great, and the converting just takes time, and works fine afterwards. I highly recommend it as a simple and easy solution.

Aside from the conversion issue, it worked great, and we didn’t get dressed until it was time to go out and get dinner tonight.
We think that oatmeal cookies might have had something to do with the the not getting dressed, too. . . .

Thanks!

I’d definately like to hear more, and … glad it’s not just me that’s running into time constraints trying to get everything done lately. LOL

(And why does ‘lately’ seem to be another way of saying “as far back as I can remember?”) LOL

We just got the Xbox 360 and haven’t really played much video with it, but it is an HD source. We got a cheap Windows Media Center a while ago, so now I can watch it in the theater.. I never bought the extra software for the original Xbox to make it work with Media Center…

From the little we used it, it seems to work just fine. I’ll let you know more as we get time to use it more.

Well, on close-up shots, I’m quite sure it’s larger, but in a zoomed out shot on a huge TV, it’s probably more “normal size”. LOL

So you guys use the XBOX to play video from the computer onto the TV? Works well?

I’ll bring a tape measure, to see if it’s ‘larger’.

Actually I suspect it would be larger than life…

And yes, I have heard that both anchors and porn ‘actors’ are not that thrilled with the idea of everyone being able to see every little detail.

Has anyone heard that some TV anchors are dreading HDTV because it shows their lines and wrinkles more? Gesh. HD = vanitity to the next level. LOL

I’m not sure that you would really want to watch all of that stuff that big.

There goes our bandwidth, WE have a media center, and an X-box 360, which means it’s way to easy to watch this, uh, stuff, on the BIG screen.
