Lifelike Ultra High Definition Video 06/03/2004 10:20 AM

Hey, who told the Times' Circuits section about something interesting? You made us miss a incisive column they were going to write about why spam is bad how some people like the iPod. Instead, we got this profile of Japanese broadcaster NHK's work to develop Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV), the 7,680 by 4,320 pixel resolution television standard that aims to hit 'as good as really there' levels of visual fidelity (you know, the kind of quality so good that it makes people puke from watching it. The awesome kind, I'm saying.) Take that massive resolution, add a 60 frame per second refresh and 22 channels of surround sound ("10 speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low frequency effects") and you end up with video files that end up taking up 3.5 terabytes of storage for just 18 minutes of footage. Don't expect UHDV anytime soon, of course. NHK started developing HDTV, which is just now taking hold, in the 1960s. (Thanks, Jeffrey!)

Leading content service providers such as LAUNCH Music on Yahoo!, MusicNow (formerly FullAudio), and Napster also endorsed Windows Media Connect for its ability to extend the reach of their content and services to a new range of consumer devices.

PSX Adds PSP Video Encoding, Sorta

PSX Adds PSP Video Encoding, Sorta 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

Finally we have some clarity to that whole PSX production debacle from a few weeks back. Sony has announced two new PSX models: the 250GB "DESR-7700" and 160GB "DESR-5700." Both are set to go on sale on April 15th in Japan with an interesting new feature: the ability to encode video in the PSP's video format. Unfortunately, this new feature is rendered almost entirely useless by the PSX's shitty re-encoding process: 768kbps video re-encodes at 20% of realtime, and 384kbps at 25% realtime. The 250GB model has a price tag of 80,000 yen and the 160GB model 60,000 yen; but I have a hard time believing adding a new "feature" as slow as this one will convince anyone to buy the damn things.

Trackbacks, Queries, and Encoding

Trackbacks, Queries, and Encoding 05/26/2004 10:34 AM
This morning, I got a trackback from a Korean weblog.  Unfortunately, if you look at how a typical trackback is sent, you see that character encoding information is not provided. Something to think about the next time you are tempted to think that you can get queries for free.  While both HTTP and XML provide mechanisms for defining encoding, support in widely deployed implementations is much better in XML than in straight HTTP. URI's seem to be converging on UTF-8, albeit at an excruciatingly slow pace.  Don't leave this to chance - if you are defining a GenerativeNaming scheme today, make this explicit. If you are defining a protocol based on HTTP POST, encourage the use of the charset parameter on the Content-Type header.  Require it if you can.

HTML charset vs XML encoding

HTML charset vs XML encoding 02/13/2004 03:57 PM

Dare Obasanjo: Mark Pilgrim has a post entitled Determining the character encoding of a feed where he does good job of sumarizing what the various specs say about determining the character encoding of an XML document retrieved on the World Wide Web via HTTP. The only problem with his post is that although it is a fairly accurate description of what the specs say it definitely does not reflect reality.

OK, so given this, what should a feedvalidator do?  Should it follow the specifications?  Should it follow Dare's recommendations?  Should it issue a warning if the specifications and Dare's recommendations differ for a given feed?
