Good DVD to Video Tools for Ripping DVDs

2010-02-24T22:33:00.000-08:00

Watching DVD movies has become a very popular way of household entertainment nowadays, and DVD is the important channel to sell movies to the public. However, DVD won't satisfy the increasing needs of video entertainment on gadgets like iPod and Zune, and is quite vulnerable against physical damage such as scratches and smudges. Therefore, DVD Ripper software are summoned and developed fast. After reaching to the internet, we have garnered a handful of DVD Rippers each ranks high around websites. In this benchmark review, you will understand each DVD Ripper inside out and find the one best to your needs.

Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter 8.01 www.cucusoft.com/ $45.95

Magic DVD Ripper 5.4.2 www.magicdvdripper.com/ $34.97

Leawo DVD Ripper 2.2.1.0 www.leawo.com/ $29.95

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate 3.3.1.844 www.pavtube.com/ $49

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate 5.3.0 www.wondershare.com/ $65.95

Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate 5.0.62 www.xilisoft.com/ $55.95

Since there is no standard for what DVD Ripper software should look like, it
makes no sense to compare between their functions. But one thing is clear, are
they adequately fit for the task of DVD to video conversion? Concerning common
urgent needs, I will give benchmarks to each DVD Ripper on installation,
user interface, conversion flexibilities and output quality.

Part One: Installation

All six DVD Ripper software companies offer trial copy download on their
websites. As for trial limitation, Magic DVD Ripper will suspend the use after
five conversion tasks, Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate allows for conversion of 5
minute length of each DVD video, and the rest DVD Rippers will put a watermark
on output videos. Here is a simple chart comparing the size of each program
before and after installation.

During installation, there were no alarms for virus or adware detection. All
DVD Rippers are all instantly functional without restarting the system.

As the smaller space the program takes, the better it is for users to get and
install. So here I give my points for the benchmark of installation.

Part Two: User Interface

Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter

The user interface is gloomy; however, the functions are in proper positions.
The Load entry, Chapters list, DVD info, Output profiles, and Convert button are
discernable. We just need to make a selection of the DVD chapters and the
desired output profile, and then simply begin the conversion without any
hassles. By the way, this DVD Ripper has an interesting function that can switch
it between player mode and converter mode, which means we can use it to enjoy
but not just to preview the DVD movie.

Magic DVD Ripper

Thanks to the simplistic user interface, Magic DVD Ripper is the most space
efficient when installed on our PC. Since it sacrifices user experience for
smaller setup size and faster response, we have to spend some time to figure out
the desired conversion settings before the big start. Fortunately, the settings
are not flooded with geek’s terms. But pitifully no built-in player is to help
us identify the desired chapters. It has left out this feature assuming we
should have installed some DVD player software in advance.

Leawo DVD Ripper

Leawo DVD Ripper looks much better, although this is its only skin. The
operation procedure is comfortable like drawing a tick: from the chapters list,
via profile and settings, all the way to the start button. In the menu bar, the
language item suggests the program is thoughtfully adapted for users of
different languages. In the player control, a camera button implies the
screenshot feature upon playing the DVD movie. Meanwhile, the program sets up
shortcuts to the folders where the screenshots and converted videos are stored
respectively. The straight forward interface also tells the program can choose
to merge all chapters into one single video file or not and provides some video
edit functions.

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate looks almost the same with Leawo DVD
Ripper, except this program can convert AVI, MP4 videos as well.

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate also possesses the capability to convert
AVI, MP4 videos as Pavtube does. The style of interface is not much different
from Pavtube and Leawo, but most of the interface is enhanced with animated
transitions, which contributes to greater user experience and maybe a little
inflation of setup size. Besides, this DVD Ripper is versatile as it can burn
video to DVD and transfer video to USB devices.

Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate

Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate gives a very professional impression on the
first glimpse. The program embraces a CPU usage monitor to keep itself from
hogging too much system resource. When loading a DVD, the DVD cover information
will be clearly displayed. In the right extension panel, it greets us with a
flock of options and controls, which is good for the professionals, but for
beginners it fails to give equal thoughts on easy navigation, as we see, the
buttons for Load DVD and Start Conversion are barely icons without straight
forward identifications.

The user interface is the most important factor for user experience, in which
in my opinion the easier to operate the better.

Part Three: Conversion Flexibilities

In many occasions, the demands for DVD to video conversion vary by
objectives. For example, getting DVD movie to play on iPod or PSP or insert to a
presentation file requires the modulation of encoding parameters such as the
choice of video codec and the size of video frames. It is necessary the DVD
Ripper software is flexible to provide pertinent options and controls. Profiles
or presets are indispensible part of DVD Ripper software; they are convenient
for repetitive use or novice use.

Here is the table where each DVD Ripper counts their profiles.

Compared to its counterparts, Magic DVD Ripper is certainly embarrassed by
its sparse profiles, of which Pavtube is about ten times and the rest DVD
Rippers are around five times. However, profiles are not always the more the
better. Pavtube is thoughtful to set up that many profiles, but it also kills
the user’s patience in looking for desired profiles. In my opinion, the golden
number of profiles is in the proximity to 100.

In addition to profiles, it is also necessary for the DVD Ripper software to
provide advanced settings to refine or even build custom profiles. Without
surprise, these competing DVD Rippers are also varying in the advanced settings
provided.

Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter

Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter’s advanced settings panel looks dilapidated,
but it manages to put essential parameters like Video Bit Rate, Frame Rate,
Video Size, Audio Bit Rate and Sample Rate in the front and keep those minor
ones in Advanced Video Options.

Magic DVD Ripper

Magic DVD Ripper provides nothing fewer than we have expected, but also
nothing more.

Leawo DVD Ripper

Leawo DVD Ripper clearly offers only these essential settings. It has drop
down box for each parameter for us to choose a value from and also allows us to
type value to our own desire.

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate resembles Leawo DVD Ripper, except the
values are restricted from the dropdown boxes.

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate also restricts the parameters except
Resolution and Frame Rate. But I can’t see why it doesn’t set Video Bit Rate
free likewise.

Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate

Once again, Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate amazed us by its overwhelming
Advanced Profile Settings. It is more like an extended version of that of
Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter. In my humble opinion, we have complete control
over the video conversion as long as we know how to make from all those
parameters.

In this part, I have reviewed the core of DVD Ripper software: profiles and
settings, which can suggest the professional level as well as the flexibilities
of each DVD Ripper program. Xilisoft is no doubt in the best taste of
professionals, and the rest DVD Rippers provide essential parameters to meet
sufficient demands.

Part Four: Output Quality

All DVD Ripper software should strive to provide output quality as good as
possible and make this an easy target for users to reach. To compare the
performance, I specify a DVD to video conversion task below to each DVD
Ripper.

By monitoring the process of each conversion, I have garnered information on
CPU Usage, Memory Usage and Total Spent Time. Here is the chart.

The lower means the better, because it tells how much the program occupies
your system resource and your time. As for output quality, let’s make a straight
forward judgment from the screenshots below.

Original DVD Screenshot

Cucusoft Ultimate DVD Converter Screenshot

Compared to the original screenshot, it is obvious that the left man’s beard,
left collar of his suit, and the right man’s neck get blurred and lose
details.

Magic DVD Ripper Screenshot

The quality gets worse as more details in the left man’s hair and both men’s
faces are gone.

Leawo DVD Ripper Screenshot

The details are actually increasing in this video picture as we can see the
layer of the left man’s hair is more distinguishable than the original. Some
video enhancing technology must have made the video picture look sharper.

Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate Screenshot

The picture quality is almost the same as that comes out from Leawo DVD
Ripper, except there is no way to keep the original aspect ratio in this DVD
Ripper.

Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate Screenshot

Details in shadows and faces are given away. The video picture looks blur and
unclear.

Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate Screenshot

The video picture quality is enhanced likewise, evening with Leawo and
Pavtube.

The output video size and the playback smoothness are revealed below:

Based on the picture quality, output file size and playback smoothness, this
is the benchmark for this part.

Conclusion

Let me wrap up with benchmarks from four parts: installation, user
interface, conversion flexibilities and output quality.

From the chart, we can tell Leawo DVD Ripper, Pavtube
Video DVD Converter Ultimate and Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate are well
qualified for the task of DVD to video conversion. Should you pursuit picture
quality, Leawo DVD Ripper is your choice; should you go after better user
experience, Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate surely satisfies you; should you
look for an integrated solution for both DVD and video conversion, Pavtube Video
DVD Converter Ultimate suits the job.

Surprises and Letdowns: Review on Apple iPad debut

2010-02-03T00:43:00.000-08:00

Apple Tablet iPad has been debuted recently, putting an end to the fuzz of rumors. This 9.7" 1.5lb tablet comes with familiar traits of the iPhone but looks over-sized. It supports multi-touch on its large screen. Many of iPhone's apps can run on iPad without conversion. The battery can last 10 hours in general use and a month in standby mode. Apple iPad provides connections via WiFi and 3G tele-network, though USB, video output and Bluetooth ports are missing. However, the surprises are not large screen, long battery life or wide support for iPhone apps, but the new hardware configuration that sustains everything to run smoothly on iPad.

Apple iPad uses a new chip named "A4" run at 1GHz clock frequencies, which the one on iPhone 3GS run at 600 MHz. Therefore it is fairly likely the gaming experience on iPad will be better than iPhone 3GS, meanwhile more elegant apps will be developed to make the most of iPad's performance. It is the beginning for more intriguing apps as well as the potential features for multitasking and flash playback. Although these two features are said to be disabled to keep iPad from stumbling, they are inevitably the most criticized letdowns among Apple's community.

Flash and multitasking are rarely missing on notebooks and even netbooks. They have been indispensible to our web surfing and computing life. Since iPhone insists not to embrace these features and iPad is running on iPhone OS, I doubt iPad will make any difference; however, I also doubt Apple will turn its back at the massive needs in the long term. Something will change in the next version of the OS for iPad, or it will risk the damage of its image striving to meet the needs of everyone. In comparison, I think people are overreacting towards the missing of camera and keyboard. For me, it looks kind of weird to integrate these parts to a tablet, destroying the sleek profile of this elegant device. Another so-called letdown blaming the 4:3 screen format uncomfortable for watching movies. It is true when one really takes iPad as a video device solely, but it is wrong when iPad is designed to use in both landscape and portrait ways. To me, the big letdown is the price for now. If those missing features were fully blown, I would say the price of iPad now is acceptable.

All in all, Apple's new tablet iPad is a piece of fine art but yet to be further improved to meet public expectations. It is good that Apple keeps flourishing its product lines with some conceptive products; however, I wish Apple won't be too self-obsessed to neglect what the consumer needs.

2009-12-14T17:16:00.000-08:00

Christmas is the most appealing gift-giving and happiness-sharing holiday of the year.

As grown-ups, the movies can recall your fading dream of Christmas and the happy moments you ever have in your childhood. Just open your heart and enjoy the sentimental influence of these good movies.

Here are the top 5 Christmas Movies we recommend:
The Santa Clause (PG) 1994

This is a cheerfully corny family comedy which binds the theme of Christmas and Santa Clause. It tells about a story of Scott Calvin who transformed from the role of an ordinary divorced father to the worldwide beloved Santa Clause. The story sheds lights on secrets of toy factory and the elf town in the North Pole. It depicts how Scott Calvin overcame the difficulties of assuming Santa Clause's job and finally decided to act in line with a qualified Mr. Santa. This is a magical movie aimed at the children to extend Christmas joyful sentiments. The introduction of the part of the parents adds to the success of this Christmas comedy.

The Polar Express 2004

This 3D computer generated motion pictures describe the extraordinary journey to the North Pole. It conveys the pure crystal dream of children in which they believe the elf world and Santa Clause do exist in the North Pole and they would receive gifts made in the toy factory and deliver by Santa Clause. The movie also appeals people to keep a pure belief in Christmas legend so as to have a happy time over Christmas.

Bad Santa 2004

This is an exception of the movies which give good pictures of Santa Clause delivering gifts on his reindeer sleigh. It has nothing to do with the Christmas legend and North Pole, but the story of two misdoers committing all kinds of bad things one can imagine in the cover of Santa Clause and an elf. Finally they were awaken by an eight-year-old boy and came to realize the truth and spirit of Christmas. They forwent the bad deeds and became good people.

Love Actually 2003

This is a good film with an affectionate theme. It tells the stories of love affairs happened on different people in different places in the days just before Christmas. With the scenes of success, joy, luck, sincerity and harmony, the movie is brimming with love that actually can be spread like a fire to all people whether they know each other or not. Watching the movie can also ignite the fire of love in your heart and have everything done smoothly with love around Christmas.

Elf

Elf is a warm-hearted Christmas comedy that tells a story of a baby boy who was mistakenly brought to the North Pole in Santa Clause's bag. He grew up in the elf world and had a wish to go back to his true family in New York. When he returned, he discovered the world was not as peaceful as he had imagined. The Christmas was losing its influence on the busy and lack of affection New Yorkers. He decided to help the world resume the sentimental path which the world was walking off.

Another malicious worm jumps on jailbroken iPhone

2009-11-29T19:10:00.000-08:00

A latest detected worm targeted jailbroken iPhone can allow hackers to control the phone from remote terminal. The worm could plague the illegally modified (jailbroken) iPhone by spreading through the Wi-Fi network with iPhones sharing the same Wi-Fi spot. It is reported that the worm only affects jailbroken iPhone, because the user modifies the phone system to allow for unauthorized code execution.

Users jailbreak their iPhone in order to install some cool applications from third-party developers, applications that are usually not approved by Apple. Some immoral authors would sneak harmful codes or Trojans in the seemingly safe application to exploit the loopholes. Since the iPhone's security measures are disabled after jailbreak, the phone is very vulnerable to security breach in a circumstance that user may not be aware of.

Similar offenses have been revealed before. Ikee, which behavior is employed by this latest unnamed worm but not malicious, only changes the wallpaper on affected iPhone to a picture of 1980s pop star Rick Astley, who sang the 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up." The prediction over a new stronger morph of Ikee coming on heel is now completely proven. This morph comes with botnet functionality that will hand over the phone control to the hacker on the remote side beyond the user's consciousness.

Fortunately, the worm for the moment only knocks down iPhones that has SSH installed and default password "alpine" unchanged. Those who get infected are living in Netherlands and bank with ING Direct. But anti-virus experts voiced the possibility that this worm could spread to other regions.

The only safe solution is not to let your iPhone run unauthorized codes. With more hackers exploiting loopholes by taking advantage of unauthorized code, the future worms or Trojans on iPhone will become more and more difficult to detect and isolate. Experts suggest that user should upgrade their iPhone OS to date and not jailbreak their iPhone if they don't necessary need to.

2012, the near perfect art of disastrous cinematic creation

2009-11-23T23:07:00.000-08:00

As of today, I have heard people talking much about the latest masterpiece of disastrous film, 2012. It represents the state-of-the-art cinematic technology to create real-world scenes out of digital works. As a fan of disastrous film, I couldn't help wait but catch a chance to see 2012 in theater yesterday. The visual effect is fabulous. The impact is so incredibly strong that you can almost believe the world would collapse like that in the film. I hereby strongly recommend you to see 2012. If you are a disastrous film fanatic, 2012 is an eye candy for you. If you are a curious fence-sitter, 2012 can immediately raise your interest in disaster ventures. If you are just a passer-by, 2012 can pull you into the thought of what would happen three years from now.

All in all, 2012 is catching eyeballs around the world for its near perfect cinematic creations. The film embraces quite a lot of disastrous mayhems: volcano eruption, earthquake, tsunami, meteor rain and hurricane. We can see how weak our grand civilization is when challenging natural forces. The city with million populations is broken into several pieces and sinks into the ocean. Powerful and formidable as it is, an aircraft carrier is subdued by a huge wave and perishes together with the White House. Himalayas, the highest mountain in the world is flooded by gigantic tsunami. All of these special effects are made come true by the advanced digital technology. They have reached an incredible level of reality compared to the old popular disastrous film Judgment Day and The Day After Tomorrow.

Though the earth in 2012 is heavily damaged, the one in reality has not yet. So don't be too immersed into the scenario the film depicted, neither ignorant of the problems we have had. The Mayan calendar ending in 2012 is not necessarily referred to the end of the world. In fact, the global warming, air pollution, forest destruction, heavy population and food shortage among many other problems are the most emergent ones we should begin to fix immediately. If we do not act to protect our earth now, it will very likely be destroyed by ourselves rather than the natural disasters.

Watch out - smoking might render your Applecare warranty invalid

2009-11-23T00:33:00.000-08:00

A post from Consumerist suggests that smoking can not only harm your health but probably void your Applecare warranty. This curious incident rose as two Apple customers were declined to have their Mac machines repaired under their active warranty because of smoking tar found on their machines.

The two separate Apple customers were refused at Apple's care center when they were requesting repair for their damaged Mac machines. They were both told later the repair would not carry out because the machines were contaminated by hazardous substances, namely, smokings. As was explained by the stuff of Apple's care center, Apple deems repairing a contaminated machine is hazardous to its employee's health thus forbids it. The two customers were advised to repair their machines somewhere else at their own expense.

The two customers admitted smoking when using the machine but found no terms in Apple's warranty to block smokers from warranty coverage. They then wrote letters directly to Jobs's office to appeal the case but the act was in vain.

It is reasonable for Apple to safeguard the health of its employees by preventing them from working on hazardous machines and it seems Apple does a stiff carry out of this rule. Anyone who wants to avoid being in the same case would have to consider no smoking while using Apple's products, for example, iMac, Macbook, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, etc.

But it is not clearly known how it could be considered voiding the warranty by smoking. So watch out, smokers. If your Apple machine carries obvious residue of smoking, you will be very likely to go into big headache when your machine is out of work.

iPhone OS 3.0 sports high extensibility on hardware component

2009-11-17T21:53:00.000-08:00

Lately, a physical scientist from NASA has announced success in creating and connecting an external chemical sensor to iPhone at OS ver 3.0. The sensor is a piece of chip circuit board at a size of a postal stamp. It is connected to iPhone via its 30-pin dock connector and communicates with a dedicated application run on iPhone OS 3.0. The sensor is said to be able to detect several chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine gas and methane.

iPhone has been adding up credits on its flexibility on software and hardware extensions. Besides over 20,000 game and entertainment apps available via Apple App Store, third-party software makers are flocking to contribute multifarious programs for this all-purpose handset. iPhone's superior multi-touch design, stylus-free 3.5" wide screen, optimal programming environment and easy extensibility are the stimulus for the creative and innovative ideas sparked towards it. We have seen people on the bus, in the street playing iPhone as a game device. We may be not surprised with the fact that iPhone's dear twin iPod is frequently favored by the U.S. Army as a field translator in local Iraq. But we may be interested in some odd occasion where iPhone is used. It is like English famous painter David Hockney who developed his inspirations drawing on his iPhone. And now it seems it will reduce the need to manufacture expensive chemical sensor devices and iPhone is just equally functional with just a compact chip plug-in.

We may now all bear the same question: where will iPhone go? Since it is so universally welcomed with ingenious design in its blood, I am sure it will collect more usability and become more like an infinite transformable device in the future.

Film review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

2009-11-15T19:41:00.000-08:00

As the sixth sequel of Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince seems like a transition rather than an intriguing promotion upon its predecessors to meet expectations.

Unlike the previous sequels, the plots of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince develop in quite a loose style, like a glass hitting the ground, which compromises the cohesion to the key plot, the relations between Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The story continues in this sixth sequel featuring the adolescent life of Harry Potter, Malfoy's undercover conspiracy, the memory about the early age of Tom Riddle (Voldemort) and Dumbledore's adventure to vanquish the devil, seemingly in no connection with the theme. It is not until the end of the film has Professor Snape declared his true identity as Half-Blood Prince, reminding the audience of the film title. This could really enrage fans of Harry Potter with such a perfunctory plot design. In fact, the sixth volume of Harry Potter series does need to shed more lights on the stories that are going to make sense for the finale in the seventh volume. So it turns out with fewer curiosities this time which can probably be regarded as the most ordinary sequel of all Harry Potter film so far.

However, we are still happy to see the grown up of the three magical youngsters in this sequel and tap into their love affairs at school. Despite the plotting, I think Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is still worth our time to sit back and watch.

For special watch on portable players like iPod/iPhone, Zune, PSP, I recommend you use Leawo Video Converter to customize the video to the best visual enjoyment.

Leawo Video Converter customize feature guide:

1. Audiovisual effect enhancement
2. Cut video segment
3. Remove video black margins
4. Add watermark
5. Capture video screenshot
6. Fine-tune video codec settings

iPod touch hits the game market hard and force Nintendo DS to find another way out

2009-11-12T19:27:00.000-08:00

Originally being recognized as a long award-winning portable music player, iPod touch has now made its way into game player market where it will be in direct competition with Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Nintendo has expressed concern on the future on its DS player if iPod touch would decide to attack its market share.

How has iPod touch become a game machine more than a music player? It has to say even the music player maker didn't know the direction they would ride in. They are somehow embarrassed by iPod being a gaming machine rather than proud of it, and they wished it was something else.

It is the similar design to iPhone that makes iPod touch completely capable to run all game titles on App Store after sync via iTunes. The hardware specification endows the latest model of iPod with excellent performance to run multifarious applications. People who have owned an iPod touch are benefited from the abundant game and entertainment titles numbered 21,179 on App Store, looking down at 3680 titles for the Nintendo DS and 607 for the Sony PSP. It can't deny the fact that people are happy with the prolificacy of the player maker.

Nintendo DS reached its peak in market share over the last two years by its innovative and interactive control design. Now it seems iPod touch along with iPhone is going to be threat which has cut DS's sales by half. Nintendo's CEO remarked Nintendo must work to stand out from devices like iPhone/iPod touch.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: a Hollywood Movie Apt for Bedtime Watching

2009-09-15T02:16:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen someone living a reverse life? It does certainly not happen in the mentally sane world, but only in fabricated stories. I strongly recommend you see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to get an idea of how Hollywood can make such a mythical story real to life.

The main character Benjamin of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a freaky baby when he was born on the day when the WWI was over. Because of his terrible look, Benjamin was immediately abandoned by his father. An elder’s nursery kindly took him and he was fortunate to have a home there. But he looked so old that people all predicted he would die soon. On the contrary, Benjamin was incredibly getting younger as he grew up, while people around him were getting older, weaker and at last gone. Benjamin started the romance with his dear childhood playmate Daisy and life seemed to liven up. As merciless as from the beginning, fate once again broke the happy bubbles. Benjamin met his best period in his 40s but his body never stopped to get younger. He started to get confusion as his intelligence fell within the level of teenagers and finally dies as a baby.

So this is an amazing story of a man who is living from old to young. If you ever have dreamt of such experiences, maybe you would get a good experience from this movie as a bystander. For a story that is so attractive and the plots so delicately composed, why don’t you just put it to your iPod and watch it on bedtime? The silent night makes a perfect watching ambience for this movie.

I have already used Leawo Video Converter to do the trick. It helps me to output the proper video format required by my iPod. It plays excellent on my iPod and I still keep the movie for a third review. If you have the DVD of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Leawo DVD Ripper may come in handy for the job.

Showing comments on the hot movie "Ice Age III"

2009-07-12T23:50:00.000-07:00

My friends told me the 3D digital animated movie “Ice Age III” got the same box-office receipts as the movie “Transformers 2” last week. Frankly, I do not care about which one has the best box office receipts, after all, so many commercial movies are not worth watching.

Faced with fierce competition, “Ice Age III” demonstrates its humorous plots which attract more and more people to view it. Definitely, the audience are exactly enthusiastic, at least, they show their earnest thoughts when watching the movie. Meanwhile, the questioned voice appears once and again.

North American critics are relatively hard on "Ice Age 3". It is said that the movie has fallen directly into the ranks of the bad chip. "Washington Post" said, “this is a charming animated film, but its overall presentation and effectiveness of the circumstances of the application are quite satisfactory, when compared with the previous two, the biggest loss is the loss of the amazing flu and the impact.” "USA Today" said, 'Ice Age 3' did not make things brighten because the whole movie plots are trying to enlarge advantages of the first two, making the final results show a considerable incentive." "Wall Street Reporter "and most mainstream film critics," Comparison of the film mediocre script, so in addition to the technical level, the light does not shine. "

Maybe “Ice Age III” is a bit boring, but this movie can bring me entertainment with my iPhone, more or less.

Use iPhone to watch the hot movie "Ice Age III: Dawn of the Dinosaurs"

2009-07-10T01:21:00.000-07:00

Have you ever watched the 3D digital animated movie "Ice Age III"? Definitely a wonderful movie in these days.

With the collapse of large areas of glaciers, ice age eventually becomes a history! You and our players have begun to form their own families. But the squirrels Sid is still the squirrels Sid, there will be an event before us as long as he hit the scene! He even got a few dinosaur eggs!

A dramatic turn: a giant dinosaur came up at a sudden, and Sid immediately became a prisoner of the dinosaur. For the sake of their friends, the other three bid farewell to their wives and kids, and back on the path to save Sid. But the trouble this time is far beyond their imagination. To their surprise, Sid was taken to a magical underground world, where isolated the world. Here, the air humid, warm climate. It blocked the Ice Age cold wind, so a large group of ferocious dinosaurs appeared in the front of them …

I do not like watching movie in cinema, crowd and noise! On the contrary, I'd like to watch it at home, not computer but iPhone. Of course, I exactly know the way to put movies to iPhone. Frankly, "Ice Age III" is an excellent movie which brings the audient happiness and enjoyment. I am sure you will like this movie if you watch it!

Enjoy Transformers 2 on iPhone, just for fun!

2009-07-07T19:06:00.000-07:00

Hey, guys. Have you ever watched the hot movie "Transformers 2"? Yes, it is being released all over the world. So how do you like this movie? Fantastic? Shocking? Classic or Boring? Haha, we each have our private views about the movie.

I watched this hot movie with my iPhone, do you know how to transfer movies to iPhone? Uh, as far as I am concerned, it is no use discussing whether the hot movie "Transformers 2" has essence or not, after all, Michael Bay is the director. I believe, so many people know that Michael Bay is one of the most famous commercial directors in Hollywood, even in the world. "The End of the World", "Pearl Harbor", these two famous movies are both directed by him.

"Transformers 2" just brings the audience sense enjoyment, anyway, the more we consume, the more they'll benefit. Of course, there are some action scenes and special movie effects as well as the powerful military of the U.S in this popular movie. Just think carefully about it, full-box office, high out of the box office is very illustrative. Who cares about the development of the story, and even I am not interested in the number of transformers robots.

Commonly, I'm a consumer, so I prefer to care about the process of viewing the movie. The movie brings me visual impact about two and a half hours, you can at least kill your time to some extent. Do not think about too much, relax, at least when the "Transformers 3" comes into the cinema, I will definitely sit down to watch it.

How can I get a smaller file size to save space?
Time duration and bit rate decide the file size. You may try to adjust these parameters for a smaller file size. The shorter the time duration, the smaller the file size is. The lower the bit rate, the smaller the file size is. However, the video quality may be worse, if with a lower bit rate. Please do some test conversions for a proper video codec.

An interesting topic, right? I sent a placard last week in order to know people’s intention of owning an iPhone. To my surprise, I received some comments on my placard when signing in my forum this morning. Okay, I wanna share some interesting comments with you.

spark says:
For me, the cellphone-in-a-iPod bundling is why I bought it, but the Calendar and Contacts is why I love it. It's the best mobile calendar app out there bar none. The other biggies are Google Maps and GMail integration. I'm still on an original 8G model, but I would upgrade immediately for a removable battery option. In case any Apple eng is reading this, the only change I'd make to Cal is to allow for left and right finger swipes to change days instead of having to pinpoint the arrows with your fingertip.

playboy says:
Prior to buying an iPhone, my cell phone was constantly getting lost or broken. I just didn't use it and when I did I would leave it somewhere. All my friends were confused about how I was into every other technology except cell phones. Now I use my iPhone constantly and rarely leave my house without it. I do use the data features about 90% of the time compared to talking. So maybe I am still not a real cell phone user.
