The Classic that started it all!

DVD Shrink is capable of both re-authoring and re-encoding the movie. It features an intuitive user interface which makes it easy to choose what to keep, and what to lose.

DVD Shrinks allow the user to select compression level for each video track separately to obtain the desired disc size (which is usually below 4.38GB). The software is capable of producing either an ISO image of the ripped DVD, or a VIDEO_TS folder for further processing, viewing or burning.

Exact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. The main differences between EAC and most other audio grabbers are :

• It is free (for non-commercial purposes)
• It works with a technology, which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

Features of EAC

• All kinds of CD and DVD drives are supported (including USB, Firewire, SATA and SCSI drives)
• Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)
• A secure, a fast and a burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers with jitter correction, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.
• Detection of read errors and complete losses of sync and correction in the secure mode, as far as possible
• Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and the possibility to listen to these positions
• EAC is able to copy ranges of music data, not only tracks
• Automatic speed reduction on read errors and fallback to a higher speed afterwards (depends on the used drive)
• Volume normalization of extracted audio to a given percentage
• Usage of the Windows Audio Compression manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression to e.g. MP3 waves
• Support for the LAME DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for on-the-fly MP3 compression
• Support of external MP3, WMA, flac and OggVorbis encoders for automatic compression after extraction (supports multi-processor environments)
• Batch compression to WAV files and decompression of supported encoded files to WAV
• Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression
• Detection of pre-track gaps (positions where negative track times runs towards 00:00:00)
• Detection of silence in pre-track gaps
• Automatic creation of CUE sheets for Burnnn, Feurio, Nero or even EAC, which can include all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC and also CD-Text for an exact copy
• CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges
• Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching
• Sample offsets for drives with noaccurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence
• Synchronizing between tracks for non-accurate stream drives
• Trackname editing with local/remote CD databases support and more features like ID3 tagging
• Browse and edit local database
• Certified Escient ® CDDB(TM)Compatible
• Local CDDB support
• Record and loop record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.
• Automatic renaming of MP3 files accordingto their ID3 tag
• Catalog extraction function (e.g. first 20 seconds of a track)
• Multisession (CD-Extra) support
• CD-Text support
• CD-Write support for some drives (internally and using CDRDAO)
• ID3 V1.1 tag editor with drag and drop ability from track listing and CD database browser
• Glitch removal after extraction
• Small WAV editor with the following functionality: delete, trim, normalize, pad, glitch removal, pop detection, interpolation of ranges, noise reduction, fade in/out, undo (and much more)
• Program is free for personal use, so feel free to copy

Wax is a high performance and flexible video compositing and special effects software. The idea for Wax is to be very general purpose and flexible in video compositing and effects, so that you can compose your dream video sequence with ease everytime.
Wax can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes - as a standalone application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a "plug-in" to video editors/NLEs which would be more useful for professional editors. Currently Wax can work as a plug-in with Sony Vegas®, Pure Motion EditStudio and Adobe Premiere® and work for integrating with various other NLEs is in progress.

Features

• Use graphics acceleration available with your video card for creating mind-boggling effects in realtime or near-realtime.
• Unlimited video and audio tracks with top-down compositing and many compositing modes (audio features are limited at this time).
• 2D and 3D Plugins and transitions for creating effects. Full featured 3D compositing with 3d objects, lighting, shadows, texture generators, etc. Plugins include the following.
  • RotoMate - rotoscope/paint over video with fully keyframmable shapes and masks
  • Shatter - create explosive effects
  • ModelLoader - load 3d models from .3DS, .MD2 and .MS3d files
  • Particle Generator - generate various natural particle effects like fire, smoke, rain etc
  • Text 3D - create extruded/beveled 3D text, and much more...
• Plugin Adapter technology - can load and use VirtualDub filters, DirectX plugins, Freeframe plugins and Windows Movie Maker presets inside Wax or your NLE when using Wax as a plugin.
• Full featured project management with media bins/folders, element properties and comments for ease of use.
• Transition and Plugin SDK available for developers to extend functionality by adding external plugins. WinMorph uses this Plugin SDK to extend Wax's functionality for warping and morphing.
• File input/output through filters, Filter SDK available upon request for developers to extend file format support.
• Input formats : AVI, WAV, all popular image formats.
• Output formats : AVI, MPEG, WAV, Flash, all popular image formats.
• (AVI and WAV formats support compressed audio too, using Audio Codecs installed in your PC).

Graphic designers tend to look at things differently. They see the arrangement and colour scheme of things that mere mortals would just take for granted. Anything can be art, and it takes a discerning eye to really see it sometimes. While taking part in normal computer functions, some designers may see colours that they would like to use in their own projects. Identifying the type of colour can be very difficult, but with Just Color Picker, you can get the exact colour value of any pixel.
