AfterDawn: Tech news

Various stuff..

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 31 Oct 2001 11:56

..today seems to be a bad day in digital multimedia news. I decided to post some various interesting links that might cheer you up. DigitalInsanity.org has an interesting review of 7 different DivX players -- you can read the review from here if you're interested. And yes, Media Player 6.x is included :-)
I found this link from Doom9's site and thought that I should promote this one in our site as well -- everyone who has seen American MusicTV's TRL or other "feature" shows knows that logos, "infospots" and other crap can actually take more than 50% of the TV picture. In the UK, there's a campaign that aims to stop this development and tries to get rid of channel logos totally. Check them out:

Other than that, I once again encourage you to check out our glossary of audio and video terms -- I've added/modified tons of terms in last few days and more will come eventually (and the ones without desc will be fixed within next week or so..). Try it out here:
