Last night I download a copy of the first "FireFly" episode from Kazaa. I ran it through the virtual dub program, did the first pass, then the second and Holy cow! My Divx dreams had come true. After I download the 70M, 45 min program onto my axim, I pushed the brightness up and the video played PERFECT! I love this Axim! The guide from pocketmatrix (http://www.pocketmatrix.com/guides/dvd2divx/) does work! And I used Divx5 codec!

I compressed a 600+ vid of an MTV Unplugged episode down to 90+ megs and the quality was top notch, freakin amazing. I also followed the guide on pocketmatrix.com, 'cept I went ahead with DivX 5.02 also. They should get that guide up to date regarding PocketMVP and DivX 5.02!!

Sigh - Firefly. Proof that network idiots and Nielson viewers know crap about good television.

Finally a good show comes on the air and it doesn't even get a full season!! So unfair. Someone should be shot!

And from what I've heard, everyone has turned down taking the show, even UPN. ouch.



Edit : Sorry, this is WAY off topic, but I figured I needed to whine somewhere

I wasn't so lucky... I tried the pocketmatrix directions on The Martix movie which was in .avi to begin with and it said it had a problem with the source file, even though I was able to watch the preview. So, I assume this was a large .avi of Firefly and you &quot;recompressed&quot; it??

Actually, it was a large MPEG flile that VirtualDub converted, then compressed, while upping the brightness, and rotating 90 degrees to the left to make is full screen on my Axim. I love my new found talent!!!

I've got an example available from the most recent shuttle launch. (01.16.2003)

Shuttle Launch Video

The link will take you to a page with details and a link to the file. (~7mb)
Comments and/or suggestions welcomed.

Oh - don't get me started on MY &quot;Farscape&quot; rant! I will surely miss Moya and her crew...

Ack! I will miss Farscape too!

BUT... you know the &quot;last season&quot; (assuming some other network doesn't pick it up) started like 2 weeks ago, right? If not, jump on scifi channel at 8pm EST tonight! Only 9 episodes left!

p.s. you missed chiana in a bikini

Okay - multiple quotes in one post... sorry!

I agree... I loved Titus! Brilliant writing, funny show. Same goes for a lot of other stuff they've had. But I still loved Firefly - such a great show with such amazing potential! Then it gets stuck on Friday's at 8pm! But no - John Doe, that crappy piece of... um... crap, stays on! I don't get it. Stupid Fox, and stupid Nielson people that wouldn't know good TV if it ran up and steamrolled them...

I heard about that! How idiotic... stupid stuff like that just makes me angry

You never know, maybe it'll be made available on DVD?

Of course, I never did end up actually seeing Farscape - heard it was really good, but in Canukville, we don't get the Sci-Fi channel, just the crappy Canadian version, whatever it is. Can't respect a show that doesn't even have MST3k!

Okay... so only two quotes, but I'm happy now, I've ranted - and I still have hope for Firefly, darn it!!!

Not much hope, but some!

Nick
