Hope this is helpful.

I am so glad to have found Any Video Converter software because the file conversion process is very simple and it is FREE. During conversion the software does not eat too much memories and most important it does not heat up your processor. When running on a system with multi-core processor you can see only one of the processor core is throttling at about 80 percent of it’s full speed while the other core(s) is running at normal speed. This is much better than the software that I used before where both processor cores are running at full speed during a video conversion process. AVC can convert videos or extract audio into various formats such as avi, wmv, mkv, flv, mp4, mp3, and wav.

Output formats

AVC can convert videos from almost all video formats such as Windows Media Files , Flash videos, Quicktime, Divx videos, and DVD formats. Users can also customize each conversion video or audio settings. Users can specify the video or audio codec to be used, video size, frame rate, video bitrate, audio bitrate and audio sample size.

Readable formats

I was converting 350MB videos with overall bitrate of about 1100kbps to smaller size of 195MB with overall bitrate of 617kbps using same setting as original video except the bitrate. The video format is .avi using xvid codec, video size and frame rate were all similar to the original files. I change the audio sample size from 48000Hz 117kbps variable to 44100Hz 123kbps variable bitrate. The result is video quality is of course reduced but even when the size and bitrate was reduced about 40 percent but the video quality was changed only about 20 percent. Another noticeable different was the audio volume on converted file was increased and clearer than the original file maybe because I increased the bitrate. I made screenshots for both the original and converted videos for you to see the difference by yourself.

Notebook

You might notice that most of the notebooks in the market are quite dull with blank pages or lines which is the most practical for all users. There are some notebooks with background images on every pages but most probably with pictures of Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse and would not really suit you because you are not a kid anymore. So how to have an interesting notebook that suit your style? The answer is to make it by yourself. You can customize everything and then all your friends will ask where do you get that nice notebook.

Here’s how to do it:

• Start your Microsoft Word and a blank page is created automatically.

• A notebook is usually smaller in size so you would want to change the size to A5 or any other size that you want. Click on the Page Layout > Size > A5.

Changing document size

• Next is to make the cover page and the back page. I’m going to make a cover page with background image and some texts. If you want to be very artistic you can customize the cover page using Photoshop or other graphic software. To do add background image you can select Page Layout > Page Color > Fill Effects and then select the Picture tab. This method however only suitable if the picture you want to insert have the same dimension as your paper. If your image is larger or smaller than the paper size you can use Watermark. Select Page Layout > Watermark > Custom Watermark. In the Watermark pop-up box select the Picture Watermark button and then select your picture. Then adjust the scale to fit the size you wanted. Deselect the Washout button if you want your picture to be at full opacity. Note that using the Watermark tool will make all your pages to have the same background image. You’ll need to create a new document if you want different image for your back cover.

Adding background image

• Next step is to add some texts to the cover page. Create a Text Box (Insert > Text Box > Draw Text Box) anywhere you want to place the text and then type onto it. Use the WordArt tool to customize the appearance of the text (Insert > WordArt). Remove the fill and stroke for the Text Box to make it invisible.

• Once you done with the cover page it’s time to customize the inner pages. Create a new document with the same A5 size. Add background image using the same method as before but I would prefer to check the Washout button to dim the image so that it will not interfere with any writings on it.

• Some people would prefer notebooks with lines so here is the trick to add lines to your paper. In Microsoft Word 2007 the insert horizontal line function is hidden in the Page Border properties box. Select Page Layout > Page Border. When the Page Border properties box has appeared, click on the Horizontal Line button at the bottom left corner of the box. Then Horizontal Line box will appear and select the most basic line and press OK.

Adding horizontal lines

• When the horizontal line is already on the page, double-click on it to change its color or other setting. Then you can just Copy and Paste the lines to fill the rest of the page. If you have an A4 size printer you might want to create another page so that it will be easier for your to print the document.

Pages with complete lines

• When all done you can print the document by yourself or go to a printing shop to print the cover page on thicker paper and add plastic front and back cover.

• Bind them together with ring binder and you’ll have your own custom notebook.

Vuze HD Network

The latest version of the software allow users to easily search for files and the search results are displayed directly in the software’s search page. Then users can simply click on the Download button. Files are searched from various BitTorrent index websites such as Btjunkie, Extratorrent, Isohunt, Mininova, and also from Youtube and Vuze network.

Vuze Search Page

I also like this software because no matter how many downloads are running or how fast the download speed is, Vuze does not interfere the internet browsing speed. However this will only happen if you set the Transfer setting to Automatic. The software will analyze your connection speed and limit the bandwidth used to download files. You can manually adjust the setting if you want to use all your bandwidth for downloading. I use a DSL 1.0 kbps internet connection and shared with 3 friends using a wireless router. The highest file download speed when I use download accelerator such as Flashget is around 160 KB/s. For torrent download the highest speed I had achieved is 120 KB/s depending on the number of peers connected. What I want to share is that my friend used µTorrent client and that software suck all the bandwidth and nobody was able to browse the internet. At first we all thought there was a problem with the ISP and I even called the customer service to ask about the slow internet connection. Finally the slow internet browsing problem was found to be caused by µTorrent that eat all the bandwidth. For µTorrent users, manual setting is required to have a balance between downloading and internet browsing. While using Vuze, my friend and I can still browse the internet with ease even the torrents are downloading at a speed of 80 KB/s.

Vuze Setting

The thing that most people don’t like about Vuze is the extensive use of memory. The software uses around 150 MB of memory to infinity depending on how much files are downloading or seeding at a time. The average memory use on my system is about 180 MB on Windows 7 64bit. 2 GB or RAM might not be enough if you are running Vuze on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Vuze memory usage

Vuze also have wide range of plugins for users to choose to enhance the software. It’s like using WordPress where we can add a lot of plugins to make our blog better.

Some of Vuze plugins are:

• iZureus – A fully functional iPhone web interface.
• Mainline DHT – Allow use of Mainline DHT.
• 3D View – 3D View of the swarm (connections).
• Country Locator – Adds a column identifying the peer country in the details view.
• LAN Peer Scanner – Finds peers for downloads within a LAN.
• Download Focus Plugin – Focus the download of a specific file.
• I2P Network Plugin – Allows use of the I2P anonymous network.
• Speed Scheduler – Schedule your upload and download speeds based on time and day of week.
