Ripper Street for example.
File sizes are about 1.15 GB per hour.
All Ripper Street have been 1280x720 from iPlayer
File size is not an indication of pixel dimensions, it is the bit-rate
which determines file size
Agreed. All HD content available on the main iPlayer service is 1280x720p25.
HOWEVER, the HD programme material available if you have a Sky+HD box
... is 1920x1080i25 (I think, you get combing artifacts when you hit
pause but this might also be because the Sky+HD boxes max out at 1080i
on HDMI).
So, either BBC provides a feed exclusively to Sky's on-demand platform
just for us lucky Sky customers, or there is another unadvertised
version feed only available for specific devices or proxied through
specific gateways. When I realised I Wiresharked some traffic as I
downloaded a file, it was coming from a CDN. More investigation required.
