Hi Friends
Many of us uses VLC Media Player to see our videos and even listen to mp3 files although i just use it for videos only . The reason : it's free and support almost every video file . But many of us don't use and infact don't even know about about its hidden features . One of those hidden features is that you can convert any video file and make it of your desired size . Yes , you can . Although i am still to master this trick but i can show you a glimpse of it .

1. Open VLC Media Player
2. Select "wizard" from file menu
3. click on "Transcode/Save To file"
   
4. Click on "select a stream" and choose the video file that you want to convert . And if you don't know , you can even stream your desktop to create a screen-cast . Just google it if you want to know more about it .
   
5. Click on next
6. Now select the appropriate Video and audio codec options . Just kep a eye on the comments and most of the time the video and audio codec don't match . so it's quite possible that audio in video will be missing in your converted file . Also please note the encapsulation method suggested for e.g. MPEG PS . Your both the video and audio codec should support a common encapsulation method .
   
7. In the next options screen . Select the common encapsulation method of your audio and video codecs .
   
8. In the next options screen , enter the desired name for your converted file including the extension i.e. avi . With variety of codecs you can use other extensions too .
   
9. Now , in the next step , you will see vlc playing a mute audio file . Don't worry , it is not playing any file , infact it is now showing a progress bar .
   
10. Taararaaaa..... complete .

If this worked for you , then please don't forget to bookmark this post and post the settings and codecs you used .

Hi friends
I just came across this new search engine for shopping , SaveBucket . Quite simple design i must say . The best feature that i really liked was that of comparing price and features . Although similar thing is also available on eBay but well then eBay is different type of website where things are sold by people , not eBay . eBay is not a store but a market place where anybody can come and open his/her shop , but it's upto you to decide to trust or not to trust that seller . While SaveBucket is like big shopping complex where only good stores are allowed to open their shops . SaveBuckets keeps a eye on the best selling products and list them on its frontpage . And even if i am not convinced of the price of any product , i can just set a email notification which will tell me if that product is available on my choice of price .

Sorry if you feel this post is disgusting . But it is our foremost responsibility to teach our foreigner friends on how to use indian toilets specially if they have stop to by some small railway station for attending nature's call on their nokia damaged by indian spices . And i am honestly saying , i didn't smiled even once while writing this post . :|

Ok friends , as promised i will be sharing my knowledge of php with you , in this series , here is my first script for you

This a very simple function on how to sort a multidimentional array in php



function sort_multi_array($mult_array , $field , $sort_type="ASC_NUM")
{

$code = '';
switch($sort_type) {

case ASC_NUM:
$code .= 'return strcmp($a["'.$field.'"], $b["'.$field.'"]);';
break;
case DESC_NUM:
$code .= 'return (-1*strcmp($a["'.$field.'"], $b["'.$field.'"]));';
break;
}

$compare = create_function('$a, $b', $code);
usort($mult_array, $compare);
return $mult_array;
}

//How to use :
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'date' => '2008-12-30 21:20:56', 'name' => "abc");
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'date' => '2007-12-25 21:20:56', 'name' =>'def' );
$data[] = array('volume' => 85, 'date' => '2007-12-27 21:20:56', 'name' => 'ghi');
$data[] = array('volume' => 05, 'date' => '2008-12-02 21:20:56', 'name' => 'jkl');
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'date' => '1975-12-05 21:20:56', 'name' => 'mno');
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'date' => '2007-12-30 20:20:56', 'name' => 'rto');

$data = sort_multi_array($data ,'date' , 'DESC_NUM');
var_dump($data);



/*

it will sort the array according to 'date'

array(6) {
[0]=>
array(3) {
["volume"]=>
int(67)
["date"]=>
string(19) "2008-12-30 21:20:56"

}

Hi frinends
Ok , so before you start thinking that this blog is dead Or this man only post sponsored posts .. i should tell you that you are wrong and i really apologize if you came to that conclusion . Well... i am back in blogging again . This winter vacations are going quite nice . I think , i can now call myself a professional PHP and ASP.NET developer . I did some very interesting work using PHP this winter whch i can't tell you right now . And learnt ASP.NET while making http://imom.in . Our NSIT Motorsports team is out of its dormancy resumed work for Mini Baja 2008 under the leadership of Nikhil Dewan sir . Ohh...gosh... i also have to update the site . Anyways , i am in steering dppt. this year . My friends Sid and Raman did some amazing job in robotics and sid is surely going to surprise you with his robotics circuits in his blog . BTW if you have a passion for formula car , you should my friend Ankit's blog , this guy is a champ . While half of my IT and COE friends are learning Linux , i am still not convinced to use it . No one is able to tell me any satisfy other than saying that it's free . And half of my MPAE (manufacturing and automation engg. ) is doing a same project under PRK sir . And now i am sitting idle . Hehe... few of my class mates daily keep a eye on my internet profiles just to check what i am doing so that they can too take advantage of any oppurtunity ... bada competitive jamaana hain . Hmm...what else is left about me... hmmm.. yeah... oh sorry .. cant tell .. thoda personal hain . Yeah.. we went to agra this winter .. seriously Bill Clinton rightly said "Taj is 10% history and 90% feelings." . And by the way , if you are a web developer , you may come back for few scripts written by me (if my laziness permits it) . You can atleast see my code for currency convertor class both in PHP and C# . Chalo bbye .

Ok , First , i should clarify , we are not calling google but calling advertisers on Google Ads . Google has recently allowed Advertisers to receive potential clients to call them on their mentioned no. I haven't gone into details but ofcourse the call charges would surely have to be paid by advertisers . I tried making call , and it was quick . I just had to click on phone symbol on the advertisement and then it asked for my no. , i gave without any area code . And within 10 sec , my phone was showing a call from a no. "+4140 " (wht kind of no. it is :/ ). And ofcourse i didn't wanted to waste advertisers money so i hanged up .

This was my reaction when i saw this clipping on Daily Telegraph ePaper
These people just go to google images and choose whetever pic they find . Idiots .

Hi Friends
Let see , who you actually are by this simple Right Brain or Left Brain test . Just go to this link and find out . I won't talk much , let this link do the job .

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

Hi friends
I remember , how my cousin desperately tried to persuade me to make his website for online gems store . Although , with my newly equipped knowledge of web-coding , i was confident that i can make him one but still had to refuse him because of time constraint , even when he was ready to pay me 40K . One of the thing that i expected will eat my head was to setup money transaction system . i just found out today , how easily i could have done that using an Shopping cart software . Using this amazing ecommerce software , one can easily setup a online store without knowing any webdesigning at all . It allows your customer to use any kind of credit card . If you are in search of any such software , you must try this .
