Being a musician I’ve spent a lot of time working with programs that convert audio formats and other ones that burn CDs and DVDs and so on, but I’ve never really had a program that could do pretty much everything I wanted to do with digital media in an all in one package.
Well, I’m pleased to say that I’ve finally found a powerful all-in-one multimedia package. It’s called Blaze Media Pro. You can use it as a video converter or as an audio converter – well both really. It just depends on your needs.
Now, some of you only know me from my humor blogs, but I also have two music and guitar related blogs. I’ve been saying for ages that I’ll be posting video guitar lessons and perhaps some audio clips, but I just haven’t gotten around to it because we didn’t have software that did everything we need to do to produce decent video and audio for the blogs, but with Blaze Media Pro I’ve got everything I need!
There are so many features it’s hard to know where to begin! As I said earlier the main features that you might be interested in are video and audio conversion, but you can also use it as a CD or dvd ripper and burner, editing audio and video, recording, playback, video capture, video creation, audio and video merge and much more. You can even burn VCD and SVCD with Blaze Media Pro. Now that’s a cool feature.
When using playback on a music CD you’ll discover that you can perform lyric search, MusicID audio recognition, audio tagging and so much more. This program is going to make it so much easier for me to do video podcasts on my music sites.
You might be wondering what formats this software can convert? Well it’s audio conversions include WAV, WMA, MP3, OGG, AIFF, MPEG-4, ALAC, AAC, M4A, AC3, FLAC plus it can also do two way conversions for AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, WMV, Flash (SWF and FLV), PSP, 3GP, iPod and MOV for video.
The software can be used to edit MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI and ASF formats, plus there are quite a few special effects and color adjustment operations that can be used when editing a video. Not to mention the fact that audio files can easily be insert into or extracted from the video, plus all the major image formats – GIF, JPG, PNG, RAS, TGA, TIF and more can be inserted or extracted when editing or creating a video.
If you’d like to try this great new all in one multimedia program you can buy it directly from the Blaze Media Pro website or you might want to take it for a test drive first and download their free trial version.
If you, like me, have been looking for an all in one package like this I really think you’ll be impressed with this software.
Let me know if you try Blaze Media Pro – I’d love to see what you do with it.

How would you like to have been one of the custom officials opening up a package that had come from Hong Kong that had been marked “personal clothing” only to find about 300 live scorpions and spiders!
The scorpions and spiders had been packed in nets, bottles and transparent plastic boxes and were concealed under clothing and newspapers within the package. Tarantulas were also included in the spider tally.
“The scorpions almost bit the examiner,” Nelson Ebio, a port collector at the Central Mail Exchange Center, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It was the first time the post office had encountered such poisonous mail, he said.
The package had arrived from Hong Kong on a Monday, but it wasn’t clear who had sent the package or why although it’s been speculated that the package was intended for someone who collects these types of invertebrates and insects. My guess, having been involved in reptile keeping, is more along the lines that these creatures were being smuggled into the country illegally for the pet trade.
The spiders and scorpions have been handed over to Manila parks and wildlife officials.
The spiders and scorpions were later handed over to the parks and wildlife office.

If you’ve been thinking of switching your landline telephone service over to Broadband Phone Service you might be very interested in taking a look at what ViaTalkhas to offer. ViaTalk offers VoIP telephone services in over 2,200 metro markets spanning all 50 states.
ViaTalk offers many of the services that you are used to receiving with your landline service and more. Features include enhanced voicemail, call hunt, call record, several types of caller ID, call forwarding, free in-network calling, call waiting and many other services that you can only get with a VoIP service.
At this time they are having a special- register now and get 6 months of free service. That sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
I took a look at some of the packages that they are offering and found that each of the plans offer “call anywhere in the US/Canada” from 500 minutes worth of calls per month to unlimited, plus each plan offers voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, call return, e911 support plus a variety of other features. Package prices range from $9.95 to $35.95.
VoIP also known as Voice over Internet protocol, has really been taking off in the last year and I know several people who have switched their service over to broadband technology who are happy with the service and quality of the calls. It might be a great time to start checking into a service such as ViaTalk if you’ve been thinking of switching your service from a regular telephone network to an Internet phone service.
