Editing MPG video files in iMovie

Generally if you transfer your videos from any camcorder, the format will be MPG and iMovie doesn't let you edit MPG files. You generally need to convert to one of the iMovie. If you are ready to spend some money, you can get quicktime pro, or buy QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X to be able to edit your movies in iMovie.

Alternatively, you can download Videora iPod converter and convert your files to MP4 format and edit it using iMovie.

Matlab R2009a Crash

I installed Matlab R2009a on mac os (Snow Leopard). But it crashes so many times which was highly unacceptable from Mathworks. I think they really need to revise and do all the bug fixing. I am not aware if it is just the problem with Mac or the problems also persists in windows systems.

Simulink: The simulink-simmechanics visualisation windows is really bad. They removed the grid visualization which makes it really difficult to visualize the model.

But the really cool feature about the new simulink is that, now its possible to integrate Solidworks model with the simmechanics model, which is amazing.

Video in Print Technology

I came across this amazing new technology called video in print. CBS is collaborating with Pepsi to come up with the first ever video right into the magazine, Entertainment Weekly. The magazine will contain a 25 minute video comprising of previews of shows like The Big Bang Theory and How I met your mother. Its speculated that using this video in print technology will take media to next level. Presently this new issue will only be available to subscribers in LA and NY.

The video will run on a Li-Ion battery which one can recharge through a USB port. Also since it can be connected to a USB, one can download their own video into this chip and watch it over and over again. The battery lasts for about an hour. Also the coolest feature is its menu-driven so one can switch to next video just by the push of a button on the magazine....

It has speakers too... What else one needs....
