Hey bros.
Here's a link to a 30 second clip of video of the show they played at Valve a while ago.

Go the sepia tones!!!

Thats cool! sucks though that it stops before the blastbeats!

Yeah, I think the tones really go well with Ted's complection as well as avidly reflecting the hurt in his face.(stereotypical "homosexual" voice ends).

I have most of the set, give your postal details and I'll hook you up bro.

pretty cool vid... you'd do better to recompress with a better compressor than mpg before you post, DivX or some such. Give us more video for less download.

Yeah I still havn't succomb to the DivX way of life yet (aside from movies)...thinking about starting a site with heaps of vid's so maybe its a good idea. It'll be the shiz once this becomes more popular...

That'll only ever be popular on the BBC website... the h4x release groups dictate what is teh popular encode format and my guess is that it'll stay as divx for a wee while longer...

you've got to be kidding me... it's free, it'll be widely supported, and it uses wavelets, which means the quality is going to be good... it'll take a wee while for it to wipe out DivX, but unless BBC fuck this up, it's gonna dominate. I'm certainly looking forward to it. I reckon the haxors will pick up on it, it sounds sexy enough for them to take interest.

there's a shitload of people who'll pick up on it for posting amateur videos, and stuff to archive.org, and the like. also I predict it'll start getting use inside digital cameras, the ones that have mp4 video at the moment - no royalties to pay.

It doesnt really say what kind of compression it will allow though... theres not point changing something if it aint broke!

(just to continue steering this topic away from cathedra)

It doesn't say, but claims it'll be comparable to the latest generation, and degrade more gracefully, and from what I know about wavelets, that sounds right. Also, to get full quality DivX encoding, I have to pay or pirate, whereas this'll be free, so that's what I'll be using for all my video.

You'd be amazed how many people doing video are not warez heads, and are happy to save royalties money. Just as a small example, most TV stations here offer their shit on the web in some form or rather. They're probably all paying royalties to some codec owner or rather. They'll be down with the savings from Dirac.

Sure its something the industry could well pick up on.

However, I would argue that history shows that the 'legitimate' industry has always followed the h4x0rs i.e DivX for video, and say the recent use of BitTorrent for file distribution.

Without support from the warez community it won't float imo...

bloody computer nerds what about cathedra then... they are the bomb yeah lol
