    I've loved Creative ever since I was in my early teens and I handled R.M.A. for an exporting company. I don't know how they are now, but the few times I've had to return anything from them they made it a breeze. I hold the products of any company with such care for their consumers with at least some regard. #ziilabszms08

    @Digo: I bought an MP3 player from them like 10 years ago. They made the power jack and the headphone jack the same size, and put them right next to each other.

    Of course, one day I put the power cord in the wrong one, and the sound never worked again. I hesistate at Creative's decisions since then.

    That along with terribly slow support on their sound cards with new OS releases. Vista took what, 2 years to support decently? Assuming they even do now. #ziilabszms08

    Where's that chart about how close you need to sit to tell the difference between 720 and 1080? I think at 4.3 inches, the screen has to be in your skull. #pmp

    I actually have a video question to ask you guys. I just got some HD video files to play on my HTPC only to discover that they're in the nearly useless (at least for what I'm trying to do) MKV container format. They are h.264 video and AC3 encoded audio. What would you guys say is the best program to use to convert them to a more usable format like AVI or MP4? #pmp

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected:

    MKV is actually a pretty useful container. If you haven't done so already, you can download ffdshow-tryouts to play the content in basically any media player (including WM Player, and by extension, likely Windows Media Center if that's what you use).

    However, if you really do want to reeencode:

    Windows: I like SUPER. Pretty easy to use, and a lot of options if you're so inclined.
    For anything else (or alternative for Windows): Avidemux works really well. This program would also allow you to do some minimal clipping, color correction, etc. #pmp

    xvid and divx?

    @Woozle Wozzle: xvid and divx are codecs, all of the above are container formats for those codecs. AVI likely implies some xvid and dvix support, but it's hard to know for sure. You can encode basically any format and put it in any container.

    I'd be more worried about trying to fit much 1080P content onto 8GB. #pmp

    In reply to Patriot Offers Cheap 1080p Media Streaming In a Box
    Yea, Patriot is a decent name in Ram. Good to see they're branching out a bit with this. I always enjoy seeing new HTPC alternatives. My only concern is that they made it too small, with only a 2.5in drive space. Having to use a smaller size drive means more cost, or bulking up the whole thing with a big external drive.

    I'd have to suggest spending another $200 or so and building an HTPC with boxee on it. #streaming
