Love my new Flip Video Camera! Cheap, Easy to Use, Good Picture Quality. About the only drawback is it saves files in the MP4 format, which makes it difficult to import into various video editing programs I use like like WMM, Premiere Pro and Pinnacle VideoSpin. Found a nice free little tool called Panzera which converts MP4 to AVI formats. Very simple and easy to use.

Just added a Creative Commons License to all of my Tutorial Pages. Pretty easy to do, just followed this PDF Guide. Hope someone will take advantage of these and maybe add-on to the tutorials.

Need to tell my HTML students about this simple and free hosting solution from DropBox. Just upload and index.htm file plus any other images, stylesheets and supporting HTML files to the public directory of Dropbox and you’ve got yourself a free website. I slapped this basic site together in five minutes (yeah, it’s pretty simple but I just wanted to demonstrate how to use it) and then used TinyURL to create a psedo-custom URL of http://tinyurl.com/dropbox-site.

DROPBOX
I’ve tried a variety of tools like Ghost, EyeOS and DesktopTwo to synchronize my files between work, my PCs at home and my iTouch. Finally found one that is incredibly easy to use called DropBox. You get 2GB of storage free, plus you get an additional 250MB for every person you get to signup. Just click on the image above and download it to each PC, Mac or Linux Box you use and create a folder on the Desktop. Anything saved in the folder gets synced to all of your other computers using DropBox. You can easily choose to keep folders private, shared specific folders with other Dropbox users or place things in the Public folder, which gives them a URL on the Internet. You can also access your content on any computer, including the iTouch, via the website.

Been using a great tool called HandBrake to move videos to my iTouch (they need to be in mp4 format to play on your iTouch/iPhone). Guess you can also use it to rip DVD content but haven’t got around to that yet. My only grumble is that it doesn’t support WMV as an input format, you have to have your video files in mpg format.
Oops. Forgot about VideoSpin from Pinnacle. This will convert all types of files formats to mp4.
