I made a GUI install for Vista this morning. If you folks think this will work, I'll make one for XP as well as KindlePID and KindleFIX videos.
Edit: The upload to youtube makes it fuzzy. I've uploaded using several different formats and this is the clearest I can get it. Last edited by daffy4u; 11-18-2008 at 09:49 AM. |

Nice work. Where do you find all the time. Why no audio?
I would also suggest that you put the hi-res versions up on the Wiki... if that is possible. Youtube while a nice free service keeps the resolution low to save bandwidth. BOb |

I've been off for two weeks (unplanned), so I had time for these projects. I go back to work today, so this is it for a while. |

What did you use to capture this? I am still looking for a good one for Mac. I know there are some out there because I watch several screencasts for Mac and Ruby on Rails. BOb |

I used a freebie program Debut Video Capture. I used Windows Movie Maker software for the editing. Oh as to sound. That was just a whole other level of complication that I didn't want to get into. I would never finish. Every time I have to make an edit and re-upload (many times), I'd have to re-record the sound (or be very careful with the edit). The video is really an overview of the process to show how simple and quick it is to set up. I've directed them to the wiki and this thread for more detailed information. I am learning a lot on the project. |

Add &fmt=18 to the Youtube URL to get HQ mp4 video.

Ok,
Kindle Mobi2Mobi Mac page is ready for review/testing. I also did a bit of enhancement on all the pages... making Visual Kindle Guide a link on all of them, created a Visual Kindle Guide and a MobiPerl category. These should help visitors finding this stuff in Google to get to the related pages. BOb |

I would like to double check one thing. On the Windows side, in order to change the title on an Amazon .azw title (not kindlefixed titiles), the command has to read (the GUI was changed to include this):
mobi2mobi originalBOOKname.azw --outfile revisedFILEename.azw --exthtype updatedtitle --exthdata "revisedBOOKname.azw" I don't remember if I had that as part of the template, so I want to double check. Is the "--exthtype updatedtitle --exthdata" not required on the Mac side? |

I'm sure the exact same command is required. I have never moved the results to my Kindle to test it since I am using a bogus PID in the sample screen prints. Let me know when you change the command and I will redo the screen print with the correct command being used. BOb |

I know non-Amazon files work fine without it because most of the testing I did for the Mobi2Mobi Advanced page were done without the extra part. Edit: Just to clarify, it's only when changing the book "title" that the extra stuff comes into play. Everything else is the same for .azw, .mobi and .prc.
