Experience Sharing: How to Convert DVD movies to iPad More Easily.

Hi, Buddies! Today i'd like to share with you a magic multimedia conversion tool, which can Rip DVD movies to iPad without any quality losing. It is the seventh app i have tried, and it enjoys high honor on google and many iPad users.

The reason i'd like to share with you is just because of my experience:
The other days, a very little mistake drived me crazzy on iPad. I planned to copy some DVD movies onto my iPad so that i can watch them when i travel. I think this is a good idea to kill the boring time. However, as is known to all, iPad supports only the video formats below:

* H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, Stereo file formats are M4v, Mp4 and Mov;
* MPEG-4 Video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
* Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in u-law, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.

Audio formats supported like below:
* AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC; MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV.

So i spare no effort to look for a DVD to iPad converter, while some can only Rip DVD to iPad, but couldn't convert to iPad video formats; and some will add watermark on the converted videos, which i can hardly watch on my iPad; what's more hateful, some free so-called can only damage my DVDs.

The above is my experience, and much more i guess you also met. So i will not waste time on it.
Now i'd like to show you how to do the conversion (from DVD to your iPad) step by step, and also i add some screenshots here.

First, you need to download this DVD to iPad Converter and install it on your computer( Download is free and also it provides free-try function).

Step 1: Run the converter and load DVD
After running the application on your computer, click the "Load DVD" button to input any DVD disc, DVD folder, and DVD IFO.



Step 2: Customize output video

This DVD to iPad Converter owns powerful video editing functions. With it, you can easily trim video length, crop video frame, watermark video, add any watermark to your video and even adjust video brightness, saturation and contrast.

Step 3: Choose proper output profile

This tool provides users with many output profiles. You can click the drop-down list of Profile option and choose the proper profile that suits you best.

Step 4: Start ripping DVD to iPad

After all these settings, you can click on the "Start" button to start the DVD to iPad conversion. After a while, you will successfully rip DVD to iPad.

Now you can transfer the output iPad files to your iPad through iTunes and enjoy them conveniently.

Now i finished and hope my experience and information can really be helpful for you, and also i hope we can communicate on the common habiits.

Apple MacBook Air: The King of Ultra-Thin Notebook

A report from J.P. Morgan shows that the market of Ultra-thin notebook reserves big profit margins. Many producers, including Acer, HP and Sony, are getting involved in the field of Ultra-thin notebook. However, Apple's MacBook Air will still be the kind of Ultra-thin notebook for a very long time.

Although the competition of Ultra-thin notebook market is getting heating up day after day, but the cost of this kind of note book is still a big problem for producers. So far, most of the Ultra-thin notebook's price is more than $1000, only few of them is around $900. The price is still too high for most of the customers. In fact, MacBook Air's price is also expensive. According to the different models and configuration, its price is between $999 to $1599. Some analysts said, it receives much more attention than other competitors because its superiority in functions and specification and it comes out much earier than others. In contrast, other producer's Ultra-thin notebook are available in the market much later than MacBook Air and do not have superiority in functions and price. So it is really difficult for them to shake the market share of Apple MacBook Air.

Analysts also point out that, as MacBook Air's strong growth, in the next 12 months, its sales will reach over $7 billion, and sell 1.6 million for each quarter. If this come true, Apple will thank China's market. In the third quarter, MacBook's sale in China rise 339% than the same period of last year. And it will rise in the future.

For now, in the sales of MacBook Air around the world, USA and EMEA takes 73.9% and some new markets' share is rising constantly. Analyst said as the price is still high for most of the customers, now some new markets is not the main increase of MacBook Air's sales, but after the price is going lower, this will change. In addition, as iPhone and iPad is fast occupying the new market around the planet and Apple's affect will become a nice halo effect, Apple's system will be much more perfect than now. All the things above is a good news for the sales on MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Air comes at the right time when people are getting tired with giant laptop. When you hear about it, you just fall in love with it without any hesitation. MacBook Air 2011 makes itself more fast and more powerful. 4GB of DDR3 memory is found on all but the base 11-inch model, which gets by with half that. SSDs are standard across the board, starting at 64GB for the 11 and going up to 256GB for the top-shelf 13-inch. Intel HD 3000 graphics power the lot and stock processors include 1.6GHz and 1.7GHz Core i5's, though a 1.8GHz Core i7 is available for $100 more. When it comes to displays nothing has changed: the 13-inch model features a 1440 x 900 glossy, LED-backlit panel while the 11 still does 1366 x 768. We spent our time testing the 13-inches and, as before, it continues to impress when it comes to contrast, brightness, and viewing angles, which are plenty wide enough to enable two-person, coach-class viewing of that latest episode of Top Gear. Contrast is helped by the glossy sheen here -- and no, you still can't option out a matte unit.

For Reasons for Apple to Launch The 7.85 inch iPad

On this Friday, there was a rumor from Apple supply chain that Apple will launch the 7.85 inch Tablet PC in late 2012. The technology blog GigaOm make a analysis why Apple should promote the small dimension Tablet PC.


                      Imaginary 7 inch iPad
Athough Apple is leading the Consumer Tablet PC market, and sales of iPad are far above Android Tablet PC, there are still four reasons why Aplle should launch the smaller screen Tablet PC.

First, Smaller Tablet PC is more portable

The smaller size tablet PC with higher frequency of ultilization, can be used in more situations. For example, the Samsung 7 inch Galaxy Tab tablet PC can be carried with you, but iPad is inconvenient in carrying. When the users sit in the yard, or go to Starbucks, iPad can well meet your needs. But in the process of moving, 7 inch flat panel computer is more convenient. The tablet can be packed in your pants or jacket pocket, but iPad can't. Smaller size also makes weight lighter.

Second, Outstanding 7 inch Tablet PC has already been available

Although 7 inch Galaxy Tab brings much convenience, there are still some disadvantages compared with iPad. However, some better 7 inch Tablet PCs have been available such as bookstore Nook tablet PC and Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet PC. The two products are very popular in this Christmas season. Portability is one of advantages, but more important is the lower price. These 7 inch flat panel computers sell for $199 to $249. Although these tablets can only provide 80% functions of iPad, the price occupies only 40% of it. Maybe Aplle will not throw away the market to Bookstore and Amazon manufactures.

Third, iPod Touch has been less attractive than ever

Some people think that since iPod Tough exists, there is no necessary for Apple to launch the smaller iPad, but this is just one of the reasons that Apple should launch the smaller iPad. As Apple communicates with more and more Operators, consumers are purchasing iPhone more, leading the iPod Touch sales gradually slide down. Some Android mobile phone users may purchase iPod Touch as a supplement, but iPhone users will not do so. Recently, the investment put into iPod Touch is less and less, among the product line update items only increases the white version. This suggests that, as one product line, iPod Touch is gradually towards the end.

Fourth, Price of the smaller iPad can be reduced to the level of iPod Touch

If Apple eventually gave up iPod Touch, it will be lack of products whose price is from 199 to 399 dollars. Apple can launch the small size iPad, whose price is $199, to compete with Kindle Fire. Similar to iPod Touch and the current iPad, the $199 iPad can be the product of WiFi version unrelated to operators, and with 3G module version, the price will be improved. To those consumers, who wish to obtain iPad experience and think price of $499 is too high, 199 to $399 products will meet their needs. Industry insiders guess that, the price of smaller size iPad may be associated with iPod Touch, while the larger storage capacity will have the higher price. Although the launch of small size iPad is appropriate, it does not mean that the current 10 inch iPad is not good. However, the small size iPad has a living space. The best opportunity for Apple to launch the small size iPad will be in September, 2012, the traditional iPod conference. This will help Apple develop better the next Christmas market.

Microsoft releases SkyDrive App for Windows phone and iPhone

Microsoft's love affair with iOS isn't over yet. It was OneNote and a “real soon now” commitment on its Lync unified-communications client for the iPad this Monday. Microsoft also announced this week that its Kinectimals game is available for the iPad and iPhone. On December 13, Microsoft made yet another Apple-focused announcement: An iOS version of SkyDrive for iPhone.

Users of Microsoft's SkyDrive cloud storage service now have another way to access and share their files – the newly released SkyDrive App for both Windows phone and iOS devices, which are intended to complement SkyDrive.com's existing mobile interface. "As devices proliferate, having a great experience on the Web is only one piece of a pretty complex puzzle," Microsoft's Mike Torres wrote. "People are choosing where to put their files based on how portable and accessible they are across the various devices they use, therefore, it's critical that we continue to extend the SkyDrive experience to the devices you use every day."

Microsoft's Mike Torres said: "Many still want the full SkyDrive experience from Windows phone, including tasks like browsing their entire SkyDrive, sharing links to folders or files, deleting files, and creating folders." The SkyDrive App allows you to view all of the files and folders in your SkyDrive and those that have been shared with you by others. You can view documents and pictures, create and delete folders, delete files, email links to files and folders (giving recipients either read-only or read-and-write permissions to the file), and download and upload pictures. Moving and renaming files and folders don’t appear to be possible on either platform, however. As a result, phones running Windows Phone 7.5 can now download the SkyDrive App from the Windows phone Marketplace and do just that. For those on iOS, the same app was also released in the App Store.

SkyDrive is a potential competitor in the mobile consumer space with Apple's iCloud, which is available for free with iOS 5. Microsoft's SkyDrive efforts appear to be part of its general market push into a world of connected devices that will increasingly be mobile. It also squares with the "three-screens and a cloud" vision laid out when Ray Ozzie was Microsoft's chief software architect. The idea is to synchronized data across devices. SkyDrive is already facilitating that, in part, by enabling single sign-on capabilities across devices.

Microsoft explained late last month that it has made sharing via SkyDrive more "app-centric." It already enables document collaborations via some of its Office Web Apps, although its "coauthoring" feature used with the Word Web App doesn't exactly work in real time. Other improvements made earlier this year to SkyDrive include simplifications to accessing folder directories and a speeded-up photo browsing experience, as well as the use of AJAX and HTML 5 technologies to improve the user experience. Microsoft has explained that some of the SkyDrive features it built earlier were just too complex, but it is listening to customer feedback and making improvements.

Is Apple iPad 3 coming out in early 2012?

According to a Citi analyst, Apple’s next-generation iPad -- likely called an iPad 3, is expected to come out in early 2012. If recent analysis about Apple's imminent tablet plans are true, the third-generation iPad will arrive sometime between February and April 2012. In a research note sent last Thursday, Richard Gardner said "several sources" indicated that Apple would launch its next-generation iOS tablet as much as a month earlier than it released the iPad 2 in 2011.

Such a device would be similar to the iPad 2, but include Apple's high-resolution retina display technology found on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S by doubling the iPad 3's screen resolution, said analyst Richard Gardner in a research note. The analyst also said that "there do not appear to be any significant technical hurdles remaining" to prevent the launch of a high-resolution iPad, which contradicts previous reports that fitting such a dense screen into an Apple tablet was one of the reasons Apple iPad 2 maintained the 1024 x 768 resolution of the first iPad. Both the first iPad and iPad 2 displays have a pixel density of 132 pixels per inch.

It’s reported that another feature of the next-generation iPad will have the same screen size but will be a bit thicker than the iPad 2, in order to support hardware that would increase the display resolution from 1,024-by-768 pixels to 2,048-by-1,536. iLounge's best source thinks that the iPad 3 will be 0.7 mm thicker, and trade magazine Digitimes has reported that Apple is at least considering a thicker unit in order to accommodate the sensors necessary for the better, so-called Retina Display (so dubbed because, according to Apple, the human eye cannot make out the individual pixels on the screen). If the iPad 3 does come out with a thicker body, it will join in on the great American tradition of emerging from the wintertime fatter than before.

Production of the new iPads is expected to reach 9.5-9.8 million units in the first quarter of 2012. Sales of iPad products totaled 25.06 million in the first three quarters of 2011 and are likely to reach 40 million units for all of 2011, the sources estimated. However, the new Android tablets like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime look to be much better direct competition for the iOS-based iPad than the first generation of tablets based on Google's mobile operating system. Cheaper, smaller device like Amazon's Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet, and even a sub-$100 tablet using a MIPS-based chip are starting to appear.

Apple could head off competition from similarly priced Android tablets at the pass by getting its latest, greatest tablet technology out a bit sooner than expected. That would also have the effect of reducing prices for older versions of the iPad, which would encourage consumers attracted to the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet to instead climb aboard the iOS platform at a discount.

Microsoft will open Windows store for Metro-style Windows 8 App in February

Microsoft on Tuesday brought its Windows 8 road show to San Francisco, where the company previewed its upcoming Windows Store for app developers and media. They will open the online marketplace for Metro-style Windows 8 application in late February 2012. The key ingredients of the Windows Store are easy app discovery from within and without the online marketplace, built-in app trials with quick upgrade paths, support for both x86 and ARM-based hardware, and a flexible business model, Microsoft's Antoine Leblond said.

With Apple's Mac App Store and iTunes Store already operational and selling both computer and tablet applications, Microsoft is keen to highlight the differences and promises to make an application store that was more flexible, more transparent, and ultimately more lucrative for developers than Apple's. The Windows Store will make it easy for Windows customers to find, try and buy useful, high-quality apps from practically anywhere in the world. With code-named "Windows 8" and the Windows Store, developers can enjoy a built-in distribution and update mechanism for their apps. Built using HTML5 and JavaScript, the Windows Store is a fast, fluid, full-screen Metro-style app taking advantage of the Metro-style design principles inspired in Windows 8. Easy to build for, submit to and sell through, the Windows Store is designed with app discoverability and visibility in mind. The Windows Store will open its virtual doors to consumers and begin allowing for submission of free apps for Windows 8 Beta in late February next year.

The Windows Store will support both free and paid applications, with paid applications ranging from $1.49 to $999. As with Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace, developers can offer free trials, with integrated support for converting trials to full versions. Microsoft will provide its own advertising and in-app purchase infrastructure, but these will be strictly optional, if a developer wants to use a different ad network, or its own subscription and billing system, that's not a problem. With a standard validation process that developers can use even before they make their submission and an online tracker that tells them which phase their application is in and how long they can expect the process to take. But money is, for many developers, the most important feature of any online store. The Windows Store will take a 30 percent cut of application sales, just like Apple's store.

The Windows Store follows the path of Apple's Mac App Store, a software marketplace that's built into Mac OS X. That's provided a way for customers to quickly download both free and paid applications for their computers. Microsoft will offer the app marketplace around the world. Leblond said it will support more than 100 languages in 231 different markets. With the dominant operating system software as a lure, the Windows Store could evolve into a meaningful revenue generator for the company, which rang up just shy of $70 billion in the last fiscal year.

Carrier IQ was found in New Android Applications

The company behind the now-notorious Carrier IQ software that has been found to log every keystroke pressed, website visited and text message sent by 150 million mobile phone users. Carrier IQ, of course, professes its innocence, but the company has also received some public support from security researchers who say Carrier IQ software is only tracking diagnostic information and likely is not violating user privacy. Now, Carrier IQ has elaborated upon many arguments with a more detailed breakdown of how its software functions, and a more substantive defense of its practices.

During a recent interview with the Register, Carrier IQ VP of marketing Andrew Coward acknowledged that his company's mobile software logs keystrokes, intercepts text messages and gathers geographic data, but insisted that the overwhelming majority of this information is discarded almost as soon as it comes in, thereby posing virtually no threat to user privacy.

Carrier IQ only retains text messages or keystroke patterns that carry proprietary tags. These tags identify all transmissions that could be used to populate analytic data, including some that may be considered sensitive. If a user drops a call, for instance, the system will note his or her location, and the numbers of each party. In other cases, the company may receive a special SMS, which provides Carrier IQ with important diagnostic information.

Now, Carrier IQ has legal and publicity problems to handle. One new class-action lawsuit names both Carrier IQ and HTC, accusing the companies of violations under the Federal Wiretap Act. Another lawsuit was filed against Carrier IQ as well as HTC and Samsung, both of which have confirmed installing Carrier IQ software on their Smartphone, saying they do so at the request of wireless carriers.

Why Android only? Carrier IQ is no longer supported as of iOS 5 (Apple insists its customers have to opt-in before any information about their Smartphone is shipped off to Apple HQ), and blocking its effects on your iOS 5-based iPhone is super-easy: Click on your Settings button, then General, About, Diagnostics & Usage, and select " Don't Send."

However, Carrier IQ is a bit more integrated within the Android OS – so much so, that you'll need to root your device prior to attempting any removal efforts. But the first step in the process is finding out whether your Smartphone has Carrier IQ installed to begin with. And Lookout's new application makes this a one-touch affair.

Carrier IQ boasts that its software is deployed on more than 141 million handsets, and has operated for several years without any major level of controversy. Clearly, Smartphone would be capable of tracking much of our activity even if Carrier IQ never existed. But the lawsuits filed against Carrier IQ and its customers, and forthcoming responses to Franken's letters, should shed more light on exactly what information is collected and how it is used.

Tips on iOS AssistiveTouch

As an old Apple fan, I always plan to share my experience on iOS tips. Every time I try to conclude tips on iOS, there will be a big upgrade of iOS and many features are changing after upgrade. Today I will introduce the AssistiveTouch on iOS to you and hope you like it.

Actually, iOS provides assistivetouch long time ago, but as the old version of it is really difficult to use and not many iOS users know it very well. However, after the new iOS release, it also brings us a brand new AssistiveTouch to users. It becomes a perfect instead of the Home button and makes the Home button has a long life. Today I will introduce you how to use the AssistiveTouch

Open it and you will find a round picture, yeah right, it is the "AssistiveTouch". Click the icon and you will find that it includes 4 parts. Each part represents the functions corresponding. It is really easy to understand.

The next part is "Gesture", click "Gestures" and you will see 2, 3, 4, 5 four different gestures. Those gestures represent many troublesome operations. For example, if you have an iPad 2 and you need to use 4 fingers slide from down to up to come to the Task Manager Menu. But if you click AssistiveTouch's 4 and you just need one finger to finish the operation. Just imagine that if you are really busy or it is really cold outside, use one finger is much better to use four.
