Re: Recommended Software for certian tasks

It is in the Important Topic Index yes. I will fix the spelling. :p
 
Might wanna fix the title of the link in the stickies thread, b/c instead of the thread title it has this:

"http://www.techist.com/forums/f9/rec...5/#post1347745"

Kinda hard to tell what it's about :p.
 
How about:

Magic Video Converter, it's the best I have personally used for converting almost any type of video file to any other type of video file. MP4 to divx? Sure! FLV to DVD spec MPEG? Yup! You gotta MKV file? It'll do it.

Foobar is an excellent, free, low-resources audio player.
 
Yes but almost everything we have listed is for Video. There is no audio stuff in there. ;)
