iTunes Video: The Lost Download

ipodlost1.jpgI tested the video download part of iTunes (not on the video iPod, just on my PC)…the buying process is easy as ever, same as the usual iTunes buying process. I downloaded the first episode of this season’s “Lost” ($1.99 for the show), but it took close to two hours. not sure why, since my PC and cable modem connection was fast like usual. So the promised 20 minutes for 45 minute show may not necessarily be the usual experience.

Anyway, the video has been optimized for iPod screen viewing, so it will look best in the small screen size (the pic on the right)…anything above the normal size and it will starting getting blurry. I think this is a mistake: Apple should give two options: one iPod optimized and the second one for full screen PC viewing (which will be a larger file, of course).

Other than that, the process was smooth and the experience is great…now if only the library gets bigger. I want HBO, BBC and well, everything else…
