My Work in H.264

Hate to chime in here guys, but H.264 is not an apple product, standard, development or any other sort of proprietary Apple development.

H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 and AVC, and it is an international standard that's been widely adopted in the Videoconferencing industry for some time now, where it's used to attain a higher level of video quality in calls under 384k of bandwidth. TANDBERG, Polycom and others have been implementing H.264 capabilities in their chipsets and software for over two years at this point. (although my experience has shown that the actual use is only now catching up with the product)

Here's a link to the actual published standard:

http://www.itu.int/rec/recommendation.asp?type=items&lang=e&parent=T-REC-H.264-200503-P

As it's based on a series of patents, companies using H.264 are expected to pay patent royalties, and a private company named MPEG LA is holds the primary portfolio for patents included under the H.264 standard.

So, H.264 is not an Apple product, is not exclusive to Quicktime, and is not limited to Macs.

Sorenson Squeese 4.1 for MPEG-4 already does it, as does Nero Digital.
 
No I agree with mino and tbanucci, I said that as a joke. I have a mac and have had one for years so that is what I know to edit on. But at the same time I would not say that Mac is the best or only way to go and pc's are just crap. I hate that whole argument. Most mac useres have a pc as well I'm using my pc laptop right now. They are both just tools and what ever tool works best for you that is the one you should use.
 
OK, man... on this next take I'm gonna explore the studio space. I mean... if imgentertainment@mac wants to hear more cowbell, then I think I owe it to him to play the *hell* out of this cowbell. :)
 
man...

****.. I was happy when I saw 3 pages of replies.. but then come to find the thread I started sliding into a **** fest..

bah... I don't think I will post anymore... people can't stay on topic..

damn thread hijacking...

BTW... every should just use the VirtualBoy from nintendo... problem solved.
 
I feel for ya Loki....Man if I had a buck for every thread I started that got hijacked, I'd be livin in a swank house in Rosedale and I'd have a few orders in for the HVX200.....
 
"Before we're done here, you'll be wearing gold-plated diapers."

"What does that mean?"

"Never question Bruce Dickinson!"
 
Hijacking is almost a compliment to the original poster. Without the 1st post the entire tangent couldn't have been started. It was the catalyst. It's like a brainstorm session that starts on a certain topic and then branches out into unexplored territories. Sometimes it starts a life of its own, sometimes it comes full circle and revisits the original post.

Example:
PC's, Mac's, and Cowbells all have their place in this world. Different instruments for different tunes. ...Either way, Loki sure used the right instrument when he chose the h.264 codec for his website videos. They look great!

There, we covered the hijacking and the original topic. :)
