Power Ripper v1.16 does finally it what some of us have been waiting for a looong time - rips any DVD stream into MPEG1 or AVI stream. For MPEG1 or MPEG2 packing you need DVMPEG software installed in your computer, but AVI ripping works nicely with only this babe installed on your hdd.
Go to software area and download it!
IBM started to ship their brand new solution for PDAs, HDD with 340MB storage capacity in ONE inch small chip, called as MicroDrive!
This beauty fits into any CompactFlash card slot, which means most of the WinCe machines and digital cameras.
My dream solution would be to get Cassiopeia E-105 with IBM MicroDrive 340MB HDD as my mp3 player.
Just added WinDAC v1.49 to our software archive. This new version includes following features & bugfixes:

Changed: The length of the last audio track of an CD-Extra CD is corrected
Changed: Improved detection of the available reading speeds
Changed: With the stop Button the CD will no longer spin down immediatly

The much argued Divx format is now officially burried. Digital Video Express, LP announced today that it will cease marketing of Divx home video system and discontinue operations. According to Digital Video Express and Circuit City the main reason behind the decision was the lack of supports from studios and other retailers. Circuit City Stores, Inc. is incurring an after-tax loss of $114.0 million related to the disposal of the Divx business.
Digital Video Express will provide a $100 cash rebate to all consumers who have purchased Divx players prior to June 16, 1999. This rebate is due to the fact that Divx players have been more expensive than comparable DVD players.
Check out the press release from Digital Video Express, LP.
Paramount has confirmed that the most highly anticipated DVD release ever, Titanic, will not be in 16x9 enhanced (aka. anamorphic) format. The reasons behind this decision are unknown, but my two cents are, that they are planning on releasing a special edition sometime later.
Make sure to check out the press release, too!
