yeah but the halo 3 saved videos are not actually saved as “videos” (mpg, avi, wmv) on the xbox 360 harddrive. From what I have read they are saved as code that redraws the actions when that “halo 3 video” file is played by the game engine aka theater. So the saved video files are not actually rendered videos. The halo 3 saved videos are just saved data like coordinates of what is where at points in time
and when you use the theater player it renders that code into actual visual “video”.
Thats part of the reason why you cant download the videos saved in your bungee account as video files. They are not video files in the normal sense. The other reason is the bandwith would be expensive if the millions of people were downloading clips.
