I just discovered the "full screen" button on the main page and I think it is really great, just when I switch to full screen the video gets all grainy at a screen resolution of 1920x1200 because it is not the high resolution version that you offer for download. Could you possibly add something like a "preference" setting that lets me watch the videos in full screen in high resolution without actually downloading them to my harddrive?

I'm not sure if that is possible with the current setup. The embedded videos are pulled from a streaming server that - I believe - hosts only one version. The other downloads - including the high res - are hosted separately. Does the full screen version re-scale at all on your setup? Do you have the same experience with youtube?

It rescales to some degree if you mean that it uses same colored pixels to fill up the missing space, it still becomes grainy though and I very rarely use full screen mode on Youtube, basically because it all gets very grainy when you go full screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 with videos that are meant for 320x240 or 640x480...

Click on the high resolution button to get the high resolution picture, but then tell internet explorer / firefox to open directly in Windows Media Player and it'll stream through that without bothering to wait or save it to disk.
