We tend to rely heavily on our favorite desktop applications like Photoshop, GIMP, Audacity, Adobe Premier and so on when it comes to dealing with multimedia files. What if we are on a public machine that doesn’t have the software we need, or worst, what if these public machines prevent users from installing applications?

Looking around for some complete movie and TV episodes on video hosting websites I stumbled across Hulu. Glad I did as they have an HD quality The Office episode that I had missed and even more important, they have past It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes. If you haven't heard or watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia check it out on Hulu. Watching in Full Screen works well and the videos stay buffered nicely so there is very little, if any, delays.

How to convert a DVD format movie (VOB) to VCD (Mpeg1). The reason I had a need to find out how to do this is the Dazzle DVD capture hardware can capture the video to your harddrive in DVD format (VOB) but my DVD player would not recognize the burned media. My DVD player is much more forgiving with a VCD formatted media (Mpeg1).
** Dazzle is only required if you want to capture video from a digital camera or VCR or other video source
Steps:
When capturing video from Dazzle make sure its saving it to your harddrive (will create a folder called VIDEO_TS)
Convert the VOB file to an Indexed Mpeg2 using a DGIndex (free).
Start DGIndex and open the VOB file of your captured video.
Now save the project, in the same folder as the VOB file, as a DGIndex project file (d2v).
Close DGIndex
Re-encode the video as a VCD compliant video (Mpeg1) using TMPGEnc.
Start TMPGEnc
Choose Video-CD from the wizard and press next
Choose the d2v file from Step2 for the video
Choose the wav file that was created from Step2 and click next
You can set some options on this screen (clip frame is a great way to clean up the rough edges of a captured video)
Press until you get to the screen to start processing
Save the Mpg file where you want.
Close TMPGEnc
Now you have a proper VCD format from a DVD movie so you can burn this to CD to play in any DVD player. The burning process must be done with software that can burn videos - I use StarBurn as its works great and is free.

Quickly transfer and share your videos on DVD with Dazzle DVD Recorder. Thanks to its plug-in-play simplicity and a step-by step guide, copying your home movies from almost any video device to DVD has never been easier or faster.
I was looking for a way to convert a bunch of VHS tapes to DVD (or mpeg) as I didn't want to have my VCR hooked up anymore. Did lots of research and cames across Dazzle from Pinnacle. This has got to be the easiest and quickest way as its as simple as connecting the hardware interface between the VCR 'out' and a USB2.0 in on my computer and letting the wizard style software do the rest. The software captures the video feed from the VCR and burns it to a DVD.
Now I can finally get rid of my VCR from the living room. Now I keep it in my office for converting tapes to DVD's...
(more information coming on converting the video from Dazzle (DVD) to VCD or SVCD using only freely available software)

A filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday confirms that retailer Best Buy has entered into a deal to completely purchase online music service Napster, for $121 million including $54 million up front.
Why? Where is Best Buy going with this? Are the brick and mortar companies as we know it on the way out the door?

You've spent a lot of time and money collecting digital music. And by now, you have a pretty sweet library of MP3s and AACs to show for the effort.
But let's say you want to take that library to go? Before you start carrying around a huge hard drive, you might want to try streaming your tunes online instead. All it takes to start streaming your music over the internet is a playlist, a server with some storage space, and a software player that can open and play an internet stream.

By indexing every attachment as well as every link to photos and videos from sites like Flickr, Picasa, and YouTube, Xoopit allows you to easily search for and find any picture or video and view it from directly inside Gmail.
The only thing that makes this questionable is they want your Gmail login password. Not sure how many people are comfortable with that, but I'm not.

If you look back over the 5.0 version, which has been out for many years, this is the largest update ever. Seems that AOL has been holding on to updates and fixes to make this a more special version.

They went live on Friday. Examples of what the service can do are above (along with the original 2D images. A video is here which shows more examples."
Are online applications / tools the wave of the future? Will everything be available in an online, thin client version? I think so even though in some ways I just can't seeing it work. There are a few (probably many) applications that just screem to be put online and Image Resizer is one of them.
Quick Thumbnail is a super easy, yet powerful online image resizer that allows you to resize an image from any system regardless of your skill level.
Whats its Color is more in the realm of fun applications. Sure it provides useful information that can be used in any type of design but its just fun to play with. What it does is take an image and evaulate every pixel and comes up with the 'colors' of that image. It also goes one step further and displays your image on what is determined to be the best background color to show off that image.
midomi.com makes it fun and easy to find and discover music and people. For the first time, you can use your voice to instantly connect to your favorite music, and to a community of people that share your musical interests.
Seems like a natural progression for locating music and songs but unsure about lending my voice to a search engine. I know that both Google and Microsoft are working on new search engines: one based on voice and another based on images.
A great way to re-encode video files without installing software on your system. The problem is the free account can be limiting (see below). You would be amazed at the amount of video files they support. Signup for a free account and give it a try. Who knows, the 10min limit on a free account may work for you.
I hate when I have a bunch of MP3 files all at different audio levels. That's where MP3Gain comes in and saves the day. What MP3Gain does is normalize the audio levels of all MP3 so they have the same audio level, from what we can hear.
While you're at it check out MediaMonkey is it provides this, and much more, functionality. This is a great freeware tool.
Whats Its Color is a fun little online application for getting the primary and complementary dominant colors of an image, how many visually unique colors are in an image, and the top ten visually unique colors in an image. Why is this useful? Well, if you were creating a website around an image or using an image as the primary inspiration for any type is design it can be very helpful to know what its primary dominant color is or what are the unique colors that people can see when viewing the image. The final results will display your image on a background that is best suited for that image. This application is just fun to play around with.
Ever get an AVI file and try to play it in Windows Media Player only to get an error about missing codecs? Fear not. GSpot not only gives you detailed information about the video but it also gives you the codec required to play it properly. So get your mind out of the gutter and grab this excellent utility while its available.
Its seems that AllofMP3 may be on the way out. Never really understood how this russian based MP3 site was to stay operational for long considering the are selling copyrighted music at ridiculously low prices (like $2.00 per CD).
So get'em while you can as its may be closing its doors very soon.
This is a very cool video (really just audio) that displays the sounds of Win Vista as compared to WinXP. The sounds are much softer and in some cases I think a bit too soft.
