TuberVideo - Multiple Format Video Player
TuberVideo is a multiple format video player that automatically detects
and uses codecs already installed on the system. It features windows &
fullscreen video modes, unicode filenames support, control of sound
volume with the mouse wheel, subtitle display, mute button, and more.
This is a handy video player that can play many of the popular video
formats. Even though we have codecs installed for other video formats, we
could only view AVI, MP3, MPG and DivX videos. We could not view our MOV
and MP4 videos, or the FLV Flash videos even though we can view them
through other programs. Possibly other formats would be playable, but we
did not have any further sample videos on hand. TuberVideo has few
controls, which means that it is easy to use though lacks the usual array
of bells 'n whistles. We liked the audio control that uses the mouse's
scroll wheel, but that was one of the few controls on offer. TuberVideo
is a great little interface for the codecs you have already install
ed on your computer. We were less impressed with the 8MB sample video
included with the program. While it is an excellent clip, it makes up
well over 95% of the total size of the download and we feel that this
should be an option, not mandatory. TuberVideo does what it does as well
as the codecs on your computer, and provides a simple, yet effective
interface.

daBurner - Portable Burning Program
daBurner is a program that burns CDs & DVDs. It features a fully
portable executionable (runs from a USB drive!), it offers underrun
protection, it is extremely simple to use (no complicated burning options),
offers re-writable disk erasure, and more. This is an interesting CD/DVD
burning program. It lacks nearly all bells 'n whistles, yet still manages
to produce a usable disk. Unfortunately, it does have a number of
limitations. For a start, it only burns data disks -- there is no option
for creating an audio disk or a multimedia disk (VCD, etc). It will not
add folders or their contents -- it only works on a flat file system
where everything is in the same folder. It does not warn you that the
files you have selected will not fit on a disk -- it just tries to burn
them all and then presents an error message when it fails. Finally, it
does not finalize a disk so a completed disk cannot be shared with other
people and can only be used on the burner that created it.
