Se alguém quiser pode sacar o .po e o .mo directo deste blog.

Now just have to way for a reply/dm to see if it works.

My current experience with Push notifications on the iPhone is a bit mixed. I know I’m not receiving alot of the pushed messages I should. I have no idea if there is a statistic but I guess some >50% of notifications are being lost. What is your felling?

-Well…. It seems stupid to play ring tones but not to play a song…. So how do you go around getting a ringtone from a music you have?

Well that is the funny part. If you bought the music from iTunes store Apple is generous enough to charge you another 99 cents for the permission to create the ringtone.

What if you have the music because you:
1- Bought it from another online store
2- Bought the CD and made a lawful copy to your computer

Apple just tells you you cannot do it. Either re-rebuy the music or move along.

I know you can get another software that will strip a peace of the music to amr, and then send that file to the iPhone and “shazam” a free ringtone. But that is just STUPID!!

If I have a music I should be free to use it as a ringtone/wake up music. Who is Apple to pass judgement on what I have on MY system?

@jpedroso: You see why I may like Apple’s products but have very little respect for it as a company?

The software is a dotNet application that runs in Mono. Under ubuntu (Jaunty 9.04) you need the core that is probably already installed and:

sudo apt-get install libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil


The only annoyance right now is that the software is distributed as a .exe file that cannot be run in Mono. You have to either install the software in a Windows machine and then copy the installation directory to your Linux machine, or use Wine to run the Installer.

It’s not the twitter effect. I just use twitter for light stuff. It has to be something else. I guess it’s the pressure of the post. When you blog you have to open yourself. You have to open your ideas to others, and have to open for critics.

I have been looking at the Archives that date back to 2003 and found many occasions where we get rude and offensive reply’s. I guess many bloggers are just getting tired of being abused on their own house.

This does not mean that I’ll blog more or less from now on. It’s just a thought I had.

How can our economy go anywhere when we have to pay more than the ones that have more?

So the actual ffmpeg command I’m using is:

ffmpeg -threads 2 -i INPUT_FILE -r 20  -vcodec libx264 -s 320x240 -flags +loop \
-cmp +chroma -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 -crf 24  -bt 256k -refs 1 -coder 0 \ 
-me_range 16 -subq 5 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp8x8 -g 250  \
-keyint_min 25 -level 30 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -trellis 2 -sc_threshold 40 \
-i_qfactor 0.71 -acodec libfaac  -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 OUTPUT_FILE

So what does all this mean? I am no ffmpeg expert but I’ll try to give an explanation. If you can fill the gaps please post a reply.

• -threads 2 Number of threads ffmpeg will use. This should be the number of cores in your system
• -i INPUT_FILE The path to the file you want to convert
• -r 20 The frame rate of the converted file. This should be the same as the input file. A lower value means a smaller file
• -vcodec libx264 Codec of the output file. This means that output will be a H264 Mpeg4 file
• -s 320×240 Resolution of the output. Should not exceed the input file. In any case remember that iPhone resolution is: 480×320
• -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 Audio format. AAC audio with 128kbits bitrate, with 48000Hz sample rate and 2 channels. Lower values will give smaller files and less quality.

If you know what the others do anf how do they affect the quality/size please post.
