If you’d won, I was thinking more along the lines of getting you a coffee mug from this establishment….https://www.facebook.com/pg/HalfwayH...=page_internal

Sorry, something went wrong.
We are working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can.

I had this day brightener in mind for you. Sadly, Santa got "detained" in Tijuana.

Works for me. Must be something gone awry on your end? Try this more direct route….https://www.facebook.com/HalfwayHouseCafe/

Maybe you need 5G?... http://www.etcentric.org/ces-2019-5g...ed-technology/

Hey, tunneling worked for dynamic metadata (across < HDMI 2.1, for that matter, even less than HDMI 2.0a). I’d try that for any physical barrier too, just ask El Chapo.

LordoftheRings, thanks if you’re responsible for the edit here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4mPokbZl10#t=1m24s for as previously discussed (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...w#post15922593) I again was afraid for what was coming next.

Nope, your two Facebook links don't work for me.
And I'm up-to-date with the latest Internet hardware and software.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram links ... you name it they always work for me on my end.
It must be something else...perhaps Chuck Norris? ...Billy Bob Thornton?

* Other Blu members can check those two Facebook links to see if I'm not alone.

I googled Facebook.com/halfwayhousecafe ... and all links are broken.
This one works though but I don't think it's the right one:
• https://m.facebook.com/halfwayhousec...=page_internal

And no I did not edit Vincent's YouTube video @ the spot you linked.
I like Vincent; there are not many people in the audio/video industry (business, dealers, advertisers, salesmen, ...) who are upfront, honest, unbiased and with his integrity's level. That'll be the day.

With rare people like Vincent we learn and advance, with the rest who get paid for advertising and selling products from their dealerships and advertising manufacturers we get harassed by their bias and salel pitches and deceived. There are few rare exceptions of course, but we don't get the full scope.
With Vincent we do. With Robert too.

Anyway I'm sure you know all about it. It's nice to be free in a free country where free speech is our right. The more aware we are, the better informed with the truth, the better off we all are. Deforming and wrongly interpreting and quickly judging without knowing and seeing the full picture is a quality of many.

* Get me that Maverick mug (post a direct picture of it). ...A well lit one, HDR enlightened, fully detailed.

From what I’ve seen of the Vincent’s videos that ya’ll guys have previously posted on this forum, he makes an occasional error now and then, (they all do) but yes, I agree he’s likely one of the superior online consumer video-related celebrities in that particular ecosystem.

Personally though, I’d be most impressed if he (coming from Manchester? if I recall) could correctly predict who will win the Prem this year as I’m soon putting money on that and our local Blu-ray.com thread on the Prem has stalled out for which I’d otherwise turn to for advice.

Say wha?
Dude, you never did post the correct answer. The rules of the contest were clearly stated.

I've been known to throw down a wager or two. What are we betting on? Now don't you go and say soccer. Can't do that. The clock counts UP! It's unholy.

The mug's picture, just the photo. I know that I didn't guess the martial arts expert guy on the microphone.

* Your two Facebook links work on another device, just not the one I was using @ the time.
That's ok I'm about to switch brand...from Microsoft to Apple. Apple is becoming more affordable now, with their constant share losing streak.

** We all do make small mistakes occasionally, nothing tragic like that documentary 'Making a Murderer' on Netflix, or 'The Innocent Man' from the same channel.
Of course Vincent is not perfect, but better than most of the rest.
I also like rtings.com, but neither they are perfect, better than most with complete analysis and comparisons. Good place to shop for HDR TVs.

AV1 & Dolby Vision
https://twitter.com/DanielBa78/statu...20410687143936

Unlike HEVC, AV1 is a royalty-free codec.
AV1 is supported by a strong group of companies including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook or Intel.

AV1 will co-exist with HEVC.
TVs will also support AV1 from 2020, when AV1-compliant SoC will be available.

HDR AV1 video >> Internet >> future TV with AV1 decoding



Current HDR TVs will be able to play HDR AV1 videos via future cheap streaming players such as Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K or Chromecast Ultra.

HDR AV1 video >> Internet >> future streaming player with AV1 decoding > decoded HDR video signal >> HDMI >> current HDR TV


Unlike its royalty-free predecessor VP9, AV1 can convey HDR dynamic metadata.
https://www.avsforum.com/forum/465-h...l#post56949056

Along with HEVC, Dolby Vision can use AV1 (Dolby Vision Profile 10).
The new Dolby Vision Profile 10 can support HFR up to 120 fps.
It can also support 8K UHD: 8K@120 (Dolby Vision Level 13), 4K@120 (Dolby Vision Level 10).

LOL. Yes that purposeful edit is Vincent's humour. He sometimes adds "ding" sound effects to mark his deliberate innuendos which is another "meta-layer" of humour I like.

Here's another "edit" point, see if you can spot it:

Update to - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...a#post15832280
Suggested changes didn’t pass final committee draft ballot. Perhaps less is more.

Ah, a man of spiritual consciousness, not to worry, I’m betting on Premier turtle racing, as to who below is slower in moving (Mecha, if you don’t understand this one, PM PaulGo) –

Perspective: a small mistake during a procedure involving a median sternotomy - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...c#post15931985 , could lead to tragic consequences.

Like I already said, from what I've seen, Vincent’s likely one of the more superior home video online technician celebrities these days. Hope his career continues to thrive. As a bonus, Vincent does seem quite funnier than that Archer guy (who also makes mistakes – ask Geoff).
