    Oh my god this is the coolest thing!! Bungie has finally released the beta for their Render-to-Video service! Basically, if you bought Bungie Pro before today, you can now go to any Film or Film Clip (under 10 minutes long) in your File Share and spend "Bungie Points" to get it rendered to either Standard or High Definition, and watch it directly from Bungie.net, or download it to your computer as a WMV.

    Standard Definition costs 1 BP (Bungie Point) per minute of video, whereas HD costs 5 BP per minute of video. You start off with only 2 points, and can only get more points during the beta by the automatic accumulation of 2 points you get per month. However, you are only eligible for the beta if you bought Bungie Pro before today, not as a part of the Mythic Map Pack bonus. The reason for this is that Bungie wants to have as small of a Beta community as possible, so that the servers don't melt with all the new data. That's why they restrict it to Bungie Pro buyers only.

    Anyways, I don't think you can embed Bungie Pro Videos yet, but in case you don't have Bungie Pro, or are curious how it works/how good the quality is, here are my two Bungie Pro Rendered Videos (in Standard Definition. No one has enough points to use HD yet.):

    Denied!

    Return 2 Sender

    Untouchable +4!

    EDIT: If it denies you permission to watch the clips, simply hit "Back to Service Record Main" and go to my File Share and watch it from there, which it allows you to do 100% of the time. Yes, it's a stupid workaround, but remember, it's just a Beta, and there are going to be little glitches like this.

    NEW EDIT: Bungie has just enabled Bungie Pro Video viewing for everyone! Enjoy!!! You still can't render your own videos if you're not in the Beta, but now at least you can watch them.

    Because you didn't buy Bungie Pro, you got free Bungie Pro with the Mythic Map Pack you bought... and not even everyone bought the Map pack and they got it from either Halo Wars or some contest
