You can get Griffth easily from here. Have not tried this on Windows. But i believe it cant beat Movie Collector on windows with search and indexing, Way of HTML Export, and many many features.

The biggest drawback is this dont have automatic search, index and updating feature as in Collectorz.

Some screens for you.

Second – Started doing what i love the most.

Third     – Getting back to wat I love in me some 2-3 years ago.

Thanks a lot for my very few, but my VERY GOOD BEST FRIENDS who can understand me and who always wishes good for me.

Here it is.

Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta is a really lovely, lonely place in kanakapura district, Karnataka. When i was searching for some good places around bangalore within some one or two hour journey, this place impressed me a lot because its very near and seems lovely to me when i read the reviews. I just went off the lab friday night earlier and slept well. In morning got up by 6.00Am and went to K.R Market. From there got a bus to Harohalli, which is on the way to kanakapura, Its some 2 hour journey because of traffic and because of the BUS. [Its good to go by own vehicle] I reached Harohali around 9.00Am. 

Bought some food there. I have to head to Maralawadi which is some 10 Km from Harohali. There were not many bus services from harohalli to Maralawadi. But i got a local van. Its some 20 minutes journey. Then from maralawadi, we have to head to konnala doddi. Its a 7 Km distance and there is no bus or vehicle except auto. I decided to walk or hitch hike on the way. Latter i changed my mind to WALK, trashing the idea of hitch hiking. Spent from two hour towards konnala doddi walking. On the way you can see few villages. They were engaged in farming and many in sericulture [Silk worm Growing] they call the cocoon as reshmi. Shot some pictures in the poor camera of mobile i carried. It was around 11.00Am when i reached konnala doddi.

Uphill is not so tough. We have a very good path. Its really easy to climb. Just took some 1 hour 15 minuites to climb up without stoping. But there are many places to stop for a while and enjoy the nature along with rest for your body. At the top there is Rangaswamy temple. Im not intrested in the temple. So i just roamed around the places at the top. Really its windy. There are some good places at the backside of the temple. You can surely spend some hours laying down there in the cool breeze.

One more thing is there are some people living at the top. They say that they are engaged in agriculture for the October – March. It seems there is also one festivel held in this temple in the full moon day of January. Everyone had said that it will be a grand one.

Downhill trek is much more easier, but be careful about your steps. You may twist your ankle if you are new to hill climbing. Downhill is only 30 minutes long and  that too because i halted in the middle to take some snaps.Its worth climbing if you have the passion for deserted trek. Can climb for the breeze at the top. I enjoyed the trek. But not as much as previous places i have visited.

We are listening to some music every day. We can notice that always the professional audio recordings comes with a small data on it, figuring to be 44.1Khz. Many of us wonder what this is, and if some of us know that, it is sampling rate of music, some among us don’t know why it is exactly 44.1Khz and not some good round value. This post points to the reason for that.

Before going to the core reason, we need to know about two things. they are

1. Nyquist Rate
2. Audible range of human ear
3. And Audio video interpretation in TV.

Nyquist Rate:

Every signal in nature is continuous signal . But we are in a digital Era. So we use to convert the continues signals into discrete and then to digital signal. Generally discretising the signal  means, obviously sampling, that is collecting amplitude of the signal at some interval. This gives us the fact that here we lose some data of the signal. If we loose more data, our signal will become something different than original, and if we have more data, our signal memory, i mean the size will be increased a lot. So, we have to optimize the number of samples needed. We have a condition in this process called as Nyquist criteria, which states that

“if we sample the signal at twice the rate of maximum frequency in signal  the signal, then the signal can be reproduced with quality near to the original signal.”

This can be practically understood as following. If we have a signal which has a maximum signal frequency as some 20Khz, we can reproduce the signal with at-most similarity by sampling the signal at 40Khz. I mean 40,000 samples per second.

Audible range of human ear: 20Hz – 20Khz

So, now , we can consider the audible frequency range of human ear. It is between 20 Hz to 20,000Hz. So as per our need, we need better quality with minimum size. As nyquist criteria, we need twice the maximum signal frequency.  so we need minimum of 40Khz [ = 2 x 20Khz] sampling.

So here is the question. Then why we have most of the professional audio contents exactly at 44.1Khz and not 40 or 50Khz? I had this question for many days and got the answer recently in this site. It states its with concern to number of  scanning lines and number of lines per field in Television. I have just quoted the exact content given in the site for better understanding.

In the early days of digital audio research, the necessary bandwidth of about 1 Mbps per audio channel was difficult to store. Disk drives had the bandwidth but not the capacity for long recording time, so attention turned to video recorders. These were adapted to store audio samples by creating a pseudo-video waveform which would convey binary as black and white levels. The sampling rate of such a system is constrained to relate simply to the field rate and field structure of the television standard used, so that an integer number of samples can be stored on each usable TV line in the field. Such a recording can be made on a monochrome recorder, and these recording are made in two standards, 525 lines at 60 Hz and 625 lines at 50 Hz. Thus it is possible to find a frequency which is a common multiple of the two and is also suitable for use as a sampling rate.

The allowable sampling rates in a pseudo-video system can be deduced by multiplying the field rate by the number of active lines in a field (blanking lines cannot be used) and again by the number of samples in a line. By careful choice of parameters it is possible to use either 525/60 or 625/50 video with a sampling rate of 44.1KHz.

In 60 Hz video, there are 35 blanked lines, leaving 490 lines per frame or 245 lines per field, so the sampling rate is given by :

60 X 245 X 3 = 44.1 KHz

In 50 Hz video, there are 37 lines of blanking, leaving 588 active lines per frame, or 294 per field, so the same sampling rate is given by

50 X 294 X3 = 44.1 Khz.

The sampling rate of 44.1 KHz came to be that of the Compact Disc. Even though CD has no video circuitry, the equipment used to make CD masters is video based and determines the sampling rate.

So we can get to the fact why we are going for exactly 44.1Khz.

“Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.”

The song Its gona be love is also awesome.
