Convert your DVD movies to play on an iPod

Posted by hassoune

Most iPods, besides their music features, offer high quality video capabilities; it’s one of the reasons they are one of the most versatile gadgets on the market. We all enjoy watching movies to relax and unwind, so why not convert your own DVDs to the iPod format and watch them whenever you want, wherever you are?

Transferring your DVD movies to play on your iPod, iPhone, Touch, or Nano can be simple, or in some cases, time-consuming and difficult. There are many iPod converters available, but only a few are worth purchasing: some are too expensive, some are hard to use, and many aren’t reliable (they mess up sound and/or picture, or they can’t convert new movies). A good iPod converter must meet the following conditions:

•    User-friendly interface – the program must be easy to use.

•    Fast encoding – the program must be able to encode fast so that the entire process will be finished fast.

•    Versatile – the Converter should be able to output video for all iPod Video formats: Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone.

•    Quality – the converted movie must offer excellent sound and picture quality.

•    Error Processing – the program must be able fix any problems that appear during the converting process.

•    Features – the program must have popular options implemented, such as picture quality, subtitles, different languages, etc.

It’s also helpful if the program has a tutorial/help section where the user can learn how to take advantage of extra features. Another important thing regarding conversion from a DVD to an iPod is the ability to zoom from widescreen to full screen. A good converter should have this feature implemented in order to allow for a clean transition.

The program should allow inexperienced as well as advanced users a satisfactory experience. For novice users, a good converter should have an option for automatically adjusting settings to achieve the best results. For advanced users, there should be the ability to manually adjust a wide variety of parameters. A good iPod converter should also allow converting from both NTSC and PAL DVD movies.

Excellent iPod converters can be found for around $40.00, and they’ll do everything, and often more, than some of the more expensive programs. You can try and go the inexpensive route, using two or three free programs in combination (Videora, DVD Shrink, Handbrake, etc.), but I found that the free programs involved a large number of steps, produced mixed results, and wouldn’t convert many new DVD movies (those produced over the past four years). Don’t get me wrong, I’m a thrifty guy, and if there’s a cheap way to do things, I‘m usually on-board, but in this case, the hassle just wasn’t worth it.  The advantages offered by a good converting program far outweighed the trial and error hassles I found using outdated free programs.

Converting your DVD movies to play on an iPod allows one to watch their favorite movies and T.V. programs while on the bus or subway, on airplanes or long drives, or whenever you have a few free moments. DVD conversion software is getting more and more popular, as they facilitate the perfect transition from the ‘big screen’ to the ‘little screen’.

Strike Knight Tips & Cheats

Strike Knight iPhone App Tips & Cheats

Strike Knight is the latest iPhone game app from Back flip studios. On this page we will look at some tips for Strike Knight, see if there are any cheats for Strike Knight and also see if we can work out how to get that elusive 7-10 split. We will also see if it is possible to bowl a perfect game and get on that GameCentre leaderboard. This page will tell you all you need to know about the iPhone Strike Knight game and give you some helpful tips and cheats.

Strike Knight came out in June of 2011. A very popular game from the outset, Strike Knight shot into the download charts. This is a very simple game based upon ten pin bowling, even though the idea is simple, the game gets very addictive as it is such an easy one to play. This is an iPhone app that will keep you entertained for hours on end, plus it is currently a free download from the app store. So let’s now have a closer look at the game itself.


Strike Knight The Game

When you open the Strike Knight game up you are taken to the menu page. From the menu you can go and play a single player game, you can play two player using play and pass or you can click on the more tab and view your best scores, your average score and also the total number of points you have scored overall when playing the Strike Knight game. From here you can also read the instructions, adjust the volume settings and read the credits. You also have the option of seeing more games from Back flip studios. Another option that the game gives you is to remove the ads, there are a lot of adverts on the game so this maybe a feature some people want to explore, however you do have to pay for this to be done.


When you play a game the idea is simple. Knock the pins down with the disk. Instead of a bowling ball you use a small disk to hit the pins. To throw the disk you simply slide your finger in the desired direction and then release at the appropriate moment. The basic scoring is the same as bowling, you can get a strike or a spare. However, when you do get either a strike or spare you are awarded bonus points. The amount of point you get for this depends upon your timing, above the lane you will see scores flashing across the display unit, you must time your throw just right to get the maximum amount of points available. If you get it just right you can pick up 800 points for a strike.


If you fail to knock all the pins down you are simply awarded the amount of pins you hit. So basically you lose a lot of points. There are ten frames in the game and your score is added up as you go along. At the end of the game your score is displayed and also you will be shown your highest score to date and also your average score. You can also pick up awards for doing things like bowling 3 strikes in a row or clearing a 7-10 split. Your stats and score will show up on GameCentre so you can then compete with your friends and other players from all over the world.

the iPhone 5 Hardware

Posted by hassoune

In the upgrade from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S, virtually nothing changed in the design of the phone itself, making one model essentially impossible to distinguish from the other. While there's a family resemblance between the iPhone 5 and the 4S, but they're pretty easy to tell apart thanks to one key factor: screen size.
The iPhone 5 stands out thanks to its taller screen, 4 diagonal inches vs. the 4S's 3.5 diagonal inches. Since the size and shape of the iPhone is largely defined by its screen, this makes the iPhone 5 proportionally bigger. Besides the bigger screen, though, here's a rundown of the other key hardware features of the iPhone 5.


  1. Ringer/Mute Switch - This toggle switch on the side of the phone lets you put the iPhone into silent mode, for when you want to receive calls but not hear the phone ring.
  2. Antennas - These thin black lines on the sides of the phone, one at each corner (only two are shown on the image above), are the antennas that the iPhone uses to connect to cellular networks. This placement of the antennas is roughly the same as on the iPhone 4S, which introduced two separate antennas for greater reliability.
  3. Front Camera - Centered over the screen (on previous models, it was to the left of the speaker), this camera takes 720p HD/1.2 megapixel images and is used primarily for making FaceTime video calls (which now, thanks to iOS 6, can take place over cellular networks, not just 3G/4G).
  4. Speaker - Hold this speaker up to your ear to hear the person you're talking to during phone calls.
  5. Headphone Jack - Plug in headphones here to listen to music or make calls without using the iPhone's main speaker at the bottom of the device. Some accessories, such as cassette adapters for car stereos, also connect here.
  6. Hold Button - Thanks to its versatility, this button can go by many names: the hold button, the on/off switch, the sleep/wake button. Click this button to put the iPhone to sleep and to wake it up again. Hold it down long enough and a slider appears onscreen that lets you turn the iPhone off (and, no surprise, turn it back on). When your iPhone is frozen, or you want to take a screenshot, a judicious combination of the Hold and Home buttons gets the result you're looking for.
  7. Volume Buttons - Located next to the Ringer/Mute Switch, these buttons let you raise and lower the volume of calls, music, and any other audio playing through the headphone jack or the main speaker.
  8. Home Button - The only button on the front of the iPhone does a lot of things. A single press brings you back to the homescreen. A double press brings up the Fast App Switcher and lets you kill apps (or use AirPlay, when available). It's also a key element in taking screenshots, bringing up music controls when the phone is locked, using Siri, and restarting the iPhone.
  9. Lightning Connector - One of the more visible hardware changes on the iPhone 5. This port on the bottom is used for syncing your iPhone to your computer and is the way accessories like speaker docks connect. The thing that's different here, though, is that this dock connector, called Lightning, is smaller and simpler than previous versions (for those of you interested in this sort of thing, the new version uses 9 pins, while the previous had 30 pins). Because of this change, old accessories that required the Dock Connector aren't compatible without an adapter.
  10. Speaker - One of two small openings at the bottom of the iPhone, covered by metal mesh. The speaker plays music, alert sounds, or calls on speakerphone.
  11. Microphone - The other opening at the iPhone's bottom, the microphone picks up your voice for phone calls.
  12. SIM Card - The small slot on the side of the iPhone (which can be opened with a "SIM Card remover," aka a paper clip) houses the SIM, or subscriber identity module, which is a chip that identifies your phone to cellular networks and stores data like your phone number. Without it, the phone wouldn't be able to access 3G and 4G networks. On the iPhone 5, the SIM is even smaller, using what's called a nano SIM, as opposed to the iPhone 4S's microSIM.
  13. 4G LTE Chip (not pictured) - A major under-the-hood upgrade for the new iPhone--one that users never see but definitely experience--is the inclusion of 4G LTE cellular network support. This is the successor to 3G and is much faster.
  14. Back Camera (not pictured) - The back of the iPhone sports an 8-megapixel camera designed for taking high-quality photos and video at 1080p HD. .
  15. Back Microphone (not pictured) - Between the back camera and the camera flash is a microphone, added to the iPhone for the first time with the iPhone 5, that helps in picking up audio for the video being recorded using the back camera.
  16. Camera Flash (not pictured) - Next to the back microphone and camera is a flash that helps the iPhone take photos in low-light situations.

A General Review of the iPhone Transmitter

Posted by hassoune

Recent developments from Apple have witnessed the introduction of the iPhone transmitter into the market. This is a sound system that can be used in a vehicle or at home, either for entertainment purposes or for listening to your FM radio. Here, you would find out that the device is highly indispensable in your daily life.
The iPhone FM transmitters come in varieties. However, they generally help you to play sound files or systems from the interface of your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. It provides you with a platform to have a memorable music experience while you're driving your car or while you're at home.


How the Transmitter Works

When using a transmitter for the broadcast of any sound, the audio is being replicated as though it were plugged directly into the radio through an auxiliary port. The music sound from your iPhone is the most important things in the whole operation. When you hear it as it should sound, you'll enjoy it very well. The iPhone transmitter simply involves the reproduction of sound from your iPhone through an output which may be your car stereo or your home stereo.

Broadcast Capability

Today, you can even find a type of transmitter that makes use of a free app from the Apple store, which lets you harness the potentiality of the public FM band to broadcast your music sound up to 75 feet. More so, it has a thin bumper guard that somewhat helps to protect the face of the iPhone. To some extent, it keeps the phone against dirt. A typical iPhone FM transmitter provides a good broadcast distance. Typically, most transmitters come with an average broadcast distance of 75 - 100 feet. Some can even broadcast sound beyond the average range up to 150 feet.

Home Usage Value

Depending on your need per time, you can use your iPhone transmitter at home. In fact, home usage is one of the best ways to use this gadget. For instance, while you're working in the garden, you can play your music on the home stereo that is in the living room which, for instance, is about 40 feet away from you. You can easily make musical selections as you like without leaving the garden. Remember that you can't use a remote control in this situation.

Charging

While using the device in your vehicle, you can charge your phone by plugging it into a USB port or the utility adapter or cigarette lighter of your vehicle. This is quite important since the battery tends to get drained faster when you use your device to play any sound. Since the battery will wear out quickly, you need to charge it while it's being used.
The importance of an iPhone transmitter cannot be underestimated in the life of most people, especially car owners. Similarly, families who want to have a flexible control over their home stereo system also need this device.
