The third man trailer

DigiTimes this morning ran an article noting many top-tier Wintel manufacturers including HP are reducing the number of models they offer with Blu-ray optical drives due to the high prices from the OEMs and consequently slower customer adoption due to higher prices for machines with Blu-ray drives compared to those that are not. This piece? I dont really see what you the third man trailer being in With the average selling price ASP of Blu-ray notebooks remaining at the high-end of the market, several notebook vendors have started to lower their proportion of Blu-ray models as global economic worries increase, according to sources at notebook vendors. Asustek Computer originally planned to feature a Blu-ray drive in its upcoming N80 and N50 notebooks. However, due to shifts in market demand, the company recently noted that only the N50 will feature a Blu-ray drive. However, Asustek also said that the company is still optimistic about the Blu-ray notebook market and will launch two new Blu-ray notebooks with panel sizes of 18 and 19-inch in December this year, and will focus its Blu-ray offerings on large size notebooks in 200 On the other hand, Acer is not planning to launch any new Blu-ray notebooks in the second half of this year. The proportion of new desktop and notebook PCs launched in the third quarter of 2008 equipped with Blu-ray Disc BD optical drives, BD-ROM or BD Combo or BD burner was lower than originally expected due to ODM/OEM makers being unwilling to lower their quotes for BD drives to levels acceptable for PC vendors, according to industry sources in Taiwan. International PC vendors, including Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Asustek Computer, have asked global ODM/OEM makers, mainly Hitachi-LG Data Storage HLDS, Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology TSST, Pioneer and Taiwan-based Lite-On IT, to decrease quotes to less than US100 for a BD Combo drive and US70-80 for a BD-ROM drive as the main condition the third man trailer their adopting the devices in large volumes, the sources pointed out. However, the ODM/OEM makers are looking to maintain profits in the BD segment and are looking to avoid competition through price-cuts, the sources indicated. Well, been playing around with the latest Handbrake SVN. Seems if you have the appropriate Blu-Ray video rip MPEG-2 or H. 264 with AC3 you can transcode at 1080p with AC3 passthrough and 14 mbps bit rate for no loss of video quality. This plays very nicely with Plex and cuts the file size in half about 12 gb from 25 gb m2ts source. Plex keeps getting better and better. Now all we need is the ability to deal with VC-1 and DTS and HD audio and life would be good. Well, been playing around with the latest Handbrake SVN.

If Ive got nice tvs I want archive and play all my media in as high quality as I can from my discs and dont really appreciate the offers of itunes and atv. These and frontrow leave me deeply unsatisfied when compared to what I can achieve with a free app from xbmc and a cupboard full of HDDs. While not what you meant, I havnt seen enough screenshots showing off what all our macs should be doing! xbmc has a load of nice skins, I tend to cycle between these two: Could you post some screen shots? 1080 if possible. Yes, later tonight after I get home and get the kids in bed. Have you tried Plex yet? XMBC Atlantis is a nice improvement, but I find Plex to be more Mac-friendly.
