Transcoding Audio
Ever ran into the problem of having an audio-file in one format but really needing it in another format? Then check BeSweet GUI, it’s awesome!
Encoding AVI to MPEG files
Just a little note about TMPEGEnc 2.5x which is a fantastic, no non-sense video encoding program that just works. It can encode your (DV-)AVI files into MPEG. Options include PAL/NTSC, VideoCD/SVCD/DVD with or wihout Variable bitrate and all that stuff. The point here is that you can actually configure it down to the tiny details,…
Doom9 DVD tutorials
Similarly to the Digital Fact Book, the Doom9 page is a fantastic, more hands-on page full of tutorials and in-depth knowledge about video-enconding and transcoding. It has been online for years and is still updated frequently. Highly recommended!
Quantel’s Digital Fact Book

ARGUI
ARGUI, the Augmented Reality Graphical User Interface, is a layer on top of ARToolKit for Windows which allows to use the familiar desktop 2D point and click metaphor on arbitrarily positioned and deformed surfaces in 3D Augmented Reality applications. ARGUI was the technical part of my “Diplomarbeit” which is the equivalent to a final year…
