A collection of codec packs and direct show filters that gets your work done and satisfactorily too. This software contains all you ever need when it comes to playing both audio and video files. The flexibility is also worthy of mention, I mean it is so flexible that even an amateur would find it easy to install and use. Best of it is that you can use K-Lite Codec Pack Full 5.2.7 Beta for encoding.

Imagine a software where all you have to do is run on your system and saving you the stress of having to configure it. It is delightful software for the newbie or amateur, a sit back and watch application for the pro and what else can I add but to say that for a software still in its Beta stage, a good job by the publishers.

Compatibility with my Windows 7 is no problem at all because it works just as fine and didn’t give me any problem. Some few changes have also been made to this version which makes it better than older versions. The speaker configuration setting has been moved to another page in the installer, file association options have been added and the media player classic has been updated to version 1.3.1301.0.

MP3TAG 2.44E BETA is a software for you even though it is still in Beat stage. It enables you to Tag your information and gather proper Tag information for your selected files and CD’s.

In this version, some of the noticeable changes from the older versions are: Empty fields are no longer from web source like it was in the Tag source, multiple values of fields in the Tag panel is now now included in the drop down menu list among other changes. Though the changes could have been more, there is no doubt that this software is a fine one and it just keeps improving as the years go bye.

MP3TAG 2.44E BETA, still stand out as one of the most useful software in its category but the publishers still need to do some more work though, especially in the tag import because issues that relates to bug still there. I believe that as time goes on, more work will be done to improve on it.

Everyone knows Mozilla Firefox but not everyone understand that it is the most secured browser out there that gives you online rest of mind and various ad-ons that makes your browsing experience memorable once you start using it. Now they have an updated version that is just as lovely as previous versions.

Mozilla has redesigned their browser components to give you a richer and more interesting way to surf the net. This version comes with a pop-up blocker, smarter search to make your search easier, improved privacy and stress free downloading over the internet. Version 3.0.15 for windows gives you all these and more.

Sincerely, one may one to disagree with the publishers on why an update is needed but the truth is that Mozilla Firefox has since its first release continued to maintain a tradition of always sending new updates to its users probably because it wants to stay ahead of other browsers or prove that it is always working tirelessly to attend to the needs of its numerous users as the years roll bye and as technology continue to improve.

I noticed that the time outs noticed in version 3.6 still exist especially when trying to visit highly secured sites like banks and secured sites.

An open source project, Openoffice.org for windows 3.2 Beta is a standard office suite that runs superbly on most major platforms and gives access to all features and datas through component based APIs and XML based file formats.

This software does a lot of things for you. From reading and making Microsoft word (official) to Excel and power point files, the new openoffice.org for windows 3.2 Beta is a delight. I tried it on most file formats like pptx and xlsx and the results were just great.

Though office 7 works just as well, the fact that openoffice.org for windows is still in Beta state makes it software to watch as it has the potential to becoming one of the best software in its category.

The interface is something I think the publishers could further improve upon, I believe they could do much better in this area than they have already done. Also, the size seem to make it a lot slower and thereby making my system to run slower than before installation.

Kaspersky over the years has been known for many for its high effectiveness when it comes to online prevention and elimination of viruses, even the toughest ones. This version like previous ones combines both the reactive antivirus and spyware detection methods, but this time around, it is more proactive.

With Kaspersky Anti-Virus 9.0.0.736, you are covered against malicious programs such as malware, Trojans, worms and many other online attacks even to the very latest of them. It has a name that is synonymous with high rate effectiveness when it comes to working or going online.

Installation is simple and set up even much simpler, this product version gives the user a wide range of advanced settings which enables the user to take control of fine-tuning the program and defining what is and what should not when it comes to usage.

On the other hand, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 9.0.0.736 is a bit too heavy on the system and slows down your system. Moreover, it eats up a lot of space which in turn affects computer speed because of its huge size.

A bookmark converter that does your import and export when it comes to bookmarking, what about your favorites? Transmute 1.63 works just perfectly for you. The software works well with your favorites and latest web browser like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and even Internet explorer.

One of the most noticeable changes to the latest version of Transmute bookmark converter is that it now has the potential of fixing errors especially when exporting bookmarks to Internet Explorer. Though other softwares in its category may also lay claim to the fact that they can also export bookmarks, the fact that Transmute does it with so much ease makes it a great software to rely on.

The Transmute bookmark software installs icons at the start menu as well as the desktop which is a little bit annoying because the publishers could have given the users the option of defining what they want and not just add it. This gives the software control over the root of the users’ start menu and that to me is a bit offensive.

Looking for software that can supply all your technical information as well as your video and audio files? Look no further as the one will blow your mind. It provides you general information for all your multimedia files such as: giving it a title; directing and numbering your tracks.

For codecs, aspects and bit rates, this software provides valuable information about them all and even much more. The other good part of this is that you can also export all your texts and HTML.

Mediainfo 0.7.23 lacks a lot of things that would have made it a one-stop software in its category. Take configuration for example, it simply does not just exist in this version. Rather than having the export feature moving files to the programs home directory, it could rather be directed to the media directory.

The interface can also be improved upon, but that is not to take anything away from this software, it is a good software on the whole.
