Matroska ja Windows ME
Matroska Pack Fullin asennus Windows ME:hen ei onnistu, vaan se ilmoittaa, että on käytettävä Lite-pakettia. Sen asennus kuitenkin kaatui runtime erroriin. Seuraavat ohjeet käsin tehtävään asennukseen löytyivät CoreCodec.org:sta.
- Asennetaan FFDShow 20041012 (SSE- tai SSE2-versio, mikäli suoritin näitä tukee, muussa tapauksessa tavallinen versio).
- Asennetaan Haali Media Splitter.
- Ladataan VSFilter ja kopioidaan avatusta paketista VSFilter.dll:n ei-unicode-versio C:\Windows\System32-kansioon.
- Suoritetaan komentokehotteessa: C:\Windows\System\regsvr32 vsfilter.dll
- Asennetaan CoreVorbis.
- Asennetaan Media Player Classic:sta ME-versio (siis versio, jonka nimessä on 98me, eikä 2kxp).
- That’s it.

Convert Realmedia files using VirtualDubMod and Avisynth
“There is a second more complicated way to convert your RMVB files. VirtualDubMod, which supports AVISynth scripts and MPEG-2 video importing, is an alternative method for converting RMVB files to a format suitable for DVD.”
According to Wilbert on the VideoHelp.com forum, you need the latest AviSynth v2.56 for the convertfps to work. That did the trick for me, as I was first having trouble with VirtualDubMod giving me DirectShowSource does not have a named argument “convertfps” errors when trying to load the Realmedia file.

Vatican Radio employees present pope with specially loaded iPod nano
“A group of Vatican Radio employees gave Pope Benedict XVI a brand new iPod nano loaded with special Vatican Radio programming and classical music. To honor the pope’s first visit to the radio’s broadcasting headquarters, the radio’s technical staff decided the pencil-thin, state-of-the-art audio player would make the perfect gift.
Now that Vatican Radio offers podcasts in eight different languages, the pope has the technological capability to plug in and import the radio’s audio files.”
