If everything is in focus and everything is out of focus, you can make the DOF as wide or narrow as you want, I'm guessing.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess the apps have more control than what I've seen so far. I mean, that I'm getting the somewhat parsed product.
TVMobili installed like a dream, but my TV can't see it as a DLNA server. I will look into this tomorrow and see if it does serve content to Samsung TVs. It doesn't seem to serve to the WebOS pad so far, but that's the only mobile device I've yet tried.

Okay, I fiddled with Windows Firewall, and TVMobili is now visible.
I really need to work out what makes files playable and what doesn't, so I can either address it on the ripping/download side (limited freedom there), or find a tool that allows me to plug in codecs for transcoding. So far, just playing with this product and my tablet, and things look good, better than the other Windows servers, but this is all so damned *random*.
I mean, when I look at battlestar_galactica.1x10.the_hand_of_god.ws_pdtv_xvid-fov.[BT].avi and battlestar_galactica.1x09.secrets_and_lies.ws_pdtv_xvid-fov.[BT].avi, the former streams just fine to my tablet, and the latter doesn't. When I open them in VLC, it says they both have the same MPEG-4 codec, the same 640x368 resolution, the same frame rate 0f 25fps. I can't work out what the other differences might be, and how to address them.
Does anyone know?

Huh. That's really baffling.

TenFourFox is Firefox 10.x recompiled to run on the PowerPC processor.

Someone's having problems playing an MKV file on OS X with VLC. This is a file I played fine on my Mac, but she's being told she needs an audio decoder. I don't recall having taken any extra steps downloading anything for my install. What might she have to do to get up and running? I though VLC was supposed to be the one stop solution.
Let me make sure she has the most recent version...

So, I think VLC plays everything. I understand the new version of VLC doesn't play well with Handbrake, but this may change.
Is the person running Snow Leopard or Lion?

She's upgrading now. Maybe that will fix it.
VLC not playing everything shakes the fundamental keystone of my belief system. Please don't let it shatter.
