Back to the deadly sins.
Wrath. No suprise here. Get pissed off, kill people. I think this one is interesting because I've personally learned the importance of keeping my cool.
Ok ok, since this one was short I'm gonna write about other things.
I've figured it out. FINALLY. I finally understand how to encode a raw video file (recorded from my cable box through firewire) to DVD or compressed to wmv. Why WMV (Windows Media Video) you ask? It's the only format that can compress to 1080p, with full support for compressed 5.1 channel audio. Simply put, a HD stream will be kept in all it's glory. SWEEET. The only problem... It takes forever to compress files. A 150 minute Formula1 race takes 23hrs to encode. What's the fix? Well, video encoding is highly dependant on processor speed. So, I have the bug to upgrade my puny 1.4Ghz Duron machine I'm using to encode these files. More to come on that later...
