6/12 SupRip 1.16 improves handling of languages that have accents below letters.
Seeing is believing - that's the way I approach video quality - and according to their press release, so does German codec maker dicas who just announced that their encoding metrics for AVC content mean 30% less data rate at the same quality. I wonder if that's compared to x264 with the proper settings or to a certain encoder from that fruit company that managed to sell boatloads of phones purely on design and never mind the fact that the feature set lacks behind the rest of the industry by several generations (no it's not June 19th yet and yes I have not only one but two ;)
Shock and disbelief - but they remain undeterred. After all, the Constitutional Council only throw out 10% of the three strikes legislation. Or did they? Wasn't the whole thing about not having to go to a court of law and considering the accused guilty until proven otherwise. If you take that away, isn't the whole thing like a civil case on copyright infringement? And so, the "good little soldiers for the RIAA" (oops.. they say copyright but I I have an involuntary reflex that cuts right through the disguises ;) will keep on fighting on behalf of the industry.
Some time, it can be a good thing to live in Europe but not be part of the European Union. While the European Union passed extensive snooping laws that gave past dictators and despots to turn in their graves from envy, Norway is quite serious about online privacy - 3 weeks and then ISPs have to erase all data. How long do you think it'll take for the industry to find a good little Norwegian solder to bring forth a law to correct this "situation"?
