GOODIES FOR WINDOWS
| |
Yes, those neat and nifty little
things that you are always looking for... |
| |
|
|
| |
Multimedia: |
|
 |
Cool to receive a flashy videoclip, but
rather annoying if it doesn't play on your computer. Often a
Codec is missing. Drop the file on G-Spot and
analyse which Codec is required. Makes your googling a great
deal easier! |
 |
|
Backup your DVD to HD. Despite what Hollywood
would have you believe, the simple fact is that making an archival
backup of any electronic media that you legally purchase is,
in fact, completely legal. Use DVD Decrypter. |
|
|
A simple tool for joining, cutting,
de-multiplexing DVD VOB files is Vobedit. |
|
|
Cuttermaran is a cut program for MPEG1
or MPEG2 video streams. Free and not too complex to use. Allows
for re-muxing. |
|
|
If you need a simple, yet
very efficient tool to convert (encode) or play any Multimedia
file, without reading manuals or spending long
hours training, then SUPER © is all you need ( Simplified
Universal Player Encoder & Renderer) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Screencaps: |
|
|
A straightforward utility for making screencpas.
Both to clipboard as to file in one go. Screenhunter 5.0. |
|
|
Ever tried to make a screenclipping in the simple
way you'd tear something from your newspaper? Snippy is the answer
for this. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Internet classics: |
|
|
Still around, the wonderfully animated movie on
how the internet works. Warriors of the Net. You must have seen
this once! |
|
|
Hobbes' Internet Timeline. The one and only. Review
on how the internet developed over the years. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Tools and tweaks: |
|
|
Ever tried to change the default browser for each
user differently on a Windows XP computer. Not easily done, unless
you have: DefaultBrowser. |
|
|
Grab the data stored in standard list-views, list
boxes, and combo boxes from almost any application running on your
system, and export it to text, HTML or XML file. This can be done
with Sysexporter. |
|
|
Sysinternals produced a number of practical analytical
tools for Windows. The company was taken over by Microsoft in 2006.
Their software can be found at Technet. I value Process
Explorer which gives a lot more insight than the standard monitoring tool
accessed by ctrl-alt-del. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Networking: |
|
|
Get all the details on an IP-address with IPNetInfo. |
|
|
Fast tool to read out all there is to know on
your network adapters, ip-addresses, gateways, DNS, etc. Saves
the trouble of opening a dos box. AdapterWatch. |
