DCA (alleged Cancer cure drug) is back in the news

 

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn12369-illegal-cancer-drug-website-shut-down.html

Back in January I posted this story about DCA, a simple and readily-available drug that seems to cure cancer in lab animals, but has yet to go to trial.

Turns out its not the wonder drug everyone thinks it is, and people are breaking the law to make it and sell it illegally.

It's a shame, really. Still, proper trials haven't started yet, so I'll be watching it.

For the record, I don't have Cancer, but as a human being I'm interested in seeing the big diseases cured in my lifetime.

Silverlight Video + Camtasia = Tricky

 

Silverlight Video + Camtasia = Tricky... but doable.  The goal of this exercise was to find the best way to create a Silverlight version of dnrTV using the Microsoft Expression Media Encoder. I'm not going to make this a long-winded post with no meat, so let's get right to the settings to make Camtasia videos look good in Silverlight.  For this test I used a WMV video created with Camtasia Studio 4 as the source video. It's 1024x768 recorded at 5 frames per second, with mp3 encoded audio. 

I experimented with different codecs, and basically decided that the WMV Web Server Broadband codec was the lowest I could go without the video looking blotchy. The higher bandwidth codecs really didn't add quality to the image, only file size.



By far, the most important setting in Expression Media Encoder is the Video Complexity. Turn it off! A complex video is one that moves fast. Screens move slowly. Get it? This might be counter-intuitive, but turn it off if you want a good screen video in Silverlight.



The next thing I had to do was to Uncheck "Lock to Profile" in the Video Size area. I had to put in 1024x768 to force it to output at the native resolution.

Finally in the Output tab, you can pick a template for the look-and feel of the video player. I found that all of the templates except for the Clean Template take up too much screen real estate for a 1024x768 video, but that's just me. I like the Clean Template because its very... well... clean! Only a pop-up navigator at the bottom of the screen.



The video clip I rendered for this demo came out to just over 2 MB per minute... so you can guestimate about 220MB for an hour's worth of video. Is that too big? We'll find out.

Meantime, check out the demo clip from Peter Blum's first dnrTV episode, #75.

Improvements to dnrTV.com

 

We've just completed phase one of a two-part update to dnrtv.com. New features include a real archives page with all shows listed all at once, a new HTTP feed for the zip file, feeds are now data driven like the rest of the pwop shows, and we moved it to a new faster server.

You'll notice the Silverlight button. Right now it's just a button that does nothing. That brings me to phase two, which will include a "watch now with Silverlight" feature, an MP3 download and feeds, and a WMV download and feeds. We're also looking into the feasability of doing an MP4 version for iPods. Hey, if you can read that tiny font, more power to you.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy dnrTV, and keep those great comments coming!

One in a Million

I've noticed that, in recent years, whenever someone uses the term 'one in a million' somebody else is quick to point out that even if you're just one in a million there are roughly 5000 to 6000 other people on earth who are just like you.
