tablet pc

zig — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:39:37 +0000

I recently bought an ex-display tablet ,hp-tX2530ea, extremely cheap. The battery is a bit dead but it does the job nicely with a proper Wacom pen! I haven’t had the chance to use due to work but now that I’m freelance again, I got all the time in the world:

Of course it’s not as good as the high end tablet pc’s, but I really enjoy sketching on it. Pressure sensitivity is great despite having much less pressure points than a cintiq. and Intuos 4 There’s a yutube example here:

And a last but not least note Autodesk sketchbook PRO is simply made for tablet pcs, much better than anything else out there?

I ‘ave decided to use .flv videos on my site that are smaller and the preferred format these days.

When I was converting into flash my quicktime it got stuck half way. I tried all the video compressors with no luck ended up being a bug:

We’ve confirmed that encoding video files with 22kHz video results in truncated audio. We’ve isolated this behavior as tied to the recent QuickTime 7.2 update; under 7.1.5, the audio is not truncated. We’re looking further into how this issue can be best addressed.

For the time being, the recommended workarounds are:
- Downgrade to QuickTime 7.1.x, or
- Convert audio to 44.1Khz before encoding as you noted.

who would have thought it a good waist of a day!!

Reel page is finally online yay.

kudos to this user from the flash forum named chiplay who solved it all.
