Issues (Escape the Fate song)

"Issues" is a single by Escape the Fate off of their 2010 self-titled album. It was released as a digital single on iTunes September 14, 2010. However, the song leaked early via KROQ Radio on September 9, 2010. This song debuted at No. 48 on America's Music Charts for Active Rock, currently No. 27 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and debut No. 32 on both the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, and No. 39 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart.

Music video

The music video was released on September 28, 2010 and was directed by P.R. Brown. The video presents a narrative that is told out of chronology. It features the band members playing in a Churchlike building. Towards the end of the story (but shown throughout the video) it starts to show a mob of people breaking into the church and attacking all the band members, capturing them. The mob carries Craig, Monte, Max, and Robert outside where Max is seen being tied to a wooden stake, where he is subsequently burned. Monte is tied up in a similar action, however his rope is pulled as he falls in to a lake (Though, in the 'making of' video it is revealed that he was originally meant to be pulled into a pit of spikes). Robert is forced to lean his head against a stump, while a man with an axe is implied to have chopped his head off. Meanwhile, Craig is tied to a noose, and is seen barely keeping himself up by lifting his body up by pushing on a stick with his foot. When the video ends, the stick cracks and breaks, it is implied that the noose breaks Craig's neck.

Critical reception

Xvid

Xvid (formerly "XviD") is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 video coding standard, specifically MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP). It uses ASP features such as b-frames, global and quarter pixel motion compensation, lumi masking, trellis quantization, and H.263, MPEG and custom quantization matrices.

Xvid is a primary competitor of the DivX Pro Codec. In contrast with the DivX codec, which is proprietary software developed by DivX, Inc., Xvid is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This also means that unlike the DivX codec, which is only available for a limited number of platforms, Xvid can be used on all platforms and operating systems for which the source code can be compiled.

History

In January 2001, DivXNetworks founded OpenDivX as part of Project Mayo which was intended to be a home for open source multimedia projects. OpenDivX was an open-source MPEG-4 video codec based on a stripped down version of the MoMuSys reference MPEG-4 encoder. The source code, however, was placed under a restrictive license and only members of the DivX Advanced Research Centre (DARC) had write access to the project CVS. In early 2001, DARC member Sparky wrote an improved version of the encoding core called encore2. This was updated several times before, in April, it was removed from CVS without warning. The explanation given by Sparky was "We (our bosses) decided that we are not ready to have it in public yet."
