  8. Shame BBC still promotes clandestine media formats on New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yet another proprietary mp3 file. Are the BBC going to include a Fraunhofer Institute MP3 licence for every listener? I somehow doubt it. With Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora why is the BBC still clinging to these legacy formats? The beeb also promote Macromedia Shockwave Flash over SVG animations.

    Proprietary "Apple QuickTime" clandestine format. Whats wrong with supporting modern formats like Ogg Theora BBC?

    The BBC used to run BBC ogg vorbis streams. Sadly they have canceled these now. You can contact the BBC through their BBC GNU/Linux help page, and also the BBC Radio 4 Feedback Programme which is broadcast at 13:00 each Friday, if you too would like the BBC Ogg Vorbis radio services to restart.

Anyone? Surprsing they don't have Ogg Theora or at least MPEG-4 (XviD). People could of cause email them asking for modern format support ;) now3d p.s. In preview the html seems to get broken by the server.

  11. Miss sold a HDD/DVD recorder with CPRM (DRM!) on Japanese Digital TV Viewers Complain About DRM Restrictions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hi.
    I purchased Panasonic DMRE85HEBS (me things they got the 2nd and 3rd letter in wrong order!)

    product

    They did not mention in any technical description that it had CPRM (DRM for hard discs and DVD-RAM). Bad customer support or what? I've not be encombered so far.

    CPRM the register article

    Here is some info from the manual.

    From the Glossary
    CPRM technology is used to protect broardcasts that are allowed to be
    recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM
    compatible recorders and discs.

    From the information on use of the player
    * You can record broadcasts that allow "One time only recording". You
    can transfer (dub) a recorded title to a CPRM compatible DVD-RAM,
    however the title is erased from the HDD.

    The future is bleak - the future is CPRM and other DRM :(

  15. Re:Debugging on Compiling Under Wine · · Score: 1

    The video game is developed/tested/debugged on my GNU/Linux computer. When complete, the PS2Linux and MS-Windows versions are compiled and also tested for hardware deps/performance etc

    The video game has a debug mode to log errors, if this did not detect a platform specific problem on MS-Windows we would use MS VC++ debugger, as we installed it with the compiler. However, as of yet we have not had to do this, as the game is SDL safe; all game specific testing is done on GNU/Linux.

    Cheers

  16. Re:wow on Compiling Under Wine · · Score: 1

    crath,

    You seem to have missed the point of my article. Tord also picked up on this in his reply to your msg.

    Basically I set out to save my time, the novel solution that I came up with used tools freely available and did not distract me too much from developing the video game port. Please re-read my motivations section, this is exactly what I set out to do.

    You mention SAMBA, NFS and CVS. Well I use these there great technologies every day. I my use of CVS was clearly visible from the end of the article where I mention the new Wine CVS version I tested (did you get that far?). Also, this was never intended to be a "how to copy files over the network" article. You mention I will still have to test, yes that is what I chose to do. Saves giving all those games testers compilers they will never need to use now! I never mentioned VMWare, and I do not intend to test with it. For my purpose it is not relevant, I achieved all I set out to. (build from one machine, avoid wasting time etc)

    Some people mentioned the possibility of using the entire msdev.exe IDE. Unfortunately this does not run with current CVS Wine, a few more dlls are required to even get it just to load. However, it crashes when build is selected.

    I have received lots of positive feedback, and if you are reading this considering this as an option for your self or company then I would definitely recommend you try it. Most of the Wine problems have been corrected since this article was released. They should be in the CVS version over the next few days I expect. Credit to the Wine team.

    Cheers

    I have been using babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) to translate the fantastic mICQ GPL (http://micq.org/) client into Japanese.

    Altavista changed their site last week to block non IE browsers. Entering "hello", selecting English->Japanese, clicking "Translate"
    Just gives "?????". They do not even give users the curticy of an error message saying Mozilla has been blocked. It would be helpful
    if anyone knows any highup people in AV to contact them and sugest they correct the error of their ways.
