K, well just check any magazine or automotive source. I can't find any that say skid pan.

Nah - I have a table that will show in the popup. I can't do 100% for the width of the table because if the user does not have javascrtipt, the page will open in a normal browser w…

You have to set the width of the new window if you want it to be a specific size. That's just how it works. If you change the width after the window spawns, it'll be noticed. So…

ok... it took around 20 minutes to get this, a fun challange the basic idea: make a new iframe, and load the new page into it. once it's loaded we grab all the content, and pop …

or with popup blockers :-)

in other words, don't do that.

I bought "For The Birds" and "Geri's Game" from ITMS, and those look good on the TV. For other content, I can't comment, really, as I've only tried low-quality stuff (no DVD's), j…

For instance, the Lost episodes on the ITMS rot. The quality is substandard, and for no good reason. They look fine on the iPod, but downright bad on the TV. If they used the h.264…

Are you sure that the iTunes videos aren't h.264? I thought that was what they were using for everything. Remember that iTunes will say "MPEG-4 video" for both h.264 and regular MP…

The iPod supports about a quarter as many pixels as regular TV... the shows I've seen from iTMS look about as good as a VHS tape on extended long play.

Has anyone done any side by side comparisons of the different video codecs? I'd like to see the H.264 vs. mp4 with some still frames highlighting the differences. Perhaps if I ev…

I've really enjoyed the video on the iPod. I would say the quality is about that of a VHS but a little different. You don't get static and noise like you tend to on VHS, on the oth…

Okay, let me put this to rest. At 320 x 240, any video whether it's h.264 or MPEG4 is going to look like crap over a composite connection on a TV (especially if the source video w…
