Does the new 640x480 resolution apply to old videos? ie. Lost, Desperate Housewives? Or it's only for the new videos?

For example, if I download one of the Lost videos now, will it deliever it on 640x480?

I wonder if Apple will ever allow those of us with the 'old', low-res videos to redownload the newer, high-res versions? Probably wishful thinking, but one can never tell...

Steve never even mentioned the 640x480 resolution would apply to TV shows, he just said the movies are in 640x480.

One related question: Is the 640x480 resolution a new resolution to the 5G video iPod? What about the old ones? Are they in lower resolution?


Thanks.

From my understanding, all videos currently on the iTS are now 640x480. (Disclaimer: my understanding may be, and has in the past been proven to be, occasionally faulty.)

The 5G iPods, both the original and new models, appear to be capable of playing these new videos, though as the screen itself is the same (320x240), you won't notice a difference unless you hook it up to a TV (and even then, I'm not sure if it will play at full resolution).

Okay, so the newer 5G iPod just has a brighter screen than the older ones, the resolution remains the same, correct?

Yup, you're right, the video I downloaded is now in 640x480.
