maculas Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Yeah, you are right at some point! But if it's a fake movie, than he's a great "thumb actor"!

pyrates Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What I really want instead of this "showy" is some ******* flac support. There is third party firmware available. See here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Freak Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Might be a mod from Linux... Plus, he could record the thing from iTunse, edit with Final cut Pro, then export it to an iPod video file. Then, she could play it as if it is real Edited February 28, 2007 by Apple Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Might be a mod from Linux... thats funny... ipodlinux nor rockbox or any other non-apple firmware for that matter, is capable of utilizing the ipods resources to do that. while it does have a 90 +/- mhz processor, its the more powerful, mainly video-decoding chip thats worth something and can actually handle those kinds of graphics.

xfsasx Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 how could they record coverflow for that aspect ratio and not have it looked compressed and have it go flawlessly into the ipod interface? I could understand the coverflow part being a movie but it goes into the ipod interface very smoothly, and if the ipod screen was part of the movie how did he record that? It just doesnt fit...I think its a possibility that it could be legit but im not gonna bet on it just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberracus Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 You need better equipment or clean your ears out You'd probably say a 4gig DVD looks the same as a 350mb avi, right? as usual wrong... ALAC Apple Lossless data is stored within an MP4 container with the filename extension .m4a. While Apple Lossless has the same file extension as AAC, it is not a variant of AAC, but uses linear prediction similar to other lossless codecs such as FLAC and Shorten.[1] iPods with a dock connector (not the Shuffle) and recent firmware can play Apple Lossless-encoded files. It does not utilize any digital rights management (DRM) scheme, but by the nature of the container, it is thought that DRM can be applied to ALAC much the same way it can with other files in QuickTime containers. link FLAC FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file. link So stop being so arrogant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Looks like an arguement is brewing, but on the coverflow, with the ipod playing video it can be so fake. Plus the reactin of the flow, like said before, wasn't on the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampidire Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) You need better equipment or clean your ears out You'd probably say a 4gig DVD looks the same as a 350mb avi, right? No, actually all my DVD rips are 1000kbp/s and at the DVD's native res using Mediaform/Handbrake. I can't watch crappily encoded torrent avi's anymore. I rip my own. Anyway, video is much easier to discern differences in than audio to me. I can tell the difference from MP3/AAC and ALAC/FLAC, but not often from MP3 and AAC or ALAC and FLAC. ALAC and FLAC to my ears, using my PA2V2 digitally outputted from my 4th gen click-wheel 20gb iPod to my Audio-Technica ATH-A900's, sound the same. And the PA2V2 isn't the best amp in the world, but for a college student or someone that even while listening to these at my friends house on his dads 250,000$ stereo system couldn't tell the difference, meh. It's not what I think about how my music sounds, it's how you think your music sounds, so I guess my opinion is based on my ears, not what a trained listener can hear. I can't tell the difference from ALAC and FLAC and I try really hard, but maybe you can. Everybody is different, deal with it, but for the purpose that the iPod was intended, and the way it's marketed (which is definitely NOT hardcare hi-fi listening), ALAC is way more than enough. On topic: But I thought that the iPhone had an nvidia based graphics chip to accomplish the cover-flow viewing? That's not something I'd expect to see from a 5th gen iPod anytime soon. So I call fake on this video. Edited February 28, 2007 by Ampidire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I call fake on this video. Duh, cuz ALAC and FLAC are lossless. MP3 and AAC are lossy. That's why you can tell between lossless and lossy codecs. If you listen correctly, you can tell the difference. But it's very hard to tell the difference between AAC and MP3 I find. And there is no way to tell the difference between ALAC and FLAC since they both produce the same exact sound. You can compress a wav with ALAC and FLAC and then uncompress each one, and do a bit for bit comparison and you will find they are each identical to the original wav file. The only reason now to use ALAC is because the ipod doesn't officially support FLAC. But then no other portable audio devices out there support ALAC where as some of them support FLAC. This would all be solved if Apple added FLAC support to the ipod. And that is smart to keep the encode at dvd resolution. That way you keep the picture the same size and just compress it more efficiently. If you want better encodes though, try HR or 720p versions. You'll like those.

luke255 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anyone who wants to try to fake this: Set up the screensaver hack for the video. Set a video of coverflow as it. Before the video starts, go to the album you wish to and at in cverflow. wait for the screensaver to activate Place thumb slightly above the clickwheel. Memorize the way it moves. Get a camera person while the video is playing, move your thumb as you memorized, all while being videotaped when it gets to the end where you click on the album and it goes to it, press the select button (the one in the middle) and it should go to the album you selected before. Congrats, youve got a faked coverflow on video. PUT IT ON YOUTUBE!!!! Exactly, and besides, could an iPod render 3D graphics that quickly...?

sandmanfvrga Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The iPod isn't a slouch when it comes to video. It renders its videos clear and I bet the iPhones graphics aren't that much higher, and even then the iPhones enhanced graphics are for other things, not the coverflow. It is simple 2d shapes being rotated, the Super Nintendo could do it and I don't see why the iPod can't. Now not saying this is real, but I don't see why it couldn't be in the future.
