AntiPack was intended as a starting point in that it only includes high quality hardware accelerated codecs for the most popular A/V formats, but does not support everything. If you need more, ffdshow should be next on your list. It provides the most full featured software video and audio decoder of any OSS or free DirectShow filter; because of this […]

Yamaha is trying some new things with this neoHD system and setup, and while it does deliver on a couple points, the author at Gizmodo feels it’s still a work in progress. I prefer a more traditional looking receiver, but in the end it’s all about quality and performance. If interested, it’s good to hear that setup is at least […]

Have to be honest, I thought Gyration stopped developing products a while ago. While I was never a fan of their keyboard/mouse devices personally–just never quite got the hang of it–their integrated Gyration Media Center Remote Control I did find very unique and effective.
