Does anyone has RM3199 to donate me? I’ll reveal why I need it towards the end of this entry

Lately, I really like downloading video clips from the internet, due to the fact that I have media center in my living room.

Just like to share with everybody, while searching for the music videos to download, I came across the follow cool blog.

And the cool thing is, all the video rips are in a high quality, using MPEG2 codec, the codec that DVD is using. Just imagine watching a crystal clear music video on your TV or computer.

I really hope Malaysia’s music video scene serves music videos of this quality. Often, music videos that I found on local torrent are in WMV format with a very low bitrate – quality not good at all. I like to see something like this.

Astro really broadcast quite a high quality transmission. So if the stream can be captured using MPEG2, it is really good.

Actualy, I have this Pinnacle PCTV Stereo tv capture card. But I haven’t used it for so long. It’s kinda hard to get it connected to Astro, with TV in the living room and my computer in bedroom. Furthermore, I have to pay extra to enable MPEG2 codec for this.

I somehow need a specilize device for the task. So below is actually something in my wish list now. DVD recorder.

Sigh!! What a saliva slurrping thing to get, but really expensive. Guess I should go for a unbranded DVD recorder. Saw one in Carrefour last month selling at around RM550ish.
