the kit is selling in australia for AUD39/piece. current prevailing exchange rate is approximately 2.85

and as usual, i'm alright if anyone is requesting for it, and i'll post it over to malaysia.

however i cannot be held liable if the items get lost in transit et cetera, as the way i see this, is a community service afterall.

perhaps you guys wanna bulk it up to save on postage costs?

hello wabbit
thanks for the service, im interested, but problem is, im from jaybee as u know it
if bulk, most buyers sure in kl, will it be troublesome?

thanks tnsai, does the encoding take ages? dem kaw slow...

oh yeah. in your case, i would prefer to mail it to singapore (safer and less dodgy!)

suits yourself

spore i got address also, not an issue

hahaah, just notice ur signature... jump ship to ipad forum, kakakakka

Hmm It depends.. took 4hrs to re-encode a 720p vid to iPad resolutions(to save space).. took bout 4hrs for that 2hr 40 mins video. Where as it took me about 9mins or so to do a 22 min video where the res size was closer to my chosen output (iPad 16x9)

hmm, space not an issue, so wat was the chose output ipad 16X9 presets? any idea?
btw, does processor plays a part ? im trying this on my mbp, 2.4, would it be much more faster one my i7 imac?

If got bulk for this count me in. Thanks

When I converted 720p vids to play it is allright, when I tried with 1080p, the video was stuttering on the iPad, must have messed up a setting or two somewhere.

not sure what you mean by the first part, but yes if you have a better cpu, the encoding will happen much faster.

sorry for my bad england
it seems that in order to save space, encoding is much more slower
so what presets shud i set in order to speed up the process

Rule of encoding usually means that if you want to save space, your video bitrate suffers, therefore taking up less space. If you want the best quality at the best possible bitrate, doing double pass will take more time, and slows down the encoding workflow.

There are no shortcuts I'm afraid. I've encoded an HD version of Monsters VS Aliens for the iPad at 720p for the Apple TV which is usable for the iPad, and that takes nearly a day.

FYI, I'm using Quicktime Pro. Custom Preset. The problem with using Handbrake or other 3rd party application is you're doing guesswork on what bitrates you wanna use for the movies. With QTP, you can use the "Export for AppleTV" and it handles it beautifully. Otherwise, I encode it into Quicktime HD, I don't like encoding to MP4 as the codec/encoder combo will determine the quality of the results, as well as the movie format you're encoding from. By using Quicktime HD, you're restricted to using Apple's own coder/encoder parameters, and that preserves the quality of the encoding. Only if you want the best. If you're okay with anything, then the "whatever format ==> MP4" workflow should be fine.

I found that the iPad is a perfectly good laptop/netbook replacement, seeing as how I'm using it for typing documents, sketching and surfing.

Of course, i do miss multitasking terribly, but the ease of use and the light weight beats all the cons.

noted on the encoding part

btw, was doing a read on playing the ABC player outside of US, string did u do that?
wonder is there any cheaper source of VPN, and whether our internet line is good enough to stream

I still find that at the moment I still need to lug my notebook around, if only because I am still awaiting a competent productivity suite for the iPad. When I did a presentation on the iPad, whatever changes I made cannot export back to PPT lol so still have to make those changes in MS PPT. Unless the other party uses a Mac and then I export it out to Keynote format.

Whe docs to go out iPad edisi is out, I hope my notebook sits in my office most of the time

Still thinking on that VPN part. I've been introduced to StrongVPN, but I'm not sure I want one now, since the only reason I'd be interested to stream shows on the ABC player is Lost, and Lost have just concluded. Now put on hold.

A colleague of mine (the original poisoner who poisoned me with his iPad ) have subscribed to StrongVPN and he did comment that it is worthwhile for him, and he had been streaming from Tokyo and Adelaide during his nightstops.

Itching to get the cable extenders from here http://www.cablejive.com/

I finally tested a real iPad over at Sg Wang last weekend. It feels fast and am really tempted to get it. But the head says wait for the official launch in Malaysia - which apple store was not able to confirm when! Sigh...

I've been using VyprVPN for a few months and have been using lots of streaming stuff (ABC, Netflix, Hulu) on both my Mac and iPad. It works great during the evening hours, I get maybe 1-2 pauses of less than 10 seconds each on a 43 minute show.

I tried BolehVPN before and that worked pretty well too but that was pre-iPad days so I haven't tried it on the iPad.

None of them are cheap however.
