Just a shame that Google/Youtube allow the pettiness of the record companies to mute peoples audio tracks in their home videos if it 'happens' to have copyright music. That is just silly. 1058684815 2007-12-18T00:09:30Z 85414 2146-01-04T19:34:02Z YouTube 33705 2009-11-29T07:33:27Z http://www.youtube.com http://wakoopa.com/software/youtube http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/126/829/normal.png?1248963421 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/126/829/thumb.png?1248963421 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players win web YouTube is the most popular social network and video sharing website.

Firefox had 24.07% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of October 2009, making it the second-most popular browser worldwide, after Internet Explorer, which is the factory default browser on all Windows computers. In 5 months, Firefox has gathered steam and now owns more than 25% of usage share of web browsers closing the gap between it and IE. To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements some current web standards plus a few features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include Adblock Plus, Video DownloadHelper, NoScript, Personas, FlashGot, and Greasemonkey, along with many others. Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows (version 3.5 supports Windows Vista and XP; although not officially supported as of November 2009, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7), Mac OS X (10.4 or later officially supported), most Linux distributions, and many other Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release branch is version 3.5, first released on June 30th, 2009. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL. 2009-06-03T18:41:44Z 64320 0 Can't say I have ever experienced issues with my registry or instability issues with this application.

We aren't ALL pirates! Great for backing up commercial DVDs because the discs don't last for ever! Eventually the numbnuts film studios will realise that silly protection will ALWAYS get cracked and that in real life.....people just want to back up their media. If you own it, it should be your right to do so!

It can be used to image any DVD, but is especially useful for decrypting copy-protected movies. The program can also record images to disc. CSS decrypting software (such as DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, Smartripper and DVD Shrink) allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD. It also removes Macrovision, Content Scrambling System (CSS), region codes, and user operation prohibition. The program was once distributed as freeware, but is no longer legally available for distribution in certain jurisdictions. The burning engine is being used in a new program called ImgBurn. The disc images can be: -Viewed on the PC using software such as PowerDVD and WinDVD (WinDVD, however, can only view complete DVD-Video structures.) -Encoded to a smaller size and stripped of unwanted extras like film trailers with re-authoring tools like DVD Shrink and Nero Recode. -Burned onto optical media (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL and DVD-RAM) to produce discs playable in stand-alone/hardware DVD players. -Exported to VCD, SVCD or DivX format and possibly recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW media. 2009-06-03T18:33:08Z 64317 0 Less of a ripper, because it doesn't actually decrypt anything. It simply copies over data from the DVD disc but it has the ability to compress the content so that you can fit a dual layer DVD to a single layer DVD disc.....for the purposes of backing up....of course. :-) I use this if I wish to watch a DVD on a long distance trip on my laptop. 2703523 2007-04-26T07:45:14Z 329 2009-11-29T17:57:39Z DVD Shrink 1664 2009-10-09T14:33:36Z http://www.dvdshrink.org http://wakoopa.com/software/dvd-shrink http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/131/normal.png?1239131999 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/131/thumb.png?1239131999 157 DVD Shrink http://wakoopa.com/developers/dvd-shrink Audio & Video rippers 27 Rippers http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/rippers win DVD Shrink is a freeware program for Windows that facilitates backing up DVD movies. Store-bought DVDs are usually dual layer (8.5 GB), while most blank DVD media are single layer (4.7 GB), so part of DVD Shrink's functionality is to re-encode the movie in a lower quality and/or discard extra content such as foreign-language soundtracks. 2009-06-03T18:29:16Z 64316 0 I use this on Windows XP.

Currently it known as Steem 3.2, which is the latest version. I find it much more convenient than getting out my old Atari ST. It faithfully emulates most of the Atari 16bit machines. All you need is a disk image, a few TOS roms to get started and you are away. For me, being able to muck about with ST applications and playing Moonshine Racers or Lotus 3 or even Stardust is just a nice way of wasting an hour or so. 18893 2008-01-07T17:23:05Z 89274 2009-11-18T14:58:36Z The Steem Engine 14 2009-10-22T11:49:25Z http://wakoopa.com/software/the-steem-engine http://wakoopa.com/images/avatar_software.gif http://wakoopa.com/images/avatar_software_thumb.gif 21066 Anthony and Russell Hayward http://wakoopa.com/developers/anthony-and-russell-hayward 62 Virtualization http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/virtualization win Atari ST emulator 2009-06-03T18:15:26Z 64307 0 Handy program.

Also alot of useful keyboard shortcuts that Windows Media Player 11 seems to be lacking. Infact, WMP has been lacking things like that since WMP 9 I think. I just prefer the simpler look. Its often quicker to execute than other media players. I just haven't fallen in love with VLC Player yet, though I am persisting....so wait for my review of that once I have used it for a while. 486684370 2007-04-21T12:52:56Z 161 2018-10-15T07:58:51Z Media Player Classic 11683 2009-11-22T05:14:48Z http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2 http://wakoopa.com/software/media-player-classic http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/362/normal.png?1239217963 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/362/thumb.png?1239217963 82 Gabest http://wakoopa.com/developers/gabest Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players win Media Player Classic is a compact free software media player for Microsoft Windows. The application has a similar look and feel to the old light-weight Windows Media Player 6.4. Underneath, however, it is a completely different application which has all the options and features one might expect from a modern media player. This player is capable of VCD, SVCD and DVD playback, without the need to install any additional software or codecs. Media Player Classic has built-in codecs for MPEG-2 video with support for subtitles and codecs for LPCM, MP2, AC3 and DTS audio. It also contains an improved MPEG splitter that supports subtitles on SVCDs and supports direct playback of VCDs and SVCDs using its VCD/SVCD/XCD Reader. On October 30, 2005 Gabest added *.mp4 and MPEG-4 Timed Text support. An AAC decoding filter has been present in MPC for a while, which makes MPC suitable for AAC playback in mp4. Media Player Classic is primarily based on the DirectShow architecture, and therefore automatically uses installed DirectShow decoding filters. For instance, after the open source DirectShow decoding filter ffdshow has been installed, fast and high quality decoding and postprocessing of the DivX, Xvid, H.264 and Flash Video formats is available in MPC. In addition to DirectShow, MPC can also use the QuickTime and the RealPlayer architectures (if installed on the computer) to play their native files.
