lol look at the epic card list you get to choose from for suported cuda cards in 10.8.2

GeForce 200 series:
GTX 285 for MAC

GeForce 100 series:
GT 120

GeForce 8 series:
8800 GT

Quadro series:
4000 for Mac

Quadro FX series:
FX 5600, FX 4800 for MAC

only 3 of those cards will give you a framerate boost with MPE with frame sizes over 1920x1080

OS X NV support includes 5x0 and 6x0 series now. of course I wouldn't be surpised if adobe conveniently ignores that

They weren't DVDs (though somebody did make DVDs that would start to degrade after being exposed to open air). They were discs encoded with the DivX codec instead of MPEG-2, and used a different copy protection system IIRC.

You had to have a DivX player, and they had built-in modems and had to be connected to a phone line to work.

they used mpeg-2 just like a dvd. in 1998 mpeg-2 hardware was expensive as gently caress; i used to have a dsp card that did nothing but decode mpeg-2, it was like $200 in 1997 money

the 'divx' codec was a lame joke. pirate assholes got a leaked copy of a microsoft encoder and decoder, hacked it up to be easy to use with avi containers, and released it with the name "divx ;-)", because divx-the-product was such a lame and bad idea. yes the winky face emoticon was part of the name

i enjoyed the elegance of all pirate videos being released in a format that could only be created/played with pirated software

my first real video experience was listening to kevin pereira's online radio show on lickmysweaty.com

video came across 56k modems at 5-10 fps max in a postage stamp sized video of less than 180px in any dimension. I seem to remember seeing some fatboy slim concert streamed at one point later on in real video's lifespan

company died because they turned it into adware and people were like 'welp'

youre in luck, there are so many parts of mpeg-4 (30) that it would give peter jackson a bonre.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4#MPEG-4_Parts

If I had to take a guess it would be Mpeg-4 Part 4.


:ninja: edit : loooooool its mpeg-4 part 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX#DivX_profiles

xvid was another lame joke, an open sores attempt at implementing "divx ;-)" so that people could stop pirating microsoft codecs

being beardy fucks naturally they named it something very confusing: the name of the pirated thing spelled backwards

anyone remember Vivo, the preferred format in 1997?

it had no keyframes, so no searching or skipping when playing your 160x120 fansubbed Ranma 1/2 OVAs.
