[Blogola] Endorphin Productions is offering a demo of h.264 (MPEG4 Part 10) encoded video on their website. The demos are widescreen 16×9 format in standard (not high) definition. The fact that these demos are not high-definition video helps showcase the improvement that h.264 video encoding has over current technologies.

[Blogs.msdn.com] John Kennedy's WebLog :: The Mobile & Embedded Division DevCon starts next week is Las Vegas, and we're all starting to get into the spirit of things. Which means, basically, running around panicking trying to finish up projects, getting the planning for our booth completed, signing up for various meetings and commitments, going to talks about what to do and not to do when we meet you guys face to face (for example, I'm apparently not allowed to get drunk and gamble using the company credit card - it's good they cleared that up for me). Oh I had to go buy new shoes and trousers too, because I've been told that Sear's jeans and three-year-old trainers from Costco aren't suitable attire to meet developers. So you better all dress up nicely too, ya hear?
[Blogs.msdn.com] John Kennedy's WebLog: Having the camera set to automatic causes it to occasionally vary the settings all by itself, and it looks bad.</FONT> <LI class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stick to an aspect ratio of 4:3. Using 16:9 widescreen is great for my short movie projects, but doesn’t suit screen captures.</FONT> <LI class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don’t use the camera’s built-in microphone. It doesn’t sound good, and it picks up way too much ambient sound.</FONT> <LI class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2>Edit in 800 by 600. Hurrah for Premier’s ability to edit in any resolution you like!
[Blog.mattgoyer.com] Matt Goyer's Microsoft Windows Media Center Blog - MCE 2005: Actually it does way more than that but that's my perceived one sentence description. For instance it also has the capability to suck content off a Tivo and then farm out the encoding of the content to an encoding farm (because we all have lots of spare machines laying around) and then aggregates the results. It is also very extensible and addins are being written such as AccTivo which will sync your content to a laptop. You can also access the archive of your media over the web.
