  1. Review - VideoInspector

    0.8.0.35 (Feb 10, 2004)

    It's allright, does what it claims to do. However I find GSpot from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ much better and more useful.

  2. Review - BitSpirit

    1.2.0 Final (Jan 16, 2004)

    IMHO BitSpirit is the best BitTorrent client for what is one of the worse file sharing networks. The things I like in BitSpirit are the ability to control how much of your bandwidth is used and manage multiple downloads. This helps killing your internet connection. However I have one big gripe with it: anything more than a couple of active torrents kills your machine with phenomenal memory usage and extremely slow network access (even through a LAN).

  3. Review - SmartFTP (x86)

    1.0 Build 980.3 Beta (Jan 14, 2004)

    This is NOT FREEWARE !!! It used to be, but a few months ago the author introduced a nag that pops up quite often to remind you to buy it if you use in a corporate environment. Granted the software is fully functional and has no time limit, but this nag is enough for me to stop using it. At least there should be a way to disable it for home users.

  4. Review - Koepi's XviD Codec

    1.0 Beta 3 Build 26122003 (Jan 2, 2004)

    If your file render upside down you need to go into the codec properties and change to color space to YUY2 or YV12. This only happens with RGB which I think is the default.

  5. Review - Zoom Player PRO

    3.30 Final (Jan 2, 2004)

    I must admit I get caught up in the enthusiasm surrounding this player everytime there is a new release, and try it. Everytime I am dissapointed: way too complicated, does not work in the video overlay. Other players do a better job and are much simpler. I will stick to Media Player Classic and Crystal Player.
