I am trying to find a simple solution that will allow me to upload and play videos on my website in a format similar to google video or YouTube, but it doesn't look like there's really anything good out right now that does that. The closest thing I've found is to convert the video to flash (flv) on a local computer, then upload the file to my webserver, then play that back with an FLV player.
I've attached a sample video below so you can see how Riva's encoder performs. It's really crappy in my opinion, so I may just go back to using Google Video / YouTube. The original video was taken with my Cell Phone at 640 x 480 resolution in 3G2 format. It was approximately 250kb in size. I had the Riva encode shrink it down to 320 x 240 and somehow the video quality got worse (blockiness) and the size of the file went up to nearly 1 MB.

My nephew, Braden, was going to be coming in town this past weekend and I
really wanted to get a Nintendo Wii so we could have something fun to
play. At least that's what I've been telling everyone else. I think
the other half of it is Laura said it is a gaming system she would actually be
interested in playing. I spent a couple hours on Friday calling places and
trying to find one. I searched high and low, but couldn’t find anywhere
that had them. It seems like every time a store got them in stock they
would sell out within a matter of hours.

Before my xbox 360 even arrived I was thinking about modding it. I
think the ability to mod the 360 is another one of the tipping points that pushed me over the
edge in purchasing the 360. While you can’t currently use
homebrew apps on the 360, I’m hoping you will be able to sometime in
the future. After a week of having the xbox I decided to purchase a mod-chip for
it.

Graphics Make Games Fun AgainMan am I glad I got the Xbox 360 Elite. The graphics are absolutely amazing. Before getting one I really didn’t think of the next-gen consoles (Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360) as a revolutionary change in the gaming industry like other consoles generations have been. I knew the technical specs sounded great on paper, but I didn’t think the graphics held up to my standards. After playing Lost Planet for a few hours, I can say the graphics / visuals are definitely revolutionary.
Link to Blog Article Another Round of New ToysI just went through another round of buying toys and I’m not sure I’m quite done yet. My most recent purchases include yet another large hard drive (500 gig), next-gen game console, speaker wire, and more.
