Cory Doctorow:
Phillip Torrone's article on Hack-a-Day explains how to trick out your
iPod to get it to record audio
really well, bypassing the
crippling restrictions imposed by Apple:
apple cripples recording on an ipod so belkin and griffin then have to
sell us add-on devices for over $50 that can only record at 8khz,
which is all pretty shitty. apparently (the rumor is) apple does this
so people don’t use their ipods to record stuff they think we
shouldn’t, like concerts, whatever.
but don’t worry, there’s a way around it and you can record at
high quality, all for free.

12/22/2004 01:23 AMNvidia today announced the availability of PureVideo. The
technology is designed to accelerate MPEG 2 and high-definition
content on computer systems equipped with an Nvidia graphics card
carrying a GeForce 6-series processor.
The company has been talking about PureVideo for quite a while now,
since the introduction of the GeForce 6800 back in April of this year,
to be exact. However the enabling software was missing so far. Now,
Nvidia has the driver package in place and promises to take video
quality on the PC to the next level. PureVideo is based on a
programmable video processing engine integrated in GeForce 6-series
graphics processors. According to Nvidia, the feature "eliminates
the need for separate hardware or chipsets and takes the load off the
PC's multi-purpose CPU to deliver to consumers, high-quality video
playback at resolutions up to 720p and 1080i".

05/07/2004 05:52 PMV, Inc. took dealers off site at CES to announce a range of new
products, highlighted by a DVD player it claims will play
high-definition content.
The Bravo D3 home HD DVD Media Player will support the Windows Media 9
video compression codec, which is capable of playing back
high-definition videos recorded in WM9 on standard DVDs. The unit
outputs signals through component video and DVI-HDCP at resolution
levels including the 480i, 480p, 1,080i and 720p formats, the company
said. The player is expected to ship in the second quarter of 2004 at
a $349.99 "target retail."
In addition to using the WM9 compression codec, the player adds the
Microsoft/ Matsushita-developed HighMAT format for media-file
aggregation and playback management.

01/05/2005 03:55 PM
Keeping with the fresh announcements of new Vaio
desktops and laptops today, Sony has also announced a new version of
their "RoomLink" network media player, the VGP-MR100. Because the
RoomLink requires Vaio Media Server to be installed on a the host PC,
users without a Vaio still seem to be up the creek without a paddle;
but those of you who happen to own one will likely enjoy its seamless
integration.
Connecting by either plain old Ethernet cable or 802.11b/g, the new
RoomLink has added support for playback of HD content (up to 1080i),
and now also features compliance with DLNA guidelines (DLNA, "Digital
Living Network Alliance," is an industry effort to standardize media
communications across home networks). Sony has most likely chosen to
throw in the HD support because of the release of their consumer-level
HD camera, the HDR-FX1.
Besides these two new features, it looks to be the same RoomLink
— it still plays MPEG-1/2/4 (and DivX) and WMV video, ATRAC3 and
MP3 audio, and your standard run of image formats.

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!)
