Similarly misleading advertising: Telling that you can "buy" digital video when it comes encumbered with DRM that turns your "buying" into "renting for an undefined time period". Maybe European Commission could

I was comparing 8-bit x265 against 10-bit x264 a couple weeks back, and was quite impressed - x265 managed to preserve quite a bit more detail than x264 in many places (the previous time I had tested x265 it didn't manage to do even th

Chrome 32 really is a terrible update with some major regressions all over the place, all (apparently) for the sake of some custom scrollbars. To add onto the list of issues, popup windows ( including things like Chrome dev tools in their o

This should really be at the top of every HTML DRM discussion: HTML DRM will not give you plugin-free or standardized playback. It will simply replace Flash/Silverlight with multiple custom and proprietary DRM black boxes that will lik

Yep, this is the future that we are buying into by supporting companies that offer nothing but DRM'd streams. While they are dishonestly marketing that stuff as "buying" media, in reality you're just indefinitely renting

I used to be a NoScript user myself, but eventually I got tired of the constant whitelisting. Nowadays I just run a combination of AdBlock Plus + Ghostery with everything blocked by default. It cleans out the vast majority of gunk while sti

As someone who does media compression pretty much daily, your marketing spiel really came out to me badly for the same reasons. While you can optimize JPGs and PNGs in a lossless fashion, you really can't do the same for audio and vide

What do you mean by CCCP "not updating"? It got an automatic update checker last winter and is actively developed.

It's a bit funny and sad how VLC has touted new stuff "for anime fans" for a few releases, yet every time they've done it they still haven't managed to catch up to the "standard" solutions in those circles

Count me in. It's absolutely ridiculous that CDs, which have existed for over 30 years already, still offer higher quality audio than you can generally buy digitally. It's a sad truth in general that if you want high quality digit

Installing separate decoders for every single format is just dumb and a waste of time. Something like LAV Filters will handle pretty much everything you throw at it, and on top of that you just need a media player like MPC-HC and a decent s
