but did it only last for 30 minutes? Error 500 - Internal server error

An internal server error has occured! Please try again later.


Sorry about that - 1and1 is totally unreliable as a host, and is collapsing under the HN effect.

Reload it a couple of times and it should work.


If a server cannot handle the "HN effect", you should probably host nothing there. Unless of course it's not only the server's fault ;)


I'm thinking Apache with KeepAlive turned on: it kills more blogs than cancer!


That's probably another lesson I should add to the post: Never use 1and1 as your host.


Ouch.. it was looking good and I was considering it for my own startup thingie :)

Any good and cheap Microsoft hosting you can recommend? (as in the 5 to 10 dollar a month range)?


WP SuperCache?


I just got it installed and activated, and deactivated most plug-ins on the blog and website. Hopefully that will solve it.


did they blend it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1ckCkm8YI


except that it misses 90% of what dropbox does. like multi client sync, cross platform, shared folders, web interface and so on


except that it covers 99% of what I actually use dropbox for.


Don't forget thirty days of backups and redundant hardware...


could this be what you really want?


Not likely.


its using video/vp8 as type for webm videos, that has to be video/webm

Name collisions with Orc – The Oil Runtime Compiler http://code.entropywave.com/projects/orc/


sadly Quicktime is broken beyond repair, i.e. you can not do HTTP range requests to allow seeking in videos beyond the part that is already downloaded. On top of that Apple knows about this problem but ignores it. They even went one step further and just fixed it for H.264 in Quicktime X. (note that they stopped supporting 3rd party components in Quicktime X)


looking forward to see this integrated into empathy.


Etc, etc, etc. Adding it into existing chat clients is a fairly obvious usage. I'm curious as to what else can be done with it that won't be expected.


Looking forward to see this integrated into Irssi.


I look forward to seeing this integrated into boxee.


No recommendations for the first 5 movies I entered. Looks a bit to generic and mainstream to me.


What titles did you try?


Here is one that I was hoping it would work for: http://clerkdogs.com/movies/51923-intacto-2002/matches

Obscure, but that's kind of the point with this sort of app

On a sidenote: You can definitely resolve the speed issues people are talking / complaining about by pre-computing and storing everything, instead of doing it on the fly


Look for Canon 5D Mark II, it uses h264 and is used for commercial film production


I work part-time for a production company and as far as I know, the industry standard is the RED Camera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RED_Digital_Cinema, whose standard output is 2K-4K RAW.

Compressed formats that interpolate between keyframes (like MPEG) are generally a bad idea since they make precise cutting between clips a lot harder.
