I'm very curious to see what comes about from the myth-vid branch of development. The devs are making a solid attempt at moving away from XvMC and using the 3D engine, as that's what nVidia does in the Windows drivers for their "PureVideo" stuff. It's got a lot of promise and opens up a lot of better deinterlacers beyond bob & weave. However, because ATI drivers have stunk so badly (and because they already own nVidia cards), that's what the devs are working with. For the forseeable future, if you want it to work, that's also what you buy.
As an aside, I've had excellent luck with XvMC for both SD and HD, though I ended up sacking the HD because the Bob deinterlace was kinda ugly and I had the CPU to spare.
I didn't see any word about MPEG2/MPEG4 offloading, or even word of proper Xv support/controls. I've got my fingers crossed, but for those of us who live & breathe MythTV, I fear it's still a one-horse town.
TV tubes used to be more sphereical so that the distance from the gun to the phosphors was kept (nearly) the same from top to bottom. Then came flat tubes. How did they overcome the geometry distortion of throwing an arc onto a flat surface? Modulating the scan speed or something (fast-slower-fast)?
first off, sorry if this is (-1, Reduntant), but I don't have time to read all the comments. as such, i'll leave my karma bonus disabled.
why not charge at the door to help cover costs? If you guys come out at all in the black, take the money and donate it to the EFF (a registered non-profit), thereby giving everyone a warm fuzzy feeling. You won't lose your ass and nobody will think you're a bunch of money-grubbing whores.
I'm not sure of the resolution of each frame, but looking at the eyebrows on Shrek it's got to be pretty high.
It may not be much higher than 1280x1024 (don't forget that 35mm film is 4:3). That's the highest res that even the professional cinema DLP projectors use for display (save one insane model). I don't see what would be gained in rendering a 4000x3000 image over and over. Doubling the resolution squares the number of pixels, and when you're doing massive amounts of supersampling, the time required might jump by a factor of 16 (4 times as many pixels, and 4 subsamples to each pixel).
One is that this is the 2.5L STi engine. The other is that it is an EJ25 NA engine that was modded aftermarket to add a turbo. I would have to assume the latter, as this project looks to have been underway for a year or two, and the 2.5L STi engine was just released this year. 300BHP (not at the wheel) is pretty easy to attain from the EJ25, even with the stock compression ratio.
Gee, I wonder if he keeps the intercooler in contact with the water?
My only concern with the "125MPH" thing is that objects shaped like boats tend to push skyward as speed goes up. Ever seen video of those jetboats flipping a gazillion times and disintigrating?
Maybe not. Not meaning to sound condescending, but paper is made out of itty bitty chunks of wood glued together. What's stronger, a house made out of stone or one made out of sand? Sand is just little chunks of rock, after all. Even if you were to compare cement to rock (which is a pretty good analogy), I'd still put my money on a nice slab of granite.
The "saki process" evidently allows the wood to be reformed without the cracking, and then the sealer keeps it from cracking due to moisture. It probably also adds a certain amount of strength.
The article cites that, among other things, traditional 2D takes too long, and somehow looks dated. Hrm. Someone should inform Hiyo Miazaki that Priness Mononoke & Spirited Away are behind the times. There's something to be said about goddamn moving paintings . They also state that Brother Bear was hand drawn for a warm, organic feel. It's a shame they're in such a hurry to lose that.
Why not a mix of the two technologies? In keeping with the times, the 6-episode anime "FLCL" by Gainax was an entirely digital creation, while still being cell-based. No shortage of cutting edge techniques employed there. Made for a gorgeous DVD transfer, to boot.
Maybe this isn't a such bad thing. Maybe this will make room for other talented 2D cell artists to tread where the Mouse no longer fears to go. I've got my fingers crossed.
I'm thinking that the 120 gave your PCI fits. Either it was underclocked to the 27mhz region, or overclocked to about 38mhz. If the former, I could see some possible timing issues with the AGP. If the latter, well, I'm surprised your hard drive didn't start going "YAAGGGDITYBFLORRORGRAPF! I SHALL SKULL FUCK THE CONTENTS OF THIS PARTITION! MAAGGIDDYWRACKNACK!"
I've had that happen before. That's also why the newer Bartons are so nice. As the clock is unlocked, there's no need for the odd front side buss speeds.
The OEM cooler, in an average one-fan case, will see temps in those neighborhoods. The OEM cooler leaves a little something to be desired in its ability to shuck heat. They use a little thermal sticky pad between the CPU and the sink, IIRC. Those work, but not nearly as well as a small dab of thermal paste.
You're fine as long as you don't try to O/C. If you do, you'll quickly find out that OEM sink's shortcomings.
I've got an XP1800+. Heatsink is a Volcano 9+, with the fan throttled down so it doesn't whine like the devil. Slight O/C to 1644mhz (I don't want to push the PCI faster and risk loosing 100gb of mp3s). For all intents and purposes it's an XP1900-and-a-half. Case temps are around 35C. After an hour or more of BF1942, my CPU will *peg* at 47C. I'd check out my heatsink, were I you.
I'd make another category for the Subaru crowd, who as a group generally disdain the rest of the Asian Import cars as being flashy, but lacking substance.
Having once owned one, I can see why. I now fall into the VW crowd, mainly because my TDI allows me to keep my gas mileage (~49mpg) and my dignity.
...is going to be harder than getting one of those damn floaty-things out of my cup of coffee. Not to mention that the return on the engergy spent in extraction will be a loss.

Given the article, wouldn't that be 2012, now?

Mod this guy up. On the merits of that last sentance alone.

Help me out here...

Erm, do an image-google for "dont panic".
Anyone who says "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one," has never dealt with an FAA investigation.

I beat Level 3. The end guy was hard.
There are a couple of possibilites:
One is that this is the 2.5L STi engine. The other is that it is an EJ25 NA engine that was modded aftermarket to add a turbo. I would have to assume the latter, as this project looks to have been underway for a year or two, and the 2.5L STi engine was just released this year. 300BHP (not at the wheel) is pretty easy to attain from the EJ25, even with the stock compression ratio.

Huh. I thought it was just another stupid IRC netsplit.
...explains a few things.

Sure you can. Seen Fluxbox before? The real trick is getting the pig known as X itself down in size.
My dauther gets crap on my DVDs all the time.

D.
don't forget to 'make clean' after you unmount, though that's not technically part of the Unix shell canon.
And it will be turned down by every single member of the House, let alone the Senate. Welcome to Washington. Thanks for playing. Have a nice day.

Okay, so the tabs spaces are boogerd up, but you get the idea.
Gee, Betty, why don't we go see Movie X? It's up for all sorts of whiz-bang Oscar nominations?
Why not, Ward, that'd be keen!
