The over-reliance on Red Pill Mode by "power" users is a recipe for disaster, and a source of laziness on the part of packagers. Only today I saw that the Jalimo packages provide a...

Re: Transcode.sh Script

That bitrate is almost certainly too high for the tablet to handle on a codec as complex as h.264.

Indeed. I'm fairly certain that rdcinhou didn't mean to imply that:


There's a working implementation, they just can't release.

It's hardly my fault that you think the contact button is useless or that there's nothing with which you can replace it. I've explained the situation as it...

Re: convert videos using n800?

Re: Mediabox or Mplayer?

MediaBox is a pretty front-end to mplayer.
