h.264

September 29th, 2005 by jb

I’ve been messing with the new video codec that is included in Quicktime 7 Pro and man is it nice. Video clips that were normally like 10Mb after compression are getting down to less than 5Mb and looking even better. I haven’t quite gotten the settings tweaked to where I want them yet, but as soon as I do, I will be updating the video content on the site. And it will look a lot better than whats currently up.

Other than that, not a whole lot new. Me and the cat spent about half an hour tonight hunting a fly, and I’m looking to buy a digital camera. Any suggestions are welcome. This one is leading the race right now, but that could definately change as I do some more searching. Oh yeah, I fixed the crappy javascript that was being all buggy on here. Should work good now.

    I like the SD400 and have been able to coax some nice pictures out of it. Startup time is almost nil as well. And last month or so they announced the successor, the SD450 (which adds a bigger screen and that’s it) so the price on the SD400 will get lower and lower as they try to clear them out for the new model. Here’s a comparison of the two.
