Great show and yes, I listen to it at work.  I was wanting to know what is the difference bewteeen 2x, 4x, 8x, and 12x blu-ray read speed.  I mean, if the movie is not skipping or jiddering, what's the point.  Is it for picture in picture, additional soundtrack, or pop up menus?  Please explain.  My PS3 seems to be doing great.  What else could one ask for.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zoran]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 11:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[I usually listen to the podcast while driving to/from work, and as for the volume, I notice the opposite.   The volume matches the setting that i listen to mp3s at, and OTHER podcasts, like Penny Arcade, need to up their volume to YOUR level.<br><br>A non-issue for computer listening, IMO.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[locke6854]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 1:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[When talking about the "level" problem of the podcasts, what are people talking about?  Are they talking about the volume?  Are they talking about the frequency response?  I'm a bit confused because your show is just the two of you talking.  What are people expecting?  Booming bass and high treble?<br><br>If the complaint is about overall volume, then run your show through a "Normalize" function before you transcode it to it final formats.  Normalizing from what I've seen is a pretty standard function of most audio editors.<br><br>If the complaint is that we can't hear all of the frequencies in your melodious voices (*cough*), what's the big deal?  You're not playing music, so complaining about a narrow frequency response for a voice-only podcast is kind of like complaining that a soda that you just pulled from the cooler is at 40 degrees instead of 34 degrees.  :)  Better yet, it's more like bitching about high-def DVDs offering a Dolby Digital, 7.1, super-high-bitrate track, but -- OH MY GOD!!!! IT'S NOT LOSSLESS!!!!  { insert evil grin here }<br><br>I would agree about the volume level, in which case a basic Normalize should handle that problem easily.  If the complaint is about the response frequency of the podcast -- pfft.  Whatever.  :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 1:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[PRETTY sure people don't care about the crisp highs, warm mids, and deep bass extension of ben and steve's voices, man.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[locke6854]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 2:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jeez, you mean it wasn't obvious *enough* that it was sarcasm?  :P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[ah man, and on top of that i missed my joke opportunity--<br><br>"the crisp highs of ben's voice, and the deep bass extension of steve's"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[locke6854]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 2:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[i listened to the podcast on my computer, on my way to work, while jogging, AT work and made some of my customers listen to it, and one time i listened to it with a friend in his car and we were listening and that was the only podcast where i was mentioned.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RockinOscar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 2:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ben, American Psycho is the 2000 movie with Christian Bale.

It was the least expensive HD-DVD player at the time and the HD downloads are a plus.  I still think Xbox Live content is too expensive.  If they offered a reasonable monthly unlimited subscription service (ala Vongo, but HD) I would sign up in a heartbeat. I have the 360 connected via Ethernet to my XP media center PC and it streams HD content to a 50" Panasonic DLP very well.  Biggest problem is lack of WMV-HD content on the net.  Still waiting for someone to offer a Tru2way HD tuner to replace the dual SD tuner in my existing desktop.<br><br>Listen at work<br><br>I receive new releases (including HD-DVD in the past) from Blockbuster the day of release all the time.  I was a Netflix subscriber for 3 years, and a Blockbuster subscriber now for almost as long. The in-store exchanges makes it a much better deal.  I have never regretted the switch.  I typically put my returns in the drop box on Monday morning and have my next movies shipped Monday afternoon (even new releases to available in stores).<br><br>Great podcast guys ... I look forward to the new one every Wednesday]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jpschneid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2008 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 076 - 03.12.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/engadget-hd-podcast-076-03-12-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[And I realize that you guys have talked about quality of pixels and stuff.

Have you ever tried running HDMI over 35ft?  It's painful, and it usually results in annoying sparklies.  My Optoma HD7300 is extremely picky when it comes to HDMI.  The highest quality monoprice HDMI cable didn't cut it, and neither did the 2nd best cable from Bluejeans cable.  I ended up spending $100 on a bonded pair series-1 cable from bluejeans.  It was the only cable that worked reliably between my video processor and projector.  Search AVS and you'll find similar stories.  25ft or less is easy for HDMI, go any longer and you have to buy high quality cables. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cckrobinson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2008 10:26PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
