lol remember the quicktime 4 interface

"okay, so the volume control is a little thumbwheel, right?"
"yes sir, Mr. Jobs."
"like those little things on a walkman that you can barely work with your fingernail? don't get me wrong, i don't want an actual dial, here."
"no, it's like a thumbwheel. anything else?"
"yea, let's remove all the buttons except play."
"i'm not sure that's such a good ide-"
"and pause."
"you mean you want a pause button and a play button?"
(silent stare)
"i mean, you can only ever be in play mode or pause mode, never both, so if you want to really go for minimalism, we could just do a bi-modal--"
"you're fired."

that lasted like 8 months before v5 came out with all the real buttons back

i seriously cant read four words of your posts without getting sleepy.

is there a commonly-accepted reason why The Scene has not standardized on HEVC yet? I�m guessing it�s just because dumpster hardware doesn�t have hardware decoding support yet

because "the scene" is notoriously slow in changing their ways? some of them were still splitting movies up into chunks that would fit on CD-Rs in the early 2010s

they did iTunes music upgrades, I don't see why movies would be such a stretch.

the gopros were always horrible trash but i maintain that the hobbit movies don't make sense without 48fps

also man, hi-8. i transferred a bunch of hi-8 tapes earlier this year and they are a bad, bad format.

same actually. rescued some family memories that would have wasted away with that terrible format. i used a camcorder i bought from an amazon seller and it worked well

do you regret learning about video compression?

i can watch and enjoy an flv that has been transcoded like 20 times without the burden of all the vocabulary youre throwing around in here weighing on my mind and i've gotta tell you it feels pretty good
