Screening From a Blu-Ray? Skip It!

A few years ago, a local members-only golf club here in Jackson, WY started having occasional movie screenings followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. This started because one of the members, a film producer specializing in documentaries, approached the club owners with the idea. It’s been a hit with the club’s patrons and last […]

Current Nightly Build of Handbrake is AWESOME!

In my current quest to get all of my DVDs and Blu-Rays transcoded to H.264 for viewing on Apple TV and iPad, I’ve run into a major glitch: subtitles and HD audio on Blu-Ray discs. The current shipping version of Handbrake (version 0.9.8) doesn’t recognize subtitles on Blu-Rays (Version 0.9.9 now available, see end of […]

Glue Tools PhantomCine GPU Speed Tests

The new version of Glue Tools PhantomCine Toolkit, in this case, 3.1.2693, has Open CL GPU acceleration.

ioSafe Solo G3 – A False Sense of Security

My sister-in-law has recently picked up photography (and she’s awesome!), so my brother has been asking me about a backup and archive system for her photos. I’ve been piecing some options together specific to her business as a photographer, which will become a series of posts here on the blog. During this process, he sent […]
