Exciting developments.

Another long break from updating the blog. Yes, I know. I’ve been researching and writing this massive article about 3D at home for Hifimaailma magazine, and it’s finally done, out of the gate. Off you go, version 1.0 of the copy, ready to be savaged and brutally torn apart by the folks who actually put the magazine together. I have a nasty feeling I haven’t seen the last of you yet…

And wouldn’t you just know it: I’ve now been hired to write an article about 3D for another magazine. Luckily for me I need to approach the subject from a slightly different point of view for the 2nd article, so it’s not going to be a simple re-hashing of the first one. Not that I wouldn’t mind that at all; it would save a bit of time. Maybe. Or more likely not.

Anyhoo! I’ve had a whale of a time doing research for the article(s) and I’ve learned a lot of new things. It’s what makes life living for, I’d say. I’m well chuffed about the whole 3D lark, to be honest. Can’t remember the last time something got me quite this excited! You see, I’ve learned not only how to shoot, edit and post 3D, but I’ve had a number of rather intriguing ideas and, dare I say, epiphanies. And I will do my best to share them all with you, once I get my hands on a few missing pieces of information, hardware and software.

So, prepare yourself for a series of long-ish blog posts about what you can achieve with a remarkably small amount of money and carefully scavenged knowledge. Coming soon… ish.

Good news for H.264 compressionists.

I’m building a video editing workstation and decided to upgrade my Canopus EDIUS 4 to version 5. While looking for info on the upgrade pricing, I found Grass Valley’s Firecoder Blu. It’s supposed to encode Blu-ray specced H.264 from HD source at speeds up to 2x real-time. That’s 48 frames per second which is far better than the 12-15 frames per second I get with a brand spanking new Intel Core i7 920. View full article »
