Working in progress: powershell script to automatically fix DCOM errors which show up in the event log
# Get-EvengLog doesn't quite work I guess:

# Get-EventLog Application -EntryType Error -Source "DistributedCOM"
# The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
#$logs = Get-EventLog -LogName "System" -EntryType Error -Source "DCOM" -Newest 1 -Message "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID*"
# 2 is error
# 3 is warning

10-Bit H.264 explanation
10-Bit H.264
For all those who haven’t heard of it already, here’s a quick rundown about the
newest trend in making our encodes unplayable on even more systems: So-called
high-bit-depth H.264. So, why another format, and what makes this stuff
different from what you know already?
First off: What is bit depth?
In short, bit depth is the level of precision that’s available for storing color
information. The encodes you’re used to have a precision of 8 bits (256 levels)
