There are so many hot or not picture voting sites out there that cover almost any subject imaginable but a video voting site that uses the same system is new to me. DizKiz pulls videos from youtube and lets the user vote for or against the videos. The majority of videos that they pull are funny ones - especially commercials, blunders, fakes and homemade fun movies.

I’m seldom impressed by commercials, most are boring, bad looking and not worth my time. I will come upon an exception from time to time that is worth watching. Some of these get even posted here at ghacks and the following one deserves its own article. It is a new BMW commercial from Glassworks which features stunning visuals with a nice orchestral soundtrack inspired by Beethoven’s 9th symphony in the background.

I’m normally not a friend of codec packs because they tend to install many codecs that are not needed on most systems and could pose compatibility problems with codecs already installed on the system. Windows Vista on the other hand misses some essential codecs that can be quite easily added with the Vista Codec Package which can be customized during installation. That is right, unlike other codec packages you can select to install all or only some of the codecs offered.

When I’m looking at my video collection I see different formats, file sizes, resolutions, bitrates, audio formats and codecs. It normally takes some time to create a DVD from this mess. What would you do if you wanted to create a DVD from various .mov, .avi and .mpg files ? Convert them, load them into a program that is able to create DVD`s and burn them afterwards ? How much time would that take, what would you say ?

Silence can sometimes be really funny. The following videos are taken from a Japanese game show where the candidates have to be silent most of the time. The “do not laugh” or “gaki no tsukai” show is funny but might be unsuited for some of the viewers, it can be quite disturbing at times if you are used to European or American tv shows. The first videos show the candidates in various situations where they are not allowed to laugh, the last two shows take part in a library where they play a silly game. It is a little bit like jackass..
