Miro Video Converter

Finally, a free (beer and spirit) tool to convert video to formats used by most of the devices I own that isn’t loaded with crapware, bloatware or spyware.

I’m downloading it as we speak. Am yet to try it, but it’s got to be easier than figuring out the command line fu needed to get VLC to convert video for my ipod.

Cool future of publishing video

Digital TV woes

Moved to the new place and now I can’t seem to get SBS Digital reception at the new place (mythbusters and man vs wild are just too much to miss).

Turns out the house has an old style analogue antenna, and I’m getting oversignal interference from channels 1-5, and the only UHF channel it affects is SBS. Annoying thing is I can get the teacher’s channel and channel 44 (higher in frequency than SBS).

Just ordered a new Fracarro LPV34H, DVB-T antenna and hoping that will fix it.

Update: A Fracarro LP345HV actually arrived, but I installed it, and that did the trick.
