Speaking & Other Things @ NAB 2009

With just about 1 week to go before the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) or as I like to think of it every year, “Where did April go?”, I thought I should let anybody attending where they could find me @ the show.

Inlet Technologies (my daytime job) has a booth in the South Lower level – SL5624 and I will be there quite a bit showing off the new announcement we’ve had.

When I’m not there though, I can be found here:

Adobe Talk

“Encoding Best Practices for H.264″

Booth # SL3320 Mon-Wed at 4pm, Thursday at 1:30pm

The Adobe talk is free to anyone with a show floor pass, so drop by and say hi.

Another Review

I hadn’t realized until I was trading emails with Claudia from SFCutters, but Loren Miller recently did a review of RWVC as well – thanks Loren!

BFCPUG – Review: Real World Compression by Andy Beach, PeachPit Press

Peachpit has up an excerpt from RWVC

Hmm – I wasn’t paying attention, but Peachpit put up a sample from my book last week! I think this explains why I got a few random people asking me questions about deinterlacing video this week via email.

Book really is shipping now, no lies!

Andy Beach — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:29:37 +0000

Well, I have received the advance copies and as far as I know, Real World Video Compression should be available in the next week or two!

Here’s a peek at the cover and you can get it through a variety of online book stores, including Amazon.

Done and delivered.

Well now – things are busy, but they just got slightly less busy…

Real World Video Compression is 100% completed and delivered to printing!

Just one more quick update – I’ve finished the first drafts of all chapters, plus the preface. I have the first pass of the laid out chapters 1-4 which i need to mark up this weekend.

Andy Beach — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:04:24 +0000

I am on hard deadlines for the book right now, so I can’t do a whole heck of a lot here, sorry – be patient. The good news is I have loads of content I’m making right now that I can pump out soonish…stay tuned!
