I have used this program to convert many video files to *.mkv files for my home entertainment center. It will also convert files for Apple iPods, etc. -- Frank Hahn
From: Frank Hahn on 18 Sep 2009 23:23 (1) PROGRAM NAME: IZArc (2) LINK: http://www.izarc.org/ (3) DESCRIPTION: From web site: "Freeware archive utility supporting many archive formats like: 7-ZIP, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BIN, BZ2, BZA, C2D, CAB, CDI, CPIO, DEB, ENC, GCA, GZ, GZA, HA, IMG, ISO, JAR, LHA, LIB, LZH, MDF, MBF, MIM, NRG, PAK, PDI, PK3, RAR, RPM, TAR, TAZ, TBZ, TGZ, TZ, UUE, WAR, XXE, YZ1, Z, ZIP, ZOO. With a modern easy-to-use interface, IZArc provides support for most compressed and encoded files, as well as access to many powerful features and tools. It allows you to drag and drop files from and to Windows Explorer, create and extract archives directly in Windows Explorer, create multiple archives spanning disks, creating self- extracting archives, repair damaged zip archives, converting from one archive type to another, view and write comments and many more. IZArc has also build-in multilanguage support. With IZArc you can open CD image files like ISO, BIN, CDI and NRG. It is also possible to convert such files from one type to another (BIN to ISO, NRG to ISO)." Personally, I like this program better than Winzip (commercial archiving program). There is also a portable version that I keep on my USB drive. -- Frank Hahn

I have not seen any development of this program for some time but I have found no other program to download podcasts. I use it to download several NPR (National Public Radio) shows that I copy to my mp3 player. -- Frank Hahn

(1) PROGRAM NAME: Karen's Replicator (2) LINK: http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp (3) DESCRIPTION: From web site: "Automatically backup files, directories, even entire drives! Karen's Replicator copies selected files from one drive/folder to another. Source and Destination folders can reside anywhere on your network. Options include repeated copies at intervals as short as a few minutes, or as long as several months, copy only files that have changed, and the replication of folder and file deletions." For me, this is one of those programs that gets automatically gets installed on any new system or rebuild that I do for myself. Maybe not as flashy as some other programs but seems to work for what I need which is mainly backing up certain data directories. -- Frank Hahn |
