If you like Rolfe’s work, I encourage you to donate if you can.

VLC coming to Android

The best news I’ve heard all week.

PlayStation Video Unlimited

Max Pagels — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 11:35:35 +0000

This is the new PlayStation Video Unlimited service. This PlayStation app runs at a full 60 frames per second (when you see it on a PS3), has tons of 3D graphics effects, full-speed 1080p video playback, and a fluid, hardware accelerated, animated user experience. What you may not know is that this is a web app.

It uses the Trilithium platform, whose APIs allow access to the PS3 hardware (CPU cores, GPU, video playback engine etc.) via JavaScript.

A beautiful A/V conversion app for OS X.

Yet another of those “I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before” plugins.

A new video show by Chris Kohler and Seth Cheek. Looks like it could be quite interesting.

Vimeo rolls out beta HTML5 player

I just need a few more of my frequently visited sites to do the same and then I can drop Flash altogether.

YouTube HTML5 video player

Good to see YouTube embracing upcoming standards. The official YouTube blog has more information.

Blu-ray 3D specification finalized

Max Pagels — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:12:22 +0000

The Blu-ray 3D specification calls for encoding 3D video using the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec, an extension to the ITU-T H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec currently supported by all Blu-ray Disc players. MPEG4-MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50% overhead compared to equivalent 2D content, and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu-ray Disc players.

This means that the PlayStation 3 is forwards-compatible with the new spec.

The Boxee Box

Max Pagels — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:26:22 +0000

Manufactured by D-Link and reported to cost $200, which, if true, is a great price point. The D-Link site has more information, including some images:

I like the unconventional industrial design.

About Silverlight on iPhone

Max Pagels — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:26:22 +0000

An extensive article on Betanews discussing the technical aspects of Silverlight on the iPhone. Using the HTML5 element is genius, as it eliminates the need for a seperate plugin (which Apple probably wouldn’t allow anyway).

A video detailing how the live-action short for Halo 3: ODST was made. Obviously, the production values in this short were significantly higher than in most other video game teasers.

Footage taken with GoPro’s HD Hero sports camera. Stunning.
