There are notable video players free for download but most of them are almost the same in terms of playback quality. Some even provide support for new video formats as these video formats promise better video quality with less storage requirement. Other video players provide unique interface that caters to users that have unique needs or just wants to have something different.

One of those unique video players is the MVS Player. At first glance, the MVS Player is a very simple looking application. It has a simple bar interface like most video players. But what makes it different is its capacity to play most video formats fast. By their measurement, the application is set to load a file with 1.5G in size in only 15ms (milliseconds) other video players would probably take more than five seconds before the player starts with the video.

Aside from its remarkable speed, MVS Player has the capacity to play 12 videos at the same time. It has an interface wherein you can assign a video to a slot. You can also resize these videos and even transfer the video to different panel.

But there are also downsides to the application. MVS Player, in terms of codec support, is only for regular video formats. The player only has codec support for DivX, MPEG, AVI, WMV and XviD. That also means it’s only a stand alone video player. Most free video players have the capacity to load most audio formats. However, its feature of playing 12 videos at the same time makes this a worthy download.

Everyone wants to go back to the good old days of computer gaming once in a while. Fortunately, there applications that could be downloaded for free that could imitate the functionality of old school consoles. If you’re looking for this type of application (called emulators), consider downloading the free application called ZSNes.

In gist, ZSnes is an emulator for SNES (Super Nes). This means you can play almost any game of SNES in this form of application. Although there are other SNES emulators online that are also free for download, not all of them have the capability of supporting a good number of games compared to ZSnes. Installation is very easy – all you need to do is to unzip the file and click on icon. You can create a shortcut and paste it in your desktop for easier access.

The tricky part of ZSnes is on loading games. Emulators do not have any games installed but it will require you to download ROM. These are the games that you need to download and launch in the application. Look for the application with a filename ending in “.smc” to ensure the emulator will read them. Because of the frequent update of ZSnes there is a great possibility that the game will run without any problem. But you can’t point and click on the file, you have to search for the file in the interface of ZSnes which requires a little practice to master.

ZSnes also requires the latest version of DirectX to ensure that the games expected to work will load flawlessly.

Real time information sharing has practically removed the need of traveling from one city to another. Although business for some companies is good, companies have to make sure they are not spending too much in traveling without any return expected. This is especially true when you are a salesman and the success rate of the transaction is not yet assured. Traveling from one place to another without the assurance of earnings is not a smart business idea.

Instead of traveling from place to another, you can still make presentations online with real time interaction through Mikogo application.

The viewer can practically be anywhere because the presentation will be based online. As long as the presenter and viewer have a decent DSL connection, the presentation will go through smoothly.

What’s impressive is the addition of the “whiteboard” functionality wherein everyone could collaborate on a frame. Everyone could provide an input on a project or a proposal in real time. Viewers could also become the presenters because of the added functionality of allowing other viewers to take control of the desktop.

Mikogo is also a partner to a very popular VOIP Client Skype. Users could integrate Mikogo to their Skype application so that aside from sharing desktop, they could also be on a conference call. Although there is a limitation to the number of users for Mikogo, 10 users is more than enough for a great presentation.

If you’re online for most part of the day, chances are you have membership in different websites that cater to your professional work as well as personal preferences. Although these websites could help you with what you need in an instant, they will always require a username and password to get through. Although these are implemented for security measures, remembering all those username and passwords always spell trouble. Most secured websites will not accept simple passwords like others do so you are forced to remember a good number of passwords.

If you’re having trouble remembering user name and passwords, let Easy Login Assist help you. This application could become your database for your username and passwords. Enter the URL of the website in the application’s interface as well as the username and the password so that the next time you visit the website, the application will automatically fill-out the username and password link.

Although this type of applications is very handy, users are usually hesitant to use the application for security reasons. Some applications are just malware who will just gather the username and password. Easy Login Assist assures security to its users by doubling the encryption – the encryption will be implemented within the application itself and will use the encryption provided by the hard drive or the USB if the application is stored to a Flash Drive.

The difficulty of Easy Login Assist rests on the complexity of the interface. It will take more than a few uses before the user could become familiar with the processes of the application.

The browser named Chrome maybe a new browser in the industry. But even with its relatively new experience in the industry, the browser was immediately acknowledged as one of the major browsers in the world. The browser after all was developed by internet giant Google. Since one of the browsers ability is to optimize Google-related functions, users who have been using Google’s services never hesitated to download and use the browser. Boosting the popularity of the browser is the almost open source licensing of the browser. The source code of Chrome browser is available for download and could be built upon so that developers could build variation of the browser.

Sure enough, an open source browser came out based on Chrome. Aptly named Chromium, this browser was developed specifically for those who wanted to have the best of Google’s browser with no strings attached. Chromium has all the basic features of Chrome browser – the highly regarded Omnibar which eases navigation and the smart task manager in Chromium is also found in this browser. But what made this browser different from its popular version is the lack of “strings” in using the browser. Chrome will constantly monitor the user’s internet activity and Chrome will constantly connect to Google for updates which could easily drag your computer.

Of course, there is a downside of least recognized browsers. Chromium might not automatically connect to Google for updates because it cannot be updated. There is also the security risk in using the browser since there are no updates. But overall, Chromium is a decent browser that could provide basic browser functions while optimizing Google related services.

There are many audio rippers in the market and most of them are free to use. However, most of this type of application has the same functions on Windows Media Player. That means you don’t have to download additional application just to rip the music from your Audio CD. Some of the rippers might even pose some security risks because unknown rippers might have some spyware or malware.

But Express Rip is a different software for audio ripping. It has the basic functions in ripping music from audio CD. But what makes it different is the output and additional information added for the extracted audio files. The files could either be extracted as Mp3 file or .WAV. Although both formats are friendly to most Mp3 players, .WAV format is highly advisable for audio editing. Information about the album could also be extracted online especially the album cover for easier identification. The data that comes with the audio is also ripped. Additional functions such as control over encoding and audio bitrate is available in Express Rip.

A “Plus” version of the software is also available for an additional fee. With the upgraded version, more audio formats could be extracted. AAC and M4A are only some of the formats that could be extracted through Express Rip Plus.

One of the many reasons why a person purchases a computer is to enjoy playing games on it. Although there are business reasons for purchasing a computer, some see the addition of games in their computers as essential since games will make them relax or just have fun.

But games have a dark side. The graphics and the processes related to launch a game could easily slow down the computer. Most of the games today require powerful processors or else they might not run after all. Oftentimes, running a game while having other programs running is not recommended since running a game needs most of the processing power. If you are currently running an application, you have to close down the application before you can switch to a game.

This is where the application named GameMode would come handy. In using the application, users will no longer need to close down different running programs before they can play their resource intensive game. The application will save the state of the running application and closing them so that no other resources will be used. Other non-essential background application will also be suspended when the user switches to game mode. With the GameMode on, you can use the maximum resources in your gadget.

The basic limitation of this application is based on the fact that it will be making some changes on your running application. It will also require .Net framework before it could be launched which will also eat up resources for your game.

sFont is one of the few applications made for very specific users. This application is geared towards users who have too many fonts to choose. There are thousands of fonts that could be downloaded for free online and they could be easily integrated in document creation and editing applications. Using the regular document editing application in choosing the right font could be time consuming. It will even take more time if fonts are selected in complicated page creating application which requires actual knowledge of the font.

But that concern could be easily addressed by sFont. In gist, this application automatically lists down all fonts in your local gadget. Once every font in your gadget is loaded in sFont, you can view the fonts on the application – taking note of the ones that you would be using in your actual application. The fonts will be displayed in alphabetical order and the fonts will be demonstrated through alphabet and letters.

The good thing about sFont is that you should have the ability to run the application while working on your regular document. The application will not require a lot of resources so it should be good to run in the background.

But the software is too specific to be recommended to everyone. If you don’t have hundreds of fonts installed in your computer, it’s better to stick to your regular document editor. On the other hand, this software is highly useful for individuals who wanted to have all the possible options in making their document look good or unique.

Good audio editing applications are a little bit rare nowadays considering the quality of downloaded music today. The availability of Audacity (a powerful open source audio editing tool) has also made other free tools almost useless.

But if you’re looking for a good alternative to Audacity, consider the application called Free Audio Editor. The name sounds a like a cliché for an application but the name of the application does tell you what it could do. Free audio editor could modify sounds in different audio formats (WMA, OGG, WAV and MP3) with a slew of tools such as noise cancellation and sound compression.

What makes this tool entirely different compared to other sound editing tools is in its simplicity. Instead of complicating things with multi-track tools, loading different types of sounds and editing them is very easy through one track editing. This may also be the bad part of the application since you can’t mix different sounds with different tracks. But then again, you can just cut and paste sounds and mix them according to your need.

The Free Audio Editor on the other hand, has a catch. Although the application is free, exporting the sound that you have just mixed is only limited to WAV format. If you want to expand to MP3 or OGG, you have to shell out $30 for the “Deluxe Edition.” But you don’t have to push yourself to the extra dollars. There are free applications online that have the ability to convert files from WAV to any audio format you prefer.
