Sufferfest

[SnappyPix]

Bad weather is prolonging my indoor training. :mad:
So I'm looking to make things more varied/painful!
Has anyone used the Sufferfest videos?
I'm thinking of burning them onto a DVD and watching them on TV (and have read on the website that they're optimized for iPods).
Has anyone done this and if so, do they play ok on a moderate sized screen (ie not too pixally?).

Watching it on a laptop/pc isn't really an option.


Thanks in advance.

I've got one coming in the mail. Will let you know in a week or two if you don't get an answer here. You can PM me.

What size is "moderate sized"? I have downloaded Fight Club and Downward Spiral and run them on a 15" laptop screen and I sometimes thought the resolution wasn't always brilliant then.

They are both very enjoyable and tough but I found one of the best things about them was being able to take my mind off the suffering by looking at the perfectly formed rear ends of the pro peloton.

Thanks everyone.

Look forward to hearing how you get on with them.
Tattiefritter, "moderate sized" is probably about a 25" TV (not sure of the actual size), bigger than a laptop, but certainly not widescreen. It's an old CRT TV that I'm using with a DVD in my spinning room. From what you've said though, it's probably pushing it, expecting them to be watchable at that size.

I've seen trailers on the tinterweb, and they certainly do look like they'd be quite distracting!
