Get Software for free

I would like to share a cool web site called Giveaway of the Day. It gives away software for free for 24 hours. Most of the software would cost $19.99 and up lately the software has been kind of lame but I have gotten some cool stuff before. They also have a Game giveaway of the day. I have gotten a Tetris game from there. I would recommend checking it every day. Here is the link www.giveawayoftheday.com . If you know of any other good sites please post them here.

DVD to ipod

Todays tip is about converting dvds for iPod.

For the first tip you will need acala dvd 3gp ripper found at www.cutedvd.com/html/download.html

O.K. all you have to do is have the settings like in the picture, with video bitrate at excellent, frame size at 320 by 240 , set the output folder, click the + button, open the Video_ts folder, select the title and press the triangle to convert to 3gp. After it is Converted go to the folder then goto tools, folder options, view, and uncheck the hide extensions for known file types.

Select the file and press f2 and change the extension from .3gp to .mp4 and you have now converted a dvd so you can watch it on your iPod .
