Lost S6E3 Thoughts

Just one quick one I haven’t seen covered elsewhere.

If Sayid has “the sickness”, who else have we seen in a similar situation? Seemingly dead, but CPR’d by Jack back to life?

Charlie.

And it was after that is when we saw the really Dark Charlie, relapsing, killing Ethan, having strange dreams, attempting to “baptize” Aaron, etc. Charlie was infected, but he was cured at some point and overcame the “darkness”. Was it from being close to the Swan hatch implosion, or maybe building the church with Eko? Either way, there’s hope for Sayid yet.

G5 Lame Updates

Lame 3.97b1 has apparently been deemed “usable” by the crew at Hydrogen Audio. Well, let’s run through the same tests we did last time.

G5 Optimized (3.96.1)
preset standard – 0:16 (204.7 kbps)
preset fast standard – 0:11 (226.0 kbps)
preset extreme – 0:15 (249.3 kbps)
preset fast extreme – 0:11
preset cbr 128 – 0:12
preset cbr 192 – 0:12
preset 128 – 0:13 (125.5 kbps)
preset 192 – 0:11 (191.8 kbps)

G5 Optimized (3.97b1)
preset standard – 0:15 (219.0 kbps)
preset fast standard – 0:13 (219.4 kbps)
preset extreme – 0:15 (263.3 kbps)
preset fast extreme – 0:13 (259.0 kbps)
preset cbr 128 – 0:13
preset cbr 192 – 0:12
preset 128 – 0:13 (121.5 kbps)
preset 192 – 0:12 (182.7 kbps)

Plus a second here, minus a second there. Not really much change in encoding times, there is a strange, non-consistant fluctuation in the kbps column though. Maybe this is a tuning issue for the better? Not really my department :)

I Have Internet! And it’s fast too. Yay!
