This is only gong to be interesting to my friend Jason Lewis but I spent all night getting up to date on web video compression. I was happy to discover that a new open source codec called VP3 is kicking some ass. (I probably won't be using it on primco.org but I almost did) I tested it out and it competes nicely with the new version of Sorenson Pro. Neither are as good as Windows Media but... I just had too many problems trying to get my "artist" friends with their Macs using WMV.

So I’m gonna upgrade the video one more time on my site. The new SV3.1 codec will allow me to go 640x480 at the same size or to halve the size of all my files, making the easer to download. I think I’m gonna go for the bump in quality. I also discovered a new version of Cleaner – 5.1 that should make things a little less buggy. Things are looking better in computerland. Now if only it would stop raining so I can make my skate video.
