With the free XVID codecs, VirtuaDub and AVISynth, anything can be converted over to something that plays in the DVP642. It plays some WMVs, and raw MPEG1 or MPEG2 files as well.
The caveats (there's always a catch!): Sometimes DIVX/XVID come out garbled, the workaround is to hit the System menu key twice, it does a kind of 'soft-reset' of the decoder that cleans it up.
There's about a 50ms delay between the analog and bitstream outputs, I have to turn down off of the two because of the annoying echo it creates.
Let's not moderate too quickly here. The submitter is looking for a hardware solution. Right now, VLC is a multiplatform media player, and not a hardware solution.
So VLC by itself is not the answer.... yet. I hope someday someone could design a DVD player with an Ethernet/WiFi connection using VLC (or something similar) as a means to play networked or streaming media.
The Phantom Professor on term papers: What they don't realize is that it's just college. These are just little assignments that teachers give so we can figure out what grades to type in next to your name at the end of the semester. They're not life and death, these grades, these papers, these group projects. They're very often little more than glorified busywork. Truth? They're to prepare you for a career of TPS Reports and annual "employee self-evaluations."
If you think using binary arithmetic is a "best practice" then I hope you don't write any code for use in financial applications, where it can really screw things up.
Absolutely. But in my mind binary vs 'decimal' is pretty much the same. I think we're talking about binary/fixed point VS floating point arithmetic. And FP is definitely a curse on financial apps.
Let's see, it was the Amiga and OS/2's official scripting languages. Nuff said.
Rexx employs decimal rather than binary arithmetic. [...] You don't need to declare or predefine your variables. Rexx automatically allocates them when you first refer to them.
Are these supposed to be positive points? Because it kind of flies in the face of coding best practices...
Ask yourself the following question every three years, fourteen times:
"How to keep music for three years"
This means:
Moving from a 3 year old device/media to a new device or media (always!)
Converting to a new unDRMed, lossless format if necessary
Compare that to museum artifact maintenance, which require regular upkeep and ideal storage conditions. I you care about your data you must maintain it.
I uhhhh, also "work for a small telecommunications company" (yeah, that'll do) and also require software to help me ermmm, "activate" cell phones. (they'll buy that).
So if you could somehow put that CD in a plain brown envelope and I'll meet you at the coffee shop downstairs, y'know coz they have good coffee there....
The device makers will put up a pretty strong resistance to this. MPAA isn't the only industry group that would be lobbying over this.
"My lobby group can beat up your lobby group."
Whichever special interest group with the deeper pockets will win this one. Plain as that.
You forgot one result: Your screen flashes black to white at 60fps
How would you know? Our eyes can't percieve strobing at more than about 20 hertz. As a matter of fact, fluorescent lighting is strobing at 60herts too...
Simply provide a 1080i test pattern made of alternating horizontal lines where the left half is black lines on even scanlines, white lines on odd scanlines and the right half is reversed (white-even,black-odd)
The results may be one of the following:
You will get a screen full of tiny, shimmering horizontal lines that shift in the center of your screen
Congratulations! Your HT gear is showing a true 1080i picture
You will get a full screen of gray, possibly with a line in the center
Not bad, your gear is properly downscaling the signal
Half your screen is black, the other is white
Uh oh. Your gear is taking the easy way out and dropping half the scanlines to downconvert (Bele and Lokai)
I call that the Cheron Test.

Look into WiFi or mobile phone. These actually do transmit RF at > 1GHz.

Guess which of the two businesses prefer?
