Nikita Porwal — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:42:37 +0000

Trust me most of the video editing software sucks, some ask to take classes, some just consume so much of time that you lose interest in that video itself and others take installing at huge cost. But then here is a savior, if you desire to edit video without installing any software and without much of work then check out Pixorial! It is a new web based tool that allows you upload, store, edit and organize your personal home movies/videos online. Registered users can collaborate with others by adding and sharing full resolution home movies in the secure Pixorial service. Further quick edit and remix online content to create unique, customized video products is possible. The final products retain the full quality and resolution of the master movies regardless of source.

The interesting part is you have password-protected digital video library on web and can be edited right at your browser. And to get the footage into the site, check the two options: send your media by UPS or you can upload digital video directly. You could ship the following formats to Pixorial for doing base work of digitally recording them for you: VHS, VHS-C, Digital8, Hi8, Betamax, miniDV, and 8mm, Super 8 and Super 8 film with sound, DVDs, and even memory cards up to 6 GB.

Therefore each time you use Pixorial, you would have to wait for your videos to load. Firefox and Internet explorer eliminates this issue.

Overall its neat and friendly user interface designed for easy to use tools for video editing, collaborating and extremely flexible methods for getting your video footage done. So gear up now and hold your memories today by having a look at Pixorial and discover how it can actually help you stay with great moments!

Vuze – Best p2p bittorrent app for HD videos

Honey Singh — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:21:04 +0000

You might familiar with the torrent technology and may use applications like bit torrent or µTorrent for finding video, movies or music for your system, mobile and other devices. High Definition video files requires very immense amount of network bandwidth and initially services providers uses the “one-to-many” information sharing with very low efficiency. Old technology is governed by center server which is expensive and slow. Due to old technology most of the video sharing websites limits their video sizes and length of the files. Vuze HD technology uses Peer-to-peer model which changes the definition of file sharing and overcome the one-to many system by introducing distributed computing capacity in system i.e many-to-many.

Vuze is a social video discovery platform for user created video, it can share and discover the HD videos. It have extra ability to watch your videos on any screen – PC, mobile, or TV. Unlike other torrent clients, Vuze have very attractive user interface (like that of iTunes). Some of the features are

Chris of Vuze stated the following stats of their product

A few short months later, the numbers speak for themselves. You’ve made it clear, once again, that the ability to watch videos on any screen is important to you:
As of today, more than 1 million of you have turned on device support
Over 14.5 million videos have been transferred to watch on iPhone, iPod, Xbox 360 or PS3
On average, each of you with active devices has transferred over 14 videos to your devices.
Some companies tout reaching the millionth user as a big milestone. Around here, we’re proud to be thinking bigger with you in surpassing 1 million users of a single (though *infinitely* cool) feature within Vuze. But don’t take our word for it. Take theirs… IGN, Engadget, Joystiq, VideoNuze, one happy user, and another happy user.

I must say that Vuze is in the new way of defining the torrent world with their visual and innovative angle of technology.

Track several e-mail accounts with ePrompter 2.0

Honey Singh — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 16:10:52 +0000

ePrompter is an applications to track several emails on a single go. You can easily manage, read , compose and delete the emails within your ease. It supports several email services like Gmail, Yahoo, AIM, AOL, Gmail, Rediffmail and several other email services. ePrompter automatically and simultaneously fetches your email accounts and gave you regular notifications of new messages in different e-mail accounts.

Tiburon Technology says that

ePrompter’s notification features include a unique rotating tray icon and a choice of five screensavers that let you know at a glance the number of new messages in each account, as well as audio alerts for new messages. Version 2.0 employs auto-upgrades so that regardless of the version of ePrompter you download from CNET, it will be automatically updated to the most recent version of ePrompter after one use of the program.

One of CNET users rctlover1 reviews its Pros and Cons as

Pros: This program is good for notifying you that you have email in one of your accounts and allowing you to quickly delete messages you know you don’t want. However, it is VERY bare bones. It does stay synched with Gmail much better than Outlook, but has limited features.

Cons: Doesn’t work with HTML format, constantly cuts off the end of the message so you can only read the first line, doesn’t work with attachments. I use it to notify me when I have email and I can quickly delete or mark as read most messages. When I really need to read an email or download an attachment, I still have to sign into my account. Also, it DOES NOT work with Microsoft Exchange Servers like Outlook does.
