Toshiba's Cell-based HD GPU - SpursEngine SE1000

The Cell CPU used in the PS3 has a PowerPC RISC core (on a par with a G4), plus eight Synergistic Processing Element (SPE) cores for vector data. Toshiba are developing a graphics card for the PC with four of these SPE cores. Apparently they are pushing this for encoding and decoding MPEG 2 and H.26...

Using yyyymmdd is nice and clear, while dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy as in your suggestion are very ambiguous.

Re: Turn Titles into Chapters

In your case, I guess you want to use ALL the DVDs titles? If not, then the you'd also need a way of specifying which ones (and possibly also in which order) which is MUCH more complicated.

Re: Ripped movies not compatible with iPhone/iPod

I cannot make any ripped movie work with the iPod, but they will work with the Sansa and the new Sonys (which are AWESOME, by the way!) The only way I get the movies to work is changing the codecs to MPEG-4 AAC settings, which doesn't appear in any of the settings that I'm aware of. Most annoying. ...

Didn't apple change something in the Apple TV "take 2" software to do with how they handle anamorphic? That might explain your problem - if HB 0.9.2 is targetting only what the revised Apple TV supports.
