Subject: [Puters_N_Such] RE: [the_bullhorn2] On GOTD programs
Actually, there's a lot more there than that (if you check every day):
Yes, there are a lot of multimedia conversion programs (I use them b/c no
single program seems to have all the features that I need). For example,
only one of them allows you to take input files of different types and merge
them into 1 big file of any type you chose. This is wonderful for combining
a film that was on CD1 and CD2 into one big file to then convert to a
standard DVD movie.
Any disc utility from Paragon is a "keeper"
And much of the so-called front-ends add a lot of functionality (like
Zentimo, which SHOULD have been put into the OS -- it gives you a lot more
information about what you have hooked up via USB and it can force a device
to shut down when Windows remove device would have long given up.
They have a lot of music programs (programs to remove iTunes copyprotection,
programs to catalog your music collection, programs to convert from format x
(e.g., ogg) to format y (mp3). Programs to allow you to find exact
duplicates of files by doing a bit-by-bit comparison, even if the file name
was changed.
They've also had a whole lot of really nice system utility programs that do
better jobs than their Windows equivalents or those utilities don't exist in
Windows(WinUtilities Pro, ICare Data Recovery). I was able to use one of
these programs (that I got from GOTD) to recover all or virtually all of my
celebs after my MBR bit the dust. It took days of running and purchasing a
second drive to place the files on, but it was better than losing 20 years
worth of work.)
The only way to really get a flavor is to subscribe to the email list and
look at what they have over, say, a three month period.
Your friend,
Larry

Seems to me that most of the GOTD offers are either
multimedia conversion prog's or 'front-end' gui's for
utilities that are built right into the OS, so I don't go
there much anymore.
Thanks for the heads=up!
