Introduction This thesis introduces Vmoox [1] - a cross-platform video publishing solution for mobile devices. It will detail the need, timeliness and profit potential of a real-time video transcoding solution for mobile devices as well as the suggested implementation. While this model is intended for use in all smart phones, the current prototype implementation is for the iPhone. This implementation can be modified to fit other and future smart phones. 1. No Longer Science Fiction – Ubiquitous Computing And The Smart Phone Explosion The term Ubiquitous Computing has been growing in popularity in recent years, as has the phenomena it attempts to describe. Simply put, this means that computers are everywhere. More than ever before, computers have ceased to stand alone as “computing devices” but rather, have been integrated into everyday items to help them become “smarter”. We now use computers in our offices, homes, stores, cars, banks, hospitals, kitchens and gyms. From washing machines to coffee makers, to car alarms to defibrillators; like it or not, it is hard to deny that computers have made their way into nearly every aspect and activity of our modern lives. Similarly, the Internet, which 30 [2] years ago seemed to most of us the stuff of science fiction, has become an inseparable part of our lives and culture. As a society, especially in the United States, we have come to expect and rely a great deal on both computers and the Internet. Perhaps the greatest manifestation of this phenomenon is the smart phone explosion. IBM introduced the first smart phone in 1993 [3]. Its then revolutionary features included games, a pager, send and receive fax capabilities, a calculator and a notepad. Costing around $900 [4], this was a gadget that was far from ubiquitous. But it was the beginning of a trend that would change the way we access and use information. - 7 - Figure 1: Pre-iPhone: BellSouth/IBM Simon Personal Communicator (1993) In 2001, RIM introduced the first Blackberry - a device optimized for wireless email use. By June 2007 over 8 million people were hooked. In the 8 years since Blackberries came on to the scene, we have witnessed incredible advances in both the number and functions of smart phones. Today, the vast majority of cellular phones are not just phones. A recent survey showed that around the world, one out of ten phones is a smart phone [5], a number that is expected to double by 2013 [6]. Smart phones have changed the way we access and use information in a drastic way. They have become all-in-one devices that we rely on for a great deal of information, accessible at all times. Email servers, clocks and calendars, maps and navigation software, photo and movie cameras, video games, music players and calculators are just a few of the features that now come standard in every smart phone. Many of these features rely on the Internet to function. It’s the Internet that tells the calendar feature what day and time it is if, lets say, your phone’s battery died last night at 3 am. When your Blackberry buzzes with a new email, it’s because your phone connected to the Internet and retrieved that email from your email server. Until recently, smart phones relied on the Internet for purely ‘behind the scenes’ assistance. Until the iPhone changed everything. 2. All Hail The King – The Rise Of The iPhone Within the smart phone revolution, one major player is widely acknowledged as a game changer – the iPhone. While the Blackberry allowed users to access email on their cell phone, the iPhone brought the Internet in all its glory into the palm of our hand. In no small part thanks to Apple’s signature user-friendly design and aggressive marketing, the iPhone turned the smart phone from a tech-y solution for workaholics, into the must-have gadget for everyone. - 8 - But behind what is, depending on your point of view, either brilliant design or overrated hype was the true technological revolution of the iPhone – the Internet was no longer a background player. It was front and center, just as we were used to seeing it on our desktop computers. On the iPhone, our maps look like the maps we are used to using when looking up directions to our favorite restaurant; we can watch our favorite you Tube videos, check the weather and Google just like we’re used to. The iPhone was no longer a phone with extra capabilities - it was the Internet, in the palm of your hand. Besides being a miniature version of our desktop computers (with a phone and music player built in) the iPhone changed our technological landscape by copying the Internet not only in form but also in concept, it was a device specifically designed for growth and the sharing of information. The iPhone’s true genius lies in its 'apps'. With over 25,000 different downloadable applications and more than 800 million downloads [7], the AppStore allows the community of users to continuously devise and implement new functions for the iPhone. But for all its brilliance, the iPhone (along with its smart-phone counterparts) has hit a major stumbling block as it intersects with the other major Internet revolution of recent years – video content. 3. Watch It Online – Video On The Internet In recent years, online video content has skyrocketed. As of November of 2008, Americans spent 12.5 percent of their time online viewing videos [8], watching over 14 billion clips a month [9]. You Tube’s ‘most watched’ clip has more than 123 million views [10] compared to 2008’s record setting Super Bowl which managed a ‘modest’ audience of 97.5 million [11].

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • How to Convert AVI to MOV on Mac
    Copy Right www.imelfin.com How to Convert AVI to MOV on Mac Mac QuickTime video player supports MOV instead of Microsoft AVI. By converting AVI to MOV on Mac, people will be able to play AVI videos on Mac. As different operating systems, Windows and Mac provide different video player applications with respective video formats supported. While AVI is an old yet widely used video container format launched by Microsoft, MOV is a relatively modern format exclusively for the Mac platform and can be played by Mac's default player, QuickTime. Although MOV is more advanced with lossy MP4 codecs B-Frames supported, the fact is, people can't play AVI videos on Mac. This post will show you how to convert AVI to MOV on Mac, then you will be able to play AVI on Mac as easily as MOV videos. Here we will use imElfin Video Converter to convert AVI to MOV on Mac, which supports both open AVI files (without DRM) and DRM-protected AVI videos.
