Windows XP SP3 RC1

Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system.

This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers experience with the operating system.

Microsoft made a build of XP SP3 available to subscribers to its Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers on December 3. At that time, company officials declined to say when the company planned to make a public test build of XP SP3 available.

Microsoft officials have said the final XP SP3 bits should be available some time in the first half of 2008. Who knows: If the Windows team follows in the Office 2007 team’s “underpromise/overdeliver” footsteps, maybe we’ll see the final XP SP3 release a few months early….)

XP SP3 is primarily a collection of fixes and updates that Microsoft has released over the past few years since it rolled out XP SP2 in 2004. XP SP3 also does include a few brand-new features, like black-hole router detection; support for Network Access Protection (NAP) security-quarantining; enhanced security for administrator and service policy entries; inclusion of the Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module; and Windows Product Activation modifications.

The ID3v2 specification provides us frames for the following tags that can be used to organize classical music:   Artist AlbumArtist Conductor OriginalArtist Composer Album Name   My goal is to devise a plan to fit all of these tags into Classical music appropriately, so that the Classic music composers will appear in Last.fm statistics music will be organized and displayed well in iTunes   The primary focus is given to how the music is organized. This means tagging conventions for track names is not one of the primary concerns in this article. First we familiarise ourselves with the ID3v2 frames for the tags above.   TPE1 The 'Lead artist/Lead performer/S

DVD2WMV Encoder 1.0 ALPHA Started

Now it's under active development. The main challenge is WMEncoder refusing AviSynth script files. While writing the CCE to WMV guide this idea was to born to create a tool to calculate the total time of a movie. This will be added to DVD2WMV Encoder -- not as a standalone executable but integrated, so that the values can be used by the WM9 Bitrate Calulator part to determine the target Video Bitrate. 0:41:38 + 0:39:15 + 0:39:11 = 0:119:64 = 1:59:64 = 1:60:04 = 2:00:04
