want to convert/compress a video, try HandBrake….

now a days, whenever i look for any software…. my search string begins with “open source” instead of “freeware” or “shareware”… and i am gaining confidence…
i found this software quite handy and useful..
just now converted a 730 MB movie file into a 198 MB (i asked it to make 200 MB) mp4 (H264 based)….
it took around 20 minutes for 2 pass conversion, which is fine for me…. and the video quality better than what I was expecting..

how to convert you usb wired mouse into wireless one…
(this “howto” may not work for you, but it worked for me)
1) you need a “bag”, made of cloth or any soft material.
2) keep the bag in a dark area or corner.
2) keep some food items in it, daily.
3) then after 15 days of this practice…
4) put your “USB WIRED MOUSE” into the bag..
5) leave the “MOUSE” in there for 24 hours….
6) check your bag…
7) if you are unlucky enough, your “WIRED MOUSE” is “WIRELESS” now… =|
Let me know, if it doesn’t work for you…
