]]> If you’ve been drooling over the awesome drag-and-drop file sharing app Droplr and can’t partake because you’re on a PC, today is a day to rejoice. WinDroplr is a Windows application hooked into the Droplr API. It works exactly the same as Droplr on Mac.  Droplr allows you to take screenshots, drag-and-drop files onto your system tray, share text, markdown and code snippets with the greatest of ease. Once you send Droplr your content it outputs a short URL to share with your friends. The best part is Droplr is free.

]]> I’ve had several people ask me how to transfer sermon DVD’s to the web and more frequently to mobile devices.  For smaller churches it’s not a reality to stream your services live, let alone archive them on a computer.  It takes expensive equipment, streaming server bandwidth and trained volunteer staff that most churches just cannot afford.  However, a lot of churches record their services to DVD instead.  The problem with DVD is that it is not easily transferred or manipulated for viewing on the web, video podcasting sermons, or downloading to mobile devices.

Enter Handbrake.  This intense free software allows you to easily RIP your DVD’s to iPod and iTouch formats.  You can also create a file worthy of uploading to a streaming site to embed on your site. (Vimeo is one of my favorites).  Handbrake is a one stop shop to RIP any unprotected DVD to a format that will fit your needs.

Once you’re done encoding your new iPhone/iPod sermon, upload it to a site like FileFactory which allows you to upload 300MB files and gives you 100GB of storage space.  Instead of hosting these files on your server, grab some free bandwidth on a file sharing server.

If you do have media files that you want to convert to iPod or iPhone format, download the ever cool, but sometimes slow Videora iPod converter.  It produces a nice quality mp4 file that looks great!  For those wishing for some reason to rip a protected DVD (this is illegal for the most part) you can use the DVD Decrypter and then convert the VOB file it outputs in Videora.  Use this instruction guide to help you through the process.

Everyone has a mobile device now.  Are you creating media that will migrate across all device types?  You can do it for free.  Why not start now?  It won’t cost you a dime!
