Had soooooo much fun re-rendering hundreds of clips from some of my older sites to bring them into the modern age, I decided to keep going. Most of my post-wrestling sites started out with DV tape footage and then moved to HD around 2012, so everything is already digital, but given the severe bandwidth restrictions that a lot of people had a decade ago, I tended to keep the file sizes fairly low so there were fewer problems with downloads completing when the customer had crappy internet. Now that broadband is much more widespread, it makes sense to upgrade the old stuff wherever possible. Fortunately, I always save every raw file as well as rendering the edited version to the same size as the raw footage. The original distributions files were "down-sampled" to smaller dimensions and bit-rates to fit the internet limitations of the day, but I always had it in the back of my mind that someday I would reissue everything at full resolution.
For Wamfinger.com, that day is here, with the old WMV files being converted to mp4 at a higher bit-rate, and the 720p HD files being redone as 1080p. I dropped the prices on the SD files too.
Now here's the fun part. I also redid part of the Mothership's reauthorization system so I can deal with just one store at a time. If you have ever bought anything from Wamfinger and want to download the newly rendered larger/better versions, just contact me at
customerservice@themothership.net
from the email address you used when you made the purchases, and I'll renew them for you for a couple of days. (sorry. if you used a fake email when purchasing, you are out of luck)
Everything is waiting for you at Wamfinger.com and I hope to start getting some new footage shot one of these days soon.
Love you, too
that looks really hot and fun!
