Release Update: Miranda IM 0.8.0 Test Build 12

Build 12 offers one main new feature: multiaccount ICQ protocol. As usual, it may be a bit unstable because of the enormous amount of changes made in it, but it works more or less ok on my machine.

Also, clist_modern contains a large portion of new & redesigned code.

Nothing else was added, just some bugfixes to MSN & Jabber.

Jabber Client Psi 0.12-RC1 released...

After only a little over four months since 0.11's release, the Psi team are delighted to announce that the first release candidate prepared for the 0.12 release. This is a great step towards a more regular release cycle, which we're sure everyone will appreciate, but this does not mean that 0.12 will be lacking in the new and cool. Recognising that Psi's user interface could be more usable at times, the majority of our changes for 0.12 revolve around usability.

The most important are:

Tabbed MUCs.

Tabbed chat has been very well received in previous releases, but has only gone to highlight just how badly tabbed groupchat/muc was needed, so we've gone ahead and implemented this. Those of us who've been using this new feature for a while can't understand quite how we did without it, and various options are available for you to tweak exactly whether mucs and chats are tabbed together, or seperately, or not at all.

Improved roster search.

The roster search function has been improved, and will now filter the roster down to only matching contacts, making it much easier to find your contacts in the list.

Gajim : Jabber client can use multiple protocols!

Yes this is truth.
Gajim is the best jabber client i have seen. Ihave written many article on IM clients, because i have used all of them.

Miranda is good but UI is not good and too much configuration.

Pidgin is the best if they can provide single file (even per day is better) history log for chats and broadcasting message to multiple contacts.

Spark is good but eats all my memory.

Many others are there which lacks some things, so not mentioning all of them here.

Now i will talk regarding Gajim only. Basically it supports multiple jabber accounts. Yes,
you can use your local lan jabber, Google talk and any other account using jaber protocol.

I am using it for local lan and gtalk jabber. So i am running 3 accounts (2 are for gmail :) ).

Now the turn for steps of yahoo and msn support on gajim.

1. Make any of your jabber account working. Any one, your local or google talk.

2. Then discover services for other transports with your jabber server. If your local jabber server supports transports, its best.

3. gmail.com (for google talk) is not supporting any transports. so change server name in service discovery window to
'jabber.no' (for yahoo) and 'gajim.org' (for msn). I have used this way because jabber.no has some problem with msn transport.

4. Register with that transport with your specific account and all your contacts will be added in your account through which you have discovered the transport
(i.e if you used gmail.com account for discover then all contacts will be added in that account).

Done! Enjoy your chatting.

Some shortcuts to use with gajim

- Type name of contact for search in group.
- In chat window, clik Ctrl + H for history window, Ctrl +I for information of contact and in that info window click Alt +L to disable/enable logging for that contact.

Enjoy using it with most protocols with transports.
And if you want even more then you have to find other transport servers. or you have to use pidgin.
Keep in your mind that Transports still works even your port for specific protocol is banned because it connects through jabber port :)

DivX Announces to Shut Down Stage6.com

DivX, Inc., a digital media company, today announced that the Company will cease operation of its Stage6.com video service on February 28, 2008.

Following an exploration of strategic options that began in July 2007, the Company has decided to cease operation of the site and focus its resources on the Company’s core DivX technology licensing business while also continuing to power the distribution of DivX video content on third-party sites.

“Our core business is to work with a wide variety of partners to give consumers a high-quality digital video experience on any device or platform,” said Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX, Inc. “By no longer expending resources on Stage6, we sharpen our focus on creating a global standard for digital video while building a business that maximizes shareholder value. We will provide more information related the Stage6.com shutdown on our fourth quarter earnings call, scheduled for March 11, 2008.”

Videos on Stage6.com will be available for viewing and download through February 28, 2008. The Company will work with certain content publishers to migrate content to alternative web distribution platforms.

How to install RipIt4Me, DVDShrink and DVDDecrypter in Linux

Although there are some very good programs for dvd ripping and dvd backup under Linux such as devede and k9copy many window users that have moved to Linux still prefer using dvddecrypter and dvdshrink. Therefore they have a dual boot system just to use those programs! In this guide I will explain how it is possible to install dvdshrink and dvddecrypter under Linux using wine. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. In other words think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs as it is described in its official home page.

For the following tutorial I will be using wine 0.9.45, dvd shrink 3.2.0.15, DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0 and RipIt4Me 1.7.1.0. You must also find and download those 2 dlls, mfc42.dll and msvcp60.dll. They can also be found in a windows installation in C:\Windows\System32 folder. For the rest of the guide I suppose that you have all of these files under ~/downloads folder.

I have completed the installation and rip process in a Fedora 7 32bit system. Therefore I don't know if it works in other distributions. I believe it should. Please report if you achieve it under another Linux distribution.

Decrypting and re-encoding DVD-Audio

DVD-Audio is a standard for storing high quality stereo or multi-channel audio content on a standard DVD disk. Supported sample rates range from 44.1KHz up to 192KHz, with bit depths of 16, 20 or 24 bits. A DVD-Audio contains both DVD-Audio content (in the AUDIO_TS folder) and DVD-Video content (in the VIDEO_TS folder) and has the DVD-Audio logo. The audio in the AUDIO_TS folder can be either Linear Pulse Compression Modification (abbreviated LPCM, which is uncompressed) or Meridian Lossless Packing (abbreviated MLP, which is losslessly compressed). Usually, a DVD-Audio contains 5.1ch MLP / 2.0ch MLP or 5.1ch MLP / 2.0ch LPCM. There is also audio present in the VIDEO_TS folder, but of lower quality (that is with a lower sample rate and a lower bit depth). More information can be found here.

A DVD-Audio can be encrypted. The encryption is called Content Protection for Prerecorded Media (CPPM), which uses a media key block (MKB) to authenticate DVD-Audio players. In order to decrypt the audio, players must obtain a media key from the MKB, which also is encrypted. The player must use its own unique key to decrypt the MKB. If a DVD-Audio player's decryption key is compromised, that key can be rendered useless for decrypting future DVD-Audio discs. DVD-Audio discs can also contain digital watermarking technology, typically embedded into the audio once every thirty seconds. If a DVD-Audio player encounters a watermark on a disc without a valid MKB, it will halt playback. quoted from wikipedia As of today, the encryption is broken, but it is not possible to remove the watermarks yet.

The purpose of this guide is the following:

• It explains how to decrypt and re-encode the audio of your DVD-Audio to FLAC (which is an open source lossless audio codec). This enables you to play your re-encondings on your PC without any hassle (using open source tools).
• The above will be done retaining higher quality than the audio counterpart that is located on the video section of the disc.

As of today, it is not possible to decode the MLP tracks of your DVD-Audio using open source (or even free) tools. So you need to get one of the following two tools:

• The Sonic filters "Sonic HD Demuxer" and "Sonic Cinemaster@Audio Decoder 4.3.0". They are directshow filters contained in the package "Sonic.CinePlayer.HD.DVD.Decoder.v4.3.rar".
• Surcode MLP.

If you want to use AviSynth (without creating intermediate WAV files) then you need to get the Sonic filters somewhere. As of today, 192kHz 24bit MLP tracks are not supported by the Sonic filters, so you are forced to use Surcode MLP in that case. The Sonic filters which support MLP decoding are the following:

1. CinemasterAudio.dll v4.2.0.840, SonicHDDemuxer.dll v4.2.0.59
2. CinemasterAudio.dll v4.3.0.151, SonicHDDemuxer.dll v4.3.0.73
3. CinemasterAudio.dll v4.3.0.169, SonicHDDemuxer.dll v4.3.0.89
