    H.264 Playback

    Youtube uses more than one profile depending on format and resolution. Hardly a surprise since they goal is to support as many devices as possible. A quick investigation on one video (16:9) showed the following h264 Youtube formats: 1) format 18: 360x270 Baseline Profile, ~700kbps 2) format 34...

    A question about Dreamcast emulation

    It is not strictly true. With enough effort it is possible to disassemble a game and port from assembly source. This was done with Rick Dangerous (xrick). Grated this was a simple game. However it usually should be enough to reverse engineer and rewrite graphic/audio routines, the logic can be...

    H.264 Playback

    The h.264 decoder available on the linked page decodes only Baseline Profile (according to the spec provided), so it is not suitable for general use anyway. I would guess most h.264 files floating around Internet are at least Main Profile. Even if TI eventually provide Main or High profile...

    7 Dead Nub Units To Go

    If broken 'nubs' were spread evenly among the population, statistics are not looking good for Pandora: 7/700 = .01 = 1% chance of 2 faulty 'nubs' .01 ^ .5 = .1 = 10% chance of single faulty 'nub' 1 - (1 - .1) ^ 2 = .19 = 19% chance of Pandora having at least one faulty 'nub'

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    Hardware usually have some state beyond RAM, controlled through memory mapped registers. This state is reset to default or random when power is cut down. As this is all device specific, restoring the state after suspend must be done by drivers. Sometimes unloading/loading trick works as the...

    Have We Got A Tracking Number For The Cases?

    Here you go. That's stdin -> stdout filter, accepts inputs with or without spaces between octets: perl -pe'$_=pack"(B8)*",/\d{8}/g' Edit: One liners can be done in C too: char *b,p;int main(int c,char **a){for(;--c;putchar(p))for(b=*++a;*b;)p+=p+*b++%2;return puts("");}

    Here Is What Will Be Happening.

    I would say get all the cases or none of them. I don't see how the Chinese company will be willing to make corrections once they realize that current quality was acceptable enough for the client to order 500. Moreover from the information we getting it is unclear if this company is capable of...

    H.264 Ipod Mp4 Movies?

    Please stop confusing people about H.264. 4.0 and 5.1 are not profiles, these are levels. Levels define required decoder performance (bits per second, pixels per second and memory availability) while profiles define decoding capabilities (like B-frames, arithmetic coding, interlace tools). Level...
