Ikonshop A-Cam3D for HD 3D Home Flicks

by Jay Garrett on February 5, 2010

If you want to get onto the 3D film bandwagon but would rather be behind the camera than stuck in a pub watching footie then check this out.

Ikonshop have developed a new camera that is is capable of shooting 3D video in Full HD at 1080p.

The Ikonshop A-Cam3D captures two separate video streams at once, in a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels in RAW files.

Colour depth is set at 12 bits at frame rates of between 25fps and 30fps.

The Ikonshop A-Cam3D weighs in at 2.8KG, this include the battery and the memory card for recording the videos.

Unfortunately there are no details on pricing but these are built to order – I’m guessing that means it’s painfully expensive ;)

uTorrent Now Streams as You Download

by Jay Garrett on December 21, 2009

uTorrent is quite a natty BitTorrent client (apparently) and is very popular amongst those who share films and music – legally obviously ;)

It works like most other BT clients but now you can stream video before it’s finished downloading – how good is that!!!??

This new function can be found on the most recent uTorrent beta. This will allow you, the viewer, to start watching almost instantly, with the download being weighted to the front so that you get the bits you need in 5 minutes before the bits you need in 45 minutes.

“Our hope is to transform getting media using uTorrent from a ‘load-wait-watch-tomorrow’ to more of a ‘point-click-watch’ experience”. It’ll certainly help the client compete with dodgy TV streaming sites.

You can pick which movie player on your computer that you’d like to use in the preferences – it defaults to the DivX web player.

Just click the “play” button next to the download, and when enough has been grabbed it’ll go green, ready to start.

Go get it here

Also it will stop Rom from being so smug with [...]
