Viewing Video (.mp4) on Sony walkman nwz-series (a816)

Friday, March 7th, 2008

My new Sony nwz-a816 Walkman mp3 video player (4 gb model) just arrived.

nwza816

After charging and testing it a couple of hours, I ran into a problem, The mp3 player just would’nt play the videofiles I tested.  I got the “Wrong format” error message on my Walkman.

After a couple of minutes googling after forums describing similar problems, I noticed that the videofile had to be in a certain size (width*height in pixels) and a certain bitrate and frame rate. Also the mp3 player only plays .mp4 videofiles with the mpeg-4 codec.

So, I went looking for a propriate program to do the job, converting the files.  I tried 3 other programs before I tested SUPER.
This program did an excellent job, and was just what i needed. It’s also totally free to use.

To be able to playback videofiles on your Sony Walkman nwz-series heres what to do:

uTorrent tuTorial

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

First off…

Note that to complete this tutorial you need to be able to log onto your router to change settings, if you can not do this you can not complete the last part. I’m warning you at this point so you don’t read and work trough half of it only to be pissed off!

I see this alot, people whining about torrents being slow. Taking into consideration how torrents work compared to Direct downloads, in most cases I’d say you are wrong.

Direct download connects to a single computer, sure you can use download accelerators to connect more then once and get more juice, but most servers have anti messures for this.

A torrent download on the other hand, connects to (given there are seeders/leechers) a number of computers, downloading from all those at once. As a result, one can say that given two factors a torrent will allways be faster

  1. You have configured your client and such correctly
  2. The torrent is active (meaning there are people uploading the data)

Now I’m not saying that it would be faster on your computer, just faster, and by this I mean that (I’d like to point out that all of this is from my own experience, I’m now wiz on the subject) most servers these days have a speed capped at somewhere around 200 +/-50 KB/s or so. This means that if you have a line with 150KB/s down, and the server capps you at 200, you will get full speed. However if your line is 500KB/s down, and the server caps at 200, you get 200.If you however were to download from a good torrent I’d bet quite sure that you could achieve 500KB/s down there.

Keylogger v2.0

Friday, July 13th, 2007

This is my self made keylogger software.

It comes as an executable file, and there is no need for any installation.

The program can record all keyboard keystrokes while it remains hidden from the desktop.

This may be used to record your own keystrokes, if needed, and save the whole record to a text file.
