Convert videos for your N97

Convert videos for your N97

Like most mobile phones, N97 doesnt support all the video formats available out there. but it does support MP4, and we gonna convert everything else to MP4.

Download : Videora Ipod Convertor [yes, ipod!]. Works like a charm. plus, its free.

This software “can convert all types of video files (avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, vob, mpeg, DVD’s, YouTube, etc.) into the proper video formats (MPEG-4, H.264)” [from official website]

Select “iPod touch 3rd gen” as device. This is the profile list you get when you use the advanced power mode:
n97_convert_videos

For the best video quality (and longest conversion time), select MPEG-4 VGA 1024 kbps Stereo/128kbps Avi Sync. Time taken to convert a 58mb .avi file : 18 mins. The converted .mp4 file is 37mb.

Hope this helps. =)

Review: BBCaller for N97 (+ 3 Free license)

Review: BBCaller for N97 (+ 3 Free license)

So here we are with our second giveaway. =)

BBCaller is a fun app which fakes an incoming call. After you start the application, a fake phone call will be activated after a delay (configurable, default is 30s). You can set the caller’s name/number and operator name, also you can choose whether to vibrate or blink during the fake call. When the fake call starts, press the red button to stop it. [Copied directly from the official site! :p ]

Note: If you set any other operator than your own, You will get a second line when your fake call comes. Most would not like that, so keep that in mind.

As of now, the ‘answer’ and ’silence’ button doesnt work [you will have to press the red button to stop the fake call], but i have had a talk with the developer and i think he will be updating it sometime soon.

This is a fun app which you may use to get out of sticky situations :p
