Umm...hopefully I am wrong about this, but am I the only one on the forum with a resolution high enough (2048x1536) to watch 1080p video without scaling it down to fit the screen? I hope not, because JESUS IT IS BEAUTIFUL. H.264 IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD, or at the very least MY moviewatching...although I have personally been ripping DVD to it for about three months now, ever since D-Vision 3 started supporting it...Full 780p DVD, no compression, 192K VBR MP3 audio, all for the low low price of 989Mb-1.12Gb per file :woot:

WARNING: IMAGE IS HUGE. And I mean HUGE. (Pixel-wise. Sizewise, its not too bad.)

(Also, sorry for the ImageShack link, I didn't want to compress it because that would ruin the purpose of showing it...and the filesize limits on Neowin apparently aren't big enough for me to post my DT without compression...oh well)

BTW WHEN THE IMAGESHACK PAGE LOADS, PLEASE CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE IT IN THE NATIVE RES.

You think that's good.  Try watching that on a 61" HDTV.  It will completely change your computing.  I don't care high high res your computer monitor is, watching it on a massive screen with no quality loss is a site to behold.

But yeah, I know what you mean ... H.264 is rediculous.

I love how every mac user thinks HD is brand new, there has been a windows media HD site since WM9 came out...

And there has been mpeg2 HD since before that, but the file sizes of h264 are actually something that can be downloaded quickly with a normal broadband connection.

1080i is regular HighDef you get on TV... H.264 is 1080p.

Actually I haven't been to impressed with h.264... my mac can't play the nice high res stuff, so I'll wait to reserve which is better (wmv or quicktime) later...

All i can say now is that I've been blown away with WMV HD since I first saw it at full fps last year... comon apple release QT7 for windows !

I agree that the 30" cinema display is amazing ... it's just much more impressive seeing 720p in 61" of HDTV glory. Trust me, 30" is great but you don't actually use your peripheral vision like you do when you are sitting in front of a 61" screen about 3 feet from it. It's well, you get the idea.

would it be better to watch your 1080p with the 1920 x 1080 resolution? then your 2048x1536. is that at 60 hz or 30 hz (like 1080i) ?

im wishing i had a mac now, but im cool with my 1.2 Ghz PC and HDTV wonder, no problems with HDTV or HD playback, WMV HD (1080p also)...another story :pinch: quicktime 7 HD, not even going to try until i have a new PC :laugh:

Actually, if you look in my sig, I DO NOT have the 30" Cinema display...its a 21" CRT. SGI Workstation monitor.

H.264 is a compression format, not a resolution! H.264 is a flavor of MPEG4 compression that COULD be used to compress 1080p.

Normal Hi-res TV content - today - is 1080i (interlaced) in MPEG2 format. The only 1080p content (in MPEG2 or H.264 compression format) is just upconverted 1080i content.

There is not one broadcaster today putting out content in true 1080p format; also, there are only a couple TV's that claim they can handle 1080p.

I never said you had the 30" monitor. I said "the 30" Cinema Display is amazing" specifically because I wasn't sure if you had one or not. Also, I don't view sigs so I couldn't have known that you have a saweeeet SGI monitor (now that is impressive).

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
