Yahoo & Intel Seek to Annoy Us More?
Yahoo& Intel announced a new chip technology geared towards set top boxes and TV’s that enable a “widget channel.” I’m hoping to learn more about this, but all the screen shots displayed so far just look like interactive versions of those lower thid advertisements that have gotten out of control lately (i’m looking at you USA networks).
Being the geek that I am, I love anytime you make my video more interactive, but please for the love of Odin’s Beard (yes I stole that from Buzz Out Loud episode #792) please do not just implement that interactivity in pop up ads and weather trackers – i have enough of both, thank you.

Well, for better of worse, you have found yourself in my little corner of the web.
RWVC.com is a sister-site for my book, Real World Video Compression, which was published by Peachpit. The goal of this site, much like the book, is to demystify video compression and help those looking to tackle problems they are having converting their video from one format to another.
