xbox 360 problems
Posted in: The PadThis has nothing to do with visual effects or compositing, but if there is any group on the internet who knows video games, it would be the vfx guys.
My xbox 360 has develop a problem where no video goes through into my tv. Audio is fine, it spins up, there is no red ring of death, but there is no video. I borrowed a friends cable, and tried it out, nothing. I tried a different input, nothing. The cable is fine. The xbox is messed up.
I’m WAY out of warranty, and actually bought the system with cash from a friend, so I’m stuck trying to fix it myself. I can build PCs, but I’ve never taken an xbox apart and would like some help with this.
I tried looking online and found that the no video issue requires the same fix and the RROD issue. But everywhere I look I find links to repair guides you need to buy, or poorly done youtube clips, or step by step guides that are more text than pictures or videos.
Help!! A VFX guy without his video games is like… Michael Bay, without his ritalin.

Snow Leopard is here!
Posted in: The PadOk, so i installed snow leopard and so far the thing that really stands out is the new gamma. Blacks are actually black now and whites are really bright. Looks more like windows gamma. So far safari is very very fast.
Pulled up a very processor intensive Nuke script and it seems to handle cpu usage a LOT better, of course being 32-bit it can still only use 2 of my 10 gb ram, BUT, when rendering it is using 7.65 (765%) of my 8 cpus and then drops to 1% when idle…so that is very nice, now if we can only get the rest of the ram in there it will run beautifully.
per app expose is a pretty nifty feature, tho i use tabs for safari it could be nice for when you have 100 finders open. Overall response seems slightly snappier all around. Looking in the activity monitor I noticed almost all essential processes are running in 64-bit mode.
Final Cut still took about the same amount of time to start up…but this new gamma makes the images look different…so i’ll have to get used to that! Quicktime started up very quickly and I like the new look. Very clean.
Well I have a ton of work going on right now that I’ll be using my tower for so I will post if I notice any differences while working (which is really all that matters)
