AVI, or Audio Video Interleave, is a very common format for storing video data on personal computers. When you compress raw video on your computer, most often the output is given in the AVI form. But sometimes you may need to convert AVI to MP4.

Despite popular notions to the contrary, the AVI is not a certain type of video encoding. The AVI is merely a container format for any kind of video. The video data stream inside may have been encoded by any of the popular codec types, or even not encoded at all. In fact, some video cams and TV capture cards offer you the option of saving the data in the form of an AVI file. But in most cases you’ll find that the file saved thus is not compressed. Uncompressed or raw video is massive, and half an hour of full-screen video captured through your TV card can completely fill up even your modern, high-density hard disk drive. Which is why video compression is necessary in the first place.

The word MP4, on the other hand, can refer either to a container format, or a video encoding algorithm. Most often, however, MP4 files consist of MP4 containers containing MP4-encoded video. Some AVI containers contain MP4-video, too.

Why and when should you need to convert AVI to MP4? Suppose you see a movie on your friend’s computer that you like. You want to get a copy from him, but you want to watch it on your way to work perhaps, or in some other situation that makes it necessary to put the movie on your hand-held portable video device. Perhaps you have a latest, fifth-generation iPod, also known as the video iPod, or maybe a Sony PSP, and you want to watch the movie on it. How do you go about it?

Both the video iPod and the PSP, not to mention many similar portable video devices, use MP4 as their native multimedia file format. Apple’s online music store iTunes sells its music and video in the MP4 format. In order to be able to watch a video on your portable device, you need to convert AVI to MP4. There are many freely downloadable programs out there that enable you to do this. A simple search on any popular search engine will give you scores of valid links.

Your collection of DVD movies may be very well chosen and extensive, but still they are somewhat limited by the medium format. You can only watch a DVD on a DVD player or on your computer. But what if you wanted to watch some of them on the move, while you commuted every day to work, for instance? In that case you shall have to think of ways of encoding your DVD-s into some other, portable format. And this is exactly why you would want to convert DVD to PSP.
Sony’s PlayStation Portable, or PSP, is a wonderful gadget. Not only can it provide you with hours of entertainment with fun games, but it can also play movies! How cool an experience it is to be able to play games non-stop, and then when your fingers are tired of pressing the buttons or toggling the switches continuously, to be able to switch smoothly to watching the latest blockbuster from Hollywood!

But where do you get movies for the PSP? Sony has created a new form of disc for the PSP, known as the Universal Media Disc. Many movie companies used to release new movies in UMD form, for the benefit of PSP users. But recently this trend has slackened somewhat. For financial and other reasons, many of these companies have stopped releasing for the PSP. So finding new titles for this versatile little hand-held may be more difficult nowadays than it was a year or more ago. This is one more reason why you should learn to convert DVD to PSP.

DVD video is only lightly compressed, which is why it can provide such great resolution and picture quality. But the screen of a hand-held device is much smaller than that of a TV or a computer monitor, so you don’t need as much resolution or density. There are high-quality compression programs available for free on the internet which can convert DVD to PSP. By reducing screen aspect and through other methods, they can produce a very small file for the PSP which you can put on the device through its memory stick. In this way, you can enjoy all your favorite movies on the move, without having to invest a lot on the latest overpriced portable movie player!

Did you know that the English language has an estimated vocabulary of 800,000words? (Words R. McRoberts) We have words to describe every object,movement, feeling and thought on the planet; we can pinpoint each little nuanceof meaning, simply by choosing the right word for the right spot.Language isn’t something that remains static – it’s a living thing that grows andchanges to meet our needs. We create new words to describe and explain newobjects and concept – just consider the number of words that have come into thelanguage as a result of technological developments over the past decade. Wordslike Internet and fax are common-place now; we all recognise the abbreviationWWW and children around the world know what Pokemon means. Shakespeare, who was one of our most prolific and enduring writers, usedapproximately 22,000 different words in his published works. Well-educatedpeople today, use about 5,000 different words when speaking and about 10,000in their writing. Most of us have a ‘working vocabulary’ of 2,000 (which means thatthere are over 788, 000 words that are gathering dust on the shelves of ourminds). Of those 2,000 words, the most commonly used are: the, of, and, to, a,in, that, is, I, it.Those ten little words (and I do mean little), account for 25% of all speech.There are fifty words, which make up 60% of everything we say – and only two ofthese have more than one syllable … which brings us to … “stuff”. Why oh why (oh WHY) do otherwise professional sites use this term? Surelywith 800,000+ words to choose from, it’s possible to find a term to describe morespecifically what is being offered.The experts are always advising web owners to offer visitors something for free -and rightly so – this is a unique medium of communication. It’s fast, widelyaccessible and almost ridiculously inexpensive when you consider thetechnology involved – so it should be used for the free exchange of ideas andinformation wherever possible. If you visit ten web sites at random, you’ll find more than half will have a link to”Free Stuff” – regardless of the nature of the site, the link will read “Free Stuff”. Looking for graphics? Click on “Free Stuff”.Looking for information on black holes or quantum physics? “Free Stuff’ will takeyou to it.Need a dietary plan for diabetics? Try clicking on “Free Stuff”.Aargh!Enough “stuff”!”Stuff” indicates a lazy mind – one that can’t be bothered spending a second ortwo scouring the memory banks for a precise term. Think for a moment aboutwhat you are offering for free – then use those words to describe this on your link.Your visitors will appreciate knowing that they can find: a trial program a sample sales letter a series of articles on how to do whatever it is you do so well graphics a mousepad a video a diet links to related sites a template for a web page design a report on how to be a squillionaire or whatever it is you’re giving them. Don’t make them guess. So dust off the cobwebs and start using a few more words – your visitors willappreciate your thoughtfulness.

When photos and video are used to improve maintenance! New program makes this easy. Content-Type: text/html Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 1

Yonkers, NY (ContentDesk) March 20 2004–? CAE Consultants Inc., recently released Easy Plant Maintenance 1.3, a powerful multimedia solution that helps maintenance managers use the power of digital photos and video to track maintenance. Traditional programs were text based only, but EPM allows maintenance personnel to use digital cameras to quickly record maintenance actions.????Photos are great tools to illustrate procedures, which are also kept up-to-date by this program. Procedures change daily, and Easy Plant Maintenance recognizes that text alone does not explain every detail. With Easy Plant Maintenance you can include a video of a procedure, as well as text and this procedure can change with each cycle. So, when you review your history of maintenance, not only will review text and numbers, but a series of videos that may reveal how things were done in the past.?With today?s digital photographic and video technology, we can document maintenance in detail. Few programs handle large files as EPM, based on FileMaker, a widely used multimedia database program.?EPM is currently being used by wastewater plants and small businesses to keep their maintenance on track. In addition to the multi-media procedure documentation capabilities, EPM also provides historical analysis, man hour projections and many other features for an affordable price that starts at $375. And, the program can be shared on a network.For additional information, and free trial, visit

(ContentDesk) July 4, 2004 — Sekenia Williams, A Man in Business~Playwright and Author of “Soul Expoesd”Sekenia Williams, Letter of Introduction:Born in Suffolk, Virginia, Author, Director, Producer, Playwriter, songwriter, Fashion Show Producer, Sekenia Williams has become one of the most veratile figures in the entertainment industry; with a powerful new book out “Soul Exposed”, as well as working as an arranger, producer, talent scout, agent and Model Agency Owner. He first performed as part of a family singing group, Sha Sha and the Tots, he concentrated on writing directing, producing, songwriting and production. His distinctive style of writing landed him a publishing deal with Author house, and his new autobigraphy “Soul Exposed” has brought him even wider exposure, offers from movie companies, record companies and other publishers.

Before we talk about what it takes to be a cheap and good quality web host, let?s get to the fundamental first.

What is a Web Host?

A web host is a service provider that places your web site on a computer which is connected to the internet. The term for this ?computer? is called a server.

A web hosting provider will typically have a fast connection to the Internet and they may host thousands of web sites on many servers. The web host essentially rents out space to you so that you can get your website up on the world wide web.

With a well-managed web host, you can free yourself from worrying the up-keep of complicated server technology and proper technical maintenance. That?s the whole purpose of the web hosting companies. You should leave the technical work to web hosting professional while you focus on your own internet business.

Let?s begin…

Feature Offered

The features that web hosting companies are offering are getting quite standard nowadays.

The followings are some of the common features you’ll see in most web hosting plans:

• Control Panel Control Panel is an interface where you can access your site on the web server, allowing you to set-up and subsequently update and customize your web site. Though cPanel is by far the most popular control panel, some hosting providers customize their own so that they can up-grade and expand it at will.
• Diskspace A vast majority of sites that don’t have tons of graphics, sound and video clips or downloadable files easily fit in 50 MB of disk space. You should always leave yourself some room for growth or check if the host has a bigger plan in case you need to upgrade.
• Bandwidth Bandwidth is the amount of data transmitted or received through a unit of time. In web hosting, bandwidth is consumed when visitors make requests for files on your web site and download them to their personal computers.
• Email Account With POP3 email accounts you can check email from Outlook, Netscape Mail, Eudora or any other Email software.
• Scripting language As all our top 10 listings are using Unix and Linux platform, php, perl and CGI are the languages we are talking about here. It is best to choose a host that supports the latest version to maximize the latest web technologies for the fee that you pay.
• Database If your web site is going to store a lot of data that should be dynamically accessible (like user accounts, stock prices, maps, Interactive news, message boards and forum etc.), you’ll need to look for an account that offers a database. MySQL is a powerful and most popular database program that runs on the Linux operation system. It is able to handle million of entries all at once. Its flexibility and speed allow you to also store logs and pictures. MySQL is designed to scale well under heavy traffic conditions and is ideal for database-intensive or e-commerce-enabled Web sites.

Customer Service/Support

No matter if you are an expert or a novice in web hosting, you need a web host with good customer support system. What is the criteria of an excellent customer support? Let us explain.

• How big is the knowledge base? This is particularly important for those who want to search for quick answer without seeking direct assistance from customer support staff. Due to the huge database, normally it?s searchable. Some web hosting providers will even make your life easier by making a video tutorial guiding you step by step in setting up your new account. Very useful for beginner.

• Responsive customer service staff. If you are too lazy to find the answer out of a big pool of database, get the direct answer from someone who knows it. Direct customer support comes in a few forms. a. Email support b. Phone support: Normally, sales and technical support uses separate phone line. A good phone support staff knows what your problem is and answers with relevance. c.Web Host like Lunarpages and Globat even have live chat support. However, it?s not how many support channels that are available but how responsive it is of the staff. You can find out the
  
  hosting reviews and ratings
  
  of each of our Top 10 Cheap Web Host.

Price to Disk Space / Price to Bandwidth Ratio

Are you paying too much for your Web Hosting Plan? Having done the research on hundreds of web hosting companies, in general, we?ve come to this conclusion: the more disk space and bandwidth you are getting, the more expensive is the monthly price.

To help you understand which price is competitive enough for you to take up the offer, we have categorized 5 different price range. For each price range, a score of maximum of 10 is assigned. To understand the concept behind this, please refer to the details

here.

Popularity

A web host might have the best feature offered, unbeatable customer support and reliability in place but without an effective marketing plan, it will go bust too. Let?s face it. If a web hosting provider does not have sufficient members and steady growth of new members, it?s very difficult to survive in this highly competitive industry.

We judge the popularity of a particular web hosting provider by looking at the number of awards won, the reviews of other websites and the Alexa traffic ranking.

All the hosting providers listed on our Top 10 Cheap Web Hosting Directory are among the top 40,000 most visited websites in the world.

Reliability, Speed and Uptime Guarantee

Nothing can hurt you more than this: your visitors come to your web site only to find that it?s not accessible. You lose credibility and possibly even a sale. If your web host does not guarantee at least a 99% uptime, leave the web host now!

To ensure maximum uptime, installation of redundant back-up systems is essential. Each web host has their own management systems to minimize downtime. “Redundant” means that if any of the Internet connections get interrupted, the alternate Internet connection will take over.

We use Alertra software to monitor the uptime of each of our top 10 web hosts.

As for speed, even though routing, web server set up and local area networks play a part in determining the speed of a site, the main concern of how fast your site is depends very much on the types of network connections.

Many hosting providers still connect to the Internet through T1, or T3 connections. This is not the case for our top 10 hosts- they are using OC (Optical Carrier) lines.

A T1 line will offer data transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps (megabits per second), while a T3 line can supply data transfer rates of 43Mbps. OC-1 refers to a circuit that transmits 51.85Mbps. Higher levels are multiples of that speed. Ultra-High Speed OC3 and OC12 lines offers 155Mbps and 622Mbps respectively. Some hosting providers have connections to major internet backbones at the speed of OC48 (2488Mbps) and OC96 (4976Mbps).

Encino, CA (ContentDesk) October 15, 2003 — In an era where many reality shows disappear as quickly as they arrive, get ready for more surprises from a reality television brand whose franchise has stood the test of time. Vin Di Bona, Creator, Director and Executive Producer of the long time hit reality show America’s Funniest Home Videos and his business partner, Tammy Treglia, are pleased to announce their company, Hollywood Licensing of Encino, California. Hollywood Licensing is an entertainment licensing agency representing the owners of film and video libraries as well as television shows, celebrities, celebrity estates, corporate brands and other unique specialty artists. Bringing a vast 35 year entertainment career to Hollywood Licensing, Co-Chairman Di Bona is a pioneer in comedic reality programming. The Emmy Award winning producer is also a member of the steering committee for The Caucus for Television Producers, Writers and Directors in Los Angeles. In addition to America?s Funniest Home Videos, Di Bona has produced hundreds of hours of network and cable programming including ?America?s Funniest People, ? ?Sherman Oaks,? ?Maximum Drive,? and ?I Survived a Disaster.? Co-Chairman Tammy Treglia brings to the company over a decade’s worth of expertise in the area of entertainment licensing and business affairs. Previously, Treglia served as Executive Vice President of Business Affairs and New Media for Vin Di Bona Productions (VDBP). Prior to VDBP, Treglia began her career in Business Affairs departments at New World Entertainment and Hearst Entertainment in Los Angeles. At New World, she oversaw the implementation of all licensing directives for a vast array of New World?s publicly owned companies. This year’s fall television schedule will mark the 14th year of side-splitting “caught on tape” hilarity when America’s Funniest Home Videos returns to tickle the funny bones of audiences of all ages. Throughout America’s Funniest Home Videos fourteen year history, from the Bob Saget years to hosts Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang and now with Hollywood Squares host Tom Bergeron introducing the funny clips, creator Di Bona is pleased that his show has maintained some of the highest ratings on any network in the area of “family programming.” As reality television has gotten more risque in past years, America’s Funniest Home Videos continues its family friendly programming, while consistently scoring top ratings. After years of success in licensing the America’s Funniest Home Videos clip library for a vast range of opportunities, Di Bona and Treglia launched Hollywood Licensing to expand the use of the America’s Funniest Home Videos library footage, while creating a licensing and merchandising agency available to other intellectual property owners. As most licensors already know, new technology in many product lines often requires use of ?funny video clips.? Hollywood Licensing is uniquely positioned in that they have been long time experts in the area of licensing ?specialty footage.? Seeking to exploit this background, new and emerging technologies are of particular interest to their clients. The strongest interest in footage from America’s Funniest Home Videos has traditionally come from the advertising community seeking more “advertainment” impact in their commercials. The company’s work with major ad agencies to license clips from the America’s Funniest Home Videos library has resulted in great laughs in many commercials. Some of the more memorable examples were seen in ads for All Detergent, Midway Home Entertainment, Southwest Airlines and Bounty Paper towels; all of which used funny home videos to great effect. Hollywood Licensing is currently looking for opportunities in Advertising and Marketing Campaigns as well as all forms of emerging New Media, including: video cell phone usage, Video Games, all electronic products and mobile media, Internet Syndication, Viral E-mail Campaigns and Electronic Billboards. ?I am thrilled to continue working with Vin to expand the America?s Funniest Home Videos brand into new and existing markets. He is a hands on creative force who is truly inspirational,? Treglia said. Hollywood Licensing is pleased to announce a new partnership to represent two animated properties created by the legendary, Stan Lee (creator of Spiderman, The Hulk etc). These properties are entitled ?The Accuser? and ?The Drifter? and were originally created and produced by Lee for the now-defunct Stan Lee Media web portal. ?The Drifter? features a time traveling protagonist while ?The Accuser? is about an attorney whose murdering client goes free. ?As numerous produced episodes already exist, first on our agenda is to take the properties back to the internet and to the ever changing realm of new media. Stan Lee is the master artist of his genre, and we feel these works from Stan Lee Media will prove to be the phoenix rising from the ashes of the now defunct web portal,? explains Treglia.In addition to funny home video clips, Hollywood Licensing also licenses extreme sports clips. Corporate client Red Bull Communications, maker of the popular sports drink, maintains one of the largest and most exciting collections of extreme sports clips from their worldwide events. The footage can be licensed for a multitude of venues, similar to the areas of exploitation being sought for America’s Funniest Home Videos. ?There is nothing bigger in today?s youth market than extreme sports and Red Bull is the leader of the pack when it comes to professional quality extreme sports clips,? says Treglia. Additionally, Hollywood Licensing is very pleased to announce its representation of the estates of both Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney, Jr. Hollywood Licensing is pursuing all available licensing opportunities for the estate of Lon and Lon Jr. for their outstanding work in the horror genre. Hollywood Licensing is very enthusiastic about working with the Chaney estate because their legendary artistry stands alone in film history. A unique addition to the roster is Mission Style furniture designer, Gustav Stickley, III, grandson of the renowned visionary of the same name who founded the early 1900′s Arts and Crafts Movement. ?Mr. Stickley trained directly with his grandfather in the art of quarter sawn oak furniture and has been providing his Mission style pieces on a special order basis for years. His work includes clocks, desks, household furniture, lamps, frames and any other imaginable accessory. We felt he was a natural for larger merchandising and licensing opportunities. While his grandfather?s original works sell at antiques auctions for impressive sums, Mr. Stickley, III?s pieces are reasonably priced and are stamped in the same manner as his grandfather?s for collectable purposes,? says Treglia.Contact Information:Tammy Treglia Hollywood Licensing, LLCTel: 818-906-9333Fax: 818-906-9336
