Ahh you mean this issue: http://roundup.libav.org/issue1214
Well, I don't see any additional credits for the libraries being used.
If you think it should be removed from my list, then by all means let me know. Because I see no change since 2009. What a bummer.
Up to you, not my call. I just remembered something about it like that. I've used it myself in the past but have moved on to newer stuff currently being developed.
Anyone try this?

DiskLED
Nice little tool that monitors harddisk activity. And when the computer accesses the harddisk then the DiskLed system tray icon lights up. When my laptop (Win 7) goes through the start up procedure (e.g. MS Security Essentials) then for the first 1 or 2 (3 ??) minutes this system tray icon constantly lights up revealing constant disk access/heavy disk usage.
When the icon no longer constantly is lit then I know that my computer is completely at my disposal and will start to respond (almost) instantly to mouseclicks.

For the time being, this is the best and - above all - simplest diskmonitoring tool I came across.
That's neat- but don't laptops already have a physical LED built in for this?
Yes, but that light is located on the side of my laptop and therefore it isn't visible when I use my computer.
I've seen laptops that do not have HDD indicators.

Well that doesn't seem helpful at all.
Unrelated: I've been enjoying this freebie: http://pnggauntlet.com/ "PNGGauntlet"
It recompresses JPG, GIF, etc as PNG if the conversion will make the file smaller, and it recompresses PNG files to make them smaller. I've seen compressions as high as 14% the original size, but it seems average around 70-80% original size.
A note though: If it compresses a non-PNG into a PNG, it leaves the original file

And just as I scoffed at this I get my new laptop and Lo'n'Behold I has no HDD lite at all (instead two led tell me the thing is turned on (Toshiba Qosmio)
You have no idea how much I HATE that! Is the industry so into cost cutting they can't afford to install a USD $0.024 LED to indicate your disk is conducting data transfer operations operations? Years ago, around 2000 I discovered these drive LED indicators. More specifically one from O & O software. It was freeware at the time and consumed about 1MB diskspace. I thought it more of a curiosity than anything practical. So put it on a zip disk and forgot about it. 12 years later I found use for it.
In retrospect I'm glad I picked it up then, for now it's a bloated oversized utility that does other things besides simulating a disk LED. It does some sort of monitoring. It's swelled and gassed its way to 30MB! And they charge $$$ for it too. The filename of my old freeware version is "oodled_1_0_74_english_win_xp.zip", if anyone thinks they can locate it on the web.. Go for it! I've seen a few other freeware things around, but they do other things too. Perhaps, though, they're not as bad. If anyone sees just an indicator and (NOTHING ELSE) - I'd like to hear about it.

You will have to get one of the little progs that monitor HD activity which sits in your sys tray.
All machines should have HD activity indicators... it's such a basic need really.
I have one on my computer case, but im not sure about on my laptop.

I haven't even bothered to plug my LEDs in my case/motherboard.
AudioTester
Supports: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista
License: Freeware
Download Website: http://www.vuplayer.com/other.php
AudioTester can scan for errors in encoded audio files:
FLAC (.flac), MP3 (.mp3), Ogg Vorbis (.ogg), Monkey's Audio (.ape), WavPack (.wv)
My Comments:
* It's a nifty tool to quickly scan the audio file types it supports for any errors.
* Create a user profile "SendTo" shortcut pointing to it and then you'll have instant right-click support for using it on single individual files, or scanning whole folders recursively.

This allows you to re-arrange (and group) the taskbar items on a temporary basis. The program can be installed to autostart, or be run as portable version.
Not windows 7!? This is an outrage!
I think I used something similar to that once when I used XP
