Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

No less than a few hours ago on Twitter, Bungie mentioned that the ViDoc will be "[about] an hour long." I'm assuming that it will be in very high quality; meaning that a high quality, hour-long video (we'll call it a movie), will make the size rather large (~1-2GB). With that in mind, I don't see how YouTube (or whatever video outlet Bungie uploads to) will be able to handle many thousand (or potentially more) streaming requests at once without drastically increasing the time it takes for one person to fully load the video. I'm hoping Bungie uploads multiple copies of the video to different websites, or at least considers making it available for download.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Knowing Bungie and ViDoc's, they'll definitely have one for download. I wonder if they (Microsoft & Bungie) will release it on the Marketplace though, with the previous Halo ViDoc's.

I'm hoping they let us watch it on the xbox.
I have not considered that they would upload it to the Xbox Marketplace. Now that you mention it, it would be rather convenient; it would be nice to watch it on the hi-def television.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

In typical fashion, the ViDoc will be released in multiple sizes and formats for your eyes' pleasure.

Don't be concerned, I'm sure it's going to be just fine.
Maybe there will be a little delay and slow streaming at first but you'll get to see it eventually. It's just a vidoc, sure I am looking forward to it, but it's nothing to get worked up about.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I want to download it and put it on my phone.

Sounds good, thanks Halcylon.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

I expect it will be up for download.
