Media Players Gone Mad!

Been able to grab a hold of the Lost Season 2 pilot. [I've had it for close to a week]

I haven't been able to watch it though Windows Media Player can't seem to find the right codecs for it! Well because I'm such an airhead I didn't even try playing it with other media players. Currently I have Windows Media Player 10, QuickTime Pro 7, Real Player 10, and VLC Media Player on my notebook.

Surprise surprise QT hanged when I tried opening the avi, RP gave a glimmer of hope [ah just like WMP trying to download the codecs] saying it needed additional files for it to play the file, I click OK a few seconds of searching and it presents me with an error message: "There are no updates for this...blah blah..."

Alas it's VLC Media Player to the rescue!!! Wooohooo! Really glad Chi installed this on my notebook. So far I've played DVDs, Final Fantasy 7: AC with subtitles [avi], and now I can watch Lost's season 2 pilot! Kewl! Really useful application... I bow to Chi Chi Bhoy [Macho Man and Computer Expert Extraordinaire]. Salamat Men :o)

Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau.
