Its a GUI of mkisofs. No need of installation, really small exe." This utility has come in handy to create an ISO image for either burning or mounting with virtual CD/DVD software. -- Frank Hahn

It can even capture layered windows (alphablended ones under 2K / XP). You can even FTP upload your screenshots!" I like this software because it is small and portable. I carry it around on my USB drive in case I need to capture a screen shot. -- Frank Hahn

(1) PROGRAM NAME: XBMC (2) LINK: http://xbmc.org/ (3) DESCRIPTION: From the web site (slight changes by myself): "XBMC is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. XBMC is available for Linux, OSX, Windows, and the original Xbox. Currently XBMC can be used to play almost all popular audio and video formats around. It was designed for network playback, so you can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet using practically any protocol available. Use your media as-is: XBMC can play CDs and DVDs directly from the disk or image file, almost all popular archive formats from your hard drive, and even files inside ZIP and RAR archives. It will even scan all of your media and automatically create a personalized library complete with box covers, descriptions, and fanart. There are playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast feature and many audio visualizations. Once installed, your computer will become a fully functional multimedia jukebox." This software is typically installed and used on what is know as an HTPC (Home Theatre PC). I tried several different HTPC programs for both Windows and Linux and have enjoyed this software. -- Frank Hahn |
