I have been using various free CD & DVD burning softwares, but somehow yearned for more familiar and convenient interface just like NERO . And when I found out about this software, I knew that this was the one that I’ve been looking for a long time.
Ashampoo Burning Studio Free 6.61 is Free CD / DVD / Blu-ray Disc burning software. This is a free version according to Download.com (shown below image) but I was not able to find this product on Ashampoo.com website.
You can
Burn files into CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc
Backup files into mutiple CD, DVD, and Blu-ray
Burn music CD from music files such as mp3
Burn DVD , VCD, and SVCD movies
Copy disks
Create or burn disc from image file
Wow, that’s more than what I needed and with the familiar friendly easy-to-use screens!
My search for the free CD/DVD burning software has finally ended.
At work, I have to write many emails and record work history. But frequently I forget the day’s date and have to move mouse over the task bar clock and wait for the tooltip to appear with the date or double click to access default windows calendar when I get impatient with the tooltip.
But here is my little freeware solution that helps me a lot! Now I know the date by just looking at the task bar clock. No more mouse hovering is needed!
Here is the original task bar clock
And this is the task bar after TClock was turned on with custom date & time format string.
Of course you can set the font type and size. In fact TClock has more functions that you can play with (Alarm clock and addtional options that can change Taskbar’s look) Below is the properties dialog screen shot.
Just unzip the downloaded file to a folder and drag the executable to your startup folder. So whenever the computer boots , TClock would show you the date information.
I have been reading lots of blog articles lately from various GTD (Get things done) and DIY (Do it yourself) websites. I found some of them actually useful for me.
Lifehacker.com is one of the popular GTD/DIY website with the frequent introductions on the nice freeware softwares.
DVD Rip is in fact an AutoHotKey script compiled program by Lifehacker. It can be run without any setup but needs ‘DVD Shrink’ installed prior the execution since it is just a script program that automates the DVD copying process. DVD Shrink is a free software that is able to decrypt and copy most DVD’s.
I have tried and found it very easy and convenient. I think it’s the most convenient FREE DVD copying software. Please visit lifehacker.com for more details.
I usually don’t watch TV or Movies using Internet since I used to think that the streaming Video quality is just not good enough for me staring at the screen.That’s why I don’t usually watch video from the Youtube.
But check out these sites! I just watched several episodes of Heroes from ABC constantly for several hours!
