| 04:13.57 | bigdog_ut | converting from jpeg to svg is a pain in the butt |
| 04:43.36 | jsmith | Of course it is -- one is bitmap, the other vector :-) |
| 04:44.21 | bigdog_ut | yeah a true pain |
| 04:45.52 | bigdog_ut | finally got my mp3s to ogg format |
| 04:45.56 | bigdog_ut | took all day long |
| 04:47.58 | wps | how are you converting? |
| 04:48.20 | bigdog_ut | using a tool that converts by tracing the image |
| 04:48.30 | wps | all automatic? |
| 04:48.30 | wps | jsmith: I was in your lobby Thursday evening |
| 04:48.35 | bigdog_ut | its called autotrace |
| 04:50.56 | bigdog_ut | linux has some cool tools for working with svg images |
| 04:52.06 | wps | does a good job? |
| 04:52.16 | bigdog_ut | decent |
| 04:52.20 | wps | why do you want them as vector? what's your project? |
| 04:52.27 | bigdog_ut | its not an adobe product |
| 04:52.42 | bigdog_ut | no project...i convert them for storage and compress them |
| 04:52.44 | wps | illustrator 12's new trace is awesome |
| 04:52.52 | wps | ah |
| 04:52.57 | wps | much space you saving? |
| 04:53.04 | bigdog_ut | tons |
| 04:53.05 | wps | ie: how much smaller are they? |
| 04:53.14 | wps | 75%? |
| 04:53.24 | bigdog_ut | like a 50k file will be 14k |
| 04:53.32 | wps | that's cool |
| 04:54.33 | bigdog_ut | and got my ogg files now |
| 04:54.38 | bigdog_ut | so saving some space |
| 04:55.03 | wps | I didn't know OGGs were smaller? |
| 04:55.15 | wps | (ignore question mark… trigger happy I am) |
| 04:55.16 | bigdog_ut | yeah...not too much |
| 04:55.52 | wps | does OOG do bookmarking? |
| 04:56.02 | wps | s/OOG/OGG |
| 04:56.06 | bigdog_ut | like what do you mean? |
| 04:56.27 | wps | that's one thing that I have been enjoying lately, as I have been listening to a lot of audiobooks |
| 04:56.52 | wps | bookmarking = being able for a file to remember where you last stopped listening to it |
| 04:57.23 | bigdog_ut | the file should not do that...but the app should |
| 04:58.27 | wps | that's true |
| 04:58.41 | wps | hmm… I wonder what the difference between a normall AAC file and a bookmarkable AAC file is |
| 04:58.51 | bigdog_ut | so yeah if you have the right app |
| 04:59.12 | wps | as you have implied, I would hope that the data is stored in the app instead of the file being altered in some way |
| 05:02.00 | wps | on a different subject… I have to give a big should out to DansGuardian and Squid |
| 05:02.08 | wps | excellent apps |
| 05:02.15 | bigdog_ut | lol |
| 05:02.21 | wps | do an amazing job at letting the good through and keeping the crap out |
| 05:02.21 | bigdog_ut | squid is nice |
| 05:02.53 | wps | I have had them on both my home box and work box for a few months now |
| 05:02.59 | wps | I wish that I had had this ten years ago |
| 05:05.16 | bigdog_ut | aac sucks...the licensing is death |
| 05:05.57 | wps | if you save your own file into that format then there isn't any licensing |
| 05:06.35 | bigdog_ut | it is only for the encoder and decoder |
| 05:07.21 | bigdog_ut | format sounds similar to ogg |
| 05:08.22 | wps | now I am really curious |
| 05:08.35 | wps | I have a script that I run on AAC files that makes them "bookmarkable" |
| 05:08.44 | wps | it changes their extension to .m4a |
| 05:08.47 | bigdog_ut | http://www.vialicensing.com/products/mpeg4audio/MPEG-4_Audio_FAQ.html |
| 05:08.54 | wps | I wouldn't what else it is doing to them |
| 05:09.22 | bigdog_ut | well just the encoder/decoder need the license |
| 05:09.27 | bigdog_ut | the files are okay |
