    Very nice, Eivind. But next time come on over and appear on camera instead of just narrating.

    Why not a high quality download? - why not using the Blip.tv so we can download and watch offline the video?

    Please no Youtube, since we can’t download the original and watch it offline.

    Hi Casainho,
    is the H.264 download not good enough?
    we dont have higher res versions, but I can try using other transcoding settings if you dont think it is good enoough… This increases file size/download time, of course :)

    This video won’t download through the iTunes feed. It even fails if you go to the AVR Television page in the iTunes Store.

    Here is the long and ugly link to the file in the iTunes Store:

    Hi! :D
    AVRTV is awesome. I would love if the videos were HD Quality. Maybe if you guys had a low res and high res version. You guys have obviously invested in some production quality with the AVRTV intros and what not, you should take it to the next level! HD quality video!

    An excellent video, if i dare to say, maybe the best so far!
    When is the next one coming, about the power factor correction controller?

    I wish there were more videos like this one with real life applications. You know Discovery(TM) style
