Default Re: How to transfer pictures, video, & ringtones for Motorola RAZR V3
My first ringtones were distorted and almost blew the speakers so here's
what I found out that I WISHED I had known when I created my first set of
ringtones.
Hints on creating Motorola RAZR V3 ringtones.
- Create a 21 to 25 second WAV file using Audacity freeware on WinXP
- Don't go any higher than a sampling rate of 22.05 Khz
- Effect Fade In at about 2% and Effect Fade Out at around 19%
- Make sure you "Split Stereo Track" into a single track
- Then, close one of the two tracks
- Ctrl+A, Quick Mix,
- Increase volume with Ctrl+A, Effect, Equalize to +9 db at 1000 Hz
- Remove base with Ctrl+A, Effect, High Pass Filter, 150 Hz
- Compress to MP3 with RazorLame freeware
- Set constant bitrate by unchecking the variable bit rate (VBR)
- Set bitrate 32 kbps mono, set sampling rate to 22.05 kHz
- The final ringtone file size should be less than 120 kb on disk
Transfer the ringtone to your Motorola RAZR V3 using Motorola Phone Tools
or P2KTools.

Shuttle PC suggestions
First off lets revise your setup a little here:
HITACHI HARD DRIVES: Now do you REALLY want a HArd drive that just reuses IBM drives? the IBM drives were the worst drives out there and even IBM got into a LOT of legal troubles over those drives. Do not be fooled by their huge capicities. Their drives are junk. So are Maxtors. Go Seagate for a nice big 5 year warrenty and reliability. Or Samsung or Western Digital.
6600GT: By far the most unreliable video card series out there. If you must have a Geforce card then get a 6800GT. If not then go to the superior company and get a ATI card. They run cooler, quieter, and better then any Geforce card. Do a search on 6600GT on these forums and you will see reports of caps blowing up, dying, overheating, artifacting...the whole works. Save your self the pain and hassle of that series.
TV TUNER CARD: Currently the only TV TUNER cards that work with MCE 2005 are as follows:
ATI E- HOME WONDER
ATI TV WONDER ELITE
ATI HDTV WONDER
NVIDIA TV TUNER MCE
HAUPPAUGE PVR MCE350
HAUPPAUGE PVR MCE500 ( DUAL TUNER GOODNESS IN ONE CARD )
ATI ALL IN WONDER 9000 and up ( requires hacked drivers )
all of these cards use HARDWARE ENCODING except for the AIWs
Keep in mind that if you decide to go AMD MCE 2005 will not work correctly for tv as it requires a hyperthreading CPU. This has been bypassed in my hacked drivers....but has not been tested in a 64 bit setup yet.
Also keep in mind that if you decide to go with a P chassis like that SB95P that it has no normal PCI slot...so a normal TV TUNER card will not fit until they make PCIe1x versions. ( soon to come according to ATI )
Building your own PC is more rewarding and cheaper. Go for it!
Hope that this helps you out.

HTPC project
The biggest question was whether to build a Linux box that would serve as a DVR or to go with a pre-made Mac-mini. I really dig the MacOSX operating system, and I love Linux too. The MacMini will fit a lot better in the cabinet, and I can configure it easily with Bluetooth (for wireless keyboard/mouse/game controllers), as well as Airport extreme for easy connection with the iBook.

Quick Question about S-Video, Component, etc.
From best to worst:
VGA
Component
S-Video
Anything else (excepting RGB)
I have not personally used component video before, but even S-Video is a
huge jump over composite video (NB: make sure you meant component and not
composite video, there's a world of difference; they both have a pair of
sound jacks, but composite has a single video jack, while component has
three). S-Video separates out the color signal, which is normally encoded
in the high frequency range of the NTSC signal. This allows for sharper
pictures and better color, and gets rid of some classic NTSC artifacts (like
'dot crawl' around the edge of a brightly colored area) in the process.
Component video separates the color signal into two lines, so should produce
higher fidelity color, but be the same otherwise. Lastly, VGA is different
largely because it isn't interlaced, so you get true 60 fps at high
resolution, and the picture is much more solid (in any other mode, you may
notice that if there's a vertical line moving horizontally, it will break up
visibily into a sort of comb pattern due to interlacing). However, due to
the sharpness and to the difference in how the Dreamcast processes the
signal internally, jaggies will be more visible in VGA mode (not as much
more visible as some people think -- this is due to the fact that 99% of
people who use a VGA box are also doing it on a PC monitor, which is
designed for much higher resolutions, and therefore brings out each pixel
very, um, squarely, which exacerbates the problem; if you happen to have a
large, low dot pitch monitor, then you'll get something that looks very much
like an arcade game itself).
The difference between them is basically how well seperated the signals
are. There are three basic colors in video, along with amplitudes for
luminance (brightness). S-video is Chroma (C) and Luma (Y)
Luminance was already seperated out in the move from Composite to S-video,
so expect no further improvement from there on up in the contrast department.
Component is akin to S-video, as it still has the Luminance (Y) seperated out,
but it goes one step further and seperates the chroma into 2 signals, (Pr) and
(Pb), or the red and blue. Green rides along on both of them in a sum and
difference encoding scheme.
VGA just goes all out and seperates everything. A good VGA wouldn't use
the 15-pin adapter IBM put on it's VGA card because of impedance mismatches
and inadequate shielding for high quality video, but since that's what IBM
used, we've been stuck with it as a standard.
Now, I use S-video, and I'll tell you why. The color information isn't all
that high of a 'resolution' (for lack of a better term). The high quality in
the picture resides in the (Y), or Luma. That's where the difference is made,
and frankly Component doesn't get much better than S-video because there's
not enough difference left in the chroma (C) to make it worthwhile.
Also, I have several systems hooked up to my TV set, and while somebody may
be making a Component A/V switchbox, I've never seen one. So, as a matter
of convenience, S-video is a better choice for my videogaming apps, especially
since there's only one console (the PS2) which can even source that.
But wait! Didn't I just say that VGA (RGB) is the best? Why yes, I did.
So, why aren't DVD players and TV's and new consoles using that?
Have you had your conspiracy theory yet today?
Remember what I said about the (Y) or Luma in S-video and Component? Well,
VGA doesn't have that. It doesn't need it, as the intensity is now in the
- seperated color signals. That's GREAT! Isn't it? Well, not if you're
a movie mogul and you like a scheme called Macrovision. You see,
Macrovision lives on that (Y) line, and without it, there's no Macrovision
and no copy protection. So, all Component did was to try and keep the
Macrovision protection in a slightly higher quality of video, but it's
still not as good as VGA.
I've been using Pelican's $20 s-video switch. It's sold next to the PS2s
for some reason...
