Sorry for my misunderstandin friend Thank YOU for making them, thank @thorstormlord for reencoding them

Thank you all for your efforts

I hope I didn't rub anyone the wrong way - This is one community I have the utmost respect for

I use handbrake, it's open source and quite powerful.

I've never used handbrake, i'll give it a go.
i've just gone through all the video's very quickly

1. i can notice a decrease in quality, so.. i'ts not Lossless.  HOWEVER...
Given that you reduced like 9.5GB to like 2.25GB i think it was.  that's bloody awesome and it's good enough to be still
watchable at the times when i'm showing scopes directly through the webcam  so.. WELL DONE MATE, Good job

Tbh I did encode them on a pretty powerless machine (Microsoft surface) but I can do them on a more powerful gaming pc if your find anything too inappropriate about them.
I'll watch them throughout and see if I find anything bad.i may recode that single one.
Anyways I don't mind hosting them indefinitely man.

Not at all, All good mate.
Now, he reduced almost 10GB to 2GB
Are you able to download them now ?

Man,
1stly the vids are being recoded.
2ndly I never really thought about it but yeah mega has a download limit for non users.but anyone can easily make a free account and enjoy.
3rdly after vids are recoded I'll find another cloud to host them for the people.
Until then a different IP computer will solve the download issue

1 i saw that... Cool

2. yeah neither did it,  Who would think huh ?

3. Ok sounds cool, send me the link when you're ready and i'll edit the URL

No man, from what i can tell they're fine. They are absolutely watchable, Most of the context takes place on VNC Viewer anyway and what needs to be explained gets explained anyway.
as for the rest of it that isn't VNC Based, it's not that bad.  JUST LEAVE IT AS IS, Unless someone complains or whatever . But i think it'll be fine
Ultimately this is about explaining how to use a person's scope to it's full potential, it's not about 4k Video resolution.  I think the video's are good enough.

Tomtektest is very good and he is a follower if the forum but he is against hacking the scope.

I watched his video, it's a very good video and shows the evolution of how the functions came about

Hello,

I was just wondering if there was a published 'hack'/upgrade for a Rigol MSO5072 with Firmware 01.03.02.02.  I was just about to follow the guide for 01.03.00.03 and then realized - I should stop! 

Many thanks

NO YOU SHOULDN'T STOP, You are incorrect.
Keep going

This is the publsihed upgrade for 1.3.2.2
What i mean is , This post is a post upgrade tutorial but it does include a link to the formal upgrade procedure.

As for your problem
if you are on 1.3.2.2 just download the file in the link ,which is the file to upgrade to 1.3.3.0 and you'll be fine,
There was no reason for you to stop.

if you want the file for 1.3.2.2 i can provide that if you like but.. i don't really see the point unless you are on a lower version
and want to upgrade only to 1.3.2.2 and then stay at that version. why would someone do that though, why wouldn't you just upgrade to 1.3.3.0 ?

if you want the upgrade file for 1.3.2.2   here it is
https://mega.nz/folder/A8cEgQRI#5FSoMrCurJi71T7VkRPgYQ

You will actually find both upgrade files at this location.

But Just understand that you can upgrade from 1.3.2.2 to 1.3.3.0 Using the file that is already provided.
Give it a crack . let me know how you go or if you have any issues

That's great and you're welcome.
By all means GO THROUGH IT SLOWLY and in our own time.
it's More important that you digest the information fully as opposed to going through it all in one day.

one of the reasons the video's were created is because i understand no newbie is going to digest this on 1 zoom call.
You need to watch it and re watch it and keep it as reference, it takes time to sink in.
you need to do a few experiments along the way so it sets solid in your mind.

so yes, Take your time , But learn it well.
