File Extension AMR...

Ok, the last file extension I am curious about and discussing is the File Extension AMR. This is another one I had no idea about, so I did some research on it is short for Adaptive Multi-Rate and is a patented audio compression optimized for speech encoding. File Extension AMR is also a file format for storing spoken audio using the AMR codec. Many modern mobile telephone handsets will allow you to store short recordings in the AMR format. Programs exist to convert between this and other formats such as MP3, although it should be remembered that AMR is a speech format and is unlikely to give ideal results for other audio like music.

It is a little technical, but the usage of AMR requires optimized link adaptation that selects the best codec mode to meet the local radio channel and capacity requirements. If the radio conditions are bad, source coding is reduced and channel coding is increased. This improves the quality and robustness of the network connection while sacrificing some voice clarity. The new intelligent system allows the network operator to prioritize capacity or quality per station. AMR was adopted as the standard speech codec by 3GPP, which I already mentioned a little.
So, there is a little more file extension information for you. More to come later, enjoy!!

The File Extension 3g2

Ok Their is another file extension I will talk about it's the File Extension 3g2. If you are like me, you probably haven't heard of this one before. I was really curious when I saw it. I had to clue what it was for. 3GP or File Extension 3g2 is a simplified version of the MP4 format, designed to accommodate cell phones. There are two different standards for this format:

• 3GPP (for GSM-based Phones, may have filename extension .3gp)
• 3GPP2 (for CDMA-based Phones, may have filename extension .3g2)

3GP or File Extension 3g2 is a usually for use on 3G cell phones but can also be played on some 2G and 4G phones. When transferred to a computer, 3GP movies can be viewed on Linux, Mac and Windows with Media Player RealPlayer or QuickTime. Some cell phones use the .mp4 extension for 3GP video.

Well, I hope this helps a little and gives you a little info about this file type. A lot more cell phones are 3G now, so you will probably see it in the future. Enjoy!!

Personal Update

Hello all! I hope everyone is doing fine. As you may know, I am preparing to be a father again. We only have a week or two to go, maybe less, who knows!! Sheila has a doctors appointment tomorrow and an ultrasound and if the doctor isn't happy with what he sees, he may schedule her for tomorrow or one day this week. It's getting pretty exciting and scary at the same time as we don't know what to expect. We are hoping for the best and have alot of support from family and friends, so we are truly blessed to have such people in our lives.

We have been getting my son Joshua's new room done too. My sister painted his room light green on the bottom with a sky blue above it and on the ceiling. It also has a wallpaper border where the 2 colors meet. It's little baby animals like zebras, tigers, monkeys, etc. It looks really cute. Should last him several years to come. I hope everyone, enjoys my little bits of knowledge and little notes. Take care!!

Shop for Electronics?

Hello everyone! In case you guys love to shop for little gadgets and such like me, you'll want to check out SHOP.com. They are having a sale on their gadgets like MP3 players, memory cards, game consoles, GPS receivers, laptops and digital cameras. I have 3 favorites of these. One is the mp3 player, because who doesn't like to carry music around with them on a small little music player. I remember the days when we had to carry a big radio around to play our music on. Now they have these small digital players that can hold a large amount of songs. So shop MP3 Players now!

My 2nd is the GPS receiver. For those of you who don't know what this are, it is basically small device that locates and tells the computer where in the world that you are. It is great for driving somewhere because it tells you what street you are on and in case you need directions, how to get there, turn by turn. Very cool indeed!

My 3rd choice would have to be the digital camera. I know everyone these days has a camera and chances are it is a digital one. Remember the old film style ones? The ones you had to advance after each picture and then have the roll developed. Now all you do is use a little SD card memory card that plugs right in. Most of the DC cards are big enough to hold hundreds of photos. Can't do that with the old style ones. Also, if you take a bad picture, just erase it and take another. No wasted film!! They have huge selection of digital camera sale right now and you can choose the brands you like.
