HTC HD2 - How to convert video to resolution 480 x 800 tutorial

Picture shows the result of converting to 480 x 800. You can see the subtitle clearly. Using the wrong resolution will cost part of the video especially the subtitle to be crop out.


I just bought the HTC HD2. The screen is really big at 4.3 inch. I bought it because i wanted to watch video. When I first started using it I have a big problem looking for the right video converter software at 480 x 800 resolution. I tried various software and manage to get one that is perfect for HD2 video converting.


The software i use is Xilisoft software. They do not have the option to specifically convert video for HD2 mobile phones but they can convert 480 x 800 resolution using other phone setting. I trial and error many times with different software and finally hit the right one software. I wanted to find the exact resolution for HD2 as I wanted to watch japanese anime with subtitles. If i use other resolution then the video size will be crop and I will not be able to view the subtitle.


How to convert to video resolution 480 x 800.
1. Go to Profile - Android - Nexus One Mpeg
2. Under video codec change the Video Size to 800 x 480.
3. Add files. You can add single or multiple files
4. Convert.

I like this software because its easy to use, can add multiple files quickly and let it convert while i sleep. Plus most of all it has the resolution that i required for HD2.

BELKIN Surge Strip Surge Protector - Economy series F9E410sa2M (Unboxing/Review)

BELKIN Surge Strip Surge Protector - Economy series F9E410sa2M. RM59 bought from PC fair. It has a lifetime warranty. If damage either go to the shop that i bought from or call the toll line for replacement. Should the plug be damage you can get a one-on-one replacement. In addition there is a RM1000 coverage should your appliance be damage during lightning strike. The claims will be base on the current market value of your fried equipment.

In addition the plug is 4 socket and can support phone line.

Strangely i could not find this model in Belkin official website. Only can find this model littered over the internet by other retailers....

The back of the packaging stating description

Yellow colour: My economy series protect up to 13000 Amps with a max RM1000 claim. When i buy i did not understand why there is a price segment so i bought the cheapest model. I understand once i read the explanation at the back. Looks like 13000 is actually pretty low!! In the internet the usual lightning can be from 5,000 - 20,000 amps. Or bigger ones up to 200,000amps!

Red colour: Home series up to 25,000 Amps/1181 Joules. Recommend for personal computers, up to 27" TV, phone/fax/modem. Warranty claim RM5,000

Blue colour: Superior series up to 45,000 Amps/1940 Joules. Recommend for Laser printers/scanners, all TV, audio/video components. Warranty claim RM10,000

Mustard colour: Gold series up to 90,000 Amps/3240 Joules. Recommend for professional workstation, home theater systems, Ethernet networks. Warranty claim up to RM25000.

Lifetime warranty

Instruction manual

My modem is protected also. Insert the phone in Input. Output is the cable to the modem.

4 plugs. If you notice there is only 1 switch. A little annoying that there is only 1 switch when I only wanted to restart certain switch at times like my modem when there is suddenly no internet connection.

Links below shows the review when they claim the Belkin warranty. Looks like we should not take for granted that if we have the surge protector that we should be 100% assured that our electrical components will not be fried from lightning. All the user below use more expensive models than me and their computer still has been fried. The claims are valued base on the current market price of your equipment. And general comment is that we should call the local Malaysia office at 1800 81 2076 or +60 3 7983 3010 instead of the international number that route to India or Philippines. Hem... not sure how i am goin to claim mine when i stay in JB though...............

The Unboxing

Specification

Whats inside:

1. Manuels: Quick Setup Guide, Warranty Card (shows above with the address in front), User's Guide (CD).
2. Cables: Power Cord, D-Sub Cable, DVI Cable. In short analog and digital cable provided. But HDMI cable not provided.
3. Others: Stand/Support, Stand Connector, Cleaning Cloth.
Free USB cup warmer and Headset.

Since my cpu is pretty old version, I use the DVI cable and kept the analog cable.

Beautiful design with touch screen features

Something different about this LCD as oppose to my BenQ model is the touch screen feature.The button shown:Menu button/Magic bright/Brigtness/Auto Adjustment/ On off button. They look really stylish and beautiful but the part that i dont like is that I need to find the off button in the dark before i sleep.

Magic Eco is a power saving mode. You can adjust 50/75/100% power saving.
Magic angle. You can adjust in the menu whether you are lying down, sitting, standing. Basically you can see the screen clearly from every angle.
1080 HD: Support Full HD
70 000 Dynamic Contrast which is rather high compare to the other competitors.
Soft power off: Consume 0.3walt of power during standby mode. Normally its 45walts. So you can save electricity.


Beautiful design with great display and touch screen buttons. Full HD with 70,000:1 Dynamic Contrast . Can be viewed in every angle plus power saving mode. This LCD is a great buy!

Bought new gadget due to lightning strike

One day while coming back from work at 7pm I realize that my 19 inch LCD is not working, my modem has only 1 light blinking and my network card has busted. The funny thing is that my dad has already switch off all the plugs at 5pm that day and that on the same day I read the newspaper that there is an ang moh saying that we are quiet ignorant when our country has lots of lightning strike in Malaysia. Looks like even though the plug have been switch off, the lightning still travels from the phone/modem line. Good thing my CPU is relatively working. I use the word relatively as it is still working but now it takes longer time to load. So i am not sure whether there is anything wrong with the CPU.

Now that my electrical gadget has busted and the sadness has dissipated, its time for shopping! I have wanted to fix a wireless connection for a long time and upgrade my LCD but never really got a chance to upgrade since my present ones are working fine till now.

Bought a D-Link Wireless Modem Router DSL-2640T, TP-Link 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter TL-WN321G and a Samsung B2230 LCD. Price for the modem is RM175 bought from Grex Multimedia which is more expensive than PC Fair price of around RM168. For the TP Link Wireless USB adapter bought for RM38. The price is reasonable compare to Belkin which is around RM50 for the same type of models. The Samsung LCD bought for RM539. Also bought a surge protector this time. I bought the Surge Strip Surge Protector from Belkin - Economy series for RM59 from E Cube Trading. Interestingly Grex Multimedia sold the same surge protector more expensive by about RM10-RM20. This is to share which shop to avoid if you decide to buy any PC equipment. All in all I spend RM811 as a result of a lightning strike. Moral of the story, better be save then sorry pls buy a good surge protector!!
