Universal's Blu-ray release plans uncovered, details later today

"(sounds like someone's bitter about HD DVD and taking it out on Blu-ray owners to us)"

I'm not a big fan of the Mummy series either, but I do rather suspect it has more to do with the new Mummy film coming out on August 1st than anything else. The anti-Blu execs have been given the shove at Universal.

Only that you might well have a file in xvid format, and this saves you re-encoding it to .mp4.

It's a bit fiddly, but you don't need to re-encode .mkv files from scratch; just repackage the video in a .mp4 and if necessary convert the audio to stereo AAC. They'll play then.

Toshiba announces HD-A20 midlevel HD DVD player

1080p is nice, but not that important if you've got a decent deinterlacer in the display device. What I'm really after from a HD-DVD player is the XA2's 6 channel analogue output; does this have it?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
