Submission + - 'Asian Brown Cloud' Threatens U.S. (sciencemag.org) 1

sciencehabit writes: China and India are some of the world's top polluters, with countless cars, factories, and households belching more than 2 million metric tons of carbon soot and other dark pollutants into the air every year.

Comment RMVB maybe not very good (Score 1) 386

Maybe its just a bad encode, but i got an hour long asian tv show that is done in RMVB, and its 180MB's, and its horrid! Its choppy and blurry and yucky looking. Seriously an xvid at half the size would look/play much smoother and better. If this is a valid example of Real codeds, they just need to go out of business. I am just glad xvid exists. Thats my codec of choice.
