Break out a blank DVD and fire up x264! The folks behind x264, the freeware h.264 encoder, have announced Blu-ray compatibility. That means you’ll be able to burn a DVD containing h.264 video that will play on your standard-issue Blu-ray player. That’s good news if you still burn DVDs, something I haven’t done in for something like a year, and even then it was for someone else. Go away, plastic discs.

My own biases aside, this is a pretty big deal. Although there’s no freeware Blu-ray authoring software available right now (meaning you can’t create discs with fancy menus and the like), you’re still able to output a disc that will play on your Blu-ray player.

Depending on compression, the resulting file can fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD. Of course, you could give the file little room to breath by sticking it on a dual layer DVD.

The sample ISO, which contains scenes from several Creative Commons films, comes in at 2.33GB. If only I had any blank discs to speak of, I’d be able to try it myself!

All you’d need is any old ISO burning software, like Nero or whatever, and off you go.

Who knows, in a few years time we’ll be able to create full Blu-ray discs of our exciting family reunions!

Originally designed for the military as an easily deployable way to reduce the dirt, dust and debris that gets kicked up by a helicopter’s rotors, these Sand Free Multimats, from an Australian company called CGear, are just as effective at keeping the stuff out of your tent or off your gear while at the beach.

The mats feature a clever dual-layer mesh design that allows dust and sand to fall through without coming back up. So when placed in front of the entrance to your tent they’ll provide an effective way to keep the sand on the beach and out of your sleeping bag. The consumer versions of the mats are available in 3 sizes, 6×6 feet, 8×8 feet and 10×10 feet for $50, $60 and $75 respectively, and should be available in popular sporting goods stores sometime in May.
