Awesome Techs

Here I am writing a review for one of the best video converter software I have ever tried.

Look & Feel

The software has got very nice look and feel. the way they’ve worked on the buttons and other graphics are simply incredible. One look at the software and we are a fan of it. The Video Preview window, the button to start the conversion, the option for selecting the presets and the button for customizing the presets, etc everything is arranged very neatly and in a proper way. Overall its very easy on the eyes too.

Feature Sets

First of all I will have to write about the extensive file type support they are having. I would say they support almost all possible file types one person would ever use. AVI, MPEG-1,2, MP4, WMV, ASF, 3GP (3GPP), 3G2 (3GPP2), MOV (QT), MKV, FLV, DVD (VOB, IFO), MOD, DAT, M2T (MTS), VRO, HTML5 (WebM, OGV), MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, AAC, FLAC, Monkey’s Audio, etc to name a few.

It has lots of other feature sets such as capturing any frame, converting an entire dvd or a group of files, converting through command line, sharing online, uploading to psp, adding water mark to the videos etc. Along with these options this video converter do have all those options which are common to almost all the other converters. For example, cropping, increasing brightness etc.

There are lots of predefined presets for converting the videos. These number of presets are large enough to include almost all standard video resolutions, and almost all standard devices such as ipad, ipod touch, iphone, microsoft zune, all android devices, samsung, PSP, Nokia, BlackBerry, etc.

This application has one added advantage of making use of the graphics adapter of our system to speed up the whole conversion process. As of now this feature support only for nvidia powered systems. I hope they will add their support also to the other manufactures’ graphics adapters soon. For now I say I am quite more than just satisfied for these options.

There is also an option to add the converted videos or audios directly to the itunes library using this application.

Overall Verdict

The application developers have done a very good job in my opinion. They have created a masterpiece with almost all the options one could include in a video converter. For now they are providng this tool for free as a 30 day trial version. I hope you download this video converter and check it out.

Nokia has started a charger exchange program, offering free replacements to anyone with a potentially dodgy charger.

Nokia recently found out a problem with their chargers with potentially shocking results. The problem apparently is that the plastic cover comes loose exposing the internal components.

Affected units include the AC-3E and AC-3U models, manufactured between 15 June and 9 August, and the AC-4U model, manufactured between 13 April and 25 October.

Theregister Reported.

Although Nokia branded, the chargers are manufactured by one of its third-party suppliers and it is thought that around 14 million units are in service.

You’re a Person who  usually search something in google using your Nokia phone, then this is a good news for you. Because now google developed an application which comes with Google Apps for mobile by which we can tell our mobile to search something.

The best thing about this is, Google voice search is location aware, so that you can just give queries in your native language. Also it is not limited to simple search queries.

Google India Blog says,

Downloading the Google Mobile App places a shortcut to Google search on your Nokia phone’s home screen. It’s now fast and easy to search for anything on the Internet. Holding down the call button activates voice search so you can speak your query. Search by voice is not limited to simple queries. Try complex queries like — “pictures of gateway of India”, “what is the length of a cricket pitch”, or even something very Indian like “makki ki roti and sarson ka saag recipe”.

You can also type queries quickly thanks to Google Suggest, which provides search suggestions for common queries. You can search for anything — from “kebab corner” to “coffee shop”.
Whether you’re in Bangalore or Gurgaon, you can turn on the My Location feature to give you the most relevant results nearby.
