GUBA Usenet video service adds PSP support
GUBA, the
Web-based Usenet video and image search service, has added Sony
PlayStation Portable (PSP) support. The PSP joins the video iPod as a
supported device.
The Usenet is a bulletin board system that’s long been part of the
Internet, and a large chunk of the traffic that passes through it is
binary-encoded data including movies and digital images. As it’s broken
into “newsgroups” and binary-encoded data can be fragmented into many
individual files, or postings, before it can be reassembled, the Usenet
can be difficult to navigate.
For a monthly subscription fee, GUBA enables users to browse or
search Usenet archives for video or image content. GUBA provides the
ability to preview and download the video, watch it instantly using
Flash Video. In the case of iPod or PSP users, GUBA can also transcode
the video to a size and format suitable for their device.
PSP transcoding joins other recent enhancements, including the ability to create custom Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds.
