Talk:Man with No Name

"Similar Characters?"
Nearly everything in the "Similar Characters" section seems to be completely irrelevant to this article. This article begins with the stipulation that, "This article is about the film character played by Clint Eastwood" -- but most of the cited examples have absolutely nothing in common with Eastwood's character, aside from having no specified name. (In particular, comparing Eastwood's character to the protagonist from the "Kill Bill" movies, the Prince from the "Prince of Persia" game, or Boba Fett are all just utterly ridiculous.)

I strongly suggest removing the entire "Similar Characters" section; or at the very least, limiting the entries within it to characters that are directly and unquestionably inspired by Eastwood's "Man With No Name." Merely being nameless does NOT make a character "similar" in anything but the most superficial sense. FireHorse 12:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I do agree with FireHorse. This section is original research which is against WP guidelines. I must admit in trying to trawl through this section I did not get past Bronson as "Harmonica"... and Harmonica is in my opinion not a similar character at all; he is secretly on a quest for revenge (that is absolutely the key aspect of the character) and Eastwood's character was not.

 * It's been quite a while since I left the comments above. If no one has any objections, I'm going to remove everything from the "Similar Characters" section except items that are clearly based on or inspired by Eastwood's "Man With No Name." Objections...? FireHorse (talk) 20:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I was redirect to this page after opening a link on the "Sword of the Stranger" film page when talking about the swordsman with no name. I a little confused as it's talking about a character with no name, as this article talks about, but it this is completely irrelevant to the other page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.102.181.144 (talk) 23:31, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge?
I would like to merge this article with the very similar article, "The Man with No Name." Any objections? --Draugen 06:34, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

misprint
I replace "Monco" by "Manco", the right spanish word for one-handed

 * "Manco" may indeed be the Spanish word for "one-handed" but the film's dialog (and subtitles provided on the US and UK DVDs) indicate "Monco" is the correct nickname for the Eastwood character. The credits provided in Christopher Frayling's 'Something To Do With Death' Leone biography list "Monco" as the character's name.  Robert C. Cumbow's 'Once Upon A Time:  The Films of Sergio Leone' also references the character's name as "Monco".  The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has the character listed as "Monco."  In fact all reliable sources say "Monco", not "Manco".  If all these sources are incorrect, which I suppose is possible, then actual sources of information (such as interviews with screenwriters or cast members) should be provided if anyone insists upon changing the name to "Manco".

 * I found a 1998 interview with screenwriter Luciano Vincenzoni (http://www.fistful-of-leone.com/classic/articles/vince.html), in which he was asked (by interviewer Cenk Kiral) what the correct name for the Eastwood character was. He replied that the name was "Monco," and added "in Italian it means a man with only one hand."  So, its definitely "Monco", not "Manco".  As suspected by viewers more astute than myself, the filmmakers apparently DID intend the nickname as a subtle "fitting joke" regarding The Man With No Name's occasional favoring of his shooting arm in the film.Hal Raglan 13:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It is fairly good that Sergio Leone himself says that his nickname is "Monco". But, what has to do an italian word in a western movie, located in a spanish language place? The man who speaks of him clearly says "Manco". So, I think there's a little mistake in the film itself, if they "officialy" gave the character the name of Monco. What I'm saying is that the "official" nickname Monco is probably a goof of the italian producers. Nazroon 06:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The law offical near the beginning of 'A Few Dollars More' clearly states that Clint Eastwood's character is named "Manco". In Italian, "Monco" would still be pronounced as it is written and "Manco" would sound as is is written.  There is no pronounciation difference between English and Italian for the two words.  Since "Manco" is clearly pronounced, one would have to assume that this would be the preferred pronounciation and spelling.  I would agree with the user (Nazroon) that it was probably a mistake on the original audio dub or a mistake by the producers.  It is the only time that any character states officially what the Clint Eastwood character's name is, and it clearly says "Manco" (<<<>>> ).  If it was supposed to be "Monco", then someone made a mistake at somepoint because that name did not make it to the final film.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayhemproducer (talk • contribs) 16:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Picture
Surely the picture accompanying this article ('The Man With No Name from the Dollars Trilogy, played by Clint Eastwood') is not in fact taken from any of the Dollars Trilogy movies? I'm not sure which Eastwood movie it's actually from (possibly "Hang 'Em High"?) but the overall appearence doesn't resemble any of the costumes Eastwood wore in his 'spagetti westerns'. Is it possible to source a more relevant photo? Demos99 09:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

-Exactly. That is NOT Eastwood in any Leone picture - he looks about 10 years older.

The Man With No Name as stated in the intro, does not onlyrefer to the Man With No Name of Leone's movies, and as such the picture stands as an example of the Man With No Name outside of that which fits the definition. --142.162.166.97 02:49, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Fair enough - if the picture was from one of the MWNN movies. I still think it looks like it could be from 'Hang 'Em High' in which Eastwood's character *does* have a name: Marshal Jed Cooper. (See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061747 .) Apart from the Dollars Trilogy, the only other MWNN movies Eastwood's made have been 'High Plains Drifter' (which could be a 'possible' source for the still (although I'm not convinced)) where he's 'The Stranger' and 'Pale Rider', where he's 'Preacher'. In any case, I feel it's fair to say that the MWNN persona is more closely associated in most people's minds with the Dollars Trilogy and just feel that a more 'indisputable' picture should be used. Demos99 00:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * In addition, the 'place text' for the disputed picture is "The Man With No Name from the Dollars Trilogy, played by Clint Eastwood", which is clearly inaccurate, since I think we both agree it's *not* from the Dollars Trilogy. Demos99 00:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

This has now been fixed with a pic from For a Few Dollars More.

Recent editing
A lot of recent anonymous edits have bungled the text...I'm not sure how to fix it since I don't really know the subject matter, but it's somewhat unreadable at the moment. Adam Bishop 23:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have tried to adress this by adding some captions.

Red Harvest
Its somewhat contested and unconfirmed that Yojimbo is based on Red Harvest, so am removing "Although ultimately based on Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett". Highlandlord 16:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Original research
What is this rant about Josey Wales under "Fan Theory"? A prime example of OR if you ask me.

Plagiarism and Lawsuit?
This article makes the claim that both the film A Fistful of Dollars as well as the "man with no name" character were both directly plagiarized from the film Yojimbo and that the makers of the film actually sued over it. Until this can backed up with some actual citations I think the "unreferenced" tag should remain on this article. -- Grandpafootsoldier 07:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * While we're at it, I'm scrapping the uncited (and almost certainly incorrect) picture caption assertion that GBU was "illegally" copied from Yojimbo. Vonspringer 03:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

original research: supernatural interpretation
The following smacks of original research. I don't think it belongs in the article, but I've moved it here in the hopes that it can be properly sourced and put back into the main article. --142.103.211.144 21:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Supernatural Interpretation of the Man With No Name
Some instances, at least, of the Man With No Name may not be, or be intended as, human in the normal sense of the word. There is a wealth of supernatural symbolism around the general stock character:

 * "Pale Rider" is an ancient epithet for, or emblem of, Death personified.
 * Similarly, a pale or white horse (the Man's usual mount) is traditionally portrayed as Death's steed (as in Revelation).
 * Folklore of many cultures attaches mystical, occult, and/or demonic significance to a wanderer with no name or identity.
 * The Man With No Name is frequently credited with weapons skill, perceptions, charisma, foresight, stamina, keenness of mental perception, and/or detachment well beyond ordinary human capacity and into the realm of the supernatural.
 * His separation from and contempt for human society, while not psychopathic (it is evident that he acts from some sort of moral code, though its nature is unclear and alien to the society around him), suggests a mode of existence far removed from that of others.

In High Plains Drifter, the Man's identification as an avenging spirit comes as close to explicit as possible without being directly stated: at the end of the film, a townsman carving a grave marker asks him his name, and he answers, "You know my name," and the camera pans to the name on the grave marker (that of a sheriff murdered by the very outlaws who had just been massacred).

In Pale Rider, the Stranger is shown with the scars of flatly unsurvivable bullet wounds in his back, and rides into town on a pale horse just as a young woman is reading the requisite verse of Revelation: "death on a pale horse..." Another character recognises his description but states that the man matching it is dead. Eastwood has identified the character as a ghost in an interview available at http://www.clinteastwood.net/welcome.html.

Supporting evidence for a supernatural view of The Man With No Name is thinner for the "The Dollars Trilogy", but the process by which the Man acquires his signature clothing (from a character named Angel-eyes, and a dying man) in GBU is suggestive of a shamanic rebirth or initiation, or an occult bargain. This slight suggestion of the supernatural in the last film of the trilogy may have been a presage of the more explicit supernaturalism of High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider.

 * There is 'Taboo Deformation' where the name of a feared entity is changed. This occurs with wolves, bears, etc.  Also, there is where the revered, the 'sacred god', has a name that cannot be mentioned- is ineffable- and is altered out of respect, as in the Jewish use of 'G_d'.

 * I'm very skeptical of the identification for Dollars. The man is portrayed as determinedly mortal - he gets injured and beaten up all the time, and he needs a metal shield to do his Yojimbo-invulnerability trick, and so on. And further, I'd question the article's description of him as 'superhuman'. If he is so superhuman, then why in For a Few Dollars More is Colonel Mortimer specifically portrayed as being a better shot and more experienced skilled fighter than him? --Gwern (contribs) 16:47 2 August 2008 (GMT) 16:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Occasional Nicknames
"Occasional Nicknames" states the following: "The credits for A Fistful of Dollars list Eastwood's character as "Joe" and though the undertaker in the movie calls him by that name, he is the only character to do so (and it is further worth noting that "Joe" is often used as a generic nickname). Thus, during the entire incident in the beginning of the movie, he uses only his left hand when lighting his cigar, dealing the cards and striking the man he is hunting (keeping the right hand on his gun the whole time)." I'm assuming there's supposed to be something in there about "Monco," correct? intooblv (talk) 03:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Why did Clint quit?
So, I've been wondering. Why did Eastwood stop playing the character? The movies seemed to be fairly successful both critically and definitely commercially, and based on how well-received spaghetti westerns continued to be made (Once Upon A Time), so it wasn't for lack of good ideas or lack of financing or external discouragement. Why then did he stop? --Gwern (contribs) 16:59 2 August 2008 (GMT)

 * Moasty likely he feared of being type-casted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.13.205.166 (talk) 12:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

 * He also fell out with Sergio Leone. Whether this was just artistic differences or more personal, I don't know. They supposedly made up before Leone died. The Yeti (talk) 22:37, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Is this a subtle joke?
He is characteristically soft-spoken and laconic, speaking only when necessary, with as few words as possible. So, calling him "laconic" suggests that he doesn't speak much. Describing him as, "speaking only when necessary" seems slightly redundant. "with as few words as possible" really has me wondering if this is a bit of a joke. Saying the same thing three times over, to indicate that a person doesn't talk much, just sounds like someone was having fun with the content. Or is it just in my head? 139.57.100.104 (talk) 23:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Perhaps the sentence was written by three different people, each thinking the previous version insufficiently explicit. —Tamfang (talk) 15:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Popular culture
All of this information is completely unsourced or completely useless. Such a section is not a bad idea, but this junk needs to stay out of it unless sources are found. I'm placing it here for now in case anyone wants to sift through it. TTN (talk) 18:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Roland Deschain, the protagonist of Stephen King's magnum opus Dark Tower series, was heavily influenced by Leone's Man with No Name. Character Eddie Dean even notes "He's some sort of Clint Eastwood".
 * Other films featuring characters very similar to the Man with No Name include Leone's later Once Upon a Time in the West featuring Charles Bronson in a role somewhat akin to Eastwood's (known in the movie as "Harmonica" since he plays one); Eastwood's own films, High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider; The Tonino Valerii film My Name Is Nobody starring Terence Hill as Nobody; the Jim Jarmusch film Dead Man co-starring Gary Farmer as Nobody; and the more recent Yojimbo remake Last Man Standing, starring Bruce Willis (directed by Walter Hill). Tony Anthony played "the Stranger" in a trilogy of spaghetti westerns produced by Allen Klein and released by MGM. Eastwood's Unforgiven arguably contains an older, more remorseful version of the character.

 * In 1999 television film Dollar for the Dead is the tribute to the spaghetti westerns. Emilio Estevez portrayed an unnamed character similar to Clint Eastwood's characters.

 * The protagonist of the Mad Max trilogy, played by Mel Gibson, shares many traits with the archetypal Clint Eastwood character. In the third film of the series, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the announcer at the Thunderdome introduces the "Max" character to the crowd as "The Man With No Name".

 * I watched MM3 this evening and Max is definitely introduced as, among other things, "The Man With No Name". Unfortunately there appears to be no way to add a link to my BluRay player and it'd break if I now watch another film. Mr Larrington (talk) 03:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

 * In the movie version of Paint Your Wagon, although Eastwood's character bears little resemblance to the traditional Man with No Name, he still lacks a name and is referred to simply as "Pardner" throughout the movie. At the end he reveals that his name is Sylvester Newel.

 * In one episode of The Pretender, Jarod is described as "the man with no name".

 * George Lucas attributes the character of Boba Fett to The Man with No Name in the DVD commentary on The Empire Strikes Back. His armour includes a blanket or short cape that is reminiscent of Eastwood's poncho used throughout the trilogy. The most obvious similarity between the characters is that they are both bounty hunters. In true style of "a man with no name", Fett's name is not mentioned once in The Empire Strikes Back. When he enters the scene on Cloud City after Darth Vader blocks Han Solo's blaster shots with his hand, the clink of spurs can be heard clearly, even though the character does not wear spurs.

 * In one episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger featured in a Wild West parody as an outlaw wanted for stealing a train. He called himself "The Tigger with No Name", while his sidekick, Pooh, called himself "The Pooh with A Name (if only [he] could remember what it was)".

 * One episode of Animaniacs featured Chicken Boo disguising himself as "The man with no personality".

 * One-Eyed Garth in the Magic: The Gathering series of novels, specifically "Arena", bears a strong resemblance to the character, in that he doesn't reveal his name until the end of the book (and then it is someone else who reveals it) and he has a mysterious purpose. Furthermore, the plot of the book loosely follows that of A Fistful of Dollars, with One Eye playing warring organizations against each other and profiting off all of them.

 * In the cartoon series Time Squad, an episode featured the team time traveling to cause Billy the Kid to become an outlaw. The team was successful enough that a Man With No Name, bearing a great resemblance to Eastwood, was sent after them. The bounty hunter pursued them throughout the episode, even after they had returned to the future.

 * A graphic novel named Dead West features a protagonist who bears a great resemblance to Eastwood, including the serape. The unnamed protagonist, a bounty hunter, chases a bandit to the town of Lazarus, where the dead have risen as zombies.  The bounty hunter eventually burns half the town and kills the leader of the zombies, though his mark manages to escape.

 * In the Japanese eroge (adult computer game) Satsuriko no Jango by NitroPlus, one of the protagonists is a female gunslinger named Donne Anonime, which is Italian for 'anonymous women'. The game itself is based on those spaghetti westerns where the man with no name was popularized.

 * In the Japanese film Versus (2000), all of the characters in the film have no name.

 * In the Japanese anime film Sword of the Stranger, the main character is a swordsman with no name. Another main character, Kotaro, refers to him as the nameless samurai ("Nanashi").

 * In Back to the Future Part III, Marty, going by the alias Clint Eastwood, defeats Buford by imitating the final showdown in A Fistful of Dollars (which he had seen in Biff's penthouse suite in Part II).

 * The appearance and personality of the main character of Oddworld Inhabitants' Western video game Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is very similar to that of the Man with No Name. In addition, his name is never revealed, with characters simply calling him "stranger".

 * In the Futurama episode "Where the Buggalo Roam", Zapp Brannigan says "I am the man with no name... Zapp Brannigan".

 * The Marvel Comics character Wraith is based on the Man with No Name.

 * In "Inca Mummy Girl", an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xander Harris dresses as the Man With No Name for a dance with an international theme; he explains, "I'm from the country of Leone. It's in Italy, pretending to be Montana".

 * In Transformers: Animated, there is an episode called "Fistful of Energon". Also, a character named Lockdown wears a costume similar to Clint Eastwood's character in this movie.

 * Metal Gear series protagonist Solid Snake appears in Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, but introduces himself to the main character, Django (himself a reference to the movie Django), as a "Man with No Name", maintaining the Spaghetti Western motif of the series.

 * In the 2007 film Shoot 'Em Up, Clive Owen's character is known only by the false name "Mr. Smith" and is seemingly invincible as he fights for an innocent baby. Clearly influenced by the Eastwood character, he is described by one of the villains of the film as "a man with no name riding into town on a pale horse". referencing both The Man With No Name and another Eastwood character The Pale Rider.

 * In the game Hitman: Blood Money, when asked for his name, Agent 47 responds "Names are for friends, so I don't need one".

 * In the alternate history novel Back in the USSA, the Man with No Name appears as the sheriff of a post-Communist feudal town in California.

 * Rock frontman Scott Weiland is noted for his resemblance to Clint Eastwood, and in the 2007 music video for "She Builds Quick Machines", he portrays a cowboy similar to the Man with No Name in a western setting with his bandmates.

 * The man with no name is mentioned by Edward Norton in the 1999 film "Rounders" in reference to Matt Damon's decision to come back and play a poker game despite swearing off gambling. Norton says that Damon's favorite actor is Clint Eastwood, the man with no name, who always doubles back to save a friend.

 * The Super Famicom RPG Live-A-Live (created by Squaresoft, never released outside Japan) features a playable character who greatly resembles the "Man with No Name" both in attire, lack of speech and skills in gunplay.

 * In the Total Drama Action episode "The Wacky Wild West", Chris McLean whistles the tune of the man with no name.

 * |Jesse McCree, one of the playable heroes of a team-based first person shooter video game Overwatch, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. His character design, voice, gameplay and a manner of speech are an influence, if not homage, to the Man with No Name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KariEllien (talk • contribs) 17:56, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Article's purpose?

 * According to IMDb, the character's name is Joe and this article itself says that. So, in answer to your question, article's purpose seems to be to convince us that Joe has no name. Since the evidence won't be found in the movie, the article seeks evidence from other sources. 68.173.49.156 (talk) 02:13, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Bafflingly, the article demands a citation for the statement that UA created the MWNN persona concept - it's in the flipping American release trailers, written by the American distributors! It's not in the movies, it's not in the scripts, it's not Leone's idea and there's no evidence that it is. But there's a goldarn trailer with it, spoken by an American. Why on earth is a citation needed again? There seems to be a huge wealth of information on Wikipedia that doesn't have citations; what's this obsession with them? Surely they're needed only where something is disputed or else is disputable within sound reason? 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:FD8A:DD5E:FE4D:BD61 (talk) 16:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Article oddity
I note that the "Concept and creation" section has more info about Yojimbo and Mifune than about Eastwood and Leone. I don't necessarily have any suggestions about how to change that. I am posting this in case anyone who might know (or want to research) things and make any changes to the article that they see fit. MarnetteD|Talk 02:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Color of the poncho
A look at these does not give a definitive answer as to the poncho. The design on it is more memorable than the color. It is also important to note that it isn't seen until the very end of GBU so hyperbolic words like iconic or signature are POV. Of course if any sourcing can be found onee way or the other then that could be used in the article. MarnetteD|Talk 18:02, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Bruce Willis and Last Man Standing are irrelevant
I just deleted the following sentence from the Concept and creation section as it has nothing to do with the Man with No Name:

A subsequent film, Last Man Standing (1996) starring Bruce Willis, is a credited remake of Yojimbo.

 * It is relevant if you actually read the section. ---  The Old Jacobite  The '45  23:22, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi TOJ. I don't know if you saw my post above, IMO this article has too much info about Yojimbo, Kurosawa and Mifune. Mifune's character has not been been described in reliable secondary sources as "TMwNN". While the first Fistful film was based on Yojimbo, FaFDM and TGtBatU are not. In the same vein the info about Red Harvest is only tangentially related to Fistful. While there are plenty of sources LMS is a remake of Yojimbo that doesn't apply to any relationship to Dollars. In some ways the only info about Yojimbo that is relevant is how Leone didn't get AK's permission for using his film as the basis for Dollars. Now these are just my thoughts and I certainly understand if you disagree. I do hope that someday another editor(s) come along and help put the focus of the article back on Clint's character. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 23:44, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Missing Information and Citation
This article is incomplete and is missing important citations for its information. The appearances in literature section needs to be rewritten so that it briefly details the character's appearance in each work with proper citations. This section should also include the character's appearances in film as well with the same detailing and citation applying to it. If there is any more information out there on the character's concept and creation then it should be added to the article with proper citations. The article is also missing important information on the character's reception and legacy which needs to be added to the article with the proper citations. This article has potential like most article to be GA and FA status if enough attention is given to it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:51, 20 September 2017 (UTC) The popular culture section also needs to be rewritten so that it's not bullet points.

should the main character of the mandalorian series be mentioned? his mannerism and attitude is quite similar to the man with no name and i believe the series as a whole is referred as a "space western" or some similar title. Rakspak (talk) 00:35, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Pupa (Hasidic dynasty)

Kehillas Yaakov Pupa (also "Puppa"; Hebrew/Yiddish: קהלת יעקב פאפא) is a Hasidic dynasty, named after the Yiddish name of the town of its origin (known in Hungarian as Pápa).

Before World War II Pupa had a yeshiva. The whole community was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and only a few survived. There are no longer any Jews there.

The group is based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with branches in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, Monsey, New York, Los Angeles, and Ossining, New York. It is headed by the Pupa rebbe, who has several thousand followers.

Pupa has more than 7,000 students enrolled in its yeshivas, girls schools, summer camps, and kollelim in Williamsburg, Boro Park, Monsey, Westchester County, New York, Montreal, Jerusalem, and elsewhere. In Williamsburg, Pupa is second in size to the Satmar Hasidim, with whom they share many communal facilities.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城 武) is a Japanese actor and singer based in Taiwan. Beginning his career as a pop idol, he has since moved his focus from music to film. Kaneshiro has worked with renowned directors throughout East Asia, including Wong Kar-wai (Chungking Express and Fallen Angels), Peter Chan (Perhaps Love, The Warlords, and Dragon), Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers) and John Woo (Red Cliff and The Crossing I and II), resulting in collaborations that have achieved both commercial success and critical acclaim. Kaneshiro is also well known in the gaming industry for being the model and voice for the samurai character Samanosuke Akechi in Capcom’s Onimusha video game series.

Early life
Kaneshiro was born in Taipei, Taiwan. His mother is from Taiwan and his father is from Okinawa. He was born and raised in Taipei, but holds Japanese citizenship.

The son of a Japanese businessman and a Taiwanese homemaker, Kaneshiro has two elder half-brothers: one who is seven years his senior, and another who is just one year older. After graduating from Taipei Japanese Junior High School, he enrolled at an English-medium international school, Taipei American School, where he learned English. During his time at secondary school, Kaneshiro began working in television commercials, and he decided to leave school to pursue a full-time career in music and acting. Kaneshiro is multilingual, fluent in Mandarin, Hokkien, Japanese, and to lesser degrees in Cantonese and English. Taiwanese Hokkien was the first language he spoke while growing up in Taiwan.

Name
Kaneshiro is a common Okinawan surname, albeit with an unusual pronunciation, as the usual reading is Kinjō, while the traditional Okinawan pronunciation is Kanagusuku or Kanegusuku. His given name is. He appears as in Japanese media.

Since personal names are commonly written in Chinese characters in both Chinese and Japanese naming conventions, following the Eastern name order, and in this particular case the name, in its written form, appears native in both Japanese and Chinese, giving Kaneshiro the freedom to associate himself as a Japanese or Chinese when working in China by preserving or removing the space between his surname and given name.

1992 to 1999: Early years and career breakthrough
In 1992, Kaneshiro made his singing debut, entering the business with the nickname "Aniki", meaning 'older brother' in Japanese. His debut album was Heartbreaking Night (1992). Contracted to EMI, he wrote many of his own Mandarin and Cantonese songs. The following year, his popularity propelled him into acting. He no longer produces any commercial music, although certain notable roles, such as those in Peter Chan’s Perhaps Love (2005) and See You Tomorrow (2016) have required him to sing onscreen.

Kaneshiro made his film debut in Executioners (1993) and this was followed by Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express (1994), Fallen Angels (1995) and a string of other Hong Kong films, such as Lost and Found (1996), and Anna Magdalena (1998). It was through his collaboration with the auteur director Wong Kar Wai in Chungking Express that Kaneshiro first developed what would become his onscreen signature, namely quirky, character-driven performances that often played against type and ran counter to his idol image. Later, Kaneshiro starred in the Japanese Drama God, Please Give Me More Time (1998), allowing him to branch into Japanese films such as Returner (2002), as well as "K-20: Legend of the Mask" (2009) and Accuracy of Death (also titled “Sweet Rain”), (2010).

2000 to 2010: Mainstream success
Kaneshiro’s work, however, is more heavily concentrated in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In 2005, he sang his way through Perhaps Love, the first modern musical to be produced in China. It was the first of many collaborations with Hong Kong-based director Peter Chan. In 2008 and 2009 he starred in Red Cliff, a high budget film by Hong Kong director John Woo. He has also played the romantic lead in Zhang Yimou's House of Flying Daggers, and starred alongside Jet Li and Andy Lau in The Warlords. He expressed excitement when he received the news that he would have an opportunity to work with Director Zhang Yimou.

Kaneshiro has also become well known in the video game industry portraying the samurai warrior Samanosuke in Capcom's Onimusha. In a June 2007 article on the film site Ain't It Cool News, it was revealed that Kaneshiro was going to be in the Onimusha film, reprising his role as Samanosuke and for a 2011 release, but that project was derailed. The producer Samuel Hadida had to delay the filming of Onimusha, which has resulted in the film's Japanese cast working on other film projects during the delay, and being unavailable to start filming. These factors were enough that French director Christophe Gans will now direct an adaptation of Leo Perutz's novel The Swedish Cavalier first, taking over the reins from Gilles Mimouni. Satomi Ishihara and Tsuyoshi Ihara remain attached to the project.

In 2003, Kaneshiro was featured in Time magazine and was dubbed the Johnny Depp of the East Asian film industry. Moreover, Kaneshiro was interviewed by journalist Hugh Riminton for CNN in the network’s TalkAsia segment in 2006.

2011 to present: Selective films
In 2011, Kaneshiro appeared in the historical martial arts thriller Dragon, directed by Peter Chan. The film premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in the Midnight Screenings category.

In 2017, Kaneshiro was the winner of the Best Leading Actor award at the second annual Golden Screen Awards. He won for his starring role in the romantic comedy This Is Not What I Expected, which was directed by Derek Hui and produced by Peter Chan.

Kaneshiro became a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2018. In that same year, he completed filming for Juno Mak's Sons of the Neon Night, with an ensemble cast that includes Tony Leung Ka Fai, Louis Koo, and Sean Lau. It was reported in 2020 that the release of this film will be postponed to 2021. The reasons given involved production issues, including budgeting and tensions between the director and cast. Kaneshiro will act as the spokesperson for the new Paradise 2M mobile multiplayer game launched in March 2021.

Personal life
Kaneshiro is a practicing Buddhist, having converted in 1997, and has said his mother is also a devout Buddhist. Throughout his career, Kaneshiro has been given titles such as "heartthrob," "dream guy," but he has maintained a steady sense of humility. Kaneshiro is also known for trying to avoid the media spotlight. He has been quoted as saying: "If one day I get married and have kids, I will probably be one of those men who really care for the family. I will eat at home every day, and help with the house work and take care of the children."

Awards and nominations
Takeshi Kaneshiro is one of 10 recipients of the 2010 Green Planet Film Award for Ten Best International Actors of the Decade (Asia).

Untitled
Flagging this page for a number of structural changes, notably a breakdown by category and refactoring of some unorthodox spellings and usage of & amp characterisation Sjc 06:42, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Skald
At the moment Skald leads to a disambiguation page, and the main meaning of skald is at Skald (poet). Since the other article in question is about a Norwegian publishing firm which is only a secondary meaning, I'd like to move Skald (poet) to Skald and have a note on the top of the article that there is a publishing firm using the name as well. This move should very uncontroversial since the basic and prestigious name for a viking poet is the reason why the firm has chosen the name. Keeping the meanings equal is publicity.--Wiglaf 07:30, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Great! You're fast! :D --Wiglaf 09:50, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

á
I'm not sure, but isn't skald spelled skáld in Icelandic? If so,it should be fixed.

 * Depends. In early Old Norse tha vowel seems to have been short (skald) though in later Old Norse it is long (skáld). In any case "skald" can be said to be a loanword in English without the accent so we're probably best off keeping the article here. Good observation, though. Haukur 20:01, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Mythical gods
The page currently includes the phrase "the mythical god Bragi". Yet the page on e.g. Yahweh doesn't say "the name of the mythical god of the Jews". This seems discriminatory to me. Why is one god receiving preferential treatment over another?

It is 'skjald', not 'skald'
In the entire Scanidnavian literature it is called skjald. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.81.21.90 (talk) 15:25, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:France–Germany relations

Are we really talking about France-Germany relations when we talk about the Habsburgs and Prussia?
Germany did not become a state until the 1870's, so wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Prussian nation's relationship with france and the habsburgs relation with france be discussed in separate articles? Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.67.156 (talk) 22:05, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Motivation
For me, the Elisée treaty is an important event because it shows that people that considered each other everlasting enemies can turn to friends within less than a generation.

This is a sign of hope in our time that seems to be sliding towards war.

Sebastian Helm (22 Jan 2003)

 * Yeah but if two find together others might go to war against that duett...

MatthieuN (27 Sept 2006)

Out of curiosity, where does that come from? "From a French perspective, the relationship with Germany is important as it helps project a Gaullist view of la grande France." That's totaly wrong to say the French perspective is one of a Grande France, what does that mean? France is trying to annex Germany? If no one's against, I'll remove it since since it's a totaly biased and personnal comment, not based of fact. There is also, right above that statement, a "Jacques Delors" lost without sentence nor anything before or after it, so I remove it too until the person having put it can complete the statement.

History right?
Can someone with more historical knowledge than me please have a look at the following paragraph:

 * The European Confederation was built on the basis of warm ties between all the European Allies in the World War II, but the most important ties were those between the Great Powers of Europe -- French Union, British Empire, Italy, Spain, Sweden and above all, the fragmented population of eighty million Germanophones scattered in five different states in the middle of Europe. The Bavarian and Austrian kingdoms resumed their old traditionally friendly relationships with France following the removal of the League forces in 1949, while the Saxon and Brandenburg republics began to cultivate a reasonably friendly relationship with France out of fear of the Soviet military might in Poland. These four states were too weak to challenge the reestablished status quo in central Europe, and consequently followed the lead of the European League Great Powers in international and European affairs.

To me this looks like someone has mixed up the political situation in Europe pre-WWI and post-WWII. E.g., in 1949, there were no Saxon and Brandenburg republics. -- till we ☼ ☽ | Talk 15:17, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * but there were saxons peoples... isn't it? I taken those infos on an old review, I'd like very much contributions from Germans users to make more accurate that page, thanks!
 * PS I refer to the French Union even if that existed only after the War but volountary to evidenciate that at that time when referring to France you mean France and all the colonial empire but there wasn't an official term to describe it, only "France". I tought it should be confusing for someone so I wrote "French Union"

 * But that is exactly the problem: you obviously don't have a clue about the exact political and historical situation in Europe in the first half of the 20th century, but you present your idosyncratic ideas (like writing "French Union" even if it's called "French Republic"/"Republique Francaise"). How should anyone reading this know that by "Saxon and Brandenburg republics" you mean the "German Democratic Republic" (but which didn't cultivate a friendly relationsship with France, but was part of the Eastern bloc), by "French Union" you mean "France before the war but without colonies" and so on. Really, to me it looks like either being very uninformed, or just vandalism. Reading LeMonde doesn't help here. -- till we ☼ ☽ | Talk 22:00, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Joint forces
To H1523702: There is in fact a small combined Franco-German elite force since at least mid-1980's ("Deutsch-Französische Brigade", Kehl). -- till we ☼ ☽ | Talk 15:24, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Yeah but what Chirac has in mind will be very different at that time, but it is probable he will wait for the new German elections to proceed, I only hope that whatever he has in mind will erase the shadows of the very stupid decision taken by French in the 1954, if France accepted the German help at that time MAYBE the last 50years of French story wrote on every encyclopaedia of the world could be very different... :-(

User:Bushit 21:24 20 July 2004 CET

 * I removed "the two countries are collaborating actively for a new joint Franco-German Military force." That is what i was suggesting there is no evidence of (to my knowledge).Mark 19:41, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Alternate History
Hey, I found out what the probleme is! The history part is a copyvio of "" (as it is noted in Cleanup). Now, this explains why there are lot of ahistoricalities and nonsense ideas -- not only because it is a copyvio, but also and especially, because it is a copyvio of an alternate history website, describing an European unification process to an European Confederation that never happened in our thread of history. So, to stop the nonsense, I deleted everything I'm not 100% sure of (that is, most of the article). -- till we ☼ ☽ | Talk 22:12, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Cleanup Feb 14th 2006
The article looks better to me now. The old version had some UK perceptions in the intro paragraph without explaining what the cooperation is actually about. I think it would be helpful to now also present a documentation what are the motives and rubs in it. Also in regards to where the EU is heading... I guess both a more eleborated history chapter or alliances chapter would serve this. February 24th 2006

map image
I don't see why all the microstates are included on this map (Andorra, Monaco, Lichtenstein, San Marion, Vatican, Macao, Dubai, Sao Tome, the Carribbean, etc.) I don't see what they have to do with the topic of the article, and why if someone went through all the trouble of making a world map, the French overseas departments weren't included (French Guiana, etc.) JesseRafe 07:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

History section
Shouldn't the history section begin somewhat earlier? The contrast between the extreme antagonism between France and Germany from 1870 to 1945 and their friendship since the 1950s is often highlighted and it seems lacking to me not to discuss it in this article. 96T (talk) 16:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * There should definitly be a bit about the Weimar Republic and Aristide Briand and Gustav Stresemann. After all the two got the 1926 Nobel Peace Prize.--ospalh (talk) 11:22, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion the history should begin a lot earlier, as is the case with United Kingdom – United States relations. Therefore I have moved a huge chunk of text from French-German enmity into this article. This has more than doubled the article's total size. At some point it may make sense to move part of the material into subarticles that cover individual periods in the French-German relations. French-German enmity is one that already exists.

One problem is that the text I copied here was very obviously originally written by a German. Up to 1870/71 I think it's more or less OK after I rewrote a lot (and it wasn't all that bad to begin with). But the section "World Wars" is very strongly POV and I have marked it with a "POV-check" template until someone (possibly me) gets around to fixing it. Hans Adler 20:39, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I would have to agree with you, Hans Adler. This is a rather slanted and extremely cliched view of Franco-German relations. To use one example, this article exaggerates the importance of revanchisme in France. True, revanchisme was an important current in French life between 1871-1914, but it didn't dominate everything as this article implies. If that been the case, General Georges Boulanger, aka "General Revanche" would have been swept into power rather than committing suicide as his political career ended in complete failure. There really needs to be distinction drawn between French policy towards Germany and French popular views towards Germany, and instead treating them as one and the same as this article does. Perhaps the best comparison would be with Argentina's attitude on the Falklands today-every Argentine politician insists that "Islas Malvinas" are sacred Argentine soil that must be returned, but ever since Argentina's defeat in the Falklands war of 1982, no Argentine government has been serious about going to war with Britain over the issue. Between 1871-1914 was a period of 43 years-it is really possible for the French to be obsessed with taking back Alsace-Lorraine with no war breaking out for that length of time? The outcome of the war of 1870-71 which did not end until January 1871, but with the French effectively crushed by September 1870 by the German victories in the battles of Sedan and Metz established that French simply did not have the power to defeat the Reich on their own. Likewise, there is almost nothing about German policy towards France, which gives one the impression that almost all the problems in Franco-German relations were caused by the French. It was Germany that initiated the First Moroccan Crisis in 1905, not France, and the reasons was not because of German concerns about French influence in Morocco, but to break the Entente Cordiale by showing the French that the British would never defend them, and thus forcing Paris to join a German-dominated "continental bloc" supposedly to combat the "Yellow Peril" as the alleged Asian threat to Europe was known at the time, but in reality to challenge Britain's status as the world's number one power. From 1897 onwards, the Reich was committed to a policy of Weltpolitik where Germany sought to become the world's dominant power. It is not anti-German propaganda from World War I-the Emperor Wilhelm II and company really did want Germany to have the sort of position that the United States enjoys today, namely the world's number one power. Weltpolitik was really more anti-British than French, but the policy did mean that either France would have to accept a subordinate position to Germany (like the one envisioned in the anti-Asian "continental bloc" around 1904-06) or either if the French would not submit, France would have to be destroyed as a great power.

The section on Versailles needs a major re-write. I know in folk memory the general idea is that Versailles was an unbearably harsh "Carthaginian peace", but that is really wrong, and most historians today even in Germany do not accept that. The contrast often drawn between the "Carthaginian Peace" of 1919 that caused World War II vs. the alleged magnanimous peace of 1945 that ensured peace in Europe is extraordinary stupid. For those who are cartographically-challenged, just look at the frontiers created by Versailles and those imposed in 1945-you will see that Germany lost far more territory after World War II than after World War I, which does beg the question why the peace of 1945 is often presented as "magnanimous" in contrast to Versailles. Furthermore, under Versailles, Germans living in Eastern Europe had in theory had their rights protected by Minority Treaties which Versailles had mandated (which to be fair were usually more ignored in practice), but in starting in 1945, all of the German minorities in Eastern Europe were quite brutally expelled from their homes. Which was the more harsher peace settlement? The article is quite correct that the French wanted to annex the Rhineland in 1919, but were prevented by the British and the Americans from so doing, but it does not draw the correct conclusion from this, namely the thesis that Versailles was intolerably harsh peace treaty what was supposedly the brain-child of Clemenceau is totally wrong. The same goes with the 1920s, where certainly gets the idea that the French were causing all of the problems in Franco-German relations; one does not get any idea of what Germany's policy was towards France. Likewise, reading this article, one gets no idea of what were Hitler's policies towards France either before or after 1940. There was a major division within the German state after June 1940 about what to do with France; treat it as an ally to be used against Britain or dismember it once and for all? As was his wont, Hitler wavered and could never quite make up mind. Emotionally, Hitler's sympathies were no doubt with those like Himmler who wanted to destroy France once and all as a power, but on the other hand, there were those like Ribbentrop and Admiral Raeder who pointed out that there were major benefits to the Reich in using the French as allies against the British. Hitler typically was divided between his pragmatic side (yes, Hitler did have a pragmatic side-witness his alliances with the Japanese, despite his often proclaimed belief in white supremacy and even for a time with the Soviet Union in 1939-41) and his ideological side, which goes a long way to explain the incoherence of German policy in occupied France in 1940-44 period. Finally, the section on the 1930s reflects the influence of the pernicious la décadence thesis, namely the theory that in the 1930s the French had become "decadent", leading to a process of physical and moral degeneration which left the French nation simply too wimpy and worn-out to withstand Hitler's blitzkrieg in 1940. The la décadence thesis is a very popular theory in the English-speaking world for France's defeat in 1940, indeed it is undoubtedly the most popular explanation, but it is also dead-wrong. It is true that Germany's far larger economy and population together with the fact that the French had in many ways won a Pyrrhic victory in 1918 did indeed give the Reich a far stronger position to win the "world power status" it sought in the First World War, but that does not explain everything that happened in the 1930s. There is nothing here about the arms race between France and Germany in the 1930s, which so influenced decision-makers on both sides of the Rhine. To use one example, there were major problems with productivity in the French aircraft industry, which meant that for every one French fighter built, Germany produced three, which was one of the major reasons why France did not war with Germany in 1938 when the Germany threatened to invade Czechoslovakia (Paris had a signed a treaty of alliance with Prague in 1924, so legally France would had to go to war if the Reich invaded Czechoslovakia). To counterbalance the superior productivity of the German aircraft, the French starting in late 1938 went on a major plane-building spree in the United States, which was one of the reasons why Daladier was more willing to run the risk of a war if Germany attacked Poland (another member of the French alliance system in Eastern Europe) in 1939. There is a teleological quality to this section-the French lost in 1940 so everything had happened in the 1930s was nothing but a long countdown to defeat in 1940. The French were defeated, so that proves that they must have been defeatist. Presumably the fact that Germany was defeated in 1945 must "prove" that the Germans were defeatist all though the 1930s. To make this sort of argument about French history rests upon a very selective use of evidence. To use an example, the 1939 film La Règle du jeu which deals with romantic and sexual intrigues amongst the French grande bourgeoisie  circa 1939 is sometimes presented as evidence of the moral rot of French society in the 1930s, of an utterly amoral people devoid of values and whose only interest is in sexual pleasure, which "explains" why the French lost in 1940. But La Règle du jeu was a box-office failure in 1939. Jean Renoir who wrote and directed La Règle du jeu was a leftist who deeply dislike the haute bourgeoisie as leftists tended to do, but there is no evidence that Renoir meant his film to be a warning about the coming destruction of France was often claimed today. Today La Règle du jeu is considered to be one of French cinema's great triumphs, but at the time, the film was critically salvaged and ignored by the public. The most popular French film of 1939 was Trois de St Cyr, a resolutely patriotic adventure film dealing with the military and sexual exploits of three St. Cyr cadets who become best friends and then go off to crush a rebellion in Syria while finding the time to romance various mademoiselles. Trois de St Cyr with its message that France is the best nation in the world does not suggest a society on the verge of collapse, which is presumably why historians enamored of the la décadence thesis simply ignore Trois de St Cyr while talking all the time about La Règle du jeu. If the RAF had been defeated in the Battle of Britain, one would doubtless see British society in the 1930s as being portrayed as being in a long, irresistible state of decay and the British defeat as due to the moral rot of the British nation. To a certain extent, there is a similar quality to some of the historical writings on Britain in the 1930s, but Britain was not defeated in the war, so it is not quite as pronounced. This moralistic, judgemental type of history-writing that claims that French went soft because of the alleged hedonist French lifestyle with too much alcohol, too sex and too much partying and become to use a memorable phrase from The Simpsons a nation of "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" who got what they had coming to them in 1940 really tells you more about the people who write this sort of stuff than it does about French history. If anything, it was the alleged "hard" Germans who were really got sex-obsessed in the 1930s. If you were a German Gymnasium or Realschule student under the Third Reich, the message was relentlessly promoted by the teachers and by the Hitler Youth leaders that if you were an Aryan male, you had the duty to father as many children as possible and if you were an Aryan female, you had the duty to bear as many children as possible. The 1990 film Europa Europa, which tells the true story of Solomon Perel, a German Jewish teenager who passed himself off as an Aryan and spent much of World War II living at an elite training school for the Hitler Youth. Much of the film concerns Perel's relationship with the ardent Nazi Leni Latsch, a beautiful blonde and a proud member of the League of German Maidens (the female equivalent of the Hitler Youth) who is convinced that it is her duty as a member of the Volksgemeinschaft (People's Community) to bear as many children as possible for the Fatherland, and has decided that Perel is the perfect Aryan father. So in pursuit of this goal, Latsch keeps on trying to seduce Perel, who does not dare go to bed with her out of the fear that if she sees he is circumcised that she will realize he is a Jew and inform the authorities. The film plays the Latsch-Perel relationship for both for laughs and pathos (Perel has very mixed feelings about Latsch, whom he loves while being disgusted by her wild anti-Semitism) but this story is true, and it does reflect the real social conditions in the Third Reich. It does make one wonder why state-promoted sexual promiscuity in Nazi Germany is presented by some historians as a sign of how the Germans were a hard people in World War II while the French defeat of 1940 is attributed to the French going soft as due to too much sexual promiscuity.

It seems very odd that many people even today cannot accept the thesis that the French lost in 1940 because of inept generals instead of some sort of flawed society. Beyond that, I would suggest expanding this article beyond the field of diplomatic and military history (which is my specialty), and adding a bit of cultural history. What did the French think about the Germans, and what did the Germans think of the French in this period? The article on Franco-German enmity really should be re-written to make a cultural history page, to explain the idea that Frenchmen and Germans had an innate pathological hatred of one another, a thesis popular on both sides of the Rhine in the first years of the 20th century. I do not mean to sound like a Freudian here, but might also add in about Franco-German relations were and are so often depicted in sexual terms with Germany as stronger, dominant male and France as the weaker, submissive female. I know Marianne is the symbol of France and Deutscher Michel is the symbol of Germany, but that has got to be more to this than that. I might re-write this section sometime this fall, time permitting. --A.S. Brown (talk) 22:58, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Horrific part about political alliances
Iam gonna completly remove the part about political alliances. Sorry, but that part is just non-sensical, especially regarding the fact that EU-internal cooperation makes up like two paragraphs. The unification of both countries was never anything close to a thing, while the pushing for a common europa under the EU is actually very much a thing.

Its like having a part about "US-Canada political alliances" in which we talk about the very few people who actually wanted the two countries to unite, but dont waste a word on the NATO or Nafta. --Aradir (talk) 14:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

More info on 1923 French occupation of German Rhine and Ruhr
This old Time Magazine article has some interesting information about the French occupation of Rhine and Ruhr: French Policy. It appears after the French occupied Germany in 1923, Germans responded with sabotage. The French retaliated by fining entire villages and all individuals.

Nero Digital

Nero Digital is a brand name applied to a suite of MPEG-4-compatible video and audio compression codecs developed by Nero AG of Germany and Ateme of France. The audio codecs are integrated into the Nero Digital Audio+ audio encoding tool for Microsoft Windows, and the audio & video codecs are integrated into Nero's Recode DVD ripping software.

Nero certifies certain DVD player/recorder devices as Nero Digital compatible, and licenses the codec technology to integrated circuit manufacturers.

The video codecs were developed by Ateme, and according to an interview with Nero AG developer Ivan Dimkovic, the audio codecs are improved versions of Dimkovic's older PsyTEL AAC Encoder. The audio codec is now available as a free stand-alone package called Nero AAC Codec.

Functionality
Nero Digital can generate streams in the 3GP/MPEG-4 Part 14 (".mp4") container format and includes two video and two audio codecs:
 * ASP (one of about 20 profiles defined in MPEG-4 Part 2)
 * AVC (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or H.264)
 * AAC-LC (the most widely used AAC profile defined in MPEG-4 Part 3)
 * HE-AAC (defined in MPEG-4 Part 3, sometimes referenced as "aacPlus" or other, similar trademarks)

The codecs are compliant with the ISO/IEC standard, with the exception of subtitles and chapter information. The video streams generated by Nero Digital can be played back on some stand-alone hardware players and software media players such as the company's own Nero Showtime.

Recode cannot rip encrypted DVD movie discs, but is able to import decrypted DVD images for encoding. Nero Digital also does not ship its codecs as stand-alone DirectShow or VfW modules, preventing them from being used for general-purpose video editing. The product is not bundled with a video editor.

Comparisons with other video codecs (2003-2005)
The Nero Digital video codecs have been featured in video compression comparisons:
 * In the 2003 Doom9 codec comparison, the ASP codec was the fastest of all the codecs, but fared relatively poorly in quality.
 * The Nero Digital AVC codec was pronounced the winner of the 2004 Doom9 codec comparison. ND ASP did not compete.
 * In the 2005 Doom9 codec comparison, the ASP codec was still the fastest and fared better than previously in quality, but not well enough to make it to the finals. The AVC codec came in second overall.
 * In May 2005, it won the C't magazine video codec quality comparison, competing against other AVC codecs such as x264, VideoSoft's codec, the MainConcept codec and the Sorenson codec.
 * Nero Digital AVC also won an informal 2005 'Movie Metric Benchmark challenge,' with up to a 1dB quality gain over DivX at the same bitrate.

Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux

Antoine Raymond Joseph de Bruni, chevalier d'Entrecasteaux (8 November 1737 – 21 July 1793) was a French naval officer, explorer and colonial governor. He is perhaps best known for his exploration of the Australian coast in 1792, while searching for the La Pérouse expedition. Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux is commonly referred to simply as Bruni d'Entrecasteaux or Bruny d'Entrecasteaux, each of which is a compound surname (derived from his father's surname, Bruni or Bruny, and the family's origins in Entrecasteaux).

Early career
Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was born to Dorothée de Lestang-Parade and Jean Baptiste Bruny, at Aix-en-Provence in 1739. His father was a member of the Parlement of Provence. Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was educated at a Jesuit school and reportedly intended to become a priest in the Society of Jesus, but his father intervened and enlisted him in the French Navy in 1754. In the action that secured the Balearic Islands for Spain (and resulted in the execution of Admiral Byng), Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was a midshipman aboard the 26-gun Minerve, and in April 1757 he was commissioned as an ensign. His further naval career as a junior officer was uneventful, and he appears in this period to have done general service in the French Navy.

For a time Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was Assistant Director of ports and arsenals, after which (1785) he was transferred to command a French Squadron in the East Indies, comprising Résolution and Subtile. During this service he opened up a new route to Canton by way of the Sunda Strait and the Moluccas, for use during the south-east monsoon season. In 1787 he was appointed Governor of the French colony of Isle de France (now Mauritius) and the Isle of Bourbon.

His explorations
In September 1791, the French Assembly decided to send an expedition in search of Jean-François de La Pérouse, who had not been heard of since leaving Botany Bay in March 1788. Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was selected to command this expedition. He was given a frigate, FRENCH SHIP Recherche (500 tons), with Lieutenant Jean-Louis d'Hesmity-d'Auribeau as his second-in-command and Élisabeth Rossel among the other officers. A similar ship, FRENCH SHIP Espérance, was placed under Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec, with de Trobriand as his second-in-command. A distinguished hydrographical engineer, Beautemps-Beaupré, served as the hydrographer of the expedition. When the expedition left Brest on 28 September 1791, Entrecasteaux was promoted to the rank of rear-admiral. The plan of the voyage was to proceed to New Holland (Australia), to sight Cape Leeuwin at its southwest extremity, then to hug the shore closely all the way to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), inspecting every possible harbour in a rowing boat, and then to sail for Tonga (aka "the Friendly Islands") via the northern cape of New Zealand allowing gardener Félix Delahaye to collect live breadfruit plants for transport to the French West Indies. D'Entrecasteaux was next to follow La Pérouse's intended route in the Pacific. It was thought that La Pérouse had meant to explore New Caledonia and the Louisiade Archipelago, to pass through Torres Strait, and to explore the Gulf of Carpentaria and the northern coast of New Holland.

However, when Bruni d'Entrecasteaux reached Table Bay, Cape Town on 17 January 1792, he heard a report that Captain John Hunter (later to be Governor of New South Wales) had recently seen – off the Admiralty Islands – canoes manned by indigenous people wearing French uniforms and belts. Although Hunter denied this report, and although the Frenchmen heard of the denial, Bruni d'Entrecasteaux determined to make directly to the Admiralty Islands, nowadays part of Papua New Guinea, taking water and refreshing his crew at Van Diemen's Land. On 20 April 1792, that land was in sight, and three days later the ships anchored in a harbour, which he named Recherche Bay. For the next five weeks, until 28 May 1792, the Frenchmen carried out careful boat explorations which revealed in detail the beautiful waterways and estuaries in the area.

Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was fortunate in having good officers and scientists, most importantly from the exploration point-of-view the expedition's first hydrographical engineer, C.F Beautemps-Beaupré, who is now regarded as the father of modern French hydrography. The work this officer did in the field was excellent, and his charts, when published in France as an Atlas du Voyage de Bruny-Dentrecasteaux (1807) were very detailed. The atlas contains 39 charts, of which those of Van Diemen's Land were the most detailed; they remained the source of the English charts of the area for many years.

Beautemps-Beaupré, while surveying the coasts with Lieutenant Crétin, discovered that Adventure Bay, Tasmania, which had been discovered by Tobias Furneaux and named after his ship in 1773, was on an island which was separated from the mainland by a fine navigable channel. On 16 May, d'Entrecasteaux commenced to sail the ships through the channel, and this was accomplished by the 28th. Port Esperance, the Huon River, and other features were discovered, named, and charted, the admiral's names being given to the channel (D'Entrecasteaux Channel) and the large island (Bruny Island) separated by it from the mainland.

On 28 May 1792 the ships sailed into the Pacific to search for La Pérouse. On 17 June they arrived off the Isle of Pines, south of New Caledonia. From there, d'Entrecasteaux sailed northward along the western coast of New Caledonia. (The Bruni d'Entrecasteaux reefs at the northwestern end of the New Caledonia Barrier Reef are named for him.) He then passed the Solomon Islands along their southern or western coasts, sailed through Saint George's Channel between New Ireland and New Britain, and on 28 July sighted the south-east coast of the Admiralty Islands. After three days spent in scrutinizing the eastern and northern coastline, Bruni d'Entrecasteaux decided that the rumours he had heard in Table Bay must be false, and he therefore set sail for Ambon, in modern-day Indonesia, where his ships replenished their stores.

Leaving Amboina on 14 October, Bruni d'Entrecasteaux made for Cape Leeuwin, the south-western extremity of Australia, to carry out his original instructions of searching southern New Holland for La Pérouse. On 6 December land was sighted near Cape Leeuwin, and named D'Entrecasteaux Point. This event was celebrated by feastings and parties, one result of which was that the smith on board Recherche, Jean-Marie Marhadour over-indulged and died next day from an apoplectic fit. The weather proved boisterous, and the ships failed to find King George Sound, originally discovered by Vancouver. As they sailed further east, they penetrated numerous islands and dangerous shoals, to which they gave the name D'Entrecasteaux Islands – later changed to the Recherche Archipelago.

While the Frenchmen were still in that dangerous area, on 12 December a violent storm descended upon them, and both ships were nearly wrecked. Fortunately, however, they found an anchorage where they were able to ride out the worst of the gale. Landings took place here on the mainland, and the locality was named in honour of Legrand, who had spotted the anchorage, and of the ship he was on, Espérance. Beautemps-Beaupré made a hasty survey of the off-lying islands of the archipelago. No water was found, and on 18 December the ships continued eastward to the head of the Great Australian Bight, but here the coast was found to be even more arid, and the water position more serious.

On 4 January 1793, Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was forced to leave the coast at a position near Bruni d'Entrecasteaux Reef and sail direct to Van Diemen's Land. In this decision the French explorer was unfortunate, for if he had continued his examination of the southern coast of New Holland, he would have made all the geographical discoveries that fell to the lot of Bass and Flinders a few years later. Then, indeed, a French "Terre Napoléon" might well have become a fact.

The ships anchored in Recherche Bay on 22 January, and the expedition spent a period of five weeks in that area, watering the ships, refreshing the crews, and carrying out explorations into both natural history and geography. Beautemps-Beaupré, in company with other officers, surveyed the northern extensions to Storm Bay – the western extension was found to be a mouth of a river which received the name Rivière du Nord – it was renamed the Derwent River a few months later by the next visitor to this area, Captain John Hayes in Duke of Clarence and Duchess.

It was probably no coincidence that the d'Entrecasteaux expedition should have spent time investigating that part of Van Diemen's Land, as that region had been recommended for colonization by Henri Peyroux de la Coudrenière in his c.1784–85 "Mémoire sur les avantages qui résulteraient d'une colonie puissante à la terre de Diémen". Although Peyroux’s proposal fell on deaf ears at the time, it may have influenced d'Entrecasteaux's choice of the location to investigate. An inset map of Frederick Henry Bay, the place recommended by Peyroux for a settlement, was included in the map of Van Diemens Land prepared by C. F. Beautemps-Beaupré, the hydrographer with the d'Entrecasteaux expedition.

On 28 February d'Entrecasteaux sailed from Van Diemen's Land towards Tonga, sighting New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands en route. At Tonga, he found that the local people remembered Cook and Bligh well enough, but knew nothing of La Pérouse. He then sailed back to New Caledonia, where he anchored at Balade. The vain search for La Pérouse then resumed with Santa Cruz, then along the southern coasts of the Solomon Islands, the northern parts of the Louisiade Archipelago, through the Dampier Strait, along the northern coast of New Britain and the southern coast of the Admiralty Islands, and thence north of New Guinea to the Moluccas.

By this time, the affairs of the expedition had become almost desperate, largely because the officers were ardent royalists and the crews equally ardent revolutionaries. Kermadec had died of tuberculosis in Balade harbour, and on 21 July 1793, d'Entrecasteaux himself died of scurvy, off the Hermit Islands, part of the Bismarck Archipelago in Papua New Guinea.

Commands were re-arranged, with Auribeau taking charge of the expedition, with Rossel in Kermadec's place. The new chief took the ships to Surabaya in east Java. Here it was learned that a republic had been proclaimed in France, and on 18 February 1794 Auribeau handed his vessels to the Dutch authorities so that the new French Government could not profit by them. Auribeau died a month later and Rossel sailed from Java in January 1795 on board a Dutch ship, arriving at Table Bay in April 1795. There his ship sailed unexpectedly with the expedition's papers, leaving him behind, but this vessel was captured by the British. Rossel then took passage on a brig-of-war, but this too was captured by the British. After the Peace of Amiens in 1802, all the papers of the expedition were returned to Rossel, who was thus enabled to publish a narrative of the whole enterprise.

His Explorations
I've just been smoothing out the grammar & style of the article, and I've hit a slight snag. In "His Explorations" reference is made to a "fine navigable channel"; is this meant to refer to a channel that is fine (narrow) but navigable, or to a channel that is finely navigable (navigable with difficulty), or (colloqially) to a good and navigable channel?

Name
Is his name Bruny d'Entrecasteaux on the French Wikipedia his article is under Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux. Which is it? (unsigned)

Read the article? SatuSuro 04:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

The article still needs further clarification on this point. It highlights that there is an issue, but doesn't explicitly distinguish what the two sides are. In fact it leaves the impression as if someone may have changed the title without correspondingly updating the lead (i.e., it says something about a different surname but both listed surnames look identical). Cesiumfrog (talk) 13:12, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

 * It isn't merely the bruni/bruny thing is it? Just inject "(or Bruny)" into the bold text in the lead and don't waste a paragraph making it sound more complex if that's all it is. Hardly anything unusual for there to be such minor ambiguity in the proper spelling of a historical figure's name. Cesiumfrog (talk) 13:17, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Vital dates
The French article has 8 November 1737 and 20 July 1793. The German, Spanish and Swedish articles agree.

We're saying the dates are 1739 (year only) and 21 July 1793. The Portuguese, Indonesian and Russian articles agree with us.

Is the truth in there somewhere? --  Jack of Oz    ... speak! ...   03:56, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Move ("compound surname")
The normal naming style for biographical articles is to include the first name, which in this case is Antoine. Whereas Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, or "Bruni of Entrecasteaux" (his hometown in Provence) is effectively a somewhat unusual "compound surname", i.e. a surname made up of two or more words, with or without a hyphen (see, for example, his entry in the ADB: "Bruny D'Entrecasteaux, Joseph-Antoine Raymond (1739–1793)". (Note that his surname differs from that of his father, which was simply Bruni.) He was normally known as "Bruni d'Entrecasteaux" because European men of his era were often known by their surnames (just as James Cook was often referred to as "Cook" by his superiors in the Royal Navy and British government).

While compound surnames without hyphens are uncommon in English speaking countries, they are not unknown e.g. "Arthur Conan Doyle, "Marian Montagu Douglas Scott". Grant  |  Talk  03:59, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
