OQO model e2 is a new comer in the UMPC market. Its powered by a VIA 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 memory and comes with Wi-Fi. The 5 inch Screen is capable of a resolution of 800×480, and if this doesn’t suffice, you are free to connect to a display using the VGA, DVI, or HDMI outputs for a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200. Did I mentioned that it runs Windows Vista?
There is an option of a 120 GB hard drive, or a 32 GB solid state drive. A QWERTY keyboard (with a number pad) are designed into it, all in the size of a small notebook. At 450g, it’s heavy only to the weakest of geeks. Price is another matter, and the rumored figure is between £846 and £1,359 - making it heavy on your pocket. Pun not intended.

FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DivX, XviD, H.264, FLV1, WMV, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 movies. It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project for video decompression, postprocessing code from mplayer to enhance visual quality of low bitrate movies, and is based on original DirectShow filter from XviD, which is GPL’ed educational implementation of MPEG4 encoder.
Features:
- various compression methods:
· MPEG 4 compatible (Xvid, DivX 4, DivX 5) using libavcodec or XviD
· Divx 3 compatible, MSMPEG4v2, MSMPEG4v1
· WMV1/7, WMV2/8
· H263, H263+, H264
· HuffYUV in YV12 colorspace
· MJPEG
· MPEG 1
· Theora (not for regular use, format isn’t stabilized yet)
· MPEG 2 by using mpeg2enc code from MJPEGtools project
· all Windows Media Video 9 supported encoders with output to asf/
wmv file or AVI
- all common encoding modes: constant bitrate, fixed quantizer, fixed quality, two pass encoding (depends on compressor features)
- for libavcodec and XviD detailed selection of motion estimation method
- minimum and maximum I frames interval
- minimum and maximum quantizer selection, quantizer type and trellis quantization selection for libavcodec
- adaptive quantization (aka. masking) for libavcodec and XviD, single coefficient elimination
- selectable compression of starting and ending credits
- two curve compression algorithms for second pass of two pass encoding - thanks to XviD developers
- second pass simulation: although not very precise, still helpful for tweaking advanced curve compression parameters
- ability to use libavcodec internal two pass code
- image preprocessing with ffdshow image filters (latest ffdshow version must be installed)
- graph during encoding: if your encoding program doesn’t provide one
- B frames support: from one to eight consecutive B frames
- support for MPEG 4 quarterpel and GMC
- selectable interlaced encoding
- decompression

The first thing noticed about the forum is not so slow loading. Forum staff is quite happy with it, well, it can still be improved a little. Let’s say with changing banners about $6,100 contest into text links.
DNLOdge is hosted on its own server. They even offer hosting. There are still chances to win 1 year hosting with 5 GB space and 150 GB bandwith, control panel, PHP and all other you need for seriuos hosting. Server is fast.
Oh, the next specialty is design. It is recognisable, has some personal touch, don’t you think?
Forum includes chatting room.
On-site SEO Guide has its basic backbone done, yet it is open to contribution from members. SEO reviews are available for free on a forum. Links to very picky choosen SEO tools can be find. Free general website reviews are another goodie.
Newbies can get prompt answers without need to be ashamed of asking even the most basic web site building or online earning questions.
