In October, 2007, Cody Miller began sending in video-captured cutscenes from Halo 3. As before, we'll be offering all the scripted scenes available in the game. There will always be 4 flavors of each cutscene; a large (856x480) and small (428x240) version of both QuickTime and WMP9 encodings. Grab the one that best fits your situation.

As of late June, 2008, we've added HD (1280x720) versions of these cutscenes, encoding also courtesy of Cody Miller. The QuickTime versions are (for the first time) encoded in H.264; the reasoning is, if your machine is robust enough to handle HD footage in the first place, you can definitely handle H.264. If there's nothing in the HD boxes, it means we haven't released that cutscene yet. We ask you to be reasonable - don't try to download every video at once. We have several mirrors (the HD links are actually randomized), but you can still easily overwhelm us by not playing nice.
