ClickOnce deployment is crapy! too sad that ms dropped the setup projekt type. whatever...: here is the latest and probably last version of my open7x0client. Major updates: MP4 target format - looks great on my android MP4 Tags are now written (filled with EPG Infos from vdr.info ) Batch encoding of multiple selected recordings - aim and forget ;) More guifeedback while indexing the box (still a hack) download it from here: http://seeland.biz/blog/m740/open7x0OneClickDeployment/publish.htm

I found a way to encode to mp4 and h264 with mencodersharp. Videoparameter: -vf dsize=16/9,scale=-10:-1,harddup -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -ovc x264 -sws 9 -x264encopts nocabac:level_idc=30:bframes=0:bitrate=512:threads=auto:turbo=1:global_header:threads=auto Audioparameter: -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:raw:br=128 This worked with an mpeg2ps stream as source.

eat that: http://code.google.com/p/mencoder-sharp/ I published my mencoder c# wrapper If you are still reading you probably ask why i wrapped mencoder in stead of ffmpeg. The answer is that ffmpeg was not stable with my mpeg stream taken from my dvb-t device.

have not noticed that vlc can view teletext from a dvb stream. retro! yeah!

Last time i sat on a laptop without webcam an wanted to make a videocall. I searched for a solution to connect my andorid camera to my pc and found two solutions: IP Webcam DroidCam Wireless Webcam Both need some additional software at the pc to present some common webcaminterface to your voip or im software and both are advertisefundet. Dont know if there is a advertisefree verion of IP Webcam but there is a "pro" version of DroidCam Wireless Webcam which is free of the timelimit. I decidet to test DroidCam longer because the software which is needed on the PC worked out of box (at least with skype), while the software of IP Webcam (option 2) crashed.

so what is the difference? Live Mesh gives you the possibility to sync files without restriction in the sum of size of all files. you can choose to sync files without using the online space. SkyDrive is the name of the online space, which is 5GB big. Syncing without using SkyDrive is only done when the systems (microsoft call it devices) are online at the same time. So if your systems are never online at the same time your files will never be synced. Keep in mind: Microsoft stopped support for Windows XP (Live Mesh Beta supported xp, but will shut down in 03/2011), but they support MacOSX (>10.5): http://explore.live.com/windows-live-2011-system-requirements If you chosse DropBox you are limited to the size of the online space, which is initial 2GB big. Advantage: you can sync with mobile devices and windows xp, linux, MacOS, Android, Blackbarry, Iphone, Ipad, ... And the best: There are free ressources for developer in multiple languages. https://www.dropbox.com/developers/releases...

The reason for the same is that the data licence agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term. The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All has therefore been constrained to stop...
