Review
Media Portal is an open source program that can turn your PC into an advanced multi-media center. With this program you can watch movies, TV, listen to the radio or to your music files, record TV shows or read you emails and RSS feed items. The people that made this program initially worked on the media center application for Microsoft XBox and after finishing that they created this open source program for the PC.
The program is very complex and my advice is to take some time to configure it right after finishing the installation procedure. You can add your TV tuner or DVB card so that it will be recognized by the program later on. You can also use various types of remote controls that are supported by this software.
mediaportal screenshot 1
Once you have finished the configuration you can get going, watch TV, movie files, music, you can even get the weather if you have a working internet connection.

There is almost no limit to what this program can do. The only thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that it’s quite greedy with your system resources and it tends to get sluggish and slow now and then. If you have a low end PC you might better not even try to install this, it could bring your PC to its knees faster than you think.
The program can also be enriched with the several plugins and extensions that are available on the developer’s website.

 XMedia Recode


Windows users definitely do not have a shortage of video converters at their disposal. That’s great on the one hand but on the other hand it could make the selection process quite difficult. The video converter applications differ greatly in complexity, some require minimal user input and knowledge of video terminology while others do require advanced knowledge about bitrates, codecs, filters or framerates.
XMedia Recode falls into both categories. The free video converter comes with several pre-configured profiles that can be used to convert videos with just a few clicks and no background knowledge at all. There are profiles available for gaming systems like Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s Playstation 3 and for mobile devices like Apple’s iPod and iPhone series, dozens of Nokia cell phones and other devices. Way more than 100 profiles are available to select and there is the option to select custom settings as well in case the device is not in the list.
Custom settings are very extensive. Dozens of video and output formats and codecs can be selected to convert the video into a different format.


Video files can be opened from the computer’s hard drive or directly from the DVD (or video_ts folders located on your hard disk drive)
XMedia Recode provides features that most video converters do not. Most of these features are located in the Crop / Preview tab. This includes the option to cut part of the movie, change the resolution, crop the movie, deblock, invert or correct the colors.
This freeware program uses a German interface by default but it can be changed in Optionen > Sprache to English, French, Japanese and Italian. It also has a portable version.

Download Full Version KMPlayer

 KMPlayer


KMPlyer is a versatile freeware media player that supports many video file formats and containers. It can also handle various types of subtitle files.
Review
My favorite video player right now is the open source SMPlayer, I like the way it works and of course I love the fact that it’s open source. But since many people asked me over and over to try KMPlayer I finally decided to give it a go. I installed it in my PC a few months ago and I played some video files with it from time to time. Now it’s the moment to evaluate the program and see if I’ll keep it or if it will get uninstalled.
First of all the program supports various types of container formats such as VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg Theora, OGM, 3GP, MPEG, WMV, RealMedia or QuickTime. So you can say that it plays just about anything. It can also handle various subtitle formats, from the widespread .srt to closed captions or transport stream subtitles. And above all it has a quite low memory footprint.
The first impression that I had after looking at the interface was that it’s quite simple and clean, not clogged with too many commands, bars and menus.

But if you get deep into the program settings you’ll have quite a good time, there are countless options that you can customize to suit your needs and taste.
kmplayer screenshot 2
The feature that I liked the most was the nice control box that can be opened alongside the main video window. That’s when KMPlayer can no longer be simple, it gets very complex for the users that want to customize and play with the various video, audio or subtitle settings.
kmplayer screenshot 3
Overall this freeware program looked pretty solid, it never crashed while I used it and it is versatile indeed – you can use it as a simple video player or you can tweak your heart out through the control box or the preferences panel.

Overview
Readon TV Movie Radio Player is a freeware internet TV program that allows you to watch and listen to thousands of free online internet TV and radio stations legally and with no charge at all. There is no paid version with more features, just the free one with everything in it.
Review
Internet TV is growing fast lately, there are numerous TV stations that broadcast regularly on the internet with decent quality streams. There are also a lot of programs that can play internet TV, from JLC’s Internet TV to Veoh TV or Miro. Somebody recommended Readon TV Movie Radio Player and I decided to give it a go. First of all the name of the program is maybe the less creative name I’ve ever seen… But let’s go further. When you open the program you’ll be greeted by a splash screen that promotes a different name for the program, “Redon Player”. I guess they still didn’t decide on the right name :)

The interface is quite simple, the TV stations on the right and the video on the left. You can browse through all the available stations by country, by name or by genre. I’ve tested about two dozens of them and they all worked. Also the streams have decent quality, I’ve already added some sports channels to my favorites :)
readon tv player screenshot 2
The program can also open third party SopCast and ShoutCast streams. You can also record some of the broadcasts with the help of the VLC plugin.
readon tv player screenshot 3
Despite the not so pretty appearance Readon TV Movie Radio Player is a solid freeware internet tv program, the stations that I’ve tried all work and the video streams open quite fast. Another good thing about this freeware program is that it does not have a paid version with more features, it even allows you to open the adult channels free of charge.

Download Full Version SubRip

subrip-screenshot-1

 SubRip


Overview
SubRip is a legendary freeware program that allows you to extract the subtitles from DVD movies and save them as .srt or other file formats.


Review
As I told you before I like to make subtitles now and then for my friends and I’m using a great open source program for that, Aegisub. But when it comes to extracting the subtitles from a DVD Aegisub doesn’t help. Fortunately there is SubRip, it’s also open source and very easy to use once you get the hang of it. The program can handle DVD vob subs and you can also use it to attempt to read hardcoded subs.

After you select the proper source .ifo file you can pick the subtitles that you want to extract from the dropdown menu.
subrip-screenshot-2
Once you start the extraction process you can’t sit back and relax, you have to fill in the characters that the program shows you to make sure it recognizes each character properly. But don’t worry, you won’t have to type for hours. After you fill in the letter “u” as in the screenshot below the program will automatically recognize it from that point on.
subrip-screenshot-3
Once the extraction is over you can save the subtitle file as .srt or other file formats and that’s it, you’ re done. The program does not come with an installer, so you’ll have to create a folder for it, extract the zip archive there and just run the program.
The program was created by Brain and after he released the source code it was developed by a few other nice people.

FL STUDIO 10.0.9 Producer Edition

Quote: Select all
FL Studio is a powerful software solution that allows the creation of songs and loops using professional tools such as state of the art mixers, equalizers, integrated instruments and more.

Although it’s such powerful software, it’s kind of easy to install Fruity Loops. It takes a while, that’s true, but only because it has to copy a lot of instruments and samples to allow you benefit the most from the advanced functions bundled into the app.

There’s one thing to be mentioned, though. While installing Fruity Loops you will also be asked to install some additional components which aren’t need by the software to work properly. Softpedia marked the application as ad-supported, so take your time when installing it in case you don’t want some unnecessary tools.

Everything should work like a breeze though, as during our test we needed just a minute or two before all files have been successfully copied on the computer.

In case you’re not a power user and you’ve never used Fruity Loops or other program like that before, your first date with FL Studio will be a nightmare.

Always running in full screen, Fruity Loops has one of the most complex interfaces we’ve ever seen, with a lot of things placed in the left side of the screen, while the right side is exclusively used for mixing the tune. Don’t worry though, there are a lot of tutorials on the Internet, plus the Help section of the app which should lend you a hand if you’re still in trouble when it comes to creating music.

Fruity Loops has a lot of options and configuration settings, but we’d recommend you to change them only if you’re a pro or in case your app doesn’t work the way it should. You can also add new plugins for even greater functionality, although the software comes with almost everything you’ll need to do your first steps as a beginner, such as instruments, mixers, special effects, filters and many, many other tools.

FL Studio is quite light on computer resources, but you’ll still need a fast machine to be able to do more things at the same time and edit your tracks instantly without being bothered by huge loading times. Plus, you’ll need significant storage space to save the created tunes, as well as the additional samples and instruments that you may download from the Internet.

The conclusion is pretty simple: you will need this app if you really want to be a DJ. You will have to pay a reasonable fee, but you should consider it the first, and probably the most affordable, investment in your career as an international artist.


Here are some key features of "FL Studio":

· Internal 32 bit floating point mixing, up to 96kHz stereo.
· Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound cards for audio output.
· Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire client.
· Ability to host ReWire clients itself.
· Realtime linear interpolation & sophisticated interpolation algorithms at rendering time.
· Open architecture allowing third-party instruments (enhanced proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi and DXi2) and effects (enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST, VST2 and DirectX).
· A full set of high-precision mastering and special effects filters: reverb, compressor, procedural equalizer, distortion, phaser, flanger, bass boost, delay line and other.
· Advanced sequencing methods allowing quick entering of realistic drum loops (step sequencing grid) and composing complex instrumentals (advanced piano roll, arpeggiator, keyboard tracking, real-time gate).
· Unique note properties morphing ability (pitch, cutoff, resonance, panning).
· Advanced mixer: 68 mixer tracks (64 insert and 4 send tracks) supporting up to 8 filters each; mixer tracks rerouting for creating of complex mixer chains; track recording with ASIO input support (for recording MIDI, vocals etc.); integrated procedural equalizer, volume and panning for each mixer track.
· Integrated instruments: Sampler, TS404 (the popular bassline engine), 3xOSC (subsynth), Plucked! (plucked strings), MIDI Out, DX10 (FM synth), Scratcher (turntable emulator), WaveTraveller (wave bend synth), Wasp (demo), SimSynth Live (demo), and more.
· Advanced playlist & full-featured audio tracks.
· Live recording of control movements & integrated automation events editor.
· Easy MIDI remote controlling of most parameters (VST plugins supported as well).
· Procedural control over parameters by using special controller plugins.
· Click removal & volume ramping to avoid pops.
· Imports *.WAV, *.SYN (SimSynth 1 & 2), *.DS (DrumSynth) files, with effects applied.
· Imports MIDI sequences and controller events.
· Exports audio to 16Bit or 32Bit *.WAV file, *.MP3.
· Can export MIDI notes & controller events to a standard MIDI file.

Requirements:


· 2Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium 3 compatible CPU with full SSE1 support. The faster your CPU and more cores it has the more you will be able to do simultaneously
· 1 Gb or more RAM recommended
· 1 Gb free disk space
· Soundcard with DirectSound drivers. ASIO/ASIO2 compatible required for audio recording (FL Studio installs with generic ASIO4ALL drivers)

Additions:
· Env editor: envelope loops don't need a sustain point anymore.
· Smooth point modes now in all plugins.
· New "Song start" marker type.
· DirectWave: Import and export FL Mobile .instr files
· FPC: Export FL Mobile .instr files

 SMPlayer


Overview
SMPlayer is a free, open source, media player able to play almost any video file format. It also has a portable version and a Linux version.
Review
My favorite video player was so far GOM Player, a solid freeware program able to play many file formats. Now I decided to give SMPlayer a try, mainly because it’s open source and you already know that I have a particular weak spot for open source programs because I really believe that they represent the future of computer programs. Anyway, overall I am satisfied with GOM Player although I hoped that the new versions would bring some more features.
SMPlayer is based on MPlayer, maybe the best video playing engine out there. The people that made SMPlayer tried to add more features to this solid base and after a first look I can say that they did quite a good job. The GUI (graphic user interface) is very well designed, you have access to selecting subtitles and audio tracks right from the main toolbar. Overall the interface has no flaws, all the important commands are right there.

If you need access to the more advanced features you can either right click on the video or go through the menus in the top toolbar.

An interesting feature is that you can search for subtitles on opensubtitles.org right from the program.

The most interesting feature of SMPlayer is that it remembers your settings. If you play a movie and you have to leave and shut down the computer, when you come back and play that file it will play with the previous settings, from audio track and subtitles to the audio volume.
SMPlayer will play a wide range of video files, from DVD files on your hard disk to flash video or avi. Here are a few more features for your consideration:
- Configurable subtitles. You can choose font and size, and even colors for the subtitles.
- Audio track switching. You can choose the audio track you want to listen. Works with avi and mkv. And of course with DVDs.
- Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
- Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of the video image.
- Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X, 4X… and even in slow motion.
- Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise… and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
- Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles.
- Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or video & audio codecs.
- Playlist. Allows you to enqueue several files to be played one after each other. Autorepeat and shuffle supported too.
- Preferences dialog. You can easily configure every option of SMPlayer by using a nice preferences dialog.
The one that I like the most is the seeking by mouse wheel, it’s so easy and it works so well… If GOM Player would have added such a feature I might never have tried another program…

 Avidemux 2.4


Overview
Avidemux is an open source video editing program that can handle many file types, fom avi and mpeg to flv.


Review
I have been using VirtualDub for basic video editing jobs for years, a very reliable program. I was quite disappointed however by the lack of progress in the program development, so when one of my readers, Evan, told me that he found Avidemux very good I decided to test it. Evan said sometinkg like this:
You can edit .FLV directly, and tons of other formats too, even Windows Media Center recordings (DVRMS files). You can slice and dice video, change the audio, change the delay of audio in a video, and append video to video. Honestly, I couldn’t live without it, and it is updated constantly. Very easy and intuitive to use, there is NO learning curve even for a video newbie such as myself.

I’m not that sure that video newbies can learn to use Avidemux immediately, but I believe the process could be quite easy. Avidemux is not very complicated to use for basic tasks like cutting pieces out of a video file. And if you get lost you can always get support in the forums.

The stong point of the program is the input and output formats that it supports, quite enough for any computer user. As input formats it supports even Mpeg Transport Stream files (.ts), Matroska, ASF or QuickTime files along with the obvious support for avi files. The output formats can also vary from avi or flv to Mp4 or Mpeg.

You can also apply various filters to your video, like color filters or deinterlace filters, mux or demux subtitles, append video. Solid open source program overall, one of the great ones.
