I love watching movies whether i'm viewing them on my high-def LCD television or my home computer and laptops. Watching movies on a television is simple enough, just choose the source of the program whether its the dvd ( HD-DVD, Blueray) player or cable ( satellite) system and you are good to go. But viewing a movie or video content on a computer is a bit more complicated because of the different video codecs that are available.
Choosing a media player is a personal choice but using a good one makes it easier to launch a video without worrying about the format. Recently i came across a media player that is simple to use but contains enough options to satisfy even the most advance users. The name of the application is the GOM Player which is an easy to use media player that supports most of the video formats ( AVI, Divx, Mpeg, DAT and many more) with its own embedded codec system. Therefore you don't need to look for a particular codec each time you launch a video content.
Another amazing feature of the GOM Player is the ability to play video files that are still being downloaded or playing a broken AVI files! In addition, the GOM Player supports advance features such as setting toggle keys, VMR modes, detailed resolution and many more options. For those who wants to pimp their player, one can customize the skin by simply downloading them from the site.
The one feature that i really like about the GOM Player is the ability to capture a still image from a video. By just clicking on the control panel button on the lower right corner of the player and clicking the screen capture button, one can capture any video image and saving it to your computer. Imagine playing a wedding video or birthday video and you want to capture a particular scene, all you have to do is point and click the screen capture button to save the image. So if you have a lot of old home movies that you transferred to the DVD format, start viewing them and capture a scene that you want to save and share with family members.
Overall, i found the GOM media player an excellent application and the program is "FREE"!

A few post below i did a piece on backing up your precious digital media like photos and videos. Most of these files are collecting digital dust on our hard drive and they are basically neglected.
What if you can revive some of these videos and photos by doing a simple editing using a web tool like Jumpcut. Let's face it, a lot of videos we shoot today are either boring or too long so we don't normally share them with friends and families.
Jumpcut is a web tool were you can upload your videos, audio and photos for editing and sharing. This tool is perfect for those who shoot a lot of videos using a digital camera or a cell phone. Since most of these files are small ( unlike a footage from a digital camcorder),a simple editing task is fairly easy to do using Jumpcut.
Jumpcut is design to be simple and user friendly so a person with limited knowledge of editing or no knowledge at all can easily jump on using this tool. For those who are semi pro/pro will have to look elsewhere bacause this tool incoporates simple editing features.
The video remixing ( view sample below) feature is basically creating your own version of someone else's video. By adding your own style and content to the existing video or videos, a new version is created with a the additional footage. The remixing feature is a great way for novice to experiment with different editing style and presentation.
Finally, you can share all those movie masterpiece that you created within the Jumpcut community. At the same time, you can view other member's videos and make comments and learn from their technique. You can also grab other member's videos and incoporate them to your project or collaborate with a member and create a unique production.
So have fun with Jumpcut and share your video creations to the world!
5 reasons to use Jumpcut:
- FREE!
- Unlimited upload
- No software to download
- Post and share your videos
- Remix videos
Watch the remix video below created by a member from the Jumpcut community.

What happens if you mix all the digital photos and videos from any mobile users and turn them into one giant digital mosaic art.
This is a Japanese site but don't panic some of the contents are in English so you will be able to navigate the page. You might have to wait for the page to load depending on your internet connection. But believe me, its worthed because the beautiful mosaic page accompanied by a digital synthsize music is simply awesome.
The Eye Project is a work-in-progress site from mobile communication company KDDI to eventually merge PC and Mobile Life. It allows anyone to post their digital photos and videos to the Eye Project site. Whether the content you upload is from a webcam or a cell phone, the image will be mix together with other people's creation and they will be shown in a mosaic patterns until they are click on and viewed.
So check the Eye Project and upload your own content on this mosaic digital art.
