Ran across your blog while tagging things on del.icio.us for my business info tech class... your stuff is a little more interesting than reading 500 articles on windows vista. i hate microsoft anyway. i know i'm talking about nothing but that's because i'm putting off studying for my econ midterm tomorrow. i suck at life. alyse:) p.s. your pics of france are pretty. i studied abroad last semester in Spain for 6 months- you need to go there it's gorgeous. i visited paris but only for 3 days, which is not nearly enough.

If you want a low complexity just don't use a multi bframes, many ref frames, cabac etc. Even with these conditions QT7 H.264 isn't so easy to decode as Nero and has not enough good quality. Mainconcept, Nero are good codecs. What about new version of x264 codec. It's also excelent. http://mirror05.x264.nl// Yes, I understand you.

This is only a claim about the encoder, nothing to do with the decoder or its speed. I have received the new Nero and Main Concept versions, and am planning some followup demos using them.

Sorry to tell you that. QT7 is a higher complexity decoder than Nero. Nero also supports multichannel. QT7.0.2 is very inferior comparing to good codecs like x264 rev315 and Nero AVC Maximum Definition. This month Nero is shuting a new version H.264 High Profile with better quality and faster decoder for HD. You are wrong. Sorry to tell you that.

One reason I used that is because it does a better job than the rest of constraining complexity on decode. However, the main reason is I only tested formats that supported multichannel audio and which had readily available players. I'll be picking up more codecs in the next rev.

I've made a followup test - same source, but at 8 Mbps VBR in four different codecs: http://216.99.212.233:6969/torrents/The+Island+8+Mbps+VBR.torrent?75320A1EBA045F4BCC75992F2461E9FAC5952498 The goal here is to test content at a data rate where you could do a 1080p 2-hour feature on DVD-9 media. The trailer is very high motion, so it's not exactly a fair test, but the results should be interesting. Hello,
