ebook and djvu

Ebooks are becoming more and more useful for global and ease access for the internet users. A more details on ebook can be found here.

Few months back I was looking for some reference books. Although I had some of those book that I had refered before, but at present thoese books are not available with me. It is not possible to carry all books together, specially if you are somewhere for short time. Thanks to ebook and also google book search. I have seen a new format (it may be very old for others) called "djvu: a digital document format with advanced compression technology" which is very attractive format for the ebooks. One can dowload the plugins for viewing the djvu files on the favorite browsers. It is also possible to download the Windjview program which is freely available for viewing the downloaded djvu files. There are tons of ebooks available in djvu format spreading the field of literature, humanilities, programming language, Science and technology.

For creating document in djvu format please click here.

Online video lectures

While browsing I found some interesting links sharing the lectures (I am mainly talking about lectures in Physics, Material science, Nanoscience and Technology) online over the net. I sincerely thank people for making these lectures free. Please find the links below, I will be posting more in future. Most of the streaming videos are played either on window media player or real media. It is possible to download all these video by using stream ripper programmes.

Tricks for downloading google video:

There are two different ways of downloading google videos, the first one is to download and play it in google video player.
1. Get to the video you want to download.
2. Click on Download Video; this will ask you to download the Google Video Player and then play the downloaded video using google video player.

The google video format is different than the usual known video format like avi, wmv, mpg, etc.
There for the second trick is
1. Get to the video you want to download.
2. Click on Download Video, this will ask you to download the Google Video Player, which you will not accept, rather you should click on the "manual video download" then a download link for the ".GVP" file will appear, click on it and download the ".GVP" file.
3. Open the ".GVP" file in any text editor. You will see that the file contains several plain text fields, i.e. GVP version, duration, title, description, and the most important is the url. Copy the value of the URL (for e.g. url:http://vp.video.google.com/.....docid=-85555
duration: 22556666, you should copy only the details in italic as shown here) field and paste it into your browser -- it'll automatically ask you to download the source file, no matter the format it was uploaded in (i.e. AVI, MPG, MOV, etc).
