FontBook on iPad
FontBook 2.0 Tour E from FontBook on Vimeo.
If typography were a religion, this would be the Bible. FontBook is the world’s most comprehensive typographic reference tool, containing 110 type foundries and featuring over 620,000 typeface specimens. Use the FontBook app to look up and view fonts by name, style category, typographical subclassification, designer name, foundry name, year of publication, or by similarity of design. Compile your own list of favorite fonts, and use the “compare” tool to test-drive fonts. Specially designed for fast, easy navigation and also works as a fun playground for finding inspiration.
FontBook is primarily an online browsing application and displays its full content only when your device has internet access through a WiFi or 3G mobile connection. However, if you have no online access, you can temporarily switch the “Include online content” setting to “off”. This will enable the app to display a reduced pool of selected content which will work offline. Whenever you do have online access, you can switch back to the full version by switching the “Include online content” setting to “on”.

Flash: Video Exporting (H.264)
> Video Setting
> Sound Settings
What is H.264 format:
H.264 is a new video codec standard which can achieve high quality video in relatively low bitrates. You can think it as the “successor” of the existing formats (MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, XviD, etc.) as it aims in offering similar video quality in half the size of the formats mentioned before. Also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding, MPEG-4 Part 10), H.264 is actually defined in an identical pair of standards maintained by different organizations, together known as the Joint Video Team (JVT). While MPEG-4 Part 10 is an ISO/IEC standard, it was developed in cooperation with the ITU, an organization heavily involved in broadcast television standards. Since the ITU designation for the standard is H.264, you may see MPEG-4 Part 10 video referred to as either AVC or H.264. Both are valid, and refer to the same standard.
The latest version of ffdshow supports H264 playback. Pleaseremember, ffdshow is a DirectShow filter so after you install it you'll be able to play H264 in most video players you already have installed, including Windows Media Player. Alternatively you can download VLC player. It can play H.264 without need of any codec or DirectShow filter. Apple QuickTime players support H264 too, but their support is not so great for all formats, so don't use them for general H264 playback. Generally most players or codec packs nowadays include H264 support so you shouldn't have any problems. You may also watch your H.264 files on your Xbox 360 and PS3 with smooth playback.
You may come across all kind of file extensions and still the codec can be H.264:
*.avi - People also use .avi for H264 videos too!
*.mp4 - QuickTime use this format. Better than AVI as you can store AAC audio as well.
*.m4v - The standard file format for videos for iPods developed by Apple.
*.mkv - Matroska container - can support many video and audio formats.
