There is also a link to a blog.
The blog I referred to is well worth a read, although it's a year old.

If we had a 25fps equivalent of HVFHD we wouldn't need HLSHD or FlashHD.
There are two modes at 960x540. HVFSD is 50fps and HVFvhigh is 25fps. A

However the 'American in Paris' snippet file I fetched gives no sound at
all from VLC! The video looks fine, but its a silent film! 8-)
An American in Paris (p044lmdc) plays fine here with VLC. I used --tvmode
hvfhd and it downloaded hvfhd1.

It may only be depreciated as far as the BBC is concerned. Although the BBC is
now moving towards p
It could be that when a missing segment is found, the servers log it as an
error. Then when they review things later, they go back and correct what's been
flagged up. As you say it could also be reports from the BBC and users that
causes Akamai to go back and fix it.
