Non-linear video editing tools are great, but they're not always the best tool for the job. This is where a powerful tool like ffmpeg becomes useful. This tutorial by Elliot Isaacson covers the basics of transcoding video, as well as more advanced tricks like creating animations, screen captures, and slow motion effects.
Shawn Powers reviews the HP Mini-Note portable computer.

There's nuttin like a Cool Project to give you some relief from the summer heat, so get out your parka cuz we got a bunch of em. First up is the BUG, not a bug, The BUG. It's got a GPS, camera and more, in a hand-sized package that's user programmable. The BUG does everything. It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Get one now. Need a software version of a Swiss Army knife? Take a look at Billix, and don't leave home without it. Then, chew on this one, an X server on a Gumstix device driving an E-Ink display. Need more storage? How about 16 Terabytes? Can do.
And, of course, we have the usual cast of characters: Marcel, Reuven, Dave, Kyle, Doc, plus the new kid on the block Shawn Powers. But it doesn't stop there: build a MythTV box on a budget, build your own GIS system, set up the tools to monitor your enterprise and more. Finally, remember The War of the Worlds? Now you can play too.
An Introduction to Gambas
On May 8th, 2006 Bob Ewart (not verified) says:
Interesting article. It would be even more interesting if the application even worked.
Problems I've discovered so far:
1. Database -- table listing has fields status_id and status. Status_id is never referenced. (Maybe used in following articles?)
2. Text tells us to create combo boxes cmdBugId and cmdStatus, but code refers to cmbBugId and cmbStatus. (Typo?)
3. Text never tells us how to get from the first form to the other two.
4. btnAccept calls dat.coder_id which is never defined.
5. The downloaded files do not include the .project file or .gambas folder. Which is ok since it is obvious that the author never tried to run the program.
