I had a look, but I couldn't quite work out how to do a global search. Search interface seemed a bit klunky too.
Btw, do you think eBay is watching?... see my other post .

at some point, hunting, processing meat on fire and eating, meant a lot to human kind - they could populate areas, which they couldn't before because of insufficiency of food. these were times, when meat was essential for their lives.
but now, we are living in different times, meat is not an necessity anymore.
toxygen wrote: but what do you know about balanced diet? does it imply eating meat? i don't think so. many experts, better than me or you, think it does not.
as i'm not educated in this area very much, i would rather not oppose you or make any statements.

You can get Linux to work but it is rather useless and crippled.
If you can get hold of a copy of Irix (not here though) you will be better off.

There's probably a switch to show it but bugger all if I can find it.
The CPU usage for display with vo_null is because by adding -vf format=rgb24 you enforced colorspace conversion even without displaying anything.
If you really want to benchmark the codec only, skip that one.

At work were I ran a lot of Virtual machines on the desktop and therefore needed more than 4GB RAM with means I needed a 64 bit OS to handle more RAM.
I installed XP 64Bits and found it to be a great OS!
XP64 is really the forgotten OS but as far as I am concerned, perhaps the best OS MS has made.

I even use the previous adapter on the second channel of the DG5 with a non SOG TFT without any problem.

Why is this ? Just curious...
