3D Extreme Mountain Biking Side By Side - UPDATE

After posting my 3D Extreme Mountain Biking Side By Side  2d to 3D conversion video at 1080p last night, I was really dissappointed to notice that it was incredibly pixelated when I watched it using my headset from YouTube,  as it had looked great on my Mac in SBS 3D.  It was much worse in comparison to my other 3D VR videos in my 3D Videos playlist.

Why Is This?  Answer: Video Compression.

All Video and Audio compression systems use Complex Algorithms to reduce the file size dramatically so they can be watched or listened to on the internet or by other streaming methods.

A lot of these compression algorithms work by sorting out what has changed in a video frame by frame and what hasn't changed, they then throw away the pixels that haven't changed.  Now if there are a lot of unchanging pixels i.e. in a black picture, blue sky, or green grass then a lot gets thrown away.

This process can be seen on a modern TV when the action is set in the dark, the screen is moving about in shades of Grey rather than being black.

So what about this movie, well its a copy of a compressed 2D movie that has been converted using algorithms to 3D, this degrades the movie slightly.  But the big problem for this movie is the fact that the fast moving landscape is all shades of light brown which I think has completely confused the compression algorithms which have thrown away a lot of the video material that is intrinsic to the movie. So rather than clear action, it ends up blotchy and pixelated, as you can see at HD 1080p Youtube resolution.

After much testing, I discovered 'bizarrely' that if you use the resolution playback setting to set the resolution to 480 dpi

rather than Auto or HD1080p

the 480p result is a much smoother, softer and less pixelated video, which is counter intuitive.

Please feel free to try for yourself and get back to me with your results.

Sony Playstation VR - Enormous Price Hikes

You may have seen my recent rant over Sony Playstation VR purchasing by sharks to manipulate the buyers market. You can read the piece using the link below:

Sony Playstation VR - Loathsome Bulk Buying Price Hikers

Profiteering Sony Playstation VR Headset Over Pricing

I thought we'd reached the peak of this greed, but as the major distributors are stating they will have no stock until after Christmas ads like this on Amazon continue to appear with apparently larger and larger price hikes.

It seems odd to me that market manipulation at the shareholder level is illegal, but buying up product to sell on at extortionately high prices due to the lack of availability seems to be okay, and supported by the big players.

I just stumbled on this on Amazon UK

Time to vote with our feet people, and not to buy.

Ho Hum Humbug Christmas Exploitation Is Increasing

I just heard a piece on BBC Radio 4 UK interviewing Santas and the kids were asking about which 3D VR should they get, gulp, at these prices I'd say the cheap phone holding headsets.  If Sony wanted to grow the market this Christmas, then they should have done what Apple do and set a maximum price you can charge as a reseller, and how it as close to the RRP as possible.

Shame on you people.

Sony Playstation VR - Loathsome Bulk Buying Price Hikers

Profiteering Sony Playstation VR Headset Over Pricing

With Christmas coming up and expectations being set high for the must have gadget for Christmas 2016, you would hope that the Christmas spirit would prevail.

There was a great scene in the original Black & White movie Miracle on 34th Street

which one of my most favourite movies ever.  It brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes, as the Chris Kringle the Santa telling kids parents in Macy's store where they can buy certain toys Macy's don't stock or who has them cheaper.

It's a lovely thought, and in the film is portrayed as a marketing success, as it is today for John Lewis, 'never knowingly undersold'

So it really angers me when I discovered that some loathsome creatures have bought up stock of the expensive Sony Playstation VR Headset

which itself isn't cheap or completely ready to use, as I outlined in my BLOG Article 

Read This Before Buying A Sony Playstation VR

But SHARKS appear to be using their purchase allocation to screw buyers for an extra £150+ for the same item, if they want it before Christmas.  Why would people pay an extra £150+ ? well it because of its rarity (due to SHARKS buying up of available stock to fleece buyers with their higher pricing). 

I found this on Amazon UK

Amazon states that they have sold their QUOTA at £349 and won't have any more until January 2017, then there is a huge list of Shark Sellers, many more than I show in the picture above.

No you may think differently, but to me this is no different to Ticket Touting, and in my view should be outlawed as blatant Market Manipulation and Profiteering.  Sony should not give allocation to these companies, and especially not at Christmas time.

If you agree that this practise I will call 'PRODUCT TOUTING' should be banned then please like, thumbs up and share this article.  In fact I think I will email BBC Radio 4 consumer programme so they can look into it and see how widespread this is.  

Let's face it in a time of recession, when products are being splashed in front of the eyes of people with little free cash, the situation shouldn't be made worse by this loathsome profiteering SHARKS.
