There are people on AVSforum who claim to see the stutter from the repeated frame every ~40 seconds. I also have a few friend IRL who are in HTPC's who complain about stutter on Intel solutions, but have no issues with the ATI cards. Personally, I haven't tried an Intel Clarkdale solution, and...

If you're looking for proper blu-ray playback equivalent to a standalone player it's a pretty big deal if you're looking to take advantage of the high quality audio found on the discs. Without it, you're limited to analog outputs, encoding it to DTS or DD and passing it over TOSlink or co-ax...

The integrated graphics in the Clarkdale based processors support HDMI 1.3 and bitstreaming of the advanced audio codecs. (as do Fermi based nVidia cards and 5xxx Radeon cards)

If the content on the disc is encoded at 23.976FPS and you're outputting it at 24FPS, where does the extra .024 FPS come from? It comes from a duplicated frame every so many seconds, which gives you a stutter. Intel's answer is full of crap since stand alone blu-ray players don't have the same...

With WinXP Pro you could get by with 1GB of RAM. BTW, there's a hack to enable remote desktop server support on Win 7 Home Premium. I don't think that HTPC build supports passing the advanced audio codecs on Blu-Ray discs via HDMI though.

I guess you didn't look very hard. link As I said it doesn't output 1080p23.976 (like it should when you set it to 1080p24) and as a result it has a stutter problem. However, if you're not after proper 1080p24 and don't plan to use anything other than 1080p60 / 1080i60 / 720p60 it shouldn't...

I think it's because it doesn't support 23.976FPS. I haven't looked into it too closely, just know that's what been widely reported at AVSforum that it's not the solution to use if you want 1080p24 (really 23.976) so the video will stutter as a result every so many seconds.

I like the HD Homerun assuming you're talking about OTA HDTV or clear QAM. Keep in mind the integrated Intel solution doesn't do 1080p24 correctly.

If you want FLAC files instead of mp3's... Get FLAC 1.2.1b here. Install it and as above set EAC to use a User Defined Encoder on the External Compression tab. Point it to FLAC.EXE (which is where the installer placed it). For additional command-line options: use -6 -V -T "ARTIST=%a" -T...

That depends on the RAID controller. Any real hardware controller requires you to create an array even on a single drive for an OS to see it. At which point the data is unaligned and likely nothing you do will be able to realign it because the blocks the RAID card will be too coarse.

Well, you can't align the partitions when they're on the RAID controller because no utility can see the drive(s) until you create an array on them. By then it's too late to align anything.

Assuming you only want to do this once, and you want to make sure you've done everything as correctly as possible, these instructions are for you. Use EAC and Lame 3.98.4 (don't get any alphas) Unzip LAME somewhere, and install EAC. Let EAC go through it's configuration wizard (make sure you...

The guide is a bit outdated. AccurateRip is now built in to EAC. I'll have to update it.

:o TMI :puke-r:

As far as I know, the HW RAID "incompatibility" is a 4k cluster issue. Not being able to boot from them is an (unless you have a properly implemented EFI BIOS) is a GPT issue.

Given the scenario you describe each of you having an external drive is about the simplest way to go. The next step up would probably be something like a Drobo since it has redundancy built in, but they're a lot more than a basic external drive. IMHO, you don't want to backup over wifi.

Hey, it you don't want good value for you money feel free to ignore said posts. :beye:

Reportedly they work with x86 OS's from Vista on too. My complaint is HW RAID related.

It seems every few years we have one of these threads. 2006 2007

I don't like Kohl's clothes. I thought that as of several years ago they really lowered the quality. My rule of thumb for Kohls is unless it's on clearance, I don't buy it. And, never, ever, ever buy regular priced clothes at Kohls. They typically start clothes out at 50% off within a few...

Not even close. :bomb: And yes I've realized that 222-167 = 55, not 50. :crap:

Perfect... More advanced format drives to avoid.

I went from 222lbs to 167lbs over the course of a year. The first 45lbs dropped in about 6 months. The last 5lbs slowly came off in a the next six months after I sorta stopped trying.

Yeah, by playing it back, recording the output, and then re-compressing it. What a great idea! :hurl:

Probably more like a recycling of the older version. :silent:

I'll send you my address. I promise it'll be super feasible for me to "dispose" of them for you. :rofl:

Well, since the iTunes tracks are DRM infested even if he copied 'em he won't be able to use 'em since they're locked to the account on the other PC (I think that's how it works). They're also aac files (not sure of the extension). I wouldn't recommend transcoding from one lossy format to...

Foobar2k will do it with the exception of album art. Your other option (pay) is DBpoweramp Music Converter. It will keep album art. iTunes doesn't make WMA files though so something seems a bit off with your story.

Well, the note was rather sparse on the details. It just said they received my order by mistake. I don't know if it was inside the package with their order, or what exactly. I'm also not sure that I have their full address. There's no return address on the package, and I'm not sure what's on...

So this has to be the strangest experience I've had with the postal service / FedEx Smartpost... :skepo: On 8/23 I ordered three albums from the UNKLE store at MusicToday. (possible NFSW link due to album art). One was a FLAC download which I referenced here. A week later on 8/30 I got a...

Yeah...

Newegg could learn something from eWiz's HD packaging.

Not sure why. I wouldn't expect any noticeable difference in real use though. I'd get the cheaper one myself.

The 2xAA light has always been popular. :smack: There's always been a stack of 2xAA lights from Fenix, 4Sevens, and others. Even Surefire makes a 2xAA light now. link

So I looked it up and it was purchased new in March of 2006.

So my "new" work laptop is a well used Dell Latitude D610 with a Pentium M 1.86gHz with 2GB of RAM. I didn't check how big the hard drive is. I'm hoping it's only a temporary machine, but being that today was my first day I didn't see the need to crap all over it and be too demanding.

They're quite reasonable for a good quality light. According to some of the more particular members of CPF they're cheap Asian crap because they're not Surefire. :smack:

Have you cleaned the contacts? Made sure the switch is securely screwed in by the retaining ring? In terms of a replacement, I'd recommend something from 4Sevens, but they're a lot more $$ than the Ultrafire.

Too late... I bought one with the coupon code from Superbiiz yesterday. Ironically I got an e-mail from eWiz indicating the drive shipped today. Now I just need like 9 more. :idea:

Thanks for the explanation on the jumper. This only further confirms that I need to get the stack of HD203WI's I had been planning to get.

Just a guess, but I believe the time frame given was in reference to playing the game, not downloading it. :rabbit:

Boy, your commute must just suck. :pirate:

How far is your office from your (current) place?

You have a T1 at home?

So, when are you getting it? :p

Their reseller rating seems good enough. link

Well, you can get one HD203WI for $105 shipped free from http://www.superbiiz.com with their FALL15 coupon. Or, you can get the HD204UI for $95 shipped free using the same coupon.

I'm pretty sure that is the serviceable design. :bomb: It was really quite a fascinating episode. Sean Riley got to free climb down the outside of the tower with the rope/cable used to pull up the larger cable used for the actual lifting.

He's probably replaced the caps on it though. :silent:

I don't think we're going to see any SATA drives larger than 2TB (HD203WI) that aren't 4k sector drives. I don't want to have to buy a new RAID card (I've already got a few PERC 5 & 6's), so that means I need the older style 512 sector drives. I certainly don't need the extra space now, but by...
