PSP video encoding quality compare

I've done some encoding tests with various settings using PSP Video 9 and altShiiva. I had originally intended to use altShiiva for encoding, but then after encoding one file, I noticed that it would hog my main system's resources for an extended period of time. Therefore I decided to look at alternatives, and chose PSP Video 9. This runs on Windows platform; my backup system has Athlon 64 3000+ for the CPU and runs Windows XP 64-bit Edition and can serve as an encoding workstation.

Router change completed

The new router seems to work well. I had the connection tested by several people and they all seem to agree that the website is quite accessible.

Server may be down temporarily

I'm changing the router this evening. The website may not be accessible for a while some time between now and midnight.

Icons on the sidebar, etc.

There have been several improvements to the site design.

I've been meaning to fill the empty space to the right of the text on each of the sidebar items since, well, it felt empty. So I've now made some icons and put them there. It should blend in nicely with the existing design.

While I was on that, I also made the blue arrows to replace the default ones which are currently visible on the calendar. Speaking of calendar, I adjusted the year/month display method to make it look okay on both English and Korean version of the website. The margins between each rows were changed so that the numbers don't stick so close together.

The problems with width element I had with the design had been pretty much fixed now. It was that some articles (mostly the ones from the old website) were prone to stretch the width of the content pane slightly. Also, on Mozilla-based web browsers, the article view often resulted in incorrect width adjustment, making the page a lot wider than intended. The website stylesheet has been adjusted to remedy these anomalies.
