Brian Beckman: The Zen of Stateless State - The State Monad - Part 2

822MB for the iPod format? You're kidding right? And I was like downloading the iPod RSS feed via the iTunes Podcast feature (as I do ost of the time) to watch it tomorrow before school on my nano... hm nah... not this time
I have like 700MB free on it, that's normally enough for like 3 hours of video... what bitrate are you guys using to encode your videos to MP4? 384kbps video and 96kbps for audio is plenty enough and needs about 1-2MB per minute, oh and as a sidenote, how about
normalizing the audio stream to use all the virtually available 16 bits per sample? Audio is really silent on an iPod. With full volume I don't understand anything when there's people talking around me and I'm listening to those people in the video.
Hm... maybe I better should have put that in the Feedback forum... but, yeah, too late :\
I am not angry you guys. Seriously.
I try to stay up to date with Wix but it's far from ready yet. I can't create dialogs in a designer, intellisense gives html garbage on top of the Wix tags, the latest version 3.0 is still in beta and in the end I have to type too much to get a basic result.
You can find the wix project on Sourceforge. I couldn't find anything about Wix on Codeplex.
I created a demo which uses Wix. You can find it on:

Another great interview Charles. I know we all have our personal wish lists for the product many of which will conflict, but it's good to know that Rico will be there in the future searching for the path forward. Speaking personally I can't think of a cooler job than to be in the software tooling industry. You folks get to enable human creativity, that's simultaneously a heck of a responsibility and way cool.
It surprises me you haven't started to shoot videos in HD or in wide screen at least.
I just watched this interview again since VS2010 beta was released, and it really makes me wonder why the dev team for VS said no to the ribbon. I can think of two major areas this would help, designers and refactoring. Hunting for menu commands isn't fun and by the time you've found it (usually with Google's help) you've been distracted enough that your train of thought is lost. Wasn't that one of the goals of the Office Ribbon, was to make features that would normally be hidden and put them front and center when a user action demanded their attention.
The one feature I was looking forward but wasn't able to find yet is workspace scaling. The same thing that Blend has.
This guy is brilliant. Thanks for making us discover him and I am glad that part of VS future is in his hands.
i seem to be having a problem with all the videos i downloaded here yesterday! I downloaded wmvs and they play only audio with KMPlayer, they don't play at all with meda player and VLC plays the audio fine but the video all garbled!! I'm not downloading
