I am seeing all these messages saying, use MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 because DivX won't be around in 5 years, but MPEG-1 and 2 are standards, blah blah blah.
I put this to you: DivX 5.03, 3ivx D4 and above, XviD, Apple MPEG-4 and most of the other MPEG-4 variants are actually fully MPEG-4 compliant, and MPEG-4 is as much of a standard as MPEG-1 or 2 is. MS-MPEG is another thing all together, as is DivX 3.11. Avoid these.
The worst part of this MPEG-4 hodge podge is that everybody stuffs them into.avi's, instead of putting them inside a proper.mp4 container (which is based on QuickTime, and FULLY documented)
Basically if it's MPEG-4 compliant, there will be some way to play it in the future, as surely as you can play MPEG-1 or 2....And in the end, isn't this the point of having open standards in the first place?
Christina Aguilera actually has vocal talent, and some nice songs (if you bothered buying an album instead of downloading the "hits" from kazaa), as opposed to the rest of them, which are, yes, shit.
Hello - I've been living under a rock for the past few months, plus I'm Australian so I haven't been paying too much attention to this, but can someone explain in plain English what the PATRIOT act actually means, or allows?
When a CD is mounted in OS X (10.2.4, anyway - 10.0 was.aiff, then 10.1 was.cdda, now we're back to.aiff), those files are not actually AIFF files. I found this out while trying to encode directly off the CD using FLAC. They have to be opened in QuickTime Player, and then you use the export command from there to make a real AIFF. For the file opened directly off the CD, QuickTime Player reports it as "16-bit Little Endian, Stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16 bits", but a QuickTime created AIFF is displayed as "None, Stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16 bits".
I love it how they have blue, blue, pretty blue gradients, blue buttons, then all of a sudden a big hunk of SHIT BROWN right in the middle of a window.
Are you the chromosome police? This is an online technical forum, not a dating agency so whatever danamania is or isn't should be of no concern to you whatsoever. Don't you have anything better to do than go around making fun of people who are different? You seem so concerned with other people sexes', maybe you should grow some balls yourself and learn some tolerance.
You obviously have an agenda against her as shown by:

Thankyou.

You are by far the most immature poster I have ever seen on slashdot, and that is saying something.
Please take your prejudices elsewhere.
Fucking troll.
