Help reduce greenhouse gas when using Leawo Video Converter
Posted on October 22nd, 2009 2 commentsMaybe you have no idea of how Leawo Video Converter can do anything to reduce greenhouse gas. So let’s start with the facts.
Hundreds of millions of computers are running every second on earth, thanks to the blooming economy and the exploding technology development. Personal computers take a lion’s share of the sum. Awesome as the fact reflects, it is raising alarms that a large number of these terminals are contributing to the step-up of global warming. How could a set of PC have something to do with the global issue? Look, there is an average power consumption of 200 warts in a PC, and the global aggregate should go up to billions of warts per second. That’s a huge figure. Coming of convenience and mostly unawareness, people often let their terminals on idling with nothing more to do. Assuming there are 1 million computers running concurrently all over the world at a power consumption rate of 200 warts, there are approximately 46 tons of CO2 being produced per hour, equal to the amounted weight of 200 elephants.
The topic of global warming is not the exclusivity of the high profile government officials. Every one of us has the same duty to assume. To help reduce greenhouse gas, it is easy yet wise to cut your computer power consumption when it is idling. Turn it off when it has finished your work. A kind advice is that if you are using Leawo Video Converter or any other Leawo’s video converter programs, make sure to have the option of “Shut down computer after conversion” on when there is a long list of videos to be processed. It can raise your efficiency so that you can get around doing something else and the energy efficiency as well. The more of you remember to do so will save the earth from tons of killing greenhouse gases. Let’s start contributing to the sustainable development of our planet by small things.

Get best video entertainment on Nokia N96
Posted on September 24th, 2009 5 commentsNokia N96 has been one of the most advanced smartphones crowed about by the company and well spurred the market and drawn people’s heartthrobs. With a large 2.8 inch screen and high volume internal memory, N96 does accord with its reputation of being a super multimedia cell phone. While the video playback capacity has been great lifted, there is still a big margin before it catches up with the mainstream computers. In other words, one should not be too excited to expect N96 would be able to smoothly play any kinds of videos you play on your PC. To better your understanding on the threshold of N96’s video playback, here we are going to wheel test it with videos of various profiles.
To stand out from average cell phones, N96 can support a wide range of video formats as is mentioned on the official website.

As we know, the screen size, encoding, frame rate and bit rate of the video are essential factors that affect the smoothness of playback. A larger screen size, higher frame rate or bit rate means higher CPU consumption. Once the consumption exceeds the CPU’s performance, we get a serious frame drop or playback failure as a result. We pick 15 experimental video clips and test them on N96 one by one to see how well the phone can deal with them.

No.

Despite the physical resolution of QVGA 320*240, N96 can smoothly decode and play MP4 videos at VGA 640*480 with satisfactory results. However, larger than VGA resolutions are not supported, while there are slight frame drop at VGA resolution with frame rate up to 30 or above. A switch to more complicated codec H.264 can labor the CPU even further.
AVI playback test:

It is kind of unexpected that N96 fail to play AVI videos which are popular on PC platform.

Because of its primary intention to work on cell phones, 3GP is not a tough bone for N96 to bite.
FLV playback test:

As a famous network video format, FLV reduces the file size and lowers the requirement for the platform. No wonder N96 can pass this test easily.

While N96 triumphs through most of the tests above, it goes Waterloo in the RM and RMVB playback test. Since RM and RMVB are still the preferred formats for most movies, such as cartoons and motion pictures, it has to say it is a pity that N96 fails to meet expectations.
Well, there is still a best way to get around the sad outcome and enjoy your videos on N96!
What you need is a multifunctional video converter to make the video slim and neat so as to get a smooth and best playback. Leawo Video Converter can convert any of your videos to MP4, 3GP, FLV, RM with output adjustment on resolution, codec, bit rate and frame rate, easy to get your videos to play on your N96 or other cell phones.
Why have to wait to get best video entertainment on your N96?

More evidence: new iPod model will gain cameras in Apple’s annual iPod event
Posted on September 9th, 2009 4 commentsApple’s lips have always been tight about the information on its upcoming products. In this year’s annual iPod event, Apple is going to announce a new product line of its famous iPod player. Rumor has gathered to make people believe that the new generation of iPod will be camera-toting model. The models to be upgraded include iPod touch, iPod nano and likely iPod Classic.

It dates back to March 16th when Apple issued a recruitment notice indicating its iPhone Engineering Group is looking for a Camera Engineering Project Manager to drive the design, development and integration of camera modules across iPhone and iPod. It is obviously Apple does imply its purpose on the design of camera-toting iPod. Photos of the alleged upcoming model of iPod have been exposed continually on the internet. Although the authenticity is not verified, the accumulating evidence has increased the stake on the positive side.

The newly surfacing evidence is the leaked photos of suspected protective shells for the new third generation of iPod touch and the fifth generation of iPod nano. There is clearly a hole at the back of both the shells, probably designed for the camera. If these photos are officially authentic, it is substantially positive that the new iPod touch and iPod nano will equip camera capabilities. However, no specifications of the camera regarding both models have been revealed yet.

The suspected protective shell for iPod nano 5th
The camera upgrade is an advisable strategy according to experts’ analysis. It will inspire more users download from the App Store, especially the utilities that are pertinent to video processing. It means expanding influence and boosting income. This can also help promote the sales of iPhone, which is the keynote product of Apple.

Some rumor says that iPod Classic is going to fade away in order to give way to iPod touch and iPod nano. So it is still a secret whether Apple will bring a new upgrade to iPod classic in this year’s iPod event. As we can see on the product timeline, iPod classic is the oldest marketed product among all iPod models.

Nevertheless, we still have to wait until the veil on the new products is lifted. If everything goes fine, tomorrow on September 10th will witness the answer to the questions.
