Watch IPtv shows on your standalone DivX player while saving up bandwidth.

So, you just got into video blogs and video podcasts, you want to watch them on your TV through your standalone DivX player while you want to save bandwidth by not having to download the huge XviD (or DivX) version of the show ( if that is even available.. )
Here's a quick tip : Simply download the H.264 version ( .mov) and convert it to .avi in no time with Pocket DivX Encoder using the Home Theater profile it offers. This way you download a file that has a fraction of the size of the XviD (or DivX) , you convert it in a flash ( I've been getting 90fps compression ) and finally record it on a disc or pass it through USB on your iZak or hard disc enclosure and enjoy it on your TV.

lackluster releases under digilog (net)label.

Finnish born electronic music composer lackluster has released his lax ep on digilog.gr (net)label.
The 7 track ep is a gathering of ambient and summer chill out tunes that will give your relaxing moments a soothing soundscape.
Head over to digilog.gr and grab it. Being a (net)label release means you can download it for free and enjoy it as much as you want without looking behind your shoulder for the MPAA. With that in mind it's your obligation to download it..

Pocket DivX Encoder gets the job done!

I've been using divx encoding software for more than 7 years now and the one piece of software that I discovered just recently was the one I was looking for, for quite some time now.
I was out and about looking for a transcoder that would compress videos so that I could watch them on my PDA and on the "The Core Pocket Media Player" page I found some reference to PocketDivXEncoder.
This encoder not only did the job right, it recompressed the video in blazing fast speed. Be aware though that not only does it have compression profiles for PDAs and hadhelds it also has profiles for home cinema use, now that comes in handy in all the cases you want to view a vidcast on your stadalone or hard disk enclosure player.
I've had all sorts of industry approved software crash on me over the past few weeks and PocketDivXEncoder got the job done just right.

digilog netlabel is a go!

Sometimes all it takes to get you excited is a little drive from some close friends and you end up with designing your first fully CSS compatible website, wich in turn happens to be a netlabel promoting music created by other friends and artists.
I am talking about the launch of digilog a netlabel started by some of my buddies and coded by me ( don't get me started on Internet Explorer CSS support.. ). All I have to say is pay a visit and download our first release, it will get you pumpin' in no time.
More on the subject later..
