Useful Freeware Utilities

Just had a quick play with it, nice player, but unfortunately it does not appear to do 5:1 audio, as VLC Media Player does, so I think I will just stick with VLC for the time being...if you don't use 5:1 audio with your DVDs, then certainly worth installing I think.

I use my headphones into my hearing aids so I could give it a go.

I think this is similar to something we've already got on the list but I can't find this particular one so I'm fairly sure its a seperate product.

Looks pretty good. Might actually give it a go!

Now this is what I call a very useful thread...will be subscribing to this thread from now on. Speaking of freeware, do any of you know of a pdf creator and editor freeware? I have Nitropdf but it will expire in 10 days. Thanks!

Hi tsetsefly. Do you want an all-in-one solution? If you don't mind about that I'd recommend CutePDF for creating PDFs. Just 'print' stuff from whatever program. As for editing them, you'll have to wait for jbloggs to turn up.
