Well, the size keeps shrinking. The very latest episode of The Fall (just downloaded using hvfhd1 but not yet watched) is down to 647Mb for 59 minutes of 1280x720@50fps, video bit rate 1403kbps. This is about 2/3 the size of the old flashhd GiP 1280x720@25fps downloads, which used to always run around the 1Gb mark for an hour long program.
