Recommended Software |
| Through trial and error and after downloading
hundreds of various software programs for imaging, video editing and genealogy, (to name a
few), I can say that the following products work the BEST. |
| Easy Video Converter Free Trial Version |
 |
| Easy Video Converter is an All-in-One solution for video file
converting. It comes with fast speed and supports a lot of popular movie formats, such as
AVI, MPEG, Realmedia/RM/RMVB, WMV/ASF, OGG, Matroska, Quicktime, 3GP, MP4, FLV(Flash
Movie) or other types that playable in WMP to AVI with different video codec (including
DivX/Xvid MPEG-4 format) and WMV/ASF/MPEG/DVD/ iPod/PSP/3GP/SWF/FLV. This is a great
tool to convert those wmv files to mpeg so that they can be played on the DVD player
connected to your television. |
|
| MOV to AVI MPEG WMV Converter Trial Version |
 |
| MOV to AVI MPEG WMV Converter is an excellent MOV conversion tool which
can convert QuickTime MOV to AVI, MPEG, VCD, DVD, WMV, ASF formats. Some video camera's record in mov file format
making it difficult to edit them. This tool will convert those files with ease to a
program that you may already have to edit. |
|
| COPY ANYDVD CLONE DVD |
 |
| AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the
copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then
to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can
also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any
DVD player and with any DVD player software. From what I have researched and by law a
person is permitted to make one copy of a movie that they purchase for backup purposes.
With 7 grandkids running around at times, it's important to have a backup since some of
the movies get worn out or scratched. We usually burn a copy and keep the original locked
up or out of reach from little fingers. This program removes the copyright protection that
prevents you from copying a DVD.

| I've used Paint Shop Pro more than anything else for image
editing and animations. If your not sure just how widely used and appreciated it it, just
search for paint shop pro in google or some other search engine. You can make what are
called "tubes" which are images that you have the capability of cutting out part
of and making the part you cut out transparent. You can then past the object you desire
onto another background. After about 10 years of faithfully using Paint Shop Pro, I can
say it's the best. Corel® Paint Shop Pro® Photo X2 is the ideal choice for any
aspiring photographer's digital darkroom. It's filled with easy automatic photo fixes and
precision editing tools. Plus, the NEW one-of-a-kind Express Lab helps you quickly view
and fix dozens of photos in the time it used to take to edit a few. Paint Shop Pro Photo
X2 even includes a built-in Learning Center to help you get started, making it the easiest
way to get professional-looking photos—fast!

X2, with high-quality easy–to–use creative effects, features, and optimization
options for Web graphic designers of every level. It gives you the ability to create
