Format Factory – A Simple Solution To Video Conversion

I own a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone and I love to bring my music videos collection around and therefore I need to convert them to MP4 format with the 640 x 360 dimension.

There is so many video converter out there but is there any converter that you just click it according to your phone dimension without going to go to the setting.

As simple as one click.

There is ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce to you to Format Factory.

Step 1:

Open the application and click “All to Mobile Device”.

Step 2:

Click “Output Setting” and perhaps before hand you could add the video that you want to convert by clicking “Add File”.

Step 3:

Since Nokia N97 have the same dimension of 640 x 360, I choose “Nokia N97 High Quality”.

Click “OK” and start to convert and you’re done!

So next time if you want to convert another video, it has been preset to your setting earlier on and therefore, you just open the program, add the video and just by a single click you can convert it!

Windows 7 USB DVD Tool

In the era of technology, everyone wants their device to be small and powerful and one of the device is laptop.

By the introduction of Intel Atom processor, computer manufacturer such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell, ASUS, Acer and such can make a small device yet powerful enough for ordinary usage for example to surf the internet, listening to songs and videos, typing documents and making presentation slides.

As light as 0.8 – 1.3 kg, the device knows as a netbook is portable and lightweight for you to be with you travel around. It is so small that is couldn’t fit a DVD-drive because of power drain factor. So most of the files are being transferred from USB drive or memory cards.

Here comes the trouble. Imagine your operation system crashed and cannot be rectified anymore; thus reformatting is the only way. But your installer is in a DVD and you cannot format because the netbook does not have a DVD bay. As alternative, you can use external DVD player but not all people can afford it.

That is why this software comes in handy. The good news is instead of using DVD, you can use your memory card or USB drive as your installer. The bad news is it is only work with Windows 7 installer only.

The name of the software is Windows 7 USB DVD Tool. First, by using certain ISO maker software, such as Ultra ISO and a PC, turn the DVD installer as a disk image; ISO format.

Done? Here is the best part.

Step 1:

Insert a USB drive at least with the capacity of 4GB to the USB port.

Open the software and browse for the ISO disk image that you just created.

After choosing, click “Open”.

Step 2:

Then choose “USB device” and choose the USB drive that you inserted. Click “Next” and wait.

And presto! It is done!

For you to use it as a formatter media for netbook, insert the USB drive with Windows 7 installer that you created just now and go to BIOS setting by pressing F2 when you turn on the netbook.

Go to “Bootable Device” setting and put up “USB Disk” as the first option.

And the rest is all the same when you reformat using the Windows 7 DVD installer.

After it restart the installation, please plug out the USB device because if you did not do so, the process of installation will be continuing on from the start.

And there it is ladies and gentlemen. A good method to reformat your netbook. I hope it is useful for you guys.

You can download it from Windows 7 DVD USB Tool.

Happy Birthday–Sharifah Shazzea Wan Akil

As 4th April 2011, I here by declare Sharifah Shazzea binti Wan Akil is an eligible voter.

I know how much girls hate when people know their age, hence this is the only metaphor which I can use to tell her age this year.

I thought I would never see Princess (that’s what I called her) when I’m pursuing my degree in UiTM Shah Alam; no more of her sarcastic teasing and her little-girl-like laughing.

But then, there she is….suddenly popped out from nowhere taking Bachelor Degree in Law; which makes her ends up in Shah Alam too. From there, she continue of what she did best; words bantering towards me and I take it happily because she’s the only girl who actually criticize me and subsequently making me look much more better in front of other girls eye after I took her criticism and change myself from there.

Princess is in her own class; exclusively for her because most of the girls could not fit even one of her qualities. One of it is that she is the only girl whom I know who have the natural beauty and able to look pretty just by putting on a simple smile instead of make-ups. The picture above proves it.

The other thing that I like about her is the way she complaining. If you were just an ordinary guy, you would getting tired and run away. I knew her for nearly 4 years and 3 years previously we are being there for each other; of course there’s a gap of time between due to certain circumstances; and we never failed.

She is one of amazing girl that I have known; a true girl with beauty and brain – hope she is not reading it or else she would be really proud *in a bad way*.

Why I leaked things that she would hear from me into the blog but not from me directly to her?

Because she would never read my blog plus I really restrain myself to say something good about her; later she become so proud….

Hehehe….

If she only knew.

Or the promoter there explain to you the specification of the computer which you are eyeing on and you decide to buy it. Therefore, he would ask you to come again after certain period because he need to install some essential software and configuring the setting.

When you come back afterwards, the money exchange hand and you bring the laptop to your house before knew that the specification isn’t like you wanted. Hence, you go to the dealer and argue but he do not want to refund your money plus it is a long way to get back the money from the consumer tribunal.

And there you have it. A solution to your problem especially if you have 7 sibling with WiFi enabled device which really irritates me since I’m the only one in the house with a mobile broadband. Hence, I use this software to save my time of setting up an ad-hoc with the uncool LAN icon.

It’s not the end; it’s just a start of a start

I believed all the SPM 2010 candidates already received their result either by checking it from their respective schools, via post and SMS.

Thus, the next level is to trying to get themselves to another level which is the tertiary education and due to the limited spots, there would be some of the candidate’s application will be deny.

In this special post; dedicated to those SPM leavers and considering to continue their study; I will give you some tips on how to gain a place in the tertiary education.

First, you must know your result and the requirement aggregates for the course that you want to apply is on par or above. This is because if you have a lower requirement, your application would be denied by the computer-generated-system and thus you actually has denied one chance of yourself to be in the system.

Secondly, know your course of choice and ability. Let say you love Biology and you opt for Diploma in Physics as your first option; do not do that.

You apply for Diploma in Mass Communication or Diploma in Civil Engineering because it is popular and would make you looks cool or you’re following your friends; that’s idiotic.

Diploma or any tertiary education level is actually the turn point of your life, so why you want to put in on the line and gamble?

There will be a chance that you’ll be drop out or being kick out since you cannot cope with the program itself. Then you would wasting years of your life since majority of the courses take about 3 years to complete; and you being kick out halfway? Stupidity.

The best way is know your own strength and know the minimum requirement for the result. For example, you love computer and you have a good mathematical ability plus your result is meet the requirement for Diploma in Computer Science, then do it. Although you might not like the idea but that’s one of the way to get yourself in the tertiary education level. You will love the program eventually just like I do with mine.

Third, use all the chance that you got. If there’s the application for UPU, Polytechnic, Perguruan etc., just fill in the form because in the end you will end up with many options which is good.

Plus, there would be government agencies who would open up diploma program and therefor, you need to be diligent by flipping the newspaper everyday to find it such as Aswara and Ministry of Resources.

Fourth, do not apply for courses which are very competitive and popular among the applicants if you only have a minimum requirement for it. For example civil engineering or mass communication because these are popular courses and there would be more applicants who have better results as you are; if you still want to try, I’m not stopping you.

Instead, go for the less popular but have a bright prospect such as Diploma in Plantation or Diploma in Information Management because you will be have a very high chance to get in and be together in the tertiary education. Before you even do it, identify which course which less popular and meeting your minimum SPM’s result requirement. Therefore, you will have less competition from others to gain a spot.

Lastly, for those who do not have enough credit or a just-barely-alive result; do fill in the form for Pre-Commerce in UiTM; you will have the chance in your life to make a turn point within it. You just can click to Pre-Com and choose Pra-Diploma at the left-hand side. At least you guys tried and nothing is beatable other than seeing your parents knowing you will step your feet in university although you just take Pre-Com but then it only take you six month. Afterwards, Diploma for you, baby!!!

I hope with these some tips and guidance could help you guys to fulfill your parents dream and yours too to be a UNIVERSITY STUDENT/TERTIARY-LEVEL student.
