For more information and materials, please contact: press@speedbit.com

SpeedBit Video Accelerator (www.videoaccelerator.com) is a pioneering product of unique technology that improves the viewing experience of streaming videos from YouTube and over 150 sites by eliminating buffering problems. SpeedBit are continuously developing its technology and in the near future, will be able to accelerate even more video downloads from different content providers.

Overcoming the media delivery barrier
Delivering rich media to end user's machines is turning out to be a major challenge for even the biggest media companies. High quality videos (and many times even low quality videos) tend to freeze when streamed to end users, giving a somewhat poor viewing experience. Movies and TV series tend to sometimes take several long hours to download (see Bambi Francisco's article on MarketWatch - Why Wal-Mart's Movie Service is in Beta). These performance barriers slow down the adoption of the online rich media delivery platforms, in their quest to make content easily and readily available to consumers without the need to buy/rent/ship a physical CD or DVD.

Our Solution: SpeedBit’s Patented Multi-Channel Technology
SpeedBit Video Accelerator supports videos from YouTube and over 150 sites and leverages unique and patent pending multi-connection technology to accelerate the caching of streaming videos, thus helping overcome annoying buffering problems. This product works under the hood keeping the user interface of the respective service in tact. For example when watching a MySpace video, the MySpace interface will simply show multiple leaps a head of the video caching bar, resulting in much faster completion of the caching/downloading of the streaming video.

Whenever a YouTube or other video (see full list of supported video sites) is being accelerated, a small message will show on the right bottom side of the screen indicating to the user that the acceleration is active. The main screen of the product also allows a user to make video searches straight from the desktop application – the video search is based on videos on various video sites such as www.youtube.com, www.metacafe.com etc. more sites are added every day.

Strong growth and high user interest
Within 2-3 days of the first beta release and without any marketing/promotion effort of any kind, we have witnessed an extremely strong viral growth, bringing in up to 20,000 new users per day. To date, SpeedBit has witnessed over 1 million registered Video Accelerator users in less than 49 days. This clearly reflects the ever growing need for a product that can provide the quality user experience anticipated by rich media consumers, and leaves us wondering what the growth rate will be when the product officially launches...

What’s next
Although SpeedBit Video Accelerator supports videos from YouTube and over 150 sites,the team is already working hard on adapting the product to support even more video streaming and download acceleration. The team has released SpeedBit Video Accelerator for iTunes and is already working on supporting more proprietary rich media download services similar to iTunes (Premium) such as Amazon's UnBox and Wal-Mart's video download service etc.

About SpeedBit
SpeedBit Video Accelerator comes from SpeedBit (www.speedbit.com), the creators of Download Accelerator Plus (the popular download manager with over 147 million registered users and more than 50k of new users joining everyday). SpeedBit is backed by Pitango venture capital and Yossi Vardi, the founding investor of ICQ - the pioneering instant messenger that was sold to AOL in 1998, and managed by Ariel Yarnitsky the former general manager of ICQ.

Exact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 4 - Best Free CD Ripper

2009-03-20T18:30:00.000-07:00

Exact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. The main differences between EAC and most other audio grabbers are :

* It is free (for non-commercial purposes)
* It works with a technology, which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

Features of EAC

* All kinds of CD and DVD drives are supported (including USB, Firewire, SATA and SCSI drives)
* Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)

# A secure, a fast and a burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers with jitter correction, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.
# Detection of read errors and complete losses of sync and correction in the secure mode, as far as possible
# Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and the possibility to listen to these positions
# EAC is able to copy ranges of music data, not only tracks
# Automatic speed reduction on read errors and fallback to a higher speed afterwards (depends on the used drive)
# Volume normalization of extracted audio to a given percentage
# Usage of the Windows Audio Compression manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression to e.g. MP3 waves
# Support for the LAME DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for on-the-fly MP3 compression
# Support of external MP3, WMA, flac and OggVorbis encoders for automatic compression after extraction (supports multi-processor environments)
# Batch compression to WAV files and decompression of supported encoded files to WAV
# Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression
# Detection of pre-track gaps (positions where negative track times runs towards 00:00:00)
# Detection of silence in pre-track gaps
# Automatic creation of CUE sheets for Burnnn, Feurio, Nero or even EAC, which can include all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC and also CD-Text for an exact copy
# CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges
# Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching
# Sample offsets for drives with noaccurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence
# Synchronizing between tracks for non-accurate stream drives
# Trackname editing with local/remote CD databases support and more features like ID3 tagging
# Browse and edit local database
# Certified Escient ® CDDB(TM)Compatible
# Local CDDB support
# Record and loop record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.
# Automatic renaming of MP3 files accordingto their ID3 tag
# Catalog extraction function (e.g. first 20 seconds of a track)
# Multisession (CD-Extra) support
# CD-Text support
# CD-Write support for some drives (internally and using CDRDAO)
# ID3 V1.1 tag editor with drag and drop ability from track listing and CD database browser
# Glitch removal after extraction

VirtualDub v1.8.8 - Best Free Video Editor

2009-03-20T18:02:00.000-07:00

VirtualDub features
Have you ever worked with desktop video?

Sure, you've probably played a few video clips on your monitor. But have you ever made one yourself? Used a video capture device? Wrestled with the software that comes with it? Felt like the software is a few leagues above or below your level? Time to try something else.
VirtualDub helps you get video into your computer.

If your capture device is Video for Windows compatible, then VirtualDub can capture video with it. But VirtualDub isn't your average capture program:

* Fractional frame rates. Don't settle for 29 or 30 when you want 29.97.
* Optimized disk access for more consistent hard disk usage.
* Create AVI2 (OpenDML) files to break the AVI 2GB barrier and multiple files to break the FAT32 4GB limit.
* Integrated volume meter and histogram for input level monitoring.
* Real-time downsizing, noise reduction, and field swapping.
* Verbose monitoring, including compression levels, CPU usage, and free disk space.
* Access hidden video formats your capture card may support but not have a setting for, such as 352x480.
* Keyboard and mouse shortcuts for faster operation. To capture, just hit F6.
* Clean interface layout: caption, menu bar, info panel, status bar.

VirtualDub lets you clean up video on your computer.

There are lots of programs that let you "edit" video. And yet, they're frustratingly complex for some of the simplest tasks. VirtualDub isn't an editor application; it's a pre- and post-processor that works as a valuable companion to one:

* Reads and writes AVI2 (OpenDML) and multi-segment AVI clips.
* Integrated MPEG-1 and Motion-JPEG decoders.
* Remove and replace audio tracks without touching the video.
* Extensive video filter set, including blur, sharpen, emboss, smooth, 3x3 convolution, flip, resize rotate, brightness/contrast, levels, deinterlace, and threshold.
* Bilinear and bicubic resampling -- no blocky resizes or rotates here.
* Decompress and recompress both audio and video.
* Remove segments of a video clip and save the rest, without recompressing.
* Adjust frame rate, decimate frames, and 3:2 pulldown removal.
* Preview the results, with live audio.

You can take a captured clip, trim the ends, clean up some of the noise, convert it to the proper frame size, and write out a better one. Don't see a video filter you want? Write your own, with the filter SDK.
VirtualDub is fast.

The author of VirtualDub is very impatient. That means his program is designed for speed, both in the interface and in the processing pipeline. Converting a compressed, 320x240 MPEG-1 file to an uncompressed, 24-bit AVI requires only these two steps in VirtualDub:

* Open video file (Ctrl-O).
* Save AVI (F7).

How fast is this operation? On a C450, 40 frames per second (1.3x real-time speed). With a little tweaking, the speed rises to 55 fps (1.8x), with the CPU hardly breaking a sweat at 40%.
VirtualDub is cheap.

To be exact, it costs nothing. VirtualDub is licensed under the GNU General Public License, meaning you can use it for free. No risk involved, and the whole source code is available if you want it.

KMPlayer 2.9.3.1428 Final Release - Best Free Media Player

2009-03-20T14:35:00.000-07:00

The KMPlayer is a versatile media player which can cover various types of container format such as VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg Theora, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, and QuickTime among others. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways.

The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Internal filters are not registered to user's system to keep it from being messed up with system filters.

The KMPlayer includes almost all the essential decoders required for media playback. Furthermore, to get beyond the limitation of internal decoders, the external ones such as commercial h.264 decoders or cyberlink/intervideo audio decoders can be specified, so that KMP works optimally by the users' own customization. Even though the KMP is based upon directshow structure, it supports Winamp, Realmedia and Quicktime by the internal logic. Thus, it is possible to specify where to try to connect firstly the media in preferences.

In short, the player provides a strong hybrid structure efficient for interconnecting various directshow filters, winamp input&dsp plugin, and internal filters. The most outstanding feature is that the player has the full control of filter connections to prevent a media playback from being messed.

The player can set multifarious audio and video effects, slow down or increase playback speed with regular tone, select parts of a video as favorites, do an exceptionally powerful A-B repeat, remap the keys of remote interface for HTPC including overlay screen controls, change a skin dynamically depending on a media type playing, and many more. It is completely customizable thanks to a wide selection of skins and color schemes, and the configuration options are extremely extensive.

Dive into the fantastic stage of The KMPlayer for the professionals!
You'll be definitely fascinated by the way of working through every part of its rich functions.
May the Force be with you!!!

2009-03-20T10:36:00.000-07:00

JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you find obsolete files and folders.

The tool analyses your disk drives and collects several statistics which you can view as overview charts and details tables.

This is ad-free uncrippled no-charge binary multi-platform software that never expires.

JDiskReport provides different perspectives about your disk drives: absolute and relative sizes, size distribution, distribution of modification dates, and distribution of types.

Each perspective includes a pie chart, a bar chart, and a details table. You can choose to either show the file size or the number of files. Also, JDiskReport collects a list of 100 largest, oldest, and newest files.

Size Perspective
The size perspective shows you how much space the files and folders consume on your disk drives. The size pie chart is probably the best to find monster files and folders. You can switch to the table view and toggle the display of files to get more detailed information about a folder.

Size Distribution
The size distribution views help you to learn more about the different file sizes that exists on your hard disks. Look at these views to check whether the size distribution is what you expected it to be.

If you are in 'Show file size' mode, you can see how much space is consumed by large, medium sized, and small files. In 'Show number of files' mode, you see how many files are large, of medium size, and small.

Modified Distribution
The modification distribution views provide you with information about when how much space and how many files have been modified.

Type Distribution
The type distribution statistics are collected from the file extensions that exist on the analysed file tree. You can see which file type consumes space and how many files of a given file type you have.

Top 100 Lists
These tables show the list of 100 largest files, least recently modified files, and most recently files. This is a good place to find large and obsolete files.

TCP Optimizer version: 2.0.3 - Free TCP Settings Tweaker

2009-03-20T10:25:00.000-07:00

The TCP Optimizer is a program designed to provide an easy, intuitive interface for tuning TCP and IP related parameters in the Windows Registry. It takes into account all related RFCs, the Microsoft TCP/IP implementation oddities, verifies all Registry locations for the same TCP/IP parameters (ICS Sharing, AOL protocol MTU, etc), only ads the necessary Registry parameters, and overall aids in making the whole "tweaking for speed" experience a breeze. It is downloadable from here: SG TCP Optimizer.

In the following chapters, you will find short descriptions of all the settings and all aspects of the functionality of the TCP Optimizer. In addition to this documentation, you can also check the TCP Optimizer FAQ, as well as the SG Tweaking forum. We'd also appreciate any feedback about the program, please contact the webmaster or post in our forums with any suggestions for additions or changes to either the program or this documentation.

If you do not feel like reading the entire documentation below, or you simply need the tweaks NOW, without spending time in learning the meaning of all those settings, you can use the Optimizer by following these short instructions:

- Choose your maximum Connection Speed from the slider bar (the maximum available bandwidth, in kilobits per second)
- Choose your Network Interface, or check to Modify All Network Adapters
- Pick "Optimal settings" from the radio-buttons near the bottom of the program
- Click on the "Apply changes" button and reboot

expand image

The Optimizer can do all the rest for you (including a backup of the current registry settings, so you can revert the changes if you wish). The new version of the program includes a preview of all changes after hitting the "Apply changes" button and before actually editing the Windows Registry.

You can also use the Optimizer to easily apply custom values, test with different settings, and learn a bit more about tweaking and TCP/IP in general. We strongly recommend getting familiar with the settings, and learning what aspects of your connection they affect first. Also, note that some of the program tabs (Largest MTU, BDP, Latency) can be used as a learning tool without making any changes to the Windows Registry.

The 3 radio buttons at the bottom of the program show the relevant "Current settings" as set in the Windows Registry, the Optimizer recommended "Optimal settings", or allow for "Custom settings" for the more advanced user to test with different values.

Please see the following chapters for definitions and detailed descriptions of all options in the TCP Optimizer.

CleanMem v.1.3.0

2009-03-20T05:52:00.000-07:00

The program will install and set it to run every 30 min via the windows task scheduler

The program will install and set it to run every 30 min via the windows task scheduler. Install it and your done! The program doesn't run in the back ground, once it does its job it closes and doesn't run again until the task scheduler runs it.

The CleanMem application was designed to be a very simple to operate as it will run and clean the memory out of all processes it can, without any user input.

Some anti viruses and such protect their processes so of course cleanmem can't touch those.

This doesn't work like other memory cleaners that do nothing but force windows to free up memory by using up all the avail. memory. This old trick then causes your system to lag big time!

Works on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, & 2008 (32bit & 64bit)

* Modified the Playlist List window to transform Mouse Message in such a way as to remove smooth scroll and therefore remove the laggy feel as you scroll through the list with the mouse wheel
* Fixed potential minor memory leak when opening a malformed .m3u
* Modified parsing of M3u and Pls playlists so that they are read in as binary, and split accordingly instead of as text. This fixed potential problems with reading lists with binary characters. Some malformed playlists would only read up to a certain point, now they read in their entirety
* Fixed buttons from showing their _over and _down and then fading out at the start of a skin load
* Fixed Indicators from showing intially and then fading out if they aren't active. They'll all now start in their correct state
* Added initial Lyrics reading support from embedded ID3v2 Tags, Ape Tags and Ogg Vorbis Tags. Add Lyrics text viewer into File Info Window
* Added support for loading Album Art from ID3v2 tags. These will be now be loaded if found, otherwise the current folder will be searched and loaded.
* Modified the get album art function for plugins so that any loaded tags are checked first, followed by the file system.
* Updated the Tray Pause and Play state icons
* Minor changes to XionWindow to allow for shutdown and initialize defaults. Also some minor changes to Playlist header
* Modified the colour and text for the Plugin Window when rendering an Invalid Plugin
* Updated the BookMarker and Last.FM Scrobble components with Unicode support as well as the new Xion SDK support
* Updated the Glare project to better support Winamp and Sonique
* Updated the Window snapping to allow the Main Interface to move other docked windows around when they are docked to it. Extra docked windows won't currently dock to other windows or edges, only the Main window will while dragging multiple windows around
* Fixed the 'Play All' link in windows explorer so that Xion uses all files instead of just one - Thanks D Jones!
* Made the resizeable Playlist 100 percent Alpha and Transparent compatible. Playlist window can now have soft edges, shadows and transparency!
* Fixed an issue with the Playlist background piece not properly positioning itself
* Fixed the Playlist and Search box colours so that they are properly alpha multiplied according to the layer opacity
* Modified the way that mouse overs work so that if you have multiple layers below the current, they will also react to the mouse over. Helps fix an issue for ALAS
* Fixed some alignment issues when certain playlist skin elements were missing
* Fixed a redraw issue when the playlist was resized smaller, leaving uncleared pixels
* Fixed the Resize rectangle on the playlist so that it draws over the top properly
* Fixed the resize rectangle not drawing over the top of the playlist box or the search box
* Fixed a potential crash in XionTags when reading AlbumArt
* Added support for a skinnable playlist scrollbar. No more windows scrollbar on the Playlist!
* Fixed the VUmeters not functioning correctly due to recent changes with the slider objects
* Added support for drawing layers over the top of the playlist. Now you can add highlights, shines, etc over the top of the playlist text/entries
* Added support for using an animation set as a Sliderbit. Just add sliderbit into the LayerSet name along with animation i.e. 'sliderbit animation ...etc...'
* Fixed the search text box caret not rendering correctly due to recent canvas changes
* Changed trans_* keywords so that they are properties instead of objects. You can now combine them with objects. I.e. track trans_volumel
* Added new time layer to display local clock time. Keyword is clock. Use it in conjuction with time. E.g. 'time clock'. Includes blinking colons.
* Fixed the snaprectangle for the playlist window so that it correctly sizes when you resize the playlist. snaprectangle should be using something like 'snaprectangle anchortl anchortr anchorbl anchorbr tile' in order to resize with the playlist
* Modified the Global HotKey control to not allow bindings to single keys. Instead it enforces using combinations. It will also ensure users don't use Alt+key.
* Added support for linking several text layers together when dragging the text around. Use the link(x) keyword. Any other layers with link(x) in them will also drag/scroll in time. x can be any single word
* Modified the install switch to automatically copy the Default.zip to the user's directory
* Fixed the Window snapping so that it works better
* Added Multimonitor support to the screen edge snapping
* Fixed the Skinnable Playlist Scrollbar so that it correctly updates when you load a playlist
* Fixed the Skinnable Playlist Titlebar so that it correctly updates when items are added
* Added initial support for snapping windows that are snapped to the current, to snap to other things. Disabled for now till I can stabilize it
* Enabled Indicator updates for the Playlist

Startup Control Panel 2.8

2009-03-16T16:38:00.000-07:00

Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple to use and, like all my programs, it's very small and won't burden your system. A valuable tool for system administrators!

Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows through Windows XP. Windows Vista, after all these years, finally has a very good startup manager built-in; go to Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools, and then click on Manage Startup Programs on the left.

Installing

Run the setup program in the zip file.

Standalone EXE version: just extract the program wherever you want.
Starting

Double-click the Startup icon in the Control Panel. On Windows XP, you must switch the Control Panel to Classic View in order to see this icon.

Standalone EXE version: just run the program.
Using

The dialog contains six to seven tabs, depending on your system configuration. Each tab represents one place where a program can be registered to run at system startup. These include:

* Startup (user) - the current user's Startup folder in the Start Menu.
* Startup (common) - the common (all users) Startup folder in the Start Menu.
* HKLM / Run - the Run registry key located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. These apply for all users.
* HKCU / Run - the Run registry key located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These apply for the current user only.
* Services - system services that are started before the user logs in. This appears only in Win9x; on NT/2000/XP, use the Services control panel, or the Services item in Computer Management.
* Run Once - started once and once only at the next system startup.
* Deleted - programs go to the Deleted tab when you remove them from another location. They will not run at system startup, but will merely be stored should you ever want to use them again. If you delete an item from the Deleted tab, it is removed permanently.

Each page contains a list of the programs registered at that location. Use the checkbox to enable or disable individual items. Additional operations are available by right-clicking an item. You can select multiple items using the Shift and Control keys. Options include:

* New... - create a new entry. You can also drag & drop files from My Computer or Explorer.
* Edit... - edit an existing entry.
* Delete - delete the currently selected entry.
* Disable / Enable - disable or enable the selected entry. A disabled program will appear in the list with a special icon, and will not run at system startup. You can also use the checkbox next to an item to enable or disable it.
* Run Now - executes the program now.
* Send To - moves the entry from the current location to another.
