OMG 1080p rocks!


Recommended Posts

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) ?

I prefer it at the higher resolution, it doesnt appear to lose any sharpness when I fullscreen it, and I need that resolution to work effectively, since I went from three CRT's @ 1600x1200 to this single one, and I am used to running about 8-10 apps at once. Plus, working on four-million poly models in Maya is a LOT easier when you can see/pick every last vertex, poly, or edge.

It's at 60 Hz. Before people ask whether the refresh rate slices my eyes, no, I have always used 60Hz and find it quite comfortable to look at.

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.

Sorry about that, methinks I quoted the wrong post.

Also, I don't view sigs so I couldn't have known that you have a saweeeet SGI monitor (now that is impressive).

Best 20 bucks I ever spent. :woot:

Actually its about the same with WMV9 (WMV-HD)

So what you are saying it they are basically the same? So why did you feel the need to post here then?

There are a few differences. WMV9 is "windows only" and has higher hardware requirements and it scaled very well down to "cell phone" bandwidth.

Why are you so damn impressed with WMV9 and not h.264?

Let me guess, WMV9 can be presented in new and exciting ways unlike any other codec on the face of this earth right?

:laugh:

I think he was just pointing out that what the OP was going on about was nothing new or impressive.

Maybe because WMV9 doesn't require the slowest most annoying (well second behind the older RealPlayers) media player around.

well the windows versions sucks pretty bad anyway, the Mac versions I don' know or care about :)

You know if I was you; I would wait and comment on this topic after actually using QT7.

here is one I took of HD @ 720p, and the smaller clip is a stream from the Tiger Seminar, h.264 is awesome.

Can you please tell me how did you access to the tiger seminar?!? I've preordered my copy of Tiger on the very first day, but I can't find a link to watch the seminar...

Preorder it on the apple store italy don't count?!? :(

for some reason the h264 batman trailer runs very very stuttery on my macmini.. the cpu shoots to 100% - it seems this h.264 codec requires a very powerful mac to run on :(

quality wize its fantastic. but performance wise it sucks..

585865817[/snapback]

Well apple says that H264 requires at least a G5 1.8.... I hope next revision of Quicktime optimize it but i doubt it... :(

So would a new PowerBook with 512MB or memory be able to run the trailers OK at 1080 or would it require the 1gig of memory?

585875520[/snapback]

No, a PowerBook is going to falter quite a bit at 1080p, no matter the amount memory. I haven't tested the higher-end PowerBooks (in the 1.67GHz range) but I'm pretty sure they're in the same boat. Best you're going to get from a PowerBook is 720p.

Wow! I went to uni today and downloaded all of the HD quicktime files (50-100MB each), Fantastic 4, Batman, BBC, NASA etc. I have a 12" PowerBook (1.5GHz) with 768MB RAM and boy, it is pretty choppy sometimes. The resolution on those files are AWESOME (i can't even see my QT controls properly when I haven't resized it).

Awesome quality!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
