[What installer do all Piriform software use?]

Probably Nullsoft.

[Freeware!]

GOM is a FREE media player with popular audio & video codecs built-in.

 

 

GOM Player Features

 

Codec Finder

GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263 and more) so you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one and direct you to a place where you can download open source version of the codec. That way, you won't get stuck with unnecessary codecs on your system.

 

 

Play Broken AVI Files (Patented)

AVI files can't be played if the index is broken, or the file isn't completely downloaded. This is because index is located at the end of the file. GOM Player's patented technology enables users to view files with broken index or that are still being downloaded.

 

 

Powerful Subtitle Support

GOM Player supports SMI, SRT, RT, SUB(with IDX) files for subtitle. You can specify margin, location, size, resolution, font and others. You can also enable shadow, view ASF files with subtitle, karaoke subtitle mode. You can even synchronize subtitle and video if there's any mismatch.

 

 

Convenient Playlist

GOM Player supports playlist formats such as M3U, PLS, ASX. You can include different media types on a playlist. Also, it also lets you edit playlists for different media types. It's easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist with GOM Player.

 

 

Support Different Media Types

Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX). You can also watch DVD-quality videos with 5.1 channel audio output.

[Ubuntu]

I tried it, I thought it was slow and too confusing.

Too complicated for the average user to install and use.

 

Has problems with ATI cards, I didn't figure out how install the ATI driver, having to go into that command line thing, xserver.

What the heck is a "terminal?"

 

We shouldn't have to learn command-line terminal things.

 

I think Linux is 10 years behind in terms of desktop use.

 

What is their target audience? If they want Ubuntu to be a Windows alternative, they're far off.

[Audo Converter, Ripper]

What do you recommend?

[Snow sucks!]

Was really windy & cold in cali...

[Backing up to partition?]

Is this safe?

[Stop Using These 10 Most Common Passwords]

"123456" is actually the most popular..

[good file deleter?]

Does anyone know of a file deleter that can delete pretty much anything?

 

Encrypt/Secure Rewrite thing so it can't be recovered isn't important.

 

Just delete files that can't be deleted by right clicking and delete

 

I.E. Files from P2P applications w/ file names longer than 255 characters (Windows can't delete those for some reason)

 

Stuff like delete on boot, delete by short name, etc..

The only usable feature for me was freezing and crashing.
