Converting AVI to iPhone Troubles

April 7, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

I been trying a bunch of programs, like Handbreak, Videora, WinFF, Media Coder, all that which will convert AVI files into a format the iPhone can read, well so far none of them are working.  Every time I try to add the video to the phone, iTunes says this phone can’t play this video on this phone or something like that.  The format is like .MOV, .M4V, .MPEG4.  I tried all of these formats and I can’t get any of them work!  I’ve tried tutorials online that tell me how to convert .AVI video files to a format that the iPhone can read and play, so far they don’t work. 

Now I am starting to think that there may be either something wrong with the phone, or an setting. I had videos that I had converted with Videora before and they work just fine, but this was a while ago.  I wanted to add another video and I used Videora to convert them, and yes, everything was done the exact same way as before, and it wont play on the phone!  I have no idea what I am doing wrong. 

Any ideas?

VideoLAN VLC Media Player

February 26, 2010 |  by Nick  |  1 Comment  | 

Did you download a audio file and/or a video in a format you may or may not have seen before?  You try them, but they don’t work on your media players you have installed.  Did you try VideoLan VLC Media Player?  VLC Media Player is a free, open source that supports large number of codecs, sure I can list them all, but there is just way to many!  But, the people at VideoLAN has created a page for you that lists them all that are supported by VLC.  You can check that out here. I decided to create a little review about VLC, because I have asked a few people about VLC and they never heard of it, but they didn’t know that it can play just about every type of media format.

knowemlogo A few months ago, I wrote a post about Usernames being taken. I did forget to mention Knowem? Which is really an amazing user name check, they check over 350 sites.  So Instead of added it to the old post, I decided to create a small review.

The first thing you see when you visit the site is the incredible easy and simple design that makes searching for your usernames a snap.  They have over ten categories for checking your username, such as: microblogging, blogging, bookmarking, music, photos, etc.  This is really awesome for checking to see if your username is taken from any of these websites.
