The Working of MP4 Players
Author: admin
Portable Media Players or Digital Audio Players, which are mostly produced in China, are known as Chinese MP4/MTV Player or MP4 Players. These players can display images and text files and play videos. These players have nothing to do with MP4 or M4A or M4V audio or video file formats. In fact, the previous players were able to play only limited file formats like MTV, DMV, AMV and MPV. But recent MP4 players can also play video files with MPEG4 format. Most of them are a mixture of S1 MP3 Players.
The first MP4 Players were developed by a French Company Archos in the year 2002. Thus, to gain an upper hand in the market, the Chinese Companies made slight enhancement to their MP3 Players and started to market them as MP4 Players and dubbed them as the `Successor of MP3 Players`.
Most of these players were unable to play MPEG4 format video files and even fewer could have played DivX or Xvid format video files. But when more and more companies promoted their players with enhanced video and audio qualities, Chinese companies started a `True MP4 Players Vs False MP4 Player Campaign` and successfully drove the less advanced MP3 players to the MP3 market and hence stabilized and standardized the Chinese MP4 Market.
Most of these MP4 Players contain an image file viewer and you can see a JPG or BMP file. They can also play MP3 and have other audio format`s codecs. Videos are mostly played in MTV or AMV format. Videos are converted to these formats using conversion software. E-books can be read through an ASCII text viewer. Some also have additional enhancements like phone book, voice recorder, FM or AM radio. Thus you can also record FM broadcasts. Some MP4 Players also have video games in them.
These players are available in many types. Most of them are extremely light weighted and have 1.2 screens, while others can be more forceful with screens of 1.5 to 2 inch and also containing two earphone sockets and built in speakers instead of conventional one earphone socket. Some of them have OLED display which is capable of producing brighter images when compared to normal LCD displays, but the picture quality does suffer. Read the rest of this entry »

There are many methods available for charging our mobile phones – from plug in chargers for our homes, adapters we can plug into the cigarette lighters in our cars, and even small pre-charged devices that give your battery a small burst of temporary power when you need it most.
But now there could be a new method of recharging in the works, one which taps into the most freely available source of energy on the planet, kinetic – or people power.
Already there are variety of devices that are charged using kinetic energy – such as watches and wind-up radios. But charging a mobile phone by simply walking?
It sounds a crazy concept, but it’s a concept that has been the subject of scientific research into generating energy efficient prosthetics for many years.
And now scientists at a university in the United States have developed a brace that could potentially generate the power needed to charge small electronic devices, such as mobile phones.
The design is based around an orthopaedic knee brace, the unit currently weighs around 3.5 pounds, with the generator located by the side of the knee itself.
The generator works by harvesting kinetic energy from the movements of the knee in much the same way as a hybrid electric car, which generates energy from the braking process and transfers it back to the engine, where the energy is converted and stored. Read the rest of this entry »
