I was having some problems with this PSP video conversion software. I posted my issue in the authors forum and he asked me to post a log file. Prior to getting him the log file he released a new version and my issues were resolved.

This is just another example of a talented programmer creating something that can be enjoyed by the masses.

Upon removing both the hard drives from the NAS unit I came to realize that now I needed to get the data from it. After using a couple of different programs, I was told about this software. It took almost 12 hours to run per 1 Tb drive but it recovered almost 95% of the data. So, I am pretty happy about that.

My HP WorldBook is gone. The hard drives are still alive but the enclosure and board inside are dead. My thoughts are that this unit is was a dud. But then again, I have never been a big fan of HP. So, I move each 1 TB drive into one of my desktop boxes.

Just a quick follow-up about PSP video conversion. The latest release of PSPVC is 3.70. I am having a couple of issues with it and I am not really sure it is the fault of the software. In fact, I am pretty sure that it is user error.

Here are my issues. First, in order to convert 100% of any input file I have to use the force conversion profile. Second, batch file conversions from a folder never work. Two input files and I only get two output files that play five minutes into the file.

I will post again when I have more details.

I have always enjoyed the old coin-op games from the early 80’s. Now with the sheer amount of coders out there in the world they have put together a great collection of apps to emulate some of the best coin-op games in the world.

Even better are the emulators for the old consoles. It is great to be able to play a little Neo-Geo, PC-Engine, Sega, and other wonderful systems.

For a while now I have been trying to find a video conversion program for the PSP that is reliable and output a nice clean file. For the sometime I was using both PSP Video 9 and 3G converter. After searching for what seems like a year in the forums I was lucky and came across a program called PSPVC. It is a great program and very powerful as well. It has this wonderful little option to force convert. Where others programs throws up failures and stops, PSPVC pushes right through it.

I recently downloaded PSP Radio. It is a nice little app that uses the Wi-Fi connection on the PSP to log into the Shoutcast server.

For the little that I have used it to date, I give it a thumbs up.

I think that I may have made some progress on the blog. CSS is still a little fuzzy for my and I am not really sure if I like the new color scheme yet.

Well, I have had to start working on learning CSS. It appears to be the only way that I will be able to get my blog to look the way I want. The journey continues.

I am still tweaking my theme. Someday I will have it just the way I want it. Until then, I will just look at the wife’s blog and be jealous.
