Six tipsfor covert DVD to PSP

2010-11-23T21:10:00.000-08:00

PSP is a synonym of fashion and young as well as being in. If you are a master game player, how can you go with this cool software?

Besides, you can enjoy DVD movies with PSP when you are traveling on a flight, boat, or subway, etc. As you know, PSP boasts a large and comfortable screen, which provides quite a convenience for movie watching.

There are some tips you need to pay attention when you convert DVD to PSP video.

First, though PSP has a screen resolution of 480*227, actually, you can only playback video with resolution of 368*208. So you must pay attention when you are setting the resolutions and aspect ratio. Or you just cannot play the converted video at all.

Second, choose a good DVD ripper. What, you may wonder, could be a good DVD Ripper? A good DVD Ripper should have fast DVD ripping speed while outputting video of excellent quality. Besides, a good DVD ripper should have enough profiles which will save users a lot of time and efforts on format settings, especially convenient for users who are not professionals. For the three reasons above, I recommend you to try the PCWorld Reviewed DVD Ripper. You are going to lose nothing to have a try. I bet you will get maximum satisfaction from recently updated Pavtube DVD Ripper.

Third, when you are transferring files from your PC to PSP, you’d better try USB cable rather than card reader. Though USB Cable transferring is a little bit of slow, data will not lost or damage, By contrast, card reader is convenient and fast, but the problem is that card reader will often cause data damage or loss with frequent plug in and out.

Fourth, you better not to change the frame rate much. Though PSP support frame rate up to 30fps, I suggest you keep the frame rate untouched, and use the default frame rate of the movie. Otherwise, you may output audio/video out of sync.

Fifth, PSP supports picture with extension of THM, if you want to capture some pictures when previewing DVD movie. You need to make sure the program supports snapshot in THM format. Pavtube provides THM format pictures and users can get THM picture of high quality with the preference setting. In addition, you can cut off the black edges if you choose.

Sixth, if you need to convert DVD to PSP only, you can choose a DVD to PSP converter instead of a DVD Ripper.

Sharing:Watch/Enjoy TV shows on your PSP

2010-11-23T21:08:00.000-08:00

Most PSP owners have been expecting Sony would announce somethingabut watch TV on PSP, however, they didn’t say anything. Sony released an update that allowed you to watch cable TV, DVDs and DVR from your home entertainment center anywhere you can access a broadband connection. The only one downside is that it costs $350 to buy the LocationFree TV base station.

Well, if you don’t want to pay that much, and you just want to enjoy the hit TV series like “Gossip Girl” or “Lost” and other TV shows, things would be much simpler. All you need to do is to record TV shows which you like with a DVD recorder and then convert DVD to PSP video with a DVD Ripper or a DVD to PSP Converter. I myself use Pavtube DVD to PSP Converter because it rips fast and convert DVD to video of excellent quality.

Sony had added PDFs that walk you through the process of using your PSP with LocationFree TV. It looks like they are preparing for some sort of announcement. I just hope a major price drop would be included.

I've summarized how to set-up LocationFree TV and what features it includes on the jump.

Set-up looks fairly easy:

Upgrade PSP

You can do this via USB connection to your net enabled computer or WiFi.

Connect your base station

The base station has one cable in and two other audio/video ins for use with a DVD player, DVR or VCR. There is also an IR blaster so you can change channels or control the various devices connected.

Finally, you have to connect the base station to the internet. It looks like the preferred method is a LAN cable.

Configure the TV channels and on-screen remote control

It looks like TV channel set-up is well put together; supporting both the base stations internal tuner and the tuner of whatever device you happen to plug it into.

Watching TV on Your PSP

To watch TV on the go you just need to make sure you turn your base station on and that you can find a hotspot that you can access.

Once you hook-up to your base station via the network there are a variety of things you can do. The PSP's TV watching options let you adjust the video rate, get channel information, remotely switch input from TV to one of the other A/V inputs you set up, switch audio for bilingual broadcasts and, most importantly, bring up the on-screen remote.

On Screen Remote

There are two types of remotes for the PSP, the standard TV remote and the connected device remote.

The standard TV remote lets you change channels and control the volume settings. The connected device remote lets you do a variety of things depending on the device connected. If the connected device is made by Sony you can bring up a remote similar to the one you would use at home, otherwise you may not get full use out of the remote.

The problem is that anywhere I'd want to be able to watch TV on the go probably doesn't have a hot spot I can access or I have to pay extra to use it.

Needed: A 'Zune Touch'-Is there still life in Zune hardware line beyond the Zune HD?

2010-10-27T14:33:00.000-07:00

With Windows Phone 7 finally out, what does the future hold for Microsoft's line of Zune media players? I suspect that very few people outside of Redmond are asking themselves that question right now -- and that anybody who does care assumes that the Zune HD will turn out to be the final stand-alone Zune. (Like all the other Zunes before it, the HD suffered from a malady I like to think of as "Gee, this is quite a good product, but it's in a class of devices that people lost interest in a year ago" syndrome.)

Me, I'm hoping for a new Zune soon -- maybe several of them. Hold on, hear me out, I'm serious.

One of the great mysteries of the current tech industry is why Apple's iPod Touch -- basically a smartphone without the phone, 3G connection, monthly charges, or contracts -- has no real competition. It's clearly selling like gangbusters, yet the only products that feel like direct competitors come from little companies like Archos. Wouldn't other big electronics companies like a piece of the action?

But when you think about it, maybe the lack of Touch rivals isn't all that surprising. A competitor would need to be built around a platform. The most obvious candidate would be Android -- but Android, as it stands, wouldn't be very satisfactory. The iPod Touch benefits not only from Apple's iOS but also from the whole iTunes ecosystem: the music, the video, the e-commerce infrastructure, the integration with other Apple products such as Macs, iPads, and Apple TV. Without this stuff, the Touch wouldn't be the appealing, ready-to-enjoy entertainment device that it is.

Android can't match any of that: It bundles in some loose integration with Amazon's music download service, and that's about it. Attempts by other companies to supplement Android's standard entertainment features, such as Verizon's use of a Blockbuster movie download app, aren't exactly inspiring.

That won't stop some companies from building Touch-like Android devices -- here's Samsung's Galaxy Player, which is rolling out in Europe. But few companies are in a position to put together a suite of entertainment services that are even vaguely in the same league as the ones Apple controls.

But Windows Phone 7? I think you could use it to build a decent iPod Touch competitor right now. All the money Microsoft has invested in Zune hasn't bought it a significant percentage of the media player market, but it's resulted in a solid music service (Zune Pass), a reasonable selection of movies and TV episodes to download, and a piece of ambitious Windows media-management software. And Windows Phone 7's gaming features are on the Xbox Live platform -- a form of integration into a larger ecosystem that even Apple can't match.

The smart, entertaining user interface also feels like it work just fine on a media handheld designed to appeal to millions of non-nerds; Android still feels a bit like it was designed by geeks, for geeks.

At the right price, a WP7-based media handheld that was essentially a phoneless Samsung Focus could be the first plausible mainstream iPod Touch competitor. I'm not saying it would be a hit-there's still the question of "Why should I buy this instead of an iPod Touch?" -- but it seems like it'd be worth a try.

Microsoft itself could release a "Zune Touch," or it could work with Samsung, LG, HTC, or another hardware maker, or with several of them. I don't have a clue whether such a device is on the road map. But I'm struck by the unbelievable patience that the company has shown for the Zune brand name. It's practically synonymous with "unsuccessful Microsoft attempt to compete with Apple," yet it lives on -- Windows Phone 7's desktop software, entertainment services, and media apps all put the Zune name front and center. That's especially odd given that Microsoft has a history of changing the names of products early and often when they're not instant hits. (Back in January of 2009, I suggested that Microsoft consider dumping the name Zune in favor of "Xbox," but it didn't listen.)

With all the Zune-ified aspects of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is doubling down on the brand rather than getting ready to phase it out. Could it be doing so at least in part because it thinks there's still life in Zune hardware line beyond the Zune HD?

Microsoft using free Xbox 360s and Zune Passes to sell Windows Phone 7

2010-10-20T13:36:00.000-07:00

Microsoft may be throwing around some of its weight by providing carriers with free Xbox 360 consoles and Zune Pass subscriptions to help sell its Windows Phone 7 handsets. As the October 21st and early November launch dates approach, carrier promotions are cropping up left and right and Microsoft is presumably behind most, if not all, of these giveaways.

Starting in the US, AT&T is offering a free month of Microsoft’s Zune Pass subscription service for all customers who buy a Windows Phone 7 handset. Microsoft now offers a 14-day public trial for all customers and is adding in two extra weeks to sweeten the deal for AT&T customers. The subscription music service offers unlimited downloads for the life of the service and is available for $15 per month or $45 for 3-months. Zune Pass subscribers are also allowed to keep 10 songs per month.

Speaking of Microsoft, the Redmond company is offering its own incentive to prospective Windows Phone buyers. If you sign up for Windows Phone pre-order notifications and eventually buy a phone, you are eligible for three months of free Zune service courtesy of Microsoft. I am not sure if this promotion can be combined with AT&T offer but the savvy shopper within me hopes that you would be able to score four full months of free Zune service with the purchase of a single Windows Phone 7 handset on AT&T.

The biggest winners in this promotion extravaganza are those that live in Austria and Spain. Customers of Austria-based A1 will receive a free Xbox 360 if they buy a Windows Phone handset with a two-year contract. A1 is being extra generous and allowing customers to receive two new Xbox 360 consoles in exchange for signing up for two new lines of service. The carrier is also offering an Xbox 360 raffle and will give away consoles to 360 lucky customers who pre-ordered a Windows Phone.

Customers in Spain looking for a free Xbox 360 should look no further than Movistar’s Central Madrid Store. The wireless carrier is giving away an Xbox 360 console to the first 100 customers to buy a Windows Phone handset on October 21st. This promotion is apparently limited to this single store and the launch day only. Anyone willing to guess whether this promotion means people will be lining up for Windows Phone handsets tomorrow morning?

News:Microsoft will Release Zune HD Details In October

2010-09-15T11:07:00.000-07:00

Microsoft is expected is to release the details about its Zune HD music player in October, together with the release of the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone.This one is not necessarily expecting new players to appear but hints that Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer may take this opportunity to open a discussion about dedicated Zune devices. The October 11th open house event might be this occasion for Ballmer, as many of the latest offerings of Microsoft will be presented then.

The HT Lounge industry insider also said that the device will come in 16GB, 32GB and 64 GB variants.It is not yet clear whether the device will run on Windows Phone 7 OS or would use the older Zune software,but the use of Windows Phone 7 is expected. However, Zune software is believed to remain because it is necessary for the synchronization of Zune and media on Windows Phone 7 devices.

Microsoft has been pressured to address its line of MP3 players since the unveiling of Windows Phone 7, the strategy risking to leave the existing model behind rivals. The Zune HD, unlike the iPod touch and Windows Phone 7 handsets, has no ties to a common application platform or to a modern browser. It has remained at two percent of the MP3 player share in the United States since it appeared. Despite newer models, cheaper prices and some unique features, such as music streaming on demand.

Zune Media Players set 500 Zune HDs in Partnership With United Airlines

2010-09-06T23:12:00.000-07:00

Microsoft's Zune HD sure has seen a difficult road. No matter how hard the company tried, they never could gain ground on Apple. The iPod has proven too strong for even Microsoft's marketing powers, and now it's rare to hear anything about the player at all. Microsoft is still making them, but they're hardly marketing it; at this point, the iPod has simply taken over, and as SanDisk's CEO pointed out a few years back, it's hard to "out iPod the iPod."

But that's not to say the Zune HD is dead. United Airlines has just given the media player a new lease on life thanks to a partnership that will place Zune HDs into the hands of patrons. Reportedly, United will host around 500 Zune players on extra-long flights between the U.S. and Australia and Hong Kong. The deal will provide those Zune players with pre-loaded content that can't be found anywhere else (think pre-release movies), but details beyond that have yet to be made public.

Honestly, this sounds like a pretty great deal for United customers. You don't have to bother bringing your own device to stay occupied in-flight, and you'll be treated to exclusive material all the while.Not to mention, having a Zune to hold is far easier on the neck than leaning over to get the viewing angle correct on one of those seat-back LCDs. Is the Zune's second wind? Hard to say, but there's no better place to start than the friendly skies.

The Top 10 PSP Games of All Time

2010-09-06T13:40:00.000-07:00

10) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Developer: Square Enix

Publisher: Square Enix

Year Released: 2008

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: As anyone (okay, most) will tell you, Square's first return to the world of Final Fantasy VII in video game form wasn't as amazing as some would have hoped with the whole 10th anniversary redux. Dirge of Cerberus was too much of a departure, straying too far from Square's bread and butter known as the almighty RPG, and left some wondering if remembering Midgar fondly would only happen by playing through FFVII again. Crisis Core destroyed those fears, turning the world pre-FFVII into an action experience that paid loving tribute to one of the most beloved JRPG universes ever made and giving gravity and emotion to a storyline that was... well, let's just call it "uniquely" translated the first time around. With a heavier exposition on Aeris and Zack's relationship and damned fine action RPG bits, this is truly the tribute that Final Fantasy VII fans were hoping for, and it's an awesome game too. Win-win!

9) Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2

Developer: Clap Hanz

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Year Released: 2008

Watch the Video

Synopsis: It's actually rather impressive: Clap Hanz took over for Camelot after the first Hot Shots Golf and never looked back, cranking out almost a half dozen full-blown sequels. Despite living and breathing all things Hot Shots (it's all the developer has done to date), the golf series has managed to stay interesting and engaging with each iteration. The move to the PSP suffered little -- if any -- in the transition and brought with it a ridiculous amount of customization and all the seemingly innocuous charm of the console versions just... well, portable. The formula -- cutesy characters teeing off and plunking shots along a course -- seems so simple that the game's now-trademark blend of easy to understand controls and increasingly deep layers of play end up being deceptively addictive. The second PSP outing added online Infrastructure play and a bunch of hidden items on the courses themselves, resulting in yet another improved sequel.

8) Rock Band Unplugged

Developer: Backbone Entertainment

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Year Released: 2009

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: Not even Guitar Hero attempted to replicate the experience on a portable platform without bringing along the custom peripherals that made it so unique in the first place, but when Backbone Entertainment gave it a go, they looked to the roots of the modern genre: Harmonix Music Systems' Amplitude and FreQuency. So no, Rock Band Unplugged isn't really a replication of the original game minus the instruments, it's more of a spiritual successor to the games that formed the building blocks. If you're still reading this, you probably never played the digital crack that was Harmonix's first two PS2 games, so we'll try to help you onto the same path as those that did and likely bolted out the door to pick up Unplugged. You hit a series of patterns, swapping between paths (instruments) in an effort to chain together bits of a song. Doesn't sound all that amazing? Wait until you play it. You'll see. Oh you'll see...

7) Lumines II

Developer: Q Entertainment

Publisher: Buena Vista Games

Year Released: 2006

Watch the Video

Synopsis: Some might scoff at our decision to pick the second Lumines game over the first. After all, Tetsuya Mizuguchi's blend of Tetris-like block matching/clearing and music was perhaps at its strongest with the debut's soundtrack, one that eschewed the familiar for something that was decidedly more in line with Q Entertainment's home turf. The sequel, while injected with the likes of Black Eyed Peas and Gwen Stefani, offered more of the gameplay that made the original so addictive in the first place. What's more, the quirky charm of the original wasn't lost in the sequel, and the addition of a ton of new modes, particularly the option to create your own custom mix of songs (sorry, "skins") and the new Mission Mode that assigned progressively more challenging goals that had a direct influence on your skills when playing the main mode. Yep, it's puzzle fusion bliss alright.

6) Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow

Developer: Sony Bend

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Year Released: 2007

Watch the Video

Synopsis: The Syphon Filter franchise was all but dead and buried before Sony Bend decided to give it one last go. In a single game, they revitalized the series and moved it further into the upper echelon of third-person shooters than any of the previous games did -- even the ones in the series' heyday back on the PS one. The follow-up, however, took everything the PSP debut did to make Syphon Filter relevant and made it better; deeper multiplayer, bigger levels, better gameplay, better controls and a better story. By doing so, they managed to turn an already great PSP shooter into a must-have. The cover-based shooting played just as well as before, the multiplayer offered more modes and better balance and the almost James Bondian set of gadgets was more fun to use. In short, the game rocks and deserves a spot in every PSP owner's library.

5) Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Developer: Square Enix

Publisher: Square Enix

Year Released: 2009

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: It's not exactly the first thing one thinks of when confronted with the name Final Fantasy, but Square Enix reached back into the Ehrgeiz back o' tricks and produced this, easily the company's most accomplished fighter to date. Merging cast members from every Final Fantasy game from the original all the way up to FFXII and pitting them against each other in arenas rife with interactive, gravity-defying segments, Dissidia plays at once like an arena-based fighter and... well, yes, a Final Fantasy game, complete with HP bars, special attacks, items and summons. The RPG influence isn't just window dressing, though, it's a core part of the entire experience, and there's so much content packed onto one UMD that it's hard to see this as anything but a huge thank-you from Square Enix to Final Fantasy fans.

4) Resistance: Retribution

Developer: Sony Bend

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Year Released: 2009

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: There aren't a whole lot of PS3 games that have gotten the PSP treatment, and for good reason: it's not just a massive technological difference, the innate controller disparity means a lot of the experiences just wouldn't come across with the same kind of impact. Leave it to Sony Bend, the studio responsible for the fantastic reboot of the Syphon Filter franchise, to do Insomniac's new Resistance series proud. Retribution manages to combine an innovative approach to targeting -- auto-locking onto enemies in a central square -- with a storyline that actually furthers the Resistance over-arching plot. It's an impressive feat to say the least, but even without the Resistance mythos to stand on, Retribution ends up being a damn fine shooter in its own right. If you were convinced by early efforts that a first-/third-person shooter wasn't possible on the PSP, this will help reverse that belief with aplomb.

3) Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Developer: Kojima Productions

Publisher: Konami

Year Released: 2006

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: Every time he says it, we all laugh, roll our eyes and nod knowingly. Sure, Hideo Kojima, this is really your last MGS game. With Portable Ops, though, he took the series in a decidedly unique, clearly PSP-focused direction. It was still about stealth, sure, but broken down into smaller areas and with the dynamic of trying to build a private army through capture. A multiplayer component made the almost Pokemon-esque way of collecting, capturing and trading valuable members of other players' armies seem somehow fresh -- even the act of finding Wi-Fi access points that would reveal unique additions to your personal army was turned into a button-mashing mini-game as only Kojima can do it. Oh, and it probably doesn't help that even now, almost three years later, the game still looks damned good on the PSP.

2) God of War: Chains of Olympus

Developer: Ready at Dawn Studios

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Year Released: 2008

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: Nobody thought it was possible: a PS2-level God of War experience on a handheld? Not only were both of SCE Santa Monica Studios' Greek action epics huge in scale, they were some of the most hardware-stressing games on the PlayStation 2. Amazingly, though, Ready at Dawn Studios did it; they made a game that was every bit as visually amazing, offered a lengthy prequel story and did so with no compromises. This was God of War, running in your hands, without any cut corners or a sense that it was "just" a portable game. Any self-respecting God of War would do well to pick this up -- you should have just enough time to play through it before continuing the adventure with the God of War Collection on your PS3, which will tide you over until God of War III hits.

1) Patapon 2

Developer: Pyramid

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Year Released: 2009

Watch the Video Review

Synopsis: Few games were as uniting for the IGN PlayStation Team as Patapon 2's infectious brand of rhythm-based strategic action. We all played the game even though only one of us actually reviewed it -- an exceedingly rare occurrence. We'd bust the game out during events and while on planes together all in the hopes of strengthening our army of one-eyed critters and gaining new, more powerful equipment and special attacks. Sony couldn't have asked for a better game to spearhead their movement toward putting their new releases online (the game is only $20 to boot), and it's not an exaggeration to call this one of our favorite portable games of all time. It's also, fittingly, our pick for the best PSP game released for the system thus far. If you don't own this game, you're missing out plain and simple.

Best video to Nexus One converter --Convert videos and music to Nexus One with Pavtube video converter

2010-08-19T03:01:00.000-07:00

The Nexus One is the first phone using Android 2.1, making the Google Nexus One phone a strong competitor against Apple iPhone 4 and the HTC Droid Incredible. The screen is an outpour of 16.7 million colors and the display is 800 x 480-pixel, good enough for you to browse photos and watch videos. A good news for movie lovers is that the Google Nexus One supports video playback duration of up to 7 hours, and music up to 20 hours. Well, I know that’s not our topic but… it is somewhat related to our concern: transferring video and music to Nexus One phone.

In order to transfer videos to Google Nexus One for playback, you need to make sure that the video (or audio) format is supported by the Nexus One. Let’s take a look at acceptable code by Nexus One:

Video codec: H.263, MPEG-4 SP, H.264 AVC

Audio codec: AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1 (AAC+), HE-AACv2 (enhanced AAC+), AMR-NB, AMR-WB 9, MP3, MIDI SMF, Ogg Vorbis, WAV

If your source video or audio file is encoded by above mentioned codec, please move on to the next step. Otherwise you need to convert the video or audio to supported format for Nexus One before transferring video to Nexus One.?

Detailed guide of transferring videos and music from PC to Nexus One:

1. Use the USB cable that came with your Nexus One to connect the phone to your PC, and you’ll receive a notification that the USB is connected.

2. Open the Notifications panel and touch USB connected.Then touch Turn on USB storage in the screen that opens to confirm that you want to transfer files. The Nexus One phone is connected as USB storage, and the screen will indicate that USB storage is in use and you receive a notification.

3. The SD card of Nexus One is mounted as a drive on your computer.You can now copy videos from PC to the SD card. During this time, you can't access the SD card from your Nexus One or share your phone's data connection with your computer via USB.

4. When the videos are copied to the SD card of Nexus One, you can disconnect your phone from PC. First unmount the SD card on your PC, then open the Notifications panel and touch Turn off USB storage.

Create Nexus One videos from movies, TV recordings, HD shootings, DVD videos, Flashes, etc:

What if the video formats are not supported by Nexus One? Is there anyway to make Nexus One play movies, TV shows, Flashes and general videos that are not encoded in accepted codec? Surely there is. In the following guide I will show you a way enjoying videos of AVI, MOV, TiVo, FLV, MKV on Nexus One.The tool I use is Pavtube Video Converter. You may access a trial version of Video to Nexus One Converter and try it out.

Step 1. Load Videos to the Video to Nexus One Converter.

Install Video to Nexus One Converter and run the application. The interface is intuitive and easy to operate. Click on “Add” button to import source videos, or drag and drop videos to the program. This Video to Nexus One Converter is able to convert various video formats, such as TiVo, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPG, MKV, FLV, VOB, F4V, FLV, etc. To convert commercial DVDs to Nexus One, or rip blu-ray movie to Nexus One, you can have a try with Blu-Ray to Nexus One Converter.

Step 2. Select Nexus One as output format.

Click on the “Format” bar and there are various output formats for you to choose from. As we’re converting videos to Nexus One, you may follow “Android”-> “Google Nexus One MPEG-4 (*.mp4) format. This format gives video of 480*320, which looks fine on Nexus One. If you’d like to create Nexus One video of better quality, click on “Settings” and set File Size to 800*480, and bit rate to 1500/2000/2500.

Step 3. Start converting videos to Nexus One optimized video format.

Now click “Convert” button to start converting videos to customized Nexus One video. Wait till the conversion finished. Luckily the Video to Nexus One Converter is of high conversion speed and usually you do not have to wait long.

Step 4. Transfer videos to Nexus One.

After conversion completed, the video clips are ready to be transferred to Nexus One for playback. Refer to above how to transfer videos to Nexus One.

Extract music from video for playback with Nexus One? Convert video to Nexus One audio?

It is very simple to extract sound track from videos. You can convert every video that loaded to the converter to Nexus One music.Simply select desired audio format in Step 2 (see the above guide). For example, you may follow “Common Video”-> “MP3 – MPEG Layer 3 Audio (*.mp3) or “AAC- Advanced Audio Coding (*.aac).

What if I just need partial of the track, not a full length? Well, here you are advised to use the Trim function in the Editor of Video to Nexus One Converter. Select the item you want to trim, click “Edit” button, then switch to “Trim” tab to set start and end time. Always trim the video before setting output format.

The picture above reveals that I cut the video length from 55 secs down to 30 secs. I then back to the main interface of Video to Nexus One Converter, set output format as MP3, and click “Convert”. Few seconds later, I get an MP3 file of 30 secs.

The Nexus One Converter- convert Nexus One shootings to Youtube, FaceBook, etc

With the Google Nexus One, up to thirty minutes of video can be shot in a 720 x 480-pixel resolution, surely you can watch the videos on the smart phone, but when you feel like posting your shootings to Youtube,FaceBook, Viemo, etc, this powerful Pavtube Nexus One Converter also helps you to customize Nexus One shootings (H.263 or MPEG-4 encoded videos) to Youtube,FaceBook with proper formats, size,and duration. But maybe I would leave it in another guide, since that’s not today's topic.

Best sharing:Watch Bluray/DVD movies on Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2

2010-08-18T18:00:00.000-07:00

Among the reviews of top 10 smart phones 2010, you can always find Motorola Droid X. With a beautiful 4.3-inch display, the phone is great for multimedia files and internet,not to mention the Android 2.1 os and full-featured software. Now everyone knows that Moto is all set to launch Droid 2 this August. Good news for cell phone players. The Motorola Droid features a 3.7 inch display, which was fine; when Droid X was released, we were pleased with the 4.3-inch high-resolution screen. What will it be for Droid 2? Maybe this time we could expect a 5-inch display? Anyway, what will you do with the big screen? If you’ve not any plan yet, I’d like to share with you a good idea: transfer your DVD collections to the Motorola Droid X (and maybe Droid 2 in the near future) and play the blockbuster movies wherever you like. With the Pavtube DVD to Motorola Converter for Mac, you can easily copy any protected DVD movies to Motorola Droid/Droid X/ Droid 2.

A detailed guide step by step of converting DVD to Motorola Droid video on Mac

Now let’s focus on the detailed working flow of converting DVD to Motorola Droid,Droid X,and Droid 2.By DVD I mean disc,folder and image file.Here I take a standard DVD disc for example:

step1. Load DVD to Pavtube DVD to Motorola Converter for Mac

Insert your DVD to Mac/MacBook/ iMac, run the DVD to Motorola Droid Converter. When it starts up, a dialogue box pops to ask whether you’d like to select Order or Trial. Click on “Trial” button. To load DVD movie, you can click “DVD Folder” and browse to the DVD movie you’d like to convert, and then click “Choose” to confirm.

step2. Decide which chapters to convert to Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, etc.

The DVD movie is displayed in a directory.Click the triangle arrow to expand the directory for checking movie chapters.Basically the main movie is included in the first Title, so you can right-click, select “Uncheck All” and then check the main title (usually the one with longest duration) only. In the following picture, the main title of the DVD movie Avatar is the third one.

step3. Set audio track and subtitles for selected chapters.

Now you got to select audio track and subtitle (if necessary). Click on the Audio box and select an audio track with desired language. Set subtitles in the same way. Always note that you got to check the chapter before setting audio and subtitle. And you have to select subtitle and audio for each Title. By default there will be no subtitle at all. There is a box of “Force Subtitles” too. When you set English as subtitle and check the box of “Force Subtitles”, the subtitle appears only when languages other than English are spoken. For example, in the movie Avatar, I select English subtitle and set Force Subtitles, the subtitle appears only when the Navi language is spoken.

When setting audio and sub, you can view the movie clips from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you are allowed to take snapshoot. Just click the“Snapshoot” button when it plays to your favorable frame. If you’d like to have one file instead of individual chapters (multiple movie clips),please check the box “Merge into one file”.

step4. Determine output format for your Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, etc.

The Pavtube DVD to Motorola Converter is capable of decrypting and converting protected (and unprotected) DVDs. It is capable of converting DVD to Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, and some other video and audio formats like WMV, MOV, VC-1, M4V, AVI, Divx, MKV etc. You can click on the “Format” bar, find “Android” tab and select “Motorola Droid (X) H.264 Video (*.mp4)” or “Motorola Droid (X) MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)”. H.264 MP4 is recommended if you are producing Droid X or Droid 2 video. Customized video formats for other Android phones like HTC Droids are available too. You may customize video and audio parameters in Settings panel as well.Simply click “Settings” button to and set the bitrate, frame rate,channels, sampling rate as desired values.

step5.Specify an output location.

Click “Browse” button and specify an output folder to save converted files. Click “Choose” to confirm.

step6. Start conversion… Done!

How to playback the ultimate portable device for presentation and media of Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector?

2010-07-23T03:27:00.001-07:00

Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector,the first-ever micro projector product developed by Samsung, has brought beautiful breakthroughs on the performance of pico projectors in the market, not only for its low cost, but also for its larger internal memory and expandable storage capacity, and high level of brightness. More than that, the pico projector weights only six ounces, and measures merely 2.75" W x 1.5" H x 2.75" D inches, and is at a very affordable price of $299.99, so it’s really a good choice for those potential buyers who expect the best cost performance.

The pocket-worthy Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is known for its low price and high quality, which is one of the key features of Samsung products. For instance, AAXA P2 and AAXA L1, two of its competing products, retail at a price of $319.00 and $599.00 respectively, both are expensive than Samsung SP-H03. Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector not only comes with cheaper price than AAXA P2 and AAXA L1, but also features bigger internal storage capacity and higher brightness levels. Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is selling with 1GB internal memory, which is expansion available via microSD card up to 16 GB, and it also supports inputting from a USB storage device, like iPhone 4 and some other smart phones. While the AAXA P2 has 1GB internal flash memory which is only expandable up to another 4GB via a microSD reader, and the AAXA L1 ships with 160MB internal memory which is expandable up to 2GB via a USB thumb drive.

With up to 30 ANSI lumens, Samsung SP-H03 projector delivers clear and crisp images up to 50-inch size using WVGA (854×480) resolution. Amazingly, it can also accommodate an 80 inches screen, and meanwhile produce an impressively sharp and bright picture. In addition, it even features an LED source with 30,000-hour lifetime for projection. Samsung SP-H03 liberates corporate staff members from heavy and large projectors, because it is able to export the same dynamic high quality images that are suitable and perfect for board room presentations.

Samsung SP-H03 is an on-the-go gadget that hosts a Computer-free Document Viewer to project various common document types in their native formats, such as Microsoft Office files (PowerPoint, Excel, and Word) or Adobe PDF documents. What’s amazing is that it offers native multimedia playback functionalities for users to watch movies, images, and enjoy music anytime, anywhere without connecting any other additional devices. It is compatible with a wide variety of media formats, including:

Movie: AVI, MP4, ASF, MPG, RM, FLV, WMV

Image: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF

Music: MP3, MP2, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, RA

That is to say, apart from being an ultimate portable presentation tool, Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is also an ideal tool to do personal entertainment when you travel or stay at home, especially for movie watching. If you have some video files which are already in formats of "AVI, MP4, ASF, MPG, RM, FLV, or WMV", you can directly add them to the microSD card of Samsung SP-H03 to do playback, or if your movie files are not in the above mentioned range, you only need a video converter to do format conversion before watching:

To transfer videos to Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector on a PC, including ripping Blu-ray discs and DVD movies, you can try Pavtube Blu-Ray Video Converter Ultimate;

To convert videos to Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector on a Mac computer, including copying Blu-ray movies and standard DVDs, you can use iMedia Converter for Mac.

In that way, you can use it as a Home Theater projector to experience your beloved movies on a larger screen in the cinema mode.

The only two shortages of Samsung SP-H03 I can see are listed as below:

1. The weak 1W speaker

But it can easily be remedied by plugging it into a speaker system.

2. 2 hours of battery life

The 30 lumens brightness rating will exhaust the battery power fast. It can only support continuous usage up to 2 hours. But a power socket is able to help you out from this problem, so it’s not a big thing at all.

Overall, the cheapest price, the biggest storage capacity, the excellent presentation quality, and the powerful media playback functionalities make Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector the top choice for micro projectors.

How to convert down Panasonic AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG files?

2010-07-12T20:15:00.000-07:00

P2 camera-recorders like Panasonic AJ-HPX3700 record AV data as MXF (Material Exchanged File) files with metadata. It can record the metadata onto the clips scene by scene when it loaded from SD/ SDHC card containing the shooting information. This is very convenient for videographers and TV broadcasting makers to edit the MXF footage in professional editing software (e.g. Adobe Premiere CS5). The non-linear editing system supporting P2 can instantly start editing by mounting the P2 cards and can edit the clips in the P2 cards directly. However, the MXF files are not so well-suited when you feel like backing them up to PC or hard drive. As we all know, the P2 MXF format means high quality and huge file size. When recording in AVC-Intra 100 mode, a 64GB P2 card can be filled up in 64 minutes. It takes long time to copy the HD MXF files, and astonishing space to save them. This guide provides you solution for this issue: converting AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG files and cut the file size down.

Software you'll need: Pavtube HD Video Converter trial (Please note that the trial version generates videos with a watermark in the middle of screen)

Step 1. Import P2 MXF to the powerful MXF Converter.?

Run the MXF Converter, click “Add” button and browse to the MXF files you’d like to convert. When the MXF footages are loaded to the program, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you may take snapshot when it plays to your favorable frame. Simply click the “Snapshoot” button.

Step 2. Select output format- MPEG-2 *.mpg, *.ts, MPEG-4 *.mp4 etc.

The MXF Converter is capable of converting MXF files to various HD and SD video formats. For converting MXF video to MPEG, you just need to click on the “Format” bar and select desired MPEG format from the profile list. In the tab of “Common Video”, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoded SD formats are available. If you’d like to remain HD video quality, please find MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 encoded HD MPG, TS and MP4 format in “HD Video”.

Do not forget to specify a folder to save the converted MPEG files. Simply click the small folder icon next to “Output” field and specify an output folder to save converted files. And make sure there is enough space for saving the output files.

Step 3. Further customize the output format.

Simply click “Settings” button to and set the bit rate, frame rate, channels, sampling rate to desired values. It seems to be complicated, but it is not. What you are doing is down-scaling the MXF files, and the trick lies in video and audio bit rate. The video bit rate of P2 MXF can be up to 100mbps! That’s extremely high! Video bit rate of a commercial blu-ray movie clip is around 30mbps. And standard DVD? 5-10mbps. The first image of this guide reveals basic infomation of the MXF I use for conversion. The MXF clip is 148M, 21’ in length, and its video bit rate is 5, 760kbps. When I convert it to MPEG-2 HD Video (*.mpg), and set “high quality”(18,000kbps) as video bit rate, the file size is down to 47M. The video quality I get will be better than a commercial DVD but not good engouth for burning blu-ray disc. In one word, the lower bit rate you set the smaller file size you get.

Step 4. Start converting down MXF to MPEG.

Click “Convert” to start converting MXF to MPEG formats (*.mpg, *.mp4, *.ts etc) when everything’s ready. The HD Video Converter supports batch conversion so you may load multiple MXF files and convert MXF files to MPEG at one time. You may also merge them to one file by checking the box “Merge into one file” before conversion starts. After conversion you may click “Open” button to find generated MPEG files and use them freely.

Frankly speaking, lots of DVD to iPhone Converters are lack of this feature. Pavtube has it, so it won.

Besides output files specialized for iPhone, Pavtube iPhone Converter Ultimate also supports output other common videos, like AVI, WMV, M4V, 3GP, MKV, ASF, MOV, etc, so it can be considered as a versatile Blu-ray ripper + DVD ripper + video converter.

In my opinion, the only shortage of Pavtube is that it costs much more than the other 3 converters-$59 USD, but for its full functionalities, I think it is well worth paying.

No 2. Avex DVD to iPhone Video Suite

Avex DVD to iPhone suite is able to convert commercial DVD and common videos like FLV, AVI, MOD, M2TS and more to iPhone MP4 video, but with the exception of TiVo files. (Its official site says it supports TiVo files, but in my test, it failed.)

Compare with Pavtube iPhone Converter Ultimate, Avex DVD to iPhone suite is not very user-friendly, at least for me, some conversion options are difficult to find out, for example, I have not got the way to select subtitles and audio tracks until read its manual. Besides that, users need select different conversion modes to rip DVD or convert video files. It seems a little troublesome, but not a big problem.

Another two reasons why I didn’t choose Avex are that it is without Blu-ray support, and one can only convert 5 minutes to see the conversion quality by using the trail version. In my case, the output quality in the 5 minutes conversion is good, but I could not check if it would keep the good quality when it went to the end of the movie. From this point, Pavtube is much better, because it allows users to convert the whole movie without time restrictions, and only with a tiny "PAVTUBE" watermark standing in the center of the screen. In that way, users are free to see the final quality of it.

Due to its less functionality, Avex DVD to iPhone suite is a little cheaper than Pavtube. It costs $45 USD. If you need rip additional BD movies and TiVo recordings, Pavtube is the proper choice, but if you just need convert standard DVDs and common videos, then Avex DVD to iPhone suite is your choice.

No 3. WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper

WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper is only focusing on ripping DVDs, including normal DVDs, CSS protected DVDs, Sony ArccOS DVDs and region 1-6 DVDs. More than converting DVDs to iPhone, it also supports exporting files optimized for iPad, iPod, and Apple TV.

The same as Avex DVD to iPhone Video Suite, WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper also has time restriction while using the trial version-less than 5 minutes. In my test, its output files are in an acceptable quality while playback, but it is a pity I could only see the file produced within 5 minutes to check the video and audio quality. From this point, Pavtube is more reasonable than WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper and Avex DVD to iPhone Video Suite.

But in regard to the price, WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper is much more affordable, only $29.95 USD. Supposing you just need ripping DVDs to play on iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Apple TV, then WinX DVD to iPhone Ripper is the best choice.

No 4. TOP DVD to iPhone Converter

TOP DVD to iPhone Converter is a pure DVD to iPhone Converter, and unlike the former three programs, it only supports ripping standard DVD files to iPhone playable mp4 video and mp3 audio, without any supports for Blu-rays, common videos or other portable devices.

Compare with the above mentioned three applications, the conversion speed of TOP DVD to iPhone Converter is a little slower, but it’s not a serious thing, because the final quality is OK. The same as Pavtube iPhone Converter Ultimate, TOP DVD to iPhone Converter allows users trying the software without time limitation, only with three lines of text watermarks standing in the center of the image, which is a little bigger than that of Pavtube.

Another thing I need to mention is that video and audio settings like bit rate, frame rate, sample rate are unavailable to adjust in TOP software. Unlike the former mentioned 3 utilities, TOP DVD to iPhone Converter only provides users with "Video Size", "Video Quality", "Channel", and "Audio Quality" options to change. But if you are ready to use default settings, this would not be a problem.

What’s more, TOP software seems not as stable as another 3 programs, one crash problem has happened during my course of conversion test. But considering its much lower price, $19.99 USD, the cheapest one among all, maybe we should not have much higher expectations on it. To put it bluntly, the final quality produced by this software is good, so if you are considering much more about money cost, you can choose TOP software to rip commercial DVDs for playback on your iPhone.

Well, hope the above reviews will be of some help for you guys. Good luck.

For the users of Panasonic Lumix line digital cameras like DMC-FT1, DMC-FZ35 and DMC-FZ38, AVCHD Lite should be a familiar phrase.The name was used first in marketing literature for the Panasonic DMC-ZS3 digital cameras, announced in January 2009. AVCHD Lite is a subset of AVCHD format, which identifies devices that are capable of 720p/30fps recording only. Comparing with Full HD, the 720p/30fps video is recorded in the normal AVCHD 720p/60 format, but every other frame is duplicated, resulting in thirty actual frames per second. A good news for Mac guys is that Apple has made it clear that iMovie 09’ is able to edit the AVCHD Lite video. Yet the AVCHD Lite video turns out to be incompatible with QuickTime Player. Surely you may play it with Mplayer or VLC player, but guys like me would rather use QuickTime Player watching everything. In order to play the AVCHD Lite video files generated by the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 smoothly on Mac, the AVCHD Lite must be converted to QuickTime compatible format, like MOV, MP4,etc.

[Essence]How to edit, crop, copy, convert and combine DVD movies?

You may have the need to do some editing on your DVD movie and convert them with the customized editing to AVI, MPEG, WMV and 3GP video. This will be very interesting, since you are creating kind of new movie all by yourself.

To edit the DVD video, you need to find a DVD decrypting application, or DVD ripping software which provides editing options as much as possible. I am using Pavtube DVD Ripper, so, today, I just take this popular DVD Ripper for example.

First, you need to import the DVD movies to the DVD ripping software.

Second, select the titles you would like to do editing and if you don’t know much about the movie you import, click the preview button to make sure that you are editing the right titles or chapters. And the hit the button of "Edit" to adjust the effect, trim or crop the videos.

Third, now let’s start the editing. Pavtube DVD Ripper offers three main editing sections, effect setting, trimming and cropping.

Effect Setting: Options are contrast, brightness for video and volume for audio.

Drag the slider bar for Brightness, Contrast, and Volume to preview the effect on the right column.

If the DVD image does not display correctly, you can tick the checkbox for "Flip" to fix it.

Remember to hit "Apply". Hit "Apply to Child Chapters" if the file you select is a title, or "Apply to All" if the file you select is a chapter. Otherwise, you may click the "Reset" button to gain the default settings.

Trim: This is intended for users to define the beginning time as well as ending time. You can trim the section you want through either defining a specific time or an ending time or drag the side bars at the two ends to clip the movie section. The later is much more convenient. Keep in mind that you must hit the button of "Apply" and "OK" or you have spend all the time in vain.

Crop: This is intended for users to crop the image.

Select an option under the drop down list of the "Letter Box", drag the dashed frame on the preview pane, or enter value on the boxes for the four positions to set the pixels you want to cut off. If the file you select to customize is a title, you can tick the checkbox for "Apply to Child Chapters" to get other files with the same settings under the "Crop" tab.

As this guide shows, you can tick several items on the major interface and apply the settings one by one, and in this way, you keep different settings for different titles or chapters, for example, you may have trim first 3 minutes of the Title1_2, the last 30 seconds of the Title1-3 etc.

To combine the sections you have selected and edited, all you need to do is to tick the checkbox of "Merge into one file" next to the format selecting box.

And finally, you will get the videos consisting of your favorite parts and with your preferred settings. Hope you could enjoy the popular DVD Ripper program! Oh,yeah!

To edit the DVD movie, you need to convert DVD to AVI firstly and then import the exported AVI videos to Adobe Premiere, Windows Movie Maker, and Sony Vegas etc.??First let us start from what is AVI.

About AVI

AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave Which is defined by Microsoft, it can work as a container to be embedded with different codec, such as DivX, XviD, etc. The AVI video generally brings high quality, but occupies larger disk space. It is suitable for further video editing.

To edit DVD with Windows movie maker, you need a DVD Ripper to convert DVD to AVI. This popular software offers AVI formats with various codec, which will certainly meet your needs to play, and edit video etc.

Step2: Edit your AVI video. Open your storyboard by clicking "View storyboard." Your storyboard will be your timeline and where you will do most of your editing. For you movie folks we can call it your "cutting room floor." To put your video in the storyboard, drag it from your library to the storyboard. Click the plus sign on your timeline so you can see video and audio lines. If you want to add extra audio to your piece, import it the same way you did your video.

Step3: Play your AVI video and watch for where you want to cut and delete the extraneous video. Place your timeline cursor (the blue line that crosses perpendicular to the timeline) where you want to cut your video and split it by choosing "Edit split." Split your original video as many times as you want. Once you split the video you see the rest of the original video in your library. Delete the video you don't want by pressing "Delete" on your keyboard.

Step4: Add video by dragging it to the storyboard. Make sure your cursor is where you want it on the timeline because the program will automatically place your audio track where your cursor is. You will notice your audio track goes into the audio space on your timeline. To edit audio follow the same steps as the video.
