First free Blu-ray encoder released

The VideoLan x264 team has finally developed a preliminary encoder which allows regular users like ourselves to encode Blu-ray format movies onto DVD9 or even DVD5 discs with quality, reasonably comparable to Blu-ray.

Well, to be honest about this. This has been in China for a LOOOOOONG time. Extremely high quality DVD's. It's insane. But, yeah, it's not quite blu-ray.

I'd be more interested in a free bluray DECODER.

Encode in avchd? This has been around since um...bluray was started.

Stop spamming that pic from deviantart. What, did you make that yourself? Cool, post it on the forums. Or you just got a hard on for the chief? Either way, that's like the 4th time Ive seen that pic today. =/

Kinda sad that it's not PS3 compatible

mcroddi5846d ago

this smells like trouble...

Sounds good, so is this a update to h.264 or a new codec entirely? I hope google releases on2 VP8 soon as it is speculated they will.

Speed-Racer5846d ago

It should be added to the h.264 library I believe....

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit6h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing5h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
