Amiga Arena: Interview with Chris Hodges (Poseidon USB)
Many users considered the name "Chris Hodges" a concept since the mid-nineteen nineties, since Chris (in addition to writing demos and tools) also authored PD games like "Tubes."

Most recently with the introduction of the USB cards "Subway" and "Highway" developed by Michael Böhmer, most users will again consider this concept, because Chris has authored "Poseidon USB," making it possible for Amiga users to use standard USB hardware.

In the interview with Amiga Arena he discusses how this development came about, the concept behind "Poseidon USB," and what more great stuff users may expect in the future.

You'll reach the interview here in German and English. (ps) (Translation: dm)

BenderIRC: DCCCHAT Now With PGP

Cyborg writes in: Well, it took a while but BenderIRC is finally making progress again. The program components that were lost in the hard-drive crash have been fully restored, and it is now possible to add a PGP-encoded communication over the Internet with BenderIRC's DCCCHAT.

At this time it's unfortunately still not possible to comfortably go from BenderIRC to the PGP-DCCCHAT, because a specialized CTCP command must be defined. Whoever would like to take part in this effort can let us know via email. Attention must be drawn to the fact that PGP2 and PGP5 are both supported but must be separated.

For some time now a help system has been on the BenderIRC website. It is for the purpose of simplifying the reporting of bugs, so that more people will send us bug reports. The future plans are to eliminate some of the smaller bugs and then add the long-awaited configuration/installation tool.

Version 2.0 of Videokonverter-GUI for ffmpeg + VideoCD-Authoring
Carsten Siegner wrote:
The GUI "Videokonverter" in version 2.0 is finished. I have build in all features of ffmpeg not suspending each other. New is the port for plugin's of other GUIs. A plugin named "VideoCD Authorung" is added. With this plugin you are able to create VideoCD for DVD-Players. This means only the Mode-2-Images are created.

You have to use a compatible Burning Software. A created sample from the plugin I burned with MakeCD and tested on a Panasonic DVD-RV41 and it runs without problems, but the burner has mentioned an error and stopped burning. The first few seconds were played. I have to fix this error and then it will be free for download.

Now you can burn nearly every video format to a VideoCD, usable on a DVD-Player. If you want to get the program now send an email to me. (ps) (Translation: gf)
