I have witnessed the future.

No, I am not a witch and my surname isn’t McFly but I have just witnessed something truly amazing.
You know that bit in Bladerunner where the guy zooms in on a photograph, then turns the corner (all inside the photograph)…you know that bit you shout “ah come on….that’s impossible”…well….read on boys and girls.

It is now reality.

In the year 2007, Microsoft in conjunction with some very clever individuals from the University of Washington have come up with software which will revolutionise the internet and the way we look at photographs.

No jokes in this blog..no sarcastic humour…just take a look…

You’ve all heard the expression, “You can’t polish a turd”. To a certain degree, this statement is fairly accurate although I did once talk to a guy who claimed he’d managed to convert an innocent looking poodle plop into a life-size Michaelangelo replica by elbow grease alone.

The clever people at “Simplest Utils” strongly believe in the above maxim. Using their software you can convert your video footage into a vast selection of formats, such as VCD, SVCD, MPEG, MP4, WMV, 3GP, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, H.264/PSP AVC, MOV, RM, ASF, FLV.

The end result will never look as good as your original file, but then what do you expect for free?

Did I say free? Yep indeedum. Free trial for 30 days. Then, only $29.95 to buy.

Start polishing now.
