Where did I put my portable movie screen?
Scotsman – Dec 22, 2007
What sets these apart is they’re wireless with a built-in media player. lder versions had to be plugged into a laptop or games console. With the Qingbar GP300 all you have to do is slip in an SD card containing a movie in Divx format and watch what appears to be a 50in screen two metres in front of you. And if you turn up the volume in the speakers built into the arms of the glasses high enough you won’t be able to hear the people sniggering around you. If I haven’t put you off you can order a pair of the glasses from the Australian company YelloMosquito for the bargain price of US 299 (£147) before they go up to US 399 (£197). ?

Transfer From PC To PS3?
Digital Spy – Dec 22, 2007
Hi AllNow that my ps3 is able to playback divx files I would like to shift some files from my pc to my ps3. Now the 2 ways I have found so far is by either. (a) Burning divx files to dvd then loading on the PS3(b) connecting my ext hdd to the PS3 and loading the files from that. Both of the above ways do work but are a pain in the arse as I gotta either burn to disc or unplug the ext hdd from pc then plug into the ps3. Does anybody know how I can move the files from the pc to the ps3 & make use of the hdd in the ps3 ?.

The list of possibilities is therefore huge. The latest standard line-up includes three different versions of Indeo Cinepak and the venerable Video 1 but there’s also a standard Microsoft version of DV with a special AVI file type all of its own. Windows Media Video 9 various manufacturer-specific versions of DV M-JPEG and numerous flavours of MPEG-4 can be added too the most popular being DivX. DirectShow is an evolution of Video for Windows into the world of DirectX. It’s essentially another container above Video for Windows. Advanced Systems Format (ASF which includes WMV and WMA) MPEG MP3 and WAV files can all be handled by DirectShow as well as AVIs. Source files are parsed into their separate video and audio streams which are then sent to their respective decoders.
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200.11 Hard Drive

Rather than word documents and the like we are storing movies music and pictures as well which by their nature even when under compression require large amounts of storage space. If you’re planning on recording from your TV to store your favourite TV episodes or movies even 500GB can run out pretty quick. Today’s hard disks have moved to extreme sizes with the latest drives to hit the 1TB barrier and this will soon be broken with new technologies for improving storage densities. We have been given a new HDD from Seagate to test based on their ever growing Barracuda 7200 series this being the 11th generation drive which they call the 7200.
