You recognize this situation? Shooting a vid with your point an shoot or iPhone, and instead of holding it in landscape you capture the vid in portrait. No worries!!, here is how to simply correct this.
First of all, open Quicktime 7 on your Mac, then:
- open your movie
- goto the ‘movie’ menu and down to ‘get movie properties’
- select ‘video track’ on the left side of the pop up menu that appears
- then on select ’size’ on the right hand side of that menu
- you can then rotate, adjust size etc. with the buttons on the bottom of that menu and preview in the main window
- in the ‘file’ menu select ‘export’ and choose the file format, codec etc that you want.
- or just save!
Simple enough for you?

Engadget, Arstechnica, and others are reporting that Apple has issued invitations for a media event scheduled for 10:00 AM Pacific Time on January 27th. The event will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and the invitation’s tag line reads “Come see our latest creation.”
Apple had been rumored earlier this month to have scheduled a media event for that date and location, and the company is widely expected to introduce its highly-anticipated tablet device at the event.

Bas is remembering the year 1999. 10 years back I was working at a Judiciary Court preparing for the feared year 2000 bug. Specializing in Windows NT 4 Server, it was the age of Windows 95, the Nokia 5110 (also used by Agent Dana Scully in the X-Files). Internet was all about Napster and Altavista.com for searching news and mayby a mp3 or so. For social networking I was using ICQ, remember that one?
In June of 1999, Apple introduced their first iBook G3.
And now back to today, wishing you a awesome 2010

Today I needed to dump my Macintosh HD to an external HD using Carbon Copy Cloner. For backup issues I needed to boot from the external HD afterwards. These handy boot options helped me pick the right one. Note these options are for Intel Macs only!

If you are using Lightroom on a 64 bit capable Mac you will be glad to know the latest update to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) fixes the bug that crippled the sending of multiple photos from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing. Previously, if you selected 3 or more photos in Lightroom and tried to send them to Photoshop for panorama stitching, HDR merging or opening as layers Photoshop would open but no photos would appear. The short term fix for this was to run Lightroom in 32 bit mode and all functionality for sending to Photoshop was restored. The downside being that you couldn’t run Lightroom in 64 bit mode.
So, install the 10.6.2 update from Apple, then right-click on the Lightroom icon in your Applications folder and uncheck the Open in 32 bit mode box, then launch Lightroom and give it a test drive. You should be back in business!
