  I'm not quite ready to share the bits with everyone (private beta just started); so a screenshot will have to do. Posted Jan 24 2011, 07:48 PM by babgvant with 3 comment(s) Filed under: SageDCT

• Samsung Focus - Upgrade microSD

  WP7 Public Service Announcement: I was concerned by all the microSD noise around upgradeable Windows Phone 7 (WP7) devices that came out after launch so I held off picking up a card hoping for a list of "official" cards.  With that not forthcoming and a shortage of space looming I decided to pick up this WINTEC 16GB microSDHC and see if it would work.  So far so good, been about a week and no issues noted that weren't present with the stock device.   Posted Jan 17 2011, 07:26 PM by babgvant with no comments Filed under: WP7, Public Service Announcement, Windows Phone 7

• Sandy Bridge: Review & DVRMSToolbox QuickSync Support

  For anyone interested, my review of the Intel Core i5-2500K and BH67BL motherboard went up on MissingRemote Sunday night. It was cool playing with the hardware, but the added transcode support (aka QuickSync) added to the platform was really interesting to me and relevant to my other hobby. I mentioned in the review, but forgot to post something here (until now) - the latest Early Access rev of DTB has QuickSync support built in.  I still need to sort some stuff out, but the results have been very promising (i.e. very similar to what I'm seeing with MediaConverter 7).  Hopefully with the review out of the way, I'll have more time to play with this feature and get it all working right.
