Tivo's Hidden Web Server Dave Zantz is up to his TiVo hacking tricks again. He informs us that TiVo Series 2 DVRs have a hidden web server integrated into the system that allows remote access to stored video content. Dave says, “it’s no Slingbox, but for many people it doesn’t require any additional equipment or expense.” So how does it work? Nice work! Filed in: Software Videora - BitTorrent RSS Reader HOW-TO: Turn your laptop into a home security system - Engadget - www.engadget.com In light of recent events, we thought it might be a good idea to show you how to whip up a low-cost home surveillance system. Not only is this system useful for nabbing burglars, British or otherwise, but it can also be used to check in on your pets (warm-blooded or robotic), or merely to provide some added piece of mind that house and home are still standing. With almost any generic webcam and some relatively cheap software, you can set up a motion-detecting security camera, a periodically refreshed image of your home interior/exterior, or even a live video feed direct from the excitement of your empty living room. You never know who you might catch in there someday. Ingredients This is what you'll need to launch your own personal branch of the Department of Homestead Security: Mac or PC. Let's dive in! Home security camera: Mac We're going to set up our software to detect motion, and perform a series of actions based on that trigger. First, download and install the EvoCam software. Wrap up

Camera Phone Moblog Community | Textamerica.com. How-To: Get TV shows off of your TiVo and onto your iPod (with video) This week's How-To comes to us courtesy of Dave Zatz, a long-time Engadget pal who we finally convinced to join the staff as a contributor. Dave is the master of all things TiVo, and for his first How-To he's whipped up a guide to getting TV shows off of a Series 2 TiVo and on to a video-enabled iPod. You may or may not agree that $1.99 is a fair price to download an episode of Lost, but you'll certainly agree that Apple's initial video library is quite sparse. Well, I've got good news for those of you with a networked Series 2 TiVo – all you need are TiVoToGo and a few software tools and you'll be watching Monster Garage on that shiny new iPod in no time. As with all video conversions, there are many ways to skin this cat. Below you'll find my preferred method, which I use because of its high rate of success, relative ease, and low cost (free). I.

Blank DVD Media Quality Guide Not all media is good. Buying a good disc is not a simple matter of using a “name brand” disc, or paying for the most expensive disc on the shelf. With the continued production of cheaply-made Chinese and “bulk-quality” Taiwanese media, about half of all media is inferior quality. This review/guide is meant to shed some light on who manufactures and brands good and not-so-good quality DVD media. While some cheap media may work for you, it’s a gamble that often loses. What are the Best Blank DVDs? Not everybody has the time or the need to learn about why/how media is good or bad. Mitsubishi Verbatim DVD-R, DVD+R or DVD+R DL, made in India, UAE, Singapore or Taiwan. Verbatim DVD-R, Verbatim DVD+R and Verbatim DVD+R Double-Layer discs are our top suggestions for the ultimate in disc quality, as Mitsubishi-made media have been a consistent high-quality performer since 2001. Gold discs ARE NOT the best discs! If this article is helpful, please share it with others, using these links:
Download SUPER © setup file When the DirectShow Decode switch is checked, enabled, SUPER © relies exclusively on your PC's DirectShow engine to decode the input file before re-encoding it. The tiny 'D' button is used to open the 'Video DirectShow Options' window.For many years before, the DirectShow Decode process was a real pain in the neck. A considerable number of files (.dll or .ax) has to be correctly installed and registered on a PC in order to decode/play multimedia files with DirectShow. Various coders/authors have made lot of efforts and created hundreds of DirectShow filters, a user has to get each and every filter according to his needs to decode/play MP4, MOV, OGG, AVI, MKV and so on..The result was a terrible mess causing a serious disorder in the DirectShow process, a user ends up having 5 filters from 5 various authors for the same format (i.e MP4 or MKV) entering all together in conflict and giving more headache than anything else.
IPod The following is a guide for converting (transcoding to file) any video that VLC Media Player (VLC) can play into a format that the Apple iPod can play. This should be "fool proof." This guide does not cover the process of putting those files onto an iPod. To play on this device, the file you copy to it needs to be of the correct format. Why Use VLC to Convert Video for the iPod? If you're looking for the absolute highest quality in video conversion, then do NOT use VLC to convert Video for the iPod. I prefer to use VLC to convert to iPod video, because I know that if VLC can play the file, then VLC can convert it for my iPod. If considering the disk space on an iPod and the battery life, I think it is unnecessary to worry about file size/quality. Converting a Video with the Graphical User Interface Open VLC. Click "File" then "Open File", which will bring up the Open dialog. Be sure that you are on the File tab. So far, everything is fairly standard, but here comes the tricky part. Notes
