bueno fui a chicago a una conferencia por una semana y a visitar a mi tio milos savcic

Is not cool to only be able to browse movies and not been able to see them unless they are mpeg4 on the ps3… so a fast and easy way to convert them is this:

First install GPAC
(GPAC is an implementation of the MPEG-4 Systems standard developed from scratch in ANSI C)

using gentoo:
emerge media-video/gpac
if using other system:
apt-get install gpac or just get it from the home page here

I found this lite batch script the other day on the ps3forums:

#!/bin/sh
##Released under the GPL.
## www.subvida.com
## Carlos Rivero
function usage {
cat eof $0 inputFile outputFile bitrate
where
    inputFile: The video to convert
    outoutFile: The output video
    bitrate: bitrate for the output (ex: 2000)
EOF
exit 1
}
[ $# -lt 3 ] && usage

echo "EXECUTING COMMAND: mencoder $1 -ovc x264 -oac faac -x264encopts subq=6:pass=1:bitrate=$3:bframes=3:partitions=p8x8,b8x8,i4x4:weight_b:threads=auto:nopsnr:nossim:frameref=3:mixed_refs:bime:brdo:level_idc=41:direct_pred=auto:trellis=1 -o "$2.avi""
echo "Now converting to AVC.  This will take the most time." + `date`

mencoder $1 -ovc x264 -oac faac -x264encopts subq=6:pass=1:bitrate=$3:bframes=3:partitions=p8x8,b8x8,i4x4:weight_b:threads=auto:nopsnr:nossim:frameref=3:mixed_refs:bime:brdo:level_idc=41:direct_pred=auto:trellis=1 -o "$2.avi"

echo "Now converting avi to MP4, due to limitations."
MP4Box -aviraw video $2.avi

mv $2_audio.raw $2_audio.aac

(how to browse and play videos and mp3s with your ps3 from your linux box)

I wanted to share my videos and MP3’s from my linux box (in my case gentoo) with my PS3 with out having to transfer them so here are the steps to make it happen…

first you need to get net-libs/libupnp

emerge net-libs/libupnp
or
yum install libupnp (from the kbs-CentOS-Extra repository for CentOS)

*note it has to be equal or higher than version 1.4.2
if you are using another distro you can get it from http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/

then download this great application that was developed for the GeeXboX called uShare

wget http://ushare.geexbox.org/releases/ushare-0.9.10.tar.bz2
then decompress the bz2 file
tar xvjf ushare-0.9.10.tar.bz2
then go into the folder
cd ushare-0.9.10
now lets configure and compile
./configure --prefix=/usr
then
make
make install
now you can run it
ushare -c /home/DIRECTORY TO SHARE1 -c /DIRECTORY TO SHARE2 &
after doing this go to: http://localhost:49152/web/ushare.html
if you see the ushare page everything went ok and now you should be able to see your linux box from the ps3

*UPDATE: Only VIDEO via uShare works, MP3 playback don’t work yet under uShare yet…

From the command line:
emerge lame
emerge twolame

autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
then just run it:
fuppes
*make sure you configure it via the webinterface and rebuild the database

I was able to play MP3’s, Photos and Movies with Fuppes

Saw this on the Compiz site, it’s a plugin called Lowfat. Really worth checking out. Developed by somebody called “MacSlow” its in the early alpha stage but there is a git repo availible, download

Bueno pase un par de semanas en venezuela (maracaibo y punto fijo)…

aqui hay algunas fotos del viaje…

la pase burda de bien.. con mi familia y mis verdaderos amigos! :)… espero volver pronto..

Bueno… subi algunas fotos del trabajo…
esta es una donde estamos todos comiendo comida rapida … aproximadamente a las 11:00pm… lo peor es q ese dia nos quedamos como hasta las 2:00am :S

bueno seguranmente se dieron cuenta del la locura q cometí durante las navidades….

y el resultado fue:

Este video fue cuando estaba durmiendo afuera de la tienda BestBuy por varios dias para compar el ps3… ..

En el video sale:
Dorothy (la muchacha con la laptop), Danielita (con su sobrinito en la mano), yo! etc…

el dervin se lanzo unas de tostao y hizo una pizza a la parrilla el ano pasado … aqui hay unas pics

When I got my ps3 I had 2 ways to connect my ps3 to the dell 2407 WFP ….

Solution #1
With only one cable with one end with HDMI connector and on the other end with DVI…..
the problem with this solution is that when ever I get a HD TV I won’t be able to reuse the cable…

Solution #2 (the one I used)
Get a normal HDMI cable with both ends HDMI and use a converter…..

So as soon as I got my playstation 3 I went to RadioShack and got my self 2 things…

So for less than $100 including tax… you can connect your PS3 with your Dell 2407WFP and reuse the cable with another HDTV….

After making the Connection use a normal TV with the cables that came with the System and also connect the HDMI to your dell (connect both at the same time)
then go:
Settings –> Display Settings –> Video Output Settings

then select HDMI at 1080p and then your TV will go black and it will show up on the DELL then press X…..

then go disconnect the normal cable and you are done!

I keep getting emails on where to get the cables & adapters mention in this article to here you go:
