A New Version of DevHook in the Works?

According to a post on the Max Console forums, we could be seeing a new version of DevHook in the not too distant future. This comes as a surprise since the developer of of DevHook was issued a cease and desist by Sony at the beginning of August. While it's just a rumor at this point, I'm sure we all hope that this one's true. Here's what Zeus had to say about it on the Max Console forums:
Great news! We've been notified that Booster is hard at work on a new release of Devhook, we might get lucky next week but a confirmed release date is not available yet. The grand plan is to release Devhook one day as custom firmware, but it's unclear when this will happen, the next release should feature firmware v2.8 support only. It's good to hear Booster is alive and well.

iVideoToGo Movie File Converter for PSPs and Video iPods

The iVideoToGo, from InterVideo, is a downloadable video library organizer and file converter that will convert your various video files (DVD, etc.) into MP4 formats for the PSP and video iPod. This program'snot satisfied with simply converting or compressing files, however. It can encode higher-resolution MP4 files so they can be viewed at a higher quality on TV screens. It will read and compress a wide variety of file formats, such as DVD-Video, AVI, H.264, MPEG, WMV, MOV, DivX, ASF, DVR-MS, and 3GP. And it also supports H.264, the latest high-quality, high-compression file format.

It is designed for ease of use. The Platinum version of the program features automatic synchronization between the PC and the iPod or PSP. It will even batch-convert a library of files while you're asleep or otherwise occupied, all ready to be uploaded into your device when you get back.

The iVideoToGo Platinum is available for $29.95 from the product website.

System Requirements (minimum)
  • Intel® Pentium® III 600 MHz
  • 128 MB system memory
  • Windows® 2000/XP
  • Windows® compatible sound card that supports 48KHz Playback (PCI recommended)

  • 50 MB (iVideoToGo only); 100 MB (iVideoToGo and Third-party tools)

The Neuros Video Recorder Competition

From PSPUpdates:

Just yesterday we reviewed the Neuros Video Recorder and gave it a hearty thumbs up for its ease of use and flexibility  at the end of the review we teased that we'd be letting  you guys know how to get your hands on one for free, and we promised that we'd let you know how to win one for free, and that it would be easy. So here are the details folks.

Here's what you have to do. Find a humorous screengrab or screenshot from a TV show, movie or videogame and add a caption to it that makes everyone here at the QJ Labs laugh their butts off. That's it, that's all you have to do. But it has to be clever, be smart and above all be funny. I want to see tears streaming down Jake's eyes, I want to see Justin laughing so hard he snorts milk out his nose, just be "teh funny!"

Rules and Regulations

Yup there are rules, every contest has to have rules, and this one's no different.
  • All entries must be submitted to contest@qj.net with the words "Caption Competition" in the email title.
  • The deadline for entries is 12pm EST on Friday the 22nd of September.
  • All images submitted must be in either PNG or JPEG image formats.
  • The use of racial or sexual slurs and foul language is prohibited. (That's just too easy)
  • The subject matter's up to you, pretty much anything's fair game.
The Winnar!

The contest will be narrowed down to three finalists by myself and Jake over the weekend, and starting Monday the 25th of September, you'll all be able to vote for the contest winner in a site poll that will run till Monday the 2nd of October.

Well that's pretty much it guys, time to get crackin'! Get those creative juices flowing and let's see how hard you can make us all hardy har-har! Good luck to everyone, and many thanks to the guys at Neuros for making this contest possible!
