RE: [H] Quality of Video Formats

Yes encoding can make things better. It can clean up the picture, improve audio video sync, remove noise. It can also make things worse. It depends on what you use, and your level of expertise . Experience is what makes the difference and is exponentially more important then what application(s

Re: [H] Quality of Video Formats

Now to my question -- Is it reasonable for this smaller AVI file that I downloaded to be of equivalent or even better quality than the analog mpeg2 file I record myself? yes Or is this more a function of the input signal (HDTV vs Analog) being so much better that video compression for the AVI fi

Re: [H] Quality of Video Formats

It is actually a function of the compressing codec and the original source material. The quality is better because the quality of the source was better (HDTV vs analog cable) and the file size is smaller because the codec used is better (divx/mpeg-4 vs mpeg-2). -- Brian

The biggest issue I have with LCDs is that just about every one I see has noticeable smearing and motion blurs. I find it very distracting. Maybe it's because I have been using CRTs solely for my PC and TV monitors. Dunno. -- Brian

RE: [H] Consumer HD 1080p TV's

Personally, I just really really don't like any LCD TV I've seen in stores, the colours and picture quality are usually horrendous. I have noticed that this is getting better but still not as good as I would like. I don't think this is necessarily an LCD issue as I've seen Plasma, CRT, LCD TVs and

They only get better. I have a set of Sennheiser HD-580's, and they require a lot of playing time before they are broken in. The HD-497's ($70 set) I had previously required even more break-in time. Until they do break in, I've found low-end response is pretty abysmal. Enjoy. :) Greg - Origi

The nForce, Intel and 3COM are all good NIC's and the differences in load characteristics can't be seen unless you're under heavy load, in which case you should switch to a server NIC :) That being said, I've neverhad problems with stability of any of the three brands.
