Long time, no updates. Well, upon hearing about the N800, I thought to add support for resolution text file. You can now specify your resolutions and frame speeds that are to appear in the resolution drop down. This is mainly for just tuning the resolutions for 770 and N800 more easily.
Download
Anything else? Indeed! A new icon by Benoit Ricaud. It looks terrific! Icon is used in windows and OSX versions.
Resolutions file looks like this:
Low Quality (240x144)
Action Movie (288x208)
High Quality (352x208) 3/4 fps
Very High Quality (352x288) 1/2 fps
MPlayer Optimal (400x240)
MPlayer HD Video (400x480) 1/4 fps
It is located in installation folder in windows and inside the app in OSX.
So, first you define the name, followed by resolution in Brackets () and then if you need to lower the fps, the division of 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4. No other fps choices are available.
If you wonder why there is the HD video option, even though it has lousy FPS, it is brilliantly suitable for slideshow like videos. For example if you make a iPhoto slideshow and save it as video, that will look stunning on the 400x480 resolution.
So, if anyone of you has the new N800, please tell me what resolutions it supports. Especially I'm interested in knowing whether the 400x240 resolution works in full fps.

Theme Maker Home Pages Released
Theme Maker has finally proper home page. It's a bit small for the time being, I'll try to add some downloadable themes there tomorrow. For now, it's just to have a tutorial on theme creation and download links.
http://thememaker.garage.maemo.org
If you have created themes with theme maker and would like me to link to them, please mail me at urho.konttori@gmail.com. I can also host the .deb files if needed.
Also, please take a screenshot of your theme so that the download page would look better.

Media Converter 1.2 final
Just released 1.2 final. Fixes stability issues from 1.2 beta. Now a recommended download. Download link below.
http://mediaconverter.garage.maemo.org/Media%20Converter/Downloads.html
On other issues, I have updated the home pages a bit and added instructions on how to use subtitles for the movies. It's a bt tricky, as MC is a batch converter, so that's why I went for the 'use same name as video filename, but with .srt extension' -approach. If you have better suggestions, please let me know.
Also, I released 1.2 as a proper app for intel OSX. PPC version will have to wait just a little longer, but hopefully I'll have one ready tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I know, the icon could be cooler. Any ideas on how to symbolize video conversion to 770?
Oh, here's the icon. Suggestions and replacement icon images (128x128) are very welcome!

Home pages for Media Converter
I just created home pages for media converter.
As media converter is such a simple app, it only needs simple home page. So, a small description and download pages should do it nicely for now. Let me know if you think it would need more!
Here is the page: http://mediaconverter.garage.maemo.org/

Media Converter 1.2 Beta released
1.2 beta 25.10.2006
1.2 beta released finally. Too long since the last major update. This one does rock though, so digg in:
(Linux, Windows, OSX powerPC versions)
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=26&release_id=202
Intel OSX version does not fit into garage limits,
so download that from here:
http://www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/MediaConverter/MediaConverterINTELOSX.zip
Here's the changelog:
Added support for user to able to define destination directory. Quite many people have been asking for this feature. I made it quickly now so that it won't save the users settings, but future versions will save users directory settings.
Minor tweaks to UI.
Tested on OSX Intel.
Much improved video quality. At some point the second pass of the HQ mode was dropped (and instead it just repeated phase 1). Second pass has now been added. Big thanks and tons of kudos go to Andrea Gronchi for noticing the problem and suggesting a fix!
Why is that beta then?
Well, new features mean probable small bugs, so let me know asap you hit them.
A little bit about my life. We successfully moved with my wife to a new flat. I also switched to mac mini and been spending my time getting home fixed and my work place (mac mini) in working order. Expect a proper mac installer in the near future!
Moving stopped development of another hobby project for the 770: Media Center. I can tell you that it will most positively rock. However, with not enough time for 770 development, it's coming together slowly. I will next focus a bit on theme maker so that it will support Nokias own template. If I'm lucky that will be done tomorrow, if not, well, then it won't be done. I acquired a potential new contract that is apparently on a bit tight schedule, so if that begins tomorrow, I'll be doing that for a week or so with probably not much spare time left. Mans gotta get paid once in a while as well.
