CCCP? Whoa, you can download Russia?!

VirtualBox, link is in my signature and it's also my avatar. Most people are aware of Microsoft's VirtualPC, VMware and Parallels for virtual machines. After using Linux I stumbled upon VirtualBox and of course it also supports Apple Mac and Windows as well, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It is completely free and by far the most user friendly VM software that I have ever used. Tons of configuration options as well.

I use it for testing all the time and highly recommend it!

I really like WinDirStat.....IMO an excellent program for showing your HDD contents!!!

http://windirstat.info/

I also LOVE TrueCrypt for hiding things from prying eyes!

http://www.truecrypt.org/

Great program for combining MP3's....I use this for audiobooks so I can combine chapters into one large MP3 for my Ipod.....

I'm gonna recommend SUPER. I use this to convert multiple files. It is free and cheap.

http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

it is a bit complicated, but an awsome prog. i use it to shrink down vids i put on my zen vision w. takes a 350mb avi file and shrink it down to 85megs or so and still looks decent on the small 4.3 inch screen.

AHH! Necromancy! :eek:

I found this recently, and figured I should share. Sorry for ressurecting the dead.

Tunebite

Converts almost any video/audio file to almost any other format
Removes DRM from protected content via re-recording
>finally, I can use my blu-ray digital copies without restriction
Records from flash player videos (Youtube, and basically any other sites; it's not restricted by domain-name like other tools so yes that includes porno you dirty bastards :laugh:

)
Screen-recorder

Freeware (feature-limited, but still quite functional) version available.

Not sure if this has been posted but its pretty kool and something to look forward to in the future.

What neat about it is that you can move people around on your 2D virtual space and the software will adjust the voice accordingly to distance. So some people are louder. Or if your playing an MMO you can put all your healers to the left that way when they talk they only come from the left side and you know who they are.

cdburnerxp, for burning

7zip, better than winrar
