Tips And Tricks About Facebook Timeline

Recent Timeline feature on Facebook has been applauded by most of the users generally. This new feature, though many think has security concerns, yet has changed the Facebook design for good as the response of the users has been more on the positive side. Timeline not only makes your profile look better but it seems to be a moving mosaic of photos and videos with so much information at a single place arranged in order of date and time. This surely makes the users spend more time checking out their friends profile to see what they did when.

If some of the readers have not yet changed to the new profile they can get started with this feature just by clicking the link below.

TIMELINE

Anyways this new feature needs some taking to. So here are some easy tips and tricks with pictures to help you make best of this new Timeline feature.

1. View All Your Timeline Content

Facebook’s mysterious algorithm decides which stories will showcase on your Timeline.

However, it also includes half-hidden posts. Posts that are marked on your Timeline, but not displayed, are noted by a blue dot on the central line. You can view these posts by clicking on the individual blue dots.

A quicker method is to click on the three blue dots underneath each year. This gives you the option to view all stories within that year.





1. Hide Stuff From Your Timeline

As we’ve pointed out, the Timeline gives friends the ability to view your entire Facebook history.

For this reason, we imagine the first thing most people will want to do is to “sanitize” their Timeline. The good news is, it’s simple to hide what you don’t want showing.

When you see a post you’d like to nix, just hit the pencil icon at the top of the post and select “Hide from Timeline.” This doesn’t delete the content from your account, but it will keep it safe from prying eyes.

3. Customize Your Favorites Boxes



Next up is the ability to customize the boxes that appear under your cover photo. The “Friends” and “Photos” boxes are fixed, but you can play around with the others.

To edit the boxes, click on the small arrow icon on their right. All boxes that can be moved or removed will have a pencil edit icon appear as you hover.

Hitting on the pencil brings up edit options to remove or swap boxes. To add a Facebook app, or one of the new social apps, click on the plus sign on an empty box.



4. Hide the Sidebar



You can make Timeline look even less cluttered by hiding the sidebar.

To do this, click on the arrow icon at the very bottom right of your screen. The sidebar will collapse, but leave the adverts to bug you — although, we’ve got a tip for those too…



5. Get Rid of an Annoying Advert



If a specific ad is really bothering you, simply adios it from your display.

Hover over the advert and click the “X” that appears at the top right. This gives you the option to hide it or hide all ads from that advertiser.

If you choose to hide the ad, Facebook gives you the further option to tailor what kind of ads appear on your account.

6. Change an Album’s Primary Photo

Albums you’ve created will show up in your Timeline. However, you can change the large, or “primary” image.

Click the pencil edit icon to select a different image from the album that will appear in the big window.



7. Feature a Post on Timeline



Make certain posts appear larger on your Timeline so they take up a double column space.

To do this, click the star icon in the top right corner of the post. You can minimize large posts the same way.

8. Customize Your Subscription Updates

When you subscribe to someone’s public updates, Facebook defaults to “Most updates.” You can change this.

Either go to the person’s profile and click the “Subscribed” drop down menu or, more efficiently, go click your “Subscriptions” favorites box (under your cover photo). This gives you a bird’s-eye view of the people you’ve subscribed to.

Now, if you hit the “Subscribed” box for each person you can tailor exact updates.

9. View Your Private Activity Log

If you’ve hidden items from your Timeline, but still want to review all of your Facebook content, look to your private Activity Log. Click on the “View Activity” box under your cover photo.

Now, by selecting a type of content from the “All” drop down menu, you can browse all your past Facebook activities, organized by date.

10. View Your Profile Through Someone Else’s Eyes

As with the former version of Facebook, you can view how others see your Timeline.

Click the cog icon under your cover photo; then select “View as…”

You can now enter a friend’s name or click on the “public” hyperlink to see how stranger’s view your Timeline.

11. How to Poke

Facebook has downgraded the famous “poke” in the new Timeline design.

If you still want to “poke” your Facebook buddies, you have to head directly to their profiles. Under a friend’s cover photo, next to the “Message” box, there’s a cog menu. Click this and you’ll see the option to poke. As always, use wisely.

Compress Videos to smallest size

Okay..A video is nothing but a series of still images moving in fast motion such that they appear to be moving.I mean a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion.Frame rate, the number of still pictures per unit of time of video,ranges from PAL (Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.) and SECAM (France, Russia, parts of Africa etc.) standards specify 25 frame/s, while NTSC (USA, Canada, Japan, etc.) specifies 29.97 frame/s.The minimum frame rate to achieve the illusion of a moving image is about 15 frames per second or the video will be too jerky and you will be a dead jerk.

TERMINOLOGY 

• BITRATE/Datarate- The parameter of quality of Video,Higher Bitrate,greater size and gr8 quality.Reverse is ALSO true !


• FPS - Nopes..its not FIRST PERSON SHOOTER (Sorry gamers :P) Its Frames per second.Simply changing from 30 fps to 24 fps could result in as much as 20 percent file size reduction!It's better to choose a slightly lower, 'round-number' frame-rate in most cases, such as 24.0, or 25.0.


• CBR - Constant Bitrate.Variable Bitrate in compression leads to high quality audio/video with less file size.


• VBR - Variable Bitrate.Variable Bitrate in audio compression leads to less high quality audio as compared to VBR.Its Used for streaming purposes.


• MP1/2/4 or MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4 - A video format developed by Motion Pictures Experts Group and Hence the name.MPEG 1 was the first in series allowing for video playback.MPEG2 allows DVD quality and MPEG4 aims at steaming internet media and High compression technique.


• AVI - Audio Video Interleaved.One of the oldest formats available,It enjoys itself in new incarnations as DIVX and XVID.Its a shell in which other techniques/compression/encoding methods -are worked out.


• High Definition- Very high bitrate media used for home/personal viewing.

FORMATS





Due to popularization of video,flurry of video formats have flodded the market.But still the most popular ones remain WMV,AVI,MPEG1/2/4,DIVX,XVID,H.264,FLV,RMV,QUICKTIME and More...

Audio formats include MPEG3,Ogg,AC3,WMA,WAV,RM and many more..

Then comes the DVD and High Defination Media,Encoded at much high bitrate



TOOLS



The List is long..and You might not want everyone of them :) To get them,just Google the name.They are widely recognized .

WARNING

=======

[VIDEO ENCODERS/DECODERS ARE SYSTEM/MEMORY HOGS !!! SINCE ITS A VERY INTENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING PROCESS,YOU MIGHT WANT TO FINISH IT ASAP]

• NERO - Available like booze and (almost) free. Make it enterprise (if u have not one already) and use NERO VISION to squeeze it out.Also supports editing.


• Avid - Professionals Use it...nice interface..but still costly.supports editing.


• IMTOO MPEG ENCODER - Terrific performance,supports exhaustive list of formats.Noobs and Newbie's,do yourself a favor and just stick to it.It will deliver almost everything you want (except editing).


• FFDSHOW - A collection of collective codecs.Use command line (if you like) to encode videos,or just watch/decode videos using it. It comes free with K-Lite mega codec pack :)


• VIRTUAl Dub - Free,fantastic and supports everything.But you might need to brainstorm for using it.supports editing and a lot of stuff !! Highly recommended for Geeks .


• AC3DEC - Used to decode AC3 audio files.Most of DVD's use this audio compression method.Get its GUI program to get the best out of it.


• FLASKMPEG - used to rip dvd's..well you have plenty of choices out there...

COMPRESSION

"SPEED VS QUALITY"

Compress using any format you want,full frames of even a 10 minute footage will eat up a lot of disk space in your PC.So..some of optimisation measures you can take to compress videos -

• Choose a good codec like DIVX/XVID,MPEG4 or WMV.


• When Aiming for MAXIMUM compression with MINIMUM quality loss,So just choosing the compressor is NOT ENOUGH..tweak accordingly bitrates (lower for low quality small file size and higher for more quality LARGE file size)


• If a larger video is shrunk to 320x240 or similar size, the quality will be MUCH HIGHER than by simply capturing the same video at 320x240.Shrinking the frame size from say 640x480 to say 320x240,will often result in about the same picture quality as the original 640x480 video,but the new 320x240 file will probably be much much smaller.


• Crop the video to get small frame size.


• Use low bitrate audio to get small size video.


• USE NO AUDIO for silent tutorials.


• Frame rate can drastically affect filesize.

My Setting for Internet publishing/Mobile phones (low end net connection) -

• CODEC - MPEG4


• VIDEO BITRATE - 128/160 KBPS


• AUDIO BITRATE (if any) - 32/48/64 KBPS


• FRAME RATE - 15/24/25/30 FPS (choose your pick :P )


• VIDEO SIZE - 320 X 240 for internet,176 X 144 for mobile phones

I use SNAG-IT 8 for as my screen capture program



DVD-RIP





FOR COMPRESSING 4 GB VIDEO MOVIE [Assuming you have .VOB files ready]





Section A for NOOBS





TOOL USED- IMTOO MPEG ENCODER

1. open IMTOO.


2. Select Movie File.


3. Select video size from menu.For DVD quality,choose 720 X 480.


4. Set Birate to 700-900 KBPS.


5. Set Framerate to 25 FPS.


6. Set aspect as you wish.


7. Set Audio Codec to MP3,Audio bitrate to 160 KBPS/192 KBPS


8.  Set Audio sample rate to 44100 Hz


9. Hit Encode and leave the PC alone for encoding of file.

Section B for GEEKS OUT THERE :D





TOOL USED - VIRTUAL DUB,AC3DEC,FLASKMPEG

*PLACE ALL .VOB FILES AT SAME FOLDER !

[1]. open FlaskMPEG to convert the VOB video files,select video file,Choose the type of codec (compressor/decompressor) you want to use generally that will be DivX.DIVX LOW MOTION is best for almost all movies and for those which have NO ACTION and Fast-Motion is only good when almost the entire movie is very fast paced like Terminator 2 or that of Final Fantasy - Advent Children..you get the idea.. and set bitrate to 900 KBPS,frame rate to 24/25 KBPS,choose output location,set process priority to high and hit encode and STAY AWAY FROM YOUR PC !!! After a looooooong time,you will have a single AVI file.

[2]. Put AC3DEC.exe in UR VOB FILE folder,run command prompt, and type-

ac3dec [FILENAME1.VOB] -allvobs -out [filename2.WAV]

NOTE -

* ac3dec is the name of the application being run -- you can also write "ac3dec.exe", with the identical effect

* FILENAME1 is the name of the first .vob file -- in this case 'vts_01_1'

* FILENAME2 is the name of the .wav file you are going to create -- you chose 'MI3Sound'

* -allvobs means to include all .vob files in the folder sequentially (as a single logical file)

* -out means you want to specify the name and path of the output file

Using the example above you will type this in prompt:

C:\MI3> ac3dec vts_01_1.vob -allvobs -out c:\windows\desktop\MI3.wav

Press Enter and the saving process will begin. After it finishes,close command prompt.You will have a file named MI3.wav on your desktop (approx 1GB).



[PS: GUI VERSION OWNERS WILL HAVE LESS HASSLES..BUT AFTER ALL THIS SECTION IS FOR GEEKS :P]

[3]. open Virtual Dub and select Movie File.Choose "Direct Stream Copy" from VIDEO menu.

[4]. Open the audio WAV file which was created by going to the AUDIO menu, and choosing "Use WAV file". Select the .wav file. Choose "Full Processing Mode" under Audio menu.

[5]. Then Choose "Compressor", choose the MP3 codec,Set Audio quality to 160 KBPS for high quality and 192 KBPS for Very High quality audio.

[6]. Then set 24.000 or 25.000 FPS from Frame rate option in video menu.

[7]. Choose "FILTERS" in the VIDEO menu and Add filters you want one at a time (if you wish).Configure it and use it accordingly.

[8]. Hit encode and in 25 to 50 minutes you will have your rip ready :)



NOTE : You can test how good the compression is so far, by compressing the resulting video file into a RAR file.Two Cases arise then -

1. If there is less than 5% compression,the compression is probably about as good as it will get.


2. If there is more than 5% compression,the audio and/or video can probably be compressed even further.h.264 or xvid/DIVX are your best bets for smallest file size at any given quality. Just keep in mind that eah has various quality settings that effect the compression, and thus the output size. You could use the same program to convert to each, but if the default settings are different,your output file size testing would be skewed.
