50 tools to tell a story using Web 2.0 Wiki

This looks like a Neat resource here, time will tell if this proves to be a Super resource.

Still, it qualifies as Stuff and is a contender for being additionally Super and Neat, which is the purpose of a Super Neat Stuff blog :)

What is a video container?

Please correct me, but I'm looking at the concept of a file container, like .avi or .mkv for example as a more generic use of a file extension. In other words, the .avi extension is not enough information to open the contents of the file since .avi files can differ by codec used to encode the contents of the video.

Here's some more information regarding file container differences, coming from wikipedia:

The differences between various container formats arise from five main issues:
1. Popularity; how widely supported a container is.
2. Overhead. This is the difference in file-size between two files with the same content in a different container.
3. Support for advanced codec functionality. Older formats such as AVI do not support new codec features like B-frames, VBR audio, VFR natively, although the format may be "hacked" to add support, creating compatibility problems.
4. Support for advanced content, such as chapters, subtitles, meta-tags, user-data.
5. Support of streaming media

Photo Host

We use ShutterFly at home for our image hosting.
By we, I mean my wife Marie. She does all the uploading, making of calendars, t-shirts, print ordering etc.
I can take credit for walking to Target to pick up her prints.
I need to ask Marie for our login info to access the account.


*Note, Marie falls into the categories of both Super and Neat :)
