3GP is The Smallest Video Compression

The reason why a video has a small size is because it is compressed. Same like picture or audio. For picture we can change the resolution of the image and also the amount of the color and save it into compression format. Uncompress picture normally in raw format or tiff and the compression format is jpg or gif. For audio we can change the bit rate of the sound. Uncompress audio normally in wav format and the compression we usually know is mp3. How about video? Video combine this method. For compressing video we can compress the file size by compressing the visual and sound. Compressing the visual can be done by resizing the visual size and change the video frame rate. Compressing the audio can be done by changing the bit rate and if you want more less file size, you can cut the sound from stereo to mono.
Some compression video format normally has it combination to make the compression; all you have to do is customize them. Smaller video size effect the small file size.
When you asked me what is the smallest size video format? You can find the answer by using your logic thought. Where do you find the smallest video size and all people using it? On the phone!
The video format on your phone is 3GP. Based on Wiki 3GP is a simplified version of the MPEG-4 Part 14 (MP4) container format, designed to decrease storage and bandwidth requirements in order to accommodate mobile phones. It stores video streams as MPEG-4 Part 2 or H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264), and audio streams as AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+, AAC-LC or HE-AAC. A 3GP file is always big-endian, storing and transferring the most significant bytes first. It also contains descriptions of image sizes and bit rate. 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)
3 GP created to overcome the limitation of capability processing heavy duty task because phone is not like computer. It also created to overcome the appropriate video size for phone and the limitation of memory. With 3GP format people will able to use it to make a video call. Using 3GP format for video call will not need a great effort for your phone to do the process. I believe there are consequences if you want to get the small size of your video. The first one is the video quality and second is sound quality. But you cannot check this on your phone for detail video because the phone resolution is also limited. In my opinion if we view from phone, the video still looking good.
There are many small video like wmv, divx, ogg, asf, flv, mov and many more but for me the smallest video file you can find from 3GP.

Is Life or Death a Choice or Fate?

Do you believe that your life is an accumulation of a choice? I will make this clear. I truly know that you cannot decide to be born in this world or not. But let see behind this. Your parent make a decision to married and then they decide to have a child and then you born to this world. So from the first time your life in on your parent decision. If they choose to not having a children then I am sure you will not exist in this world reading my article.

In my opinion, life is like a road. I will make an analogy as an ant which is climbing on a tree.
At first the ant will walk trough the main log of tree but then more the ant walk, the ant will discover more small road. More and more walk to the top during the journey, the ant will discover a branch. In this position ant will make a decision which road to be choose. Every road has it's ergo. Every step of the the ant's journey come from the ant's decision. Maybe you, me or the ant it self doesn't know if the road will bring it to death but you know the cause, it is because of the ant decision.

Life and death is in your hand. You can choose to die now if you want. But you must know also that you are not independently have right to your life. Others also have right to your life. Your life is on other people choice. If i choose to kill you right now, your life is on my choice.

If then emerge a question, "How about disaster?" or "How do I know if i will die tomorrow?", " I am not plan or intend to die tomorrow". That is exactly what I mean from the first time that life is an accumulation of a choice. For example, there is a plane crash in somewhere and all people die. Do they have a choice to be live? My answer is "yes, they have a choice". It the time before they fly, they can still decide not to fly. But who knows that the plane will crash? You and me doesn't know about this. Let us see there are many different reasons a plane crash may occur:

* Piloting errors
* Faulty equipment
* Violations of FAA regulations
* Design or structural problems
* Flight service negligence
* Air traffic controller error
* Third party carrier selection negligence
* Maintenance or repair negligence
* Fueling error

Wiki says "Approximately 80 percent of all aviation accidents occur shortly before, after, or during takeoff or landing, and are often described as resulting from 'human error". What that is mean? This mean all connected in people choice. This is why I say that you are not the one who have an authority to your life. I will not talk more deep about this. Can you see the main idea that we live or dead in this world is because an accumulation of choice. Isn't this interesting?

VITA BREVIS


One day, Jostein Gaarder a famous Norwegian writer with his earlier book 'Sophie's World' came into Book Fair in Buenos Aires. He found an old manuscript put in a box. The manuscript was written in Latin language. He was very interested, surprised with the manuscript and having great enthusiasm to buy that manuscript after he knew that the manuscript was a personal letter which was was written by a girl named Florentina to Saint Agustine, one of the most influential person in Catholic Religion.
The manuscript was a Florentina confession as one person who was ever came into Aurel's (Florentina used to called to Agustine) life. Florentina was Agustine's girl Friend. They met in Rhetoric college. They lived together until they had a child named Adeodotus. Adeodotus means The Blessed Person. The manuscript was a Florentina's confession to Agustin. The Confession was actually Florentina's reaction of Agustin's book titled 'Confession'. The book was divided into several chapter which told about Agustin's life since he was young until he came into Catholic and became a great person who gave a big influence into Catholic thought. Florentina radically criticism Agustin's book because he was never thought that Florentina had an important role in Agustin's life. He was never write about Florentina explicitly in his book. The manuscript was actually Florentina's criticism about Catholic church thought which never positioning woman as same as man. Maybe the manuscript was a dangerous thing in that age.

This book is interesting in general. It can change my vision about the holly person in Catholic. Even though Aguistine is a Holly person in Catholic, he still a human who have love and desire to make love.
