5 Way SCART/S-Video Switch Box > Maplin

This seems like a very nice way to get a games console or camcorder hooked up to the TV alongside your DVD, Freeview and VCR . It is manual and 24.99, so maybe the automatically switched one for 29.99 is worth the extra.

DVD, Freeview set-top-box and a video recorder into a TV set with a single SCART socket, you may soon find you've run out of sockets - and what you'll been needing is a SCART switch box.

TV Connection Advisor

Actuallly this is mostly analogue, but it does give a good idea for connecting up a TV to a VCR, DVD and Freeview. Should even allow you to watch Freeview and record analogue TV, without multiple SCART sockets for the TV. I will try this tomorrow.

• Theora is a truly open-source video codec based on On2’s VP3 codec, as a part of the Ogg project. It provides comparable quality to MPEG-4 ASP (e.g. XviD), and it is BSD-licensed. Did I mention that it is open-source (unlike any of the MPEG, Microsoft, or On2 codecs)? I’ll discuss this in more detail in a future post.
...Unfortunately, FLV only supports two codecs: H.263 (bad) and On2 VP6 (great but commercial). That said, if the web is your medium, FLV is the obvious choice.
