Backward compatibility is not the same as forward compatibility. In other words, HuffYUV 1.3.1 files may open in HuffYUV 2.1.1, but that means nothing going the other way.

No, there can also be visual differences. For example, HuffYUV's author might decide to improve the output of the RGB -> YUV converter.

A version jump can mean anything -- read the software changelogs if you want to know what was changed.

Eh...I think I'll just stick with my video out for now. No need to possibly destroy a $250 XBox :P

Interesting, though.

...guess my theory that "obscure does not automatically mean deep, important, or original" really didn't go over well. ;) Ah well, it's to be expected. People are always happy if they know entertainment that "few" people know. Makes them feel special and important. ;) Meh. I brought those pieces up...

How does it take you 2 hours to do 6 seconds? I couldnt stand with myself if I got that little acomplished I got 6 seconds done in a full working day last week with my latest video. Some things just take that long to do. Indeed -- some things just don't look right the first time around, so you atta...

I don't think instrumental music is any harder than vocal music...in both cases, you must devise a coherent storyline that fits with the musical nuances, and set up your motion, mood, and coloration accordingly. (For the third piece, it helps if you can experience synesthesia :P ) I don't think that...

I'd recommend Windows 2000 -- Windows XP can be really, really annoying. Just yesterday I managed to fire off 120 "serious error" reports to Microsoft and BSOD the bastard five times (in the space of ten minutes! This by opening a #*(%*( web browser!) Anyway, yeah, that's XP -- more cruft, no more f...

It can sometimes take me two hours to produce six seconds of video. The primary reason for that is that I like to backtrack, listen to the music I'm listening to (over and over again), listen to other music for other inspiration, look at rendered sections of my video thus far -- just to see how they...

Let me expound on some of that: In my experience, the "advanced" stuff, while it is important to know, really doesn't come into play unless you notice that there is something obviously very, very wrong with the sources that you're editing. If the red and blue components of the video you're editing a...

If you take the time to seriously sit down and read the material -- perhaps pull out a few references here and there -- learning basic DV definitions and techniques really isn't much different from any other activity. The advanced stuff is just that -- advanced -- but once you get past the basic def...
