David Cook on AI7 in HD
These are HD videos of David's performances and other related clips from AI Season 7 uploaded to both sendspace and megaupload. Fellow board members khatoun and waving feather helped with this huge project.. These files are quite large and will take 10 to 20 mins to download but you won't be disappointed with them. The quality is amazing. I've burned many a DVD using them and they play beautifully on my HD tv using an upconverting DVD player.
"Burning to DVD" information: Not all of these files have been converted so if you're using a program which doesn't convert prior to burning you may not be able to make DVDs with those files. I'm going to indicate "converted" beside the clips which you should be able to burn with most programs. I used this freeware to convert them. Eventually all the clips posted will be converted but that will take some time and posting vids you can at least view on your computer seemed the way to go for now.
"How to view" information: If you're having any trouble viewing them you might need to download/install additional codecs. Jen recommends using K-Lite Codec Pack
Find links for iPod-friendly mp4s of performances and group numbers (courtesy of khatoun) at end of this post.
When a clip is available for download the title will become a link.

Unfortunately the HD clips posted above aren't iPod-friendly but khatoun has uploaded all his performances and the group numbers in mp4 format to sendspace for those who want to put them on iPods.
iPod-FRIENDLY MP4s:
performances only: http://www.sendspace.com/folder/mp2s0b
group numbers: http://www.sendspace.com/folder/dafa2b
As the file these clips are taken from is quite large we decided against posting it in its entirety. If you are looking for any AI7-related DC vids which you don't see here please pm me or khatoun and we'll see if we can provide you with links for them.
Also, please send me a pm if any of the downloads disappear or are wrongly linked and I will re-post them.
If any of you is still having trouble viewing or burning them after following the instructions posted above I might be able to help you out or hook you up with someone who can.
Enjoy!

Billie Jean
Here's a link to The Billie Jean performance with the pre-packaged lead in as well as the judges comments. I don't know anything about converting to anything though, it is as I found it. Hopefully it will be useful to people though. I know Billie has become hard to find.

A whole bunch of Cookie goodies can be found here...

Thanks for the TS files!
Thanks so much! I have a question: Are the iPod files converted directly from the TS files? Thanks!
Happy Happy Thanks Thanks
Thanks so much for these iPod downloads. I can use my iPod at work during down times so this really makes me happy.

"I try really hard not to put people into boxes" David Cook
WOW and Help
This is truly astounding. I am downloading as fast as I can! Polarbrr, I have sent you a PM. Thanks!
Billie Jean Download
The spam filter will no longer let me edit anything in the blog so I haven't been able to replace the corrupt Billie Jean download with one that works so I'm putting it here in the comments hoping y'all will see it.
Note: The downloads on this site take much longer than on megaupload or sendspace - anywhere from 2 to 4 hours.

David Cook on AI7 in HD
thanks SO much
Boy, do I need these -- I live in fear that this stuff is going to disappear on YouTube, like most of the BJ performances already did. I'm not where I can do this right now, but I'll get on it ASAP -- this is a WONDERFUL gift to everyone here -- thanks SO much for doing this!

Thank you!
You guys are my heroes! These are awesome, and now they are on my ipod! I can't thank you enough!
You're all very welcome!
khatoun and Waving Feather & I all agreed that these were too good to be hidden away on our computers when we could share them with our fellow board members and anyone else who happens to wander in here. David's AI run was incredibly special and we all remember it vividly. And still love to talk about it - as evidenced by all the tumbling down the rabbit hole that's been going on. lol
Just seemed like the right time to post them.
If you're able to burn them to DVDs do it! There's no loss in quality when viewed on a big screen tv.

I am me and you are you.
Thank you!!
These are awesome quality...thanks for taking the time to upload them all.
We Work for David Cook - LOL!
So happy to hear these clips are wanted! But - bad news. Megaupload has quit working for me. Not sure why. It worked just fine for Happy Together and the clips from IGB. I'll get it sorted out but in the meantime I'll post smaller clips using sendspace which thankfully isn't giving me any action.

I am me and you are you.
Polarbrrr and khatoun rock my world
I used to have all the performances in HD until my crappy Dell lappy bit the dust and ate them all in the great hard-drive crash of 2008. Now I am happily downloading again as fast as they are posted, and will immediately burn multiple copies to DVD so I am never without them again. I especially love that you are including the video packages and judges comments, since the iTunes versions I bought to have on my iPod do not include them. Thank you thank you thank you for performing this valuable service to Cook's fans!
Thank you!
YAY! Thank you guys so much! Can't wait for them to be ready! DING!
