WordPress only allows the uploading of certain file types, as specified in file <wordpress folder>\wp-includes\functions.php in function wp_get_mime_types. If, for example, you want to allow the upload of .IRS files, you must edit the wp_get_mime_types function and add an entry for the .IRS file type, somewhere. In the example depicted below, the .IRS file type [...]

The open source project "Album Art Downloader" (AAD) http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/ is my favorite tool for grabbing covers for my music. However, I rarely have the time to organize my albums neatly, for example with a proper folder structure as in "artist\album\…", instead having all the files dumped to a single folder whenever I have the time [...]

If you logged into a Windows share with the wrong credentials, you’ll find that Windows Explorer doesn’t offer a direct way of correcting the mistake.

To tape in HD1080, I use the original Canon HV20, which records the digital video in Mini-DV tapes. The compression is lower than in any other domestic format, the bitrate is higher, the quality is superior, but the tapes are a turn-off for many, who prefer the comfort of an internal HDD, even if with [...]

In Windows 7, if you try to add a network share to your “music” or “videos” or “pictures” libraries, you’ll probably get an error, either because the network folder is not indexed or indexable, or the remote files are not available offline. Well, it might not be indexed or the files might not be available [...]

Blu-Ray discs can be dumped to ISO files. Usually, the main file in the structure will be at \BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts, corresponding to a MPEG Transport Stream, holding a AVCHD (Audio Video Compressed High Definition) video – an usual format for SONY’s high definition (HD) consumer cameras and for HD content on the Playstation 3. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Windows [...]
