Digital media port


While we're not sure if the "Digital Media Port" on Sony's new line of A/V receivers is anything more than a glorified USB port, it looks like it won't be left unused for long, with the company wasting no time in announcing a range of accessories that'll take advantage of it. Likely to attract the most attention is the $100 TDM-IP1 iPod dock (pictured above), which isn't the first iPod-happy device we've seen from Sony, but is still a rare enough occurrence to make us to a double-take. Rounding out the line-up is the $80 TDM-BT1 Bluetooth audio adapter (check it out after the break), the $200 TDM-NC1 WiFi network audio adapter for streaming music from your PC, and the sure-to-be-best-seller TDM-NW1 Network Walkman cradle, which will set you back $50. Look for the Bluetooth and Network Walkman accessories to be the first to roll out in March, with the iPod dock following in May, and the WiFi adapter bringing up the rear in June.



Digital media converter

Digital Media Converter makes it easy for you to convert your video and audio files from one format to another. Organize and batch convert between: DVD, VCD, AVI (DivX, MS MPEG4, uncompressed, etc), MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (PAL, NTSC), MP3, MOV, WMA, WMV, DVR-MS, and WAV formats.
With Digital Media Converter you can easily make DVD format files, extract the sound track from a video file (or DVD movie) and save just the audio as an MP3, or transform your video or audio files into a special streaming format to play from a web site. The program's mass-conversion feature lets you select a group of files or entire folders, and convert them all in one run. Digital Media Converter makes your TV shows and movies portable. Record movies on your Media Center PC, and view them on your Apple iPod, Microsoft Zune, Sony PSP, PDA, or almost any portable video player. Put your DVD collection in your pocket with Digital Media Converter.
You don't need to be a professional to use Digital Media Converter. The simple three-step process makes it easy: just select the files to batch convert, select the format to convert into, and start the conversion! The program can even be set to automatically shut down the computer when the conversion is finished.Digital Media Converter automatically fixes many problems with video files during conversion. The program will determine whether any decoders, codecs or other tools are needed and help find and install them. The program's default settings are carefully designed to create audio and video files that are both high quality and small in size. You can use the advanced settings to change the video frame size, audio/video compression codec, frequency, and the number of channels in an audio stream.

Top digital media companies

"Thank you to the 500+ participants in the 5th Annual Digital Media Conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Tyson’s Corner, VA. The event was a great success attracting the best and brightest from the DC region and beyond. The event also caught the eye of many leading media outlets including the Washington Post and C-SPAN, who aired interviews from the conference on "The Communicators," its new weekly series featuring interviews with "the people who shape our digital future." The latest show, which aired Saturday on C-SPAN and Monday on C-SPAN2, featured interviews with our Publisher & CEO, Ned Sherman; Robert Quicksilver, Chief Content Officer, Tidal TV; Ashwin Navin, President & Co-Founder, Bit Torrent; and Alan Warms, General Manager, Yahoo News. The interviews cover the conference, the state of broadband television, the future of online news and the sharing of software and media content over the Internet. Here is the video recently posted on YouTube:"

Art event #2

The Rory Kennedy speech was really interesting in that she explored the range of emotions and experiences that have to do with women. She started her passion for film-making when she attended college at Brown. She was a women's study major and had an interest in social issues. After her last paper about crack mothers, she filmed them in a way that showed them trying to get help vs. what the news was saying. She eventually found a producer and raised the money for that first film. She titled the film Women of Substance and it took 2 years to film. In total, she has made 23 documentaries. To name a few:

American Hollow, which is about domestic violence in Mississippi, is heart wrenching because she gets inside a family that has to deal with hardships every day of their lives.

A Boy's Life, which "family is the source of the problem" is about a welfare change and how it would effect children with mental issues. It also takes place in Mississippi and deals with a 7 year old boy who was out of control but couldn't get the social services he needed.

Pandemic (Facing Aids), which is about the global aids epidemic. She traveled to 5 different countries to get footage of different people with aids and showed the physical hardships that they deal with is nothing compared to the psychological aspect that they deal with.

Ghost of Abu Ghraib, which is the "steepest fall of grace" is about going into filming thinking the people as monsters but realizing she connects to them and was surprised by their humanity.

Internet

With the internet expanding everyday, there are more things becoming available to people and with each new thing, an older method is becoming obsolete. For instance, why waste your time going to the movie gallery when you can just watch movies or missed tv shows online? There are a number of sites and one example is: www.quicksilverscreen.com
