The SD x264 TV Releasing Standards 2012
This is both my current nightmare and future dream.
Current nightmare: My crap desktop cannot play these x264 files. They’ve already started showing up this week and I’ve tried.
Future dream: When I can finally get an iPad, I won’t have to go through the hell of converting from AVI to x264.
That said, I grabbed the AVI file instead of the x264 of the season (series?) finale of A Gifted Man to watch.
The future will have to start without me.

According to Wikipedia, x264 is the name of a free MPEG-4 H.264 encoding library. If it produces video that conforms to the standard, I don’t understand why you aren’t able to find a player that will work with them.
My PC is too damn weak is what it is. vlc and even QuickTime choke on them due to this weak hardware. An iPad or nearly any non-crap Android tablet can do that video just fine.
