How Can You Play Flash SWF Animations on Kindle Fire


The Kindle Fire is kind of perfect family tablet with the best in kids’ entertainment. I've had 4 Android phones, I've had multiple e-readers and my latest 'touch' device is the Le Pan II Android tablet, and I've worked on several iPads, but I finally become a loyal fan to the Kindle Fire. It has a color 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS technology and runs a forked version of Google's Android operating system. Cool, isn’t it?
However, recently I’ve got a question: I download some interesting flash SWF videos from the Web and I want to transfer them to my Kindle, but I fail to do that! How come? After searching Google, I found the content formats supported by Kindle Fire include TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible (Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV, MP4, VP8. That’s why I can’t play SWF movies directly on Kindle Fire.
Then I ask Google how to fix this problem, and I told me to convert SWF to Kindle Fire accepted formats. Since many friends on the BBS suggested me the Doremisoft SWF to Apps Converter (Mac SWF to Apps Converter), I downloaded it and tried, and found it does work perfectly. So here I recommend it to those who have the same problems like me here. Below are the simple guides:
1. Import the SWF you want to convert into this SWF Converter by clicking “Select Files” icon
2. Choose the output profile as MP4 or other video formats accepted by FaceBook, YouTube and most of the popular tablets.
3. Click start button to begin the conversion.
Of course, after the conversion, you can also import SWF to iMovie for editing so that you can make the flash video fancier before upload SWF to FaceBook, or Share SWF on YouTube.
How do you share your favorite clips to your friends? Remember to tell me at my FaceBook and Twitter feeds or the comments below.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HTML5


You may well ask: “How can I start using HTML5 if older browsers don’t support it?” But the question itself is misleading. HTML5 is not one big thing; it is a collection of individual features. So you can’t detect “HTML5 support,” because that doesn’t make any sense. But you can detect support for individual features, like canvas, video, or geolocation.
Now, if you want to improve your web applications, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a concrete example: HTML5 supports all the form controls from HTML 4, but it also includes new input controls. Some of these are long-overdue additions like sliders and date pickers; others are more subtle. HTML5 can be used as an alternative to Adobe Flash. As we all know, the older standard videos were encoded in FLV (before MP4 was supported in Flash), so we need to convert FLV to HTML5 such as converting FLV to WebM so as to make the videos be supported by HTML5 pages.
If you want to convert FLV to HTML5, first you need to get a smart FLV to HTML5 Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac). Doremisoft Video Converter will be your perfect assistant! It can fast convert .FLV to HTML5 OGG/WebM/MP4 file format for IE, Chrome, Safari and more, as well as converting other kind of videos like AVI to WMV. Besides, it’s available for Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8.
To convert FLV to HTML5, or convert AVI to WMV, please follow the guide below:
Step 1: Add the source videos to the converter by clicking “Add Files” icon. Batch conversion is allowed.
Step 2: Hit the profile box of “Convert to” to choose the output format you need. For example, to convert FLV to HTML5 videos, pick up the output format from “Web Share” tab.
Step 3: After the settings, press the big blue “START” button to launch the conversion.
Tips: Doremisoft MP4 to MOV Converter offers users powerful video editing features: You can edit video by Trimming, Cropping, adding special Effect and Watermark to feature the video if necessary.

iMovie Supported Formats


iMovie makes it easy to turn your home videos into your all-time favorite films. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll watch them over and over again. And you’ll share them with everyone. With iMovie, every video you’ve ever recorded is right in front of you, ready to roll. Grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. Chances are you have a camcorder, a digital camera, or an iPhone — and maybe all three. That means one thing: You have a ton of great video. iMovie puts it all in one place and organizes it for you so your video is easy to browse and fun to watch. Just plug in your device, open iMovie, and start importing your video. It appears in your Event Library — the one place you’ll find everything you’ve ever recorded.
iMovie is meant by concept for imports from camcorders, so, it is not meant as an all-purpose, all-codecs editor. Camcorders actually do use dv, mp2 and AVCHD. The last two can only imported via a camcorder, not for instance via drag'n drop a file. iM09 also supports a few other codecs, the underlying QT engine can de-code on the fly, as h264, photojepg and a few others. Site note: 'mov' ist just a media container, no format - means, not all .mov are compatible with iMovie. 'mp4' is a bit confusing: aside ISO-proofed mpeg4, an mp4 can also contain divx encoded video - which is not supported by iMovie. Same with avi: this is an old Windows media container, no 'format' - could contain codecs, which are not supported. Import from camcorder - and you're on the safe site. have a look on Apple's website, about supported devices.
In this regard, if we want to edit all kinds of videos with iMovie such as to import AVI to iMovie we need to do some conversion.
To convert iMovie unaccepted videos, Doremisoft Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac) will absolutely help you a lot. For example, it can convert MOD to iMovie, or MP4 to iMovie with ultrafast speed and high quality.
Besides, it can also convert iMovie files to other file format, such as to Convert iMovie to AVI and more. You can Download it and have a try.

How Can Mac/Windows Users Edit Panasonic HC-X900 1080/60P AVCHD Videos

With the manual ring and manual operation, the X900 is a pleasure to use and gives you the freedom to craft unusually expressive images. What’s more, it is sporting 3MOS System Pro which has achieved a revolutionary leap forward in each of its elements – lens, sensor and engine. The Advanced 3MOS Sensor employs a pixel shifting technology to achieve the equivalent of four times the pixel count of Full-HD. And the Crystal Engine Pro II processes this huge amount of pixels at high speed to produce a remarkable level of Full-HD picture quality.
Panasonic HC-X900 can record FULL HD 3D images in the MVC format by simply mounting the optional 3D Conversion Lens. The optional VW-CLT2 3D Conversion Lens is required for shooting 3D images. Moreover, it shoots 1080/60p (50p) videos (Full-HD, 1920 x 1080, 60 (50) progressive recording) with the ultimate beauty in image quality. But to some extent, it is a headache for most Mac users (and sometimes Windows users) to edit HC-X900 AVCHD in iMovie, FCP, etc. That’s because of Mac does not support AVCHD MTS/M2TS file format. MTS files can only typically be opened and edited using the software included with Sony and Panasonic HD camcorders.
How can we solve this problem? Well, solution can be very easy only if you have a professional Mac AVCHD Converter (AVCHD Converter for Windows) to help. For example, Doremisoft AVCHD Converter can help Panasonic HC-X900 users convert HC-X900 AVCHD to AIC .mov for iMovie/FCP to edit.
In addition, if you have such a camcorder video tool, you can also solve the format incompatibility problems caused by other kinds of cameras like Sony NEX-FS700. For example, when you aim to transfer Sony NEX-FS700 AVCHD to FCP or iMovie, you can use it to convert the AVCHD footages, especially converting Sony NEX-FS700 AVCHD to iMovie/FCP.

UK Media’s Recent Surveys on VCR and PVR


New research suggests that the PVR has killed off the VCR - although many people have a sentimental attachment to the obsolete technology. The rise of digital TV and its associated personal video recorder (PVR) has led to the death of the video cassette recorder (VCR), Freeview has said. --- Source from cable.co.uk
However, another survey claimed another opinion that 29% Of UK Citizens would like to Keep VCRs. The survey (TeleScope 2013), made to primarily investigate the trends of TV and PVRs (Personal Video Recorders) in the region found that people in the UK currently have a cumulative 455m hours of TV content stored on their PVRs (primarily through brands such as Sky+ and YouView), an amount that would take close to 52,000 years to get through on its own.
During the past years, the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) once gave a big hit to the consumer electrics market for its stunning feature of recording TV programs automatically with high definition up to 1080i. Later, since the HD PVR 2 Game Edition came out, many game lovers began to use it to record their game plays and shared them to friends. In a word, the PVR has largely facilitated people’s daily life. And now, PVR heat the market again in small towns in India for ‘nano’ cinemas, according to an Indian media report recently.
PVR can be one of the greatest inventions to the modern world, as far as I am concerned. Although sometimes there will be difficulties to import PVR to media player like importing Humax PVR to WMV to Windows Media Player, that is just a piece of cake if you have a smart Mac PVR Software to help, because such software like Doremisoft Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac) can help users convert nearly all video formats to another, such as converting PVR to WMV and more.
I think we should really be of gratitude for such a great invention like PVR, for it has made our life much more convenient.
