About Me: I am someone you can depend on. I have a cheerful nature, always kidding around. I am easy to become friends with.

Everything I do, I do with a passion. I gain satisfaction out of completing something to the fullest. That includes my studies, my work and my hobbies. I am very passionate about my life, my friends and this world and my outlook towards it.

I strive to know and understand the truth. I don't believe in faith or destiny. I believe in what I can sense with my 5 senses and anything that can be proven on paper. Anything else is open to debate and I treat with an open mind.

Interests: Excelling in school. Gaming. Learning new things. Watching discovery channel and Space. Technology is awesome. Want to know how everything works. Curious about the wonders out there.

Deep intrigue for the cosmos. Outer space and its mysteries. One word to describe my lust: fascinating.

Reading non-fiction books, listening to techno and dance music, going out with friends, watching movies in between studies in the genres of mystery, action and adventure.

Description: Current co-owner of a TestApp used to test a prototype GPU for Apple. The app parses container formats (mov, mkv, m4v, mp4) and raw streams (VC1, H264, MPEG2) to extract the video frames, feed them to the driver for hardware accelerated decode and then display the frames in display order on a video display window. Written in Objective C/C++.

Video files can be played from the TestApp GUI, developed using the XCode Interface Builder, or from the command line (which will not display the video on screen).

The app supports rewind and fast-forward at 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x. You can also step backward or forward through each frame manually.

The app also supports the comparision of the decoded frames with a yuv file which contains the expected decoded frames.
