According to the seeding guidlines I would have to reencode these to DVD MPEG-2 and lose a lot of quality to seed them here. This doesn't seem to jive with the preserving the quality for archival purpose theme. Any input? Could we start allowing transport streams for hi-def as the video equivalent of 24/96?

I agree, and would eagerly download any HDTV captures seeded here.

The analogy with 24/96 audio is a good one - not everyone has hardware capable of playing that resolution audio, but they can always convert to a lower resolution until such time as they do.
