Why? it's not like Linux has a big market uptake in the design and publishing industry, nor consumer market for that matter. Plus virtually all Linux default installs lack color matching and profiling capabilities; that and other things that are necessary for graphics and design.
The quality of the MPEG2 encoder makes a huge difference. Hollywood uses exceptional encoders that we mere mortals cannot afford. The highest quality encoder I've seen in software form is CCE, and it's by far the fastest one, but also one of the most expensive ones. Tsunami is very cheap, but very slow, although it generates very good output. MainConcept is also another good encoder. These are the three that I find are better than other software encoders out there.
I've never used any hardware assisted MPEG encoders so I don't know what they are like, although I'm contemplating on getting one to assist my rendering or accelerate video editing.
I've never noticed any issues with 5400rpm drives for editing DV, and I do it for a hobby. Remember that because of the serial nature of video streams, most of it will be stored linearly on the drive anyways so not too much concern for fragmentation. HD is different, it requires a substantially higher speed drive to do anything.
Personally, I never use DVD for backing up DV material - it's just a finalisation point I use for authoring DVDs, so MPEG2. MPEG4 isn't very editable, I've tried to place the streams into Vegas Video, Premiere and MSP, but it's rediculously slow and painful in getting anything done because of the high CPU demand. All my DV material for backup is done directly to DV tapes. The hassle of rendering to something else is too much.
Anyways, 1 hour of MPEG2 on DVD is very high quality, but realtime MPEG2 editing costs... The alternative is to use MJPEG, very editable, although I haven't experimented too much with it either.
Thank you so much... I was waiting for On2's next free release since I used VP3 once before (but it was slow in encoding, so I stopped). Now that VP4 is out, I'm gonna play with it.
I saw some VP5 clips and they're amazing.
I could never get XviD to encode at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but every installation of Xvid has been moot in trying to get things encoded - the codec just barfs at me with an error. I got fustrated and just use XviD for playback. None of my other codecs have this problem...
CRT monitors are bad above certain resolutions mainly because of 2 things: it's dot pitch, and the quality of the video card. In order to display higher resolutions in a crisp manner, you have to have a smaller dot pitch, this is why editing houses use dot pitch as low as 0.20. Most cheapass video cards have pathetic ramdacs that produce blur at high resolutions/refresh rates. For this reason it's hard to work at high resolutions even tho the card/monitor supposedly supports it.
Digital LCD monitors don't have these issues, each pixel is displayed as a single LCD element, so you get a 1:1 display
it should be written in the troubleshooting manuals and text from Epson, but you won't find them there. It's not even in Epson's "maintenance" procedures log. Additionally, Epson claims that it happens to only a small number that they don't even bother about it. A lot of people have been scratching their heads of why it was happening, and it took a while before someone came up with this procedure.
Also, Epson uses a white grease. People who actually remove all the grease and simply use Windex to clean the chrome have found that to run better...
Well, Epson printers are really good in quality output, but grously bad in build. After a while of printing, the print head sliding bar builds up a lot of crap and causes the print head to bitch slap itself all over the place. So the remedy? Clean the chrome bar with WD40 and some grease...
Except the chick in GITS was broad and had a figure, which differs from all those other little anime gals. This is one of those flicks that sculptured the female figure beautifully.
What speed was this meteorite travelling at? I am confused why there's no mention of holes in her foot or a little crater created on the grown... If I can through a pebble and cause dints and injure someone, this meteorite looks soft in comparison (what a pussy).
Japan has great deals on ADSL. My gf is currently over there and she's on ADSL. Her current setup is with the KCN isp which charges her Y2200/month on top of NTT's (line provider) charges (can't recall how much per month, but less than Y2000/month - read somewhere Y900/month). The biggest charge will be the connection fee from NTT who charge you depending on the location you're at and what type of line you want (data only, or data+voice, etc). My gf was charged Y10000 for this.
She lives away from the POP a little so she only achieves 3Mbps, but it seems pretty fast enough for most things.
Oh, before you can do anything useful, you should get your Alien registration ASAP. This will allow you to setup the internet connection and bank account amongst other things.
A little note about ADSL, most ISPs will rent/sell you a modem with NAT capability (it assigns your computer with a private IP address). and support for MS's uPNP. The modem configuration will most likely be in pure Japanese. You might want a modem that allows a direct 1-1 address translation so that you can run some comms apps without trouble.
They also have some really nice looking computer systems over there, small and slick. The only problem is that those machines most likely have japanese keyboards (the notebooks mainly - and you can't really change the buttons to US/English)...
They're an extint species of a different time. Oh, the ivory... But if that's the only purpose, then there really isn't much purpose except to prove penis prowess (or lack of).
Talking about digital transmissions, do you guys ever get audio clipping (chirps, breaks, etc)? I don't think all that audio fscking does good to ya audio equipment... most digital audio processors don't general filter out sudden chirps, so there's a sudden large burst of current through your amp and speakers. Hmm, does this mean you can sue the broadcasting co for damaging your equipment?

The majority of Truecrypt partitions are pre-defined and fixed size, just like a physical harddrive. So you don't have to fill it up fully.

ha! So you're suggesting that this should only be allowed in the US where prisoners can sue for mistreatment.
ice coffee, problem solved
Quicktime's biggest use was with proprietary codecs such as Sorenson.
They own it, they can do whatever they want with future versions.
one hole (or 25 of them) dumping in a larger hole.... sorry, bad thought.

Sweet name, especially when sounds like eXPerience-seX to me when spoken quickly.
I'm waiting for the NEC high capacity discs to come out. DVD is obsolete... it's too small in capacity for many things.
