Am I the only one who's really puzzled by all this effort and excitement, of being able to play a low-res clip encoded in a long obsolete format?
When was the last time any of you saw MPEG1 encoded video, anywhere?
For me, it was the very early 2000s.
Its one of the ways of evaluating progress in the core development. As the core gets more features, speed and software is tweaked to utilize the core spesifically, its nice for users to see those developments thru other means than benchmarks like Sysinfo.
Nothing really puzzling with that.
