Changing Dimensions For Video Links

hirtme — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 04:57:48 +0000

So now that I have an iPad 2 I’ve been looking at the different ways to convert files to mp4. The main issue being what size looks best on iPhone doesn’t look best on iPad or television. Most the links on this site have been converted at a size of 320 x 240 pixels. This looks fine on an iPod or iPhone, but gets blury on an iPad or television. The only advantage to this is a smaller file size (less time to download). For a typical one hour TV show (actually they are about 42 minutes less commercials) the size is 125 MB. This compares to 250MB for a show converted at an iPad/TV optimized size of 640 x 480. Makes sense – double the dimensions and you double the file size. Having an iPad now and seeing the difference in quality I’ve decided to start posting the bigger (higher quality) dimension links. If you watch on an iPod or iPhone you won’t notice any difference other than the file will take twice as long to download. However, if you watch on TV or an iPad, the difference in quality is noticeable. To see comparison screen shots look below. Can you see a difference? If not look at the white TV PG letters. To me the difference in quality is worth the extra download time. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments. This won’t be possible for some movies though as files need to be under 1GB or you can’t download them unless you are a premium (paid) member of the site (MegaUpload or FileServe). Thus, some movies will still be at the smaller dimensions.

Latest mp4 Movies & TV shows

hirtme — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:02:36 +0000

Hope everyone is well. Added Face Off for calebcj85, Fast Times at Ridgemont High for 115sm2330, The Boondock Saints, The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard and ET. On TV shows we started adding Reaper and Mad Men. Finales of True Blood and Hung should be up very soon along with Entourage. I also posted a number of links in the Forum so check there to see if your request has been met. Also, consider adding to your profile please. Most of the Forum links are through linkbucks which is slightly annoying but many uploaders use it to make a little extra cash. Hope you all appreciate that we only link directly to megaupload (no spam) and only to mp4 files.

mp4 Requests – Labor Day Edition

hirtme — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:17:52 +0000

Hey, I just got back from three days at Lake Lanier so haven’t gotten as many requests as would have liked. Kids had a blast so it was well worth it. Anyway, for movies added Spirited Away for Chris and Fair Game for vterra09. I also added better quality mp4 files for Halloween 2 and Ice Age 3. As far as TV shows, I’ve been adding Chuck for Nori and Flipping Out for capricious86 (hope you burn a few extra calories). I also got Sons of Anarchy up to date for Kodi. There was no new HBO last night and most the season finales are this week (anyone looking forward to True Blood?).

Keep posting in Forum and buildout your profiles please. How bout some suggestions for a new poll??? Happy Labor Day!

There are some very helpful people that will answer. New Movie Monday includes Easy Money for bxshade, GI Joe for scott.tooz, Star Wars, Happy Feet (for the kids) and for my man st0ney I got Cheech & Chong’s classic Up In Smoke. Went ahead with TV show Tuesday as well – HawthoRNe for bettyboop and starting Grey’s Anatomy and The Secret Life of an American Teenager. Last Night’s Entourage and Hung are up and True Blood will be in the morning. Always mp4 for your convenience.

New Movies & TV Shows

admin — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:45:12 +0000

So, I added a few new movies – Air Force One for dhalla, Fan Boys for kodi-phipps, Vegas Vacation for hbronco960925 and a few very recent cam quality movies. On TV shows I’ve almost finished every episode of Weeds! I love this show. Check it out if you haven’t ever watched it. I put in Backyardigans so you’d have a second cartoon choice for kids other than Scooby Doo. As always, files are mp4 for your convenience. Contest should be up on Friday

New TV shows & Movies – all mp4

admin — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:10:09 +0000

New mp4 movies for your iPod, iPhone or iTouch were only 4 this week as a lot was added to TV Section and we did some jailbreakin videos too. I will categorize the TV show section soon – I promise. Just My Luck for queen101, Medea Goes to Jail (Tyler Perry) for metalgearx (Thelma you like this one?), Next Day Air for 62GAY3BK (what kind of a username is that?) and White Chicks for tt1903. Let me know if you like them. New TV Shows were Deadliest Warrior for owenbas (like the show names on this one), 10 Things I Hate About You for queen101 (give Dexter or Weeds a try?), Warehouse 13 for AbhiSingh and lots of Scooby Doo Where Are You for cw75158. Thanks for making the point about lack of kid friendly TV. I swear I’ve seen all 25 episodes and most many, many times. A Tiki Scare is No Fair is classic! I will get to building out the Kids section more at some point. Please comment on any of our videos from the previous week. Contest coming within a week

Don’t forget we also have all the good HBO and Showtime up in good quality for those wanting to see keep up with True Blood, Weeds, Entourage and Hung (final episode is this Sunday I believe). Almost all files are mp4 for your convenience.

All Movies, TV shows, mp4 files require Password!

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:40:09 +0000

Hey idiots! So almost all the links on the Movies and TV shows pages now require a password. Some people have been putting these links up on their sites and not giving us credit. Sorry to have to make you type in one extra word to get your mp4 file, but I’m sure you won’t mind

So the password is iphone4idiots.com – your favorite place. If that doesn’t work, post in forum and you’ll have the correct password/link in 24 hours. Check back tomorrow for the return of app review Thursday! Lastly,
still looking for one idiot to buy me a beer before the weekend. Come on guys

TV show Tuesday – more mp4 for your iPhone!

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:57:50 +0000

Hey guys, so much to do and so little time. I could use some help.
Anyone want to write some articles for the site or become a Forum moderator? Tweet me. I added more Entourage, Family Guy (it’s still leading the poll?) and HBO’s new show called Hung. Also, season 1 of House for asoto and the third (and most popular) series of the BBC’s Torchwood for rally. All are in mp4 format ready to drop into iTunes and sync with your iPhone or iTouch. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten a donation. Somebody make me happy by the weekend please.

New Movie Monday – mp4 for your iPhone!

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:42:21 +0000

I’ve added 27 Dresses for queen101, S Darko for Chris and Public Enemies for casale2a. However, Public Enemies is in .avi format. You will need to convert it to mp4 before you drop it into itunes. Just search google for “Free avi to mp4 converter” and try one depending on if you have Mac or PC. I also added Bruno for MikeCaro94 and Harry Potter & Half Blood Prince for a few of you!! I’ve mentioned before, these are newer movies so the quality isn’t as good. The audio on Bruno seems distant. That coupled with his accent in the movie makes it hard to watch for some I’m sure while others will just turn up the volume and not be bothered at all. This movie is not for the pure of heart. Harry Potter is in better quality but has Dutch (I think) sub titles at the bottom. Again, if you would provide feedback I’ll know if you want more current movies like this or not. App Review Thursday finally returns this week! Will have last nights True Blood and Entourage up for TV show Tuesday as well.

TV show Tuesday – Free mp4 files

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:52:47 +0000

Hey all, I added some episodes of Season 2 Gossip Girl for hanson, the first six episodes of Sons of Anarchy for cody15951, Entourage Seasons 1,5 and both episodes from Season 6 (including Sundays) for casale2a. I also have last Sunday’s episode of Weeds up and True Blood will be up within hours if not already!

About three more weeks before I hopefully add content more often. So making sure the links are idiot proof I only add mp4. No zip, rar, avi etc. that you would have to download and convert to put on your iPhone or iTouch. mp4 you just download, drag and drop, sync and watch!! These links are harder to find so help keep this site running by dropping a little donation. Click on the beer or just paypal to hirtme@comcast.net. If each member would give a dollar I can run a cool contest to give something much better away. One day soon I hope.

If you can’t donate, at least post quality ratings on the mp4 files you get here and comment on this post about our poll results so far. I’m shocked Family Guy is in the lead. I would have voted, Weeds – Dexter – True Blood – South Park – Family Guy. Let me know how you voted and why? Want more Family Guy? Let me know which season.
