something funny Caesar said in that article was: It has been seven weeks since launch, and how many new shows are available for download? Zero. Apple still has the same five shows they started with. To me, this signals problems in Cupertino. Big …

I'm not sure it's absolutely necessarliy to run all that extra software in windows inside VPC. You could turn the security settings in windows up way high (just enough to allow web browsing if that's all you need), always run it with the "undo driv…

funny to me the code name is Kaleidoscope since there is a company in the MC business called Kaleidescape (Not that they are related in any way, just ironic)

too bad the human eye can't really detect a difference once you get over 400:1 contrast ratio

no rant, just posting the obvious, and what's already been said by the people at Apple

So far I get about 30-50 fps in handbrake for DVDs (ripped to my HDD already) on the first pass (I always use 2-pass encoding now). The second pass is usually quite a bit slower, but it's still close to a 1:1 (1x) encoding process even on my 1.25GH…

These PSP vs iPod rants are so pointless, this is NOT the video iPod. For every "missing feature" from the iPod that the PSP has there is an equal vice versa. ie Screen size-PSP, Storage-iPod, etc. Put another way, for every way the PSP excels ov…

I have to say, coming from a 2nd Gen 10GB, I really like this new iPod. I've read some reviews since I got it that trash the video quality and all the crap, I just have to say go see one yourself, I'm impressed with the screen and quality. The cas…

(hope this isn't too off topic, I didn't want to start a new thread) If I want to take some non-CSS encrypted VOBs to h.264 and iPod video, would Apple's mpeg-2 component be the easy, reliable way to do it? Like VOB -> h.264 using QT 7 Pro?

Well I can admit it; I was way off 8) White 30GB... counting the days...

BT remote would have been nice, but remember this is in the home theater/television realm now, what TV or theater remote do you know of that DOESN'T use IR? Edit: oh, and for line of site issues, IR repeaters are available and work quite well if …

not to mention the image on the displays is resized and not centered (or corner justified--hope that makes sense), the latter of which is typical of Apple to show how much more image you can really see with the larger displays and of course at highe…

Wouldn't a video iPod have to be quite a bit larger than the current models to dissapate the heat generated from the drive spinning frequently while playing video? I thought apple said something about that, like heat generated if you used an iPod a…
