Mplayer Adds Sorenson v3 To the Linux Roster

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the celebrate-good-times-come-on dept.

prmths writes "mplayer now plays sorenson V3! This is the last major format that was unplayable under linux and it has now been conquered! They also added the 2xsai algorithm for video scaling. This will let you increase the resolution of non-photo-like videos (anime/cartoons) by 2 times -- it's not a blurring algorithm -- 2xsai actually guesses edges and fills in the pixels."

  1. I just found out some very sad news by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    In doing some geneology on my family history, I found out my grandfather's brother died at Auschwitz. Very sad...seems He got drunk one night and fell out of his guard tower.

    They are both butt buddies. They are both desirous of little Mexican boys' brown asses. They are both cum gobblers. They are both limp wristed. They both like licking rectums. Strange pair they are.

    Nah. Why should they?

    Well. If you don't defend your copyright. You loose it. If someone gets to reverse engineer your code and you let them. Everyone can.

    That fat little git second from the left is on my personal shitlist.

    Watching you guys continuously playing catch-up to Windows and Mac and being proud of it.

    Then to learn that integrating the latest catch-up feature requires about 15 complicated steps that only a true computer geek could possibly comprehend to get working.

    Much chuckling is to be had at you're expense.

    Linux development steps:

    1) Steal something from someone else (codec/fonts/dlls/ideas)
    2) Hack and slash till it barely works and requires the user to perform 15 complicated maneuvers to get working (maybe).
    3) Ignore reality and rejoyce that you are bettter than anyone else.

    This is FUNNY! (But sad, because it's true)
