5 Tips for Better VoIP Calls:
- Hardware reccos, Process Priority tweaks and the secret to hosting voice conferences that don't suck.
- Is it your VoIP client or the network? Check out TestYourVoip for free help sorting that out.
Vista Update:
- Build 5472: finally... performance tuning has begun
- Robert's got the word gaming on Vista, the speed of the install and more.
- Driver support: Creative... it's time to pony up a decent XFi driver!
- We need to find out when the public beta folks get these updates!
Viewer Spiel:
- The first HD movie on a disk didn't come on Blu-ray or HD-DVD. Jason asks "how T2 Judgment Day Extreme Edition compares to Blue-ray and HD-DVD?"
- Jeffrey Klassen says "Thought you guys might like these. I was working on some water drop photos, and decided to make you something special!" Thanks for offering up the high res images to everybody, Jeffrey, and tell us how you shot these!
- "What exactly will ReadyBoost do to improve Vista performance?!?!" Info for Bob from Cincinnati. on ReadyBoost, Vista, USB drives, data caching and why his 1GB Attaché ain't cutting it.
- We really need to do some thumd/USB drive speed tests!
- Thanks to our audience tippers for the heads up on GParted LiveCD back in EP 75 . Maria from Puerto Rico, says "it was the best. I resized my windows partition, installed Linux and to my amazement, the windows installation was untouched."
- The new background sucks? Josh says "it should be retired." We hated the blue wall. What do you think of the new one? Email us at dl.tv@ziffdavis.com. We forgot to mention on air that Josh is going into the hospital for surgery soon. Throw some mojo his way (in the best Wil Wheaton sense!)

One last thought:
- We know, we know: It's Seagate, not Segate... the offending speller from last week's show has been beaten, and we apologize for the error.

Episode 81 went Live at 4PM PDT, July 27th.
The full show notes minus the video processor questions:
Great MP3 Encoder:
- JD's on the hunt for a better MP3 encoder than WMP or iTunes, hears that the LAME MP3 encoder is great, but doesn't want to roll with its command line utility.
- No worries: there are tons of easy to use GUIs that sit on top of LAME so you don't have to go near a command line:
- Exact Audio Copy is an awesome tool for making high quality audio.
- Razerlame is Robert's fave front end for LAME.
- dBpowerAMP is pretty slick, and offers tons of codec support (tho' you have to pay for MP3 support these days.
Stuff:
- Reviewing Sony's Sony HDR-HC3. PCMag's Terry Sullivan gave it an Editors' Choice. Great video... but be forewarned: there's no mic jack, and the manual controls are a bit... odd.
- A good 'real vs. CG" test? George says he's got one for Robert, Autodesks's Fake or Foto? It's pretty disturbing. Anybody seen a test like this for Photoshop hacked photos? Let us know!
- The Return Of Sam and Max!!! Darren Gladstone stopped by from CGW to give us the scoop on our favorite freelance police duo. This time... this publisher... it's really gonna ship.
Interview:
Viewer Questions:
- Bluetooth headsets and VoIP clients like Skype: we've got info for Chad.
- You had a ton of questions about the Whitehourse video processor/scalar Robert uses in the lab! We'll have those questions and links (from HTPCs to dScaler to cheap alternates to the Whitehorse) up shortly.
News:
Comments being censored?
- Wha? We started moderating comments (which means they don't post to the site until we approve them) yesterday on this page after a spate of folks posted pretending to be Patrick ran amuck in the feedback. We always pull spam, info that's false, or particuarly nasty personal attacks on our guests/staffers. Beyond that, it's pretty much open season out there. BTW, if you email us at dl.tv@ziffdavis.com we'll do our best to explain why we do what we do. Comments are back to being unmoderated again.

Episode 82 went Live at 4PM PDT, August 1st.
We pinballed thru a selection o' topics on the show:
Stuff:
- Ageia's PhysX physics accelerator for gaming. Worth the $300, or spend you gaming dollar elsewhere?
- Belkin's Wireless G Travel Router: a palm full o' 802.11g routery goodness (The Linksys WTR54GS Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster is pretty sweet, too.
- Yes, Adam, the US gets a lot of the cool cell phones well after they've hit the streets in the UK or Japan... and 550 (US $1040) sounds steep to us for a PS3 pre-order.
- And for everybody that's emailing... yup, November 17th is the US release date for the PS3. We forgot.
802.11n:
- "Should I buy a wireless router now or wait for the real 802.11n?" asks Hal from Sioux Falls, SD.
- The answer depends on whether it's for a business that needs industry standards, or if it's for use just in your home... and, yes, there is a performance difference between Pre-n and Draft-n& and both smoke 802.11g.
Questions for the DL.TV Crew:
- No HyperTerminal in Vista? Mark's looking for a "good open source terminal emulator" to replace it when connecting to the console ports on routers and switches.
- Know a good open source/ad-free utility for printing PDF files? email Robert!
News:
- E3 Downsizing: The biggest party in gaming is going small.
- Dell Investigates Second Laptop Fire
- Hi-Def Add-On Coming for iPod: why?
- Animaniacs Vol 1 on DV.... woot!
Iceland:
- Baldwin from Iceland was miffed, but we're cool now He thought we were mocking Iceland's broadband penetration in episode 81.
- No way. We love Iceland! We were mocking US broadband penetration!(Tho wiring a country of 300,000 is easier than wiring a country of 300,000,000!)

Techno-Oddness:
- Availabots, Nabaztag the WiFi Technobunny... er, "lapin communicant,", and the future of odd gadgets that 'speak' to you without your monitor or speakers.
Free Tools From The DL.TV Crew:
- Wow, you guys had some pretty solid ideas about how to print to PDFs for free!
- Never printed to a PDF? It's like printing to a document on your desktop, instead of a physical printer.
- Most of you recommended: CutePDF Some folks prefer PDFCreator. PrimoPDF was also popular.
- Other ideas? Use something with it build in, such OS X, OpenOffice, or Office 12! (Well, when it ships.)
Viewer Questions:
- Intentsly wants to know when the new Merom notebooks will arrive&We've got a rough date, and NoteBookreview has a good preliminary list.

Howdy Folks, It's been a real interesting day. We're re-rendering most of the video for EP 77 due to a major audio glitch. A vile high pitched hiss was sitting on top of most of the compressed video, so re-captured it and started over again.
In the mean time, I'm rebuilding the EP 77 site entry. For reasons I'm sure I'll never know, Telligent's Community Server decided to publish the admin tools for the site in this space earlier when I posted an update as to when the video would be available for download. That's a new one... I'm kinda hoping the error was between my keyboard and chair, tho, frankly, I'm not sure how I could publish the admin tools.
In any case, Sorenson Squeeze is humming along on your video, and we should have all the formats posted for download by 5:30.... er, make that 6:15PM PDT/9:15PM EDT/01:15 GMT/UTC.
Our apologies on the delay... hope you enjoy the show! Patrick | $4.95

- "Getting sick of the bloatware that is Adobe Reader on Windows. Any ideas on an (hopefully) free alternative?" We got 'cha covered, Mike. You want Foxit reader!!! It's a simple, small, and reads Adobe PDF files no problem. It's free for personal use
- There's no install for Foxit Reader. We walk you thru how to place it (or any other .EXE file) into your Programs Folder on the show.
- Spherical Desktop? Duncan and Chris want Robert to check out SphereSite's Spherical Desktop in his search for a ... spherical desktop.
- Jamie asks "Will the folks that came up with AGP come up with an alternative to PCI Express?" They already did. Kind of.
- Brandon says he wished he had our PayPal advice a little earlier: he was ripped off for $1000!
- "Can windows read the Mac HFS+ system or OS X read and write NTFS?" Billy from Gurnee, IL just bought a Macbook and wants to share an external hard drive. He needs MacDrive 6 and an HFS+ formatted drive. We showed how it works in Episode 45.
Better Free Partitioning:
- The best free partitioning tool? Non-destructive? Create, resize or destroy FAT, NTFS, HFS and HFS+?
- Bradley, Brett, Ian Stewart, Wesley, Johan, Nicolas and two Jasons all swear by the "GParted LiveCD!"
- Brad, Nicholas and Johan (from Helsingborg, Sweden!) added in deets and suggestions for safer use.
- All in response to the software we showed in 74. Thanks for the tip! GParted is awesome.
How To Burn an ISO disk:
- BTW, the bootable GParted disk comes in ISO format. Don't just burn the ISO to a data CD. It won't work.
- If you don't have CD burning software (or can't figure out how to open the ISO file in what 'cha got) try downloading ISOBurn 1.6. It's fast and easy.

- Brian says "My dad is asking me for advice on a good 50" plasma for a new home we are building. I'd like 1008P support. What's best deal out there in the $2k to $4k range?
- Bill asks "When I plug my new HDTV into the computer, I only get 800x600 or 1024x768. Are there drivers I can download to get a 16:9 resolution? I hate the stretched video I'm getting now!"

- Michael was "wondering why Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose on Diggnation talk openly about software piracy and hacking, and while you guys seem almost scared to talk about it. Both of you have sponsors, what/s the deal?" Truth is, neither DL.TV or Diggnation is gonna tell you how to crack copy protected material!
