This is a shell script for *nix operating systems that sets parameters for Handbrake, a free, open source front-end to FFMPEG, an excellent video encoding and decoding library. (Obviously, you will need to have Handbrake installed for this to work.)

The shell script is a nice alternative to Handbrake's GUI, and makes it easy to see some of the available parameters for encoding video. This script is optimized for iPod video encoding, and is faster to run than booting Handbrake and clicking all needed settings with a mouse.

SUPER is a is a veritable "Swiss Army Knife" for video file format conversion. SUPER© is an abbreviation of the Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer. Essentially, it is a Windows front-end GUI to FFmpeg, MEncoder, MPlayer, x264, mppenc, FFmpeg2theora and the theora/vorbis RealProducer plug-in.

SUPER can convert, encode, or play almost any multimedia file. All said, this is an excellent utility that is fast, stable, and produces great video.

Note: Right-Clicking inside the interface brings up a lot of less obvious options.

This is a handy script for NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) that supports a custom icon file, and installs a desktop shortcut to a customizable location. It also includes the use of a "define" so a version string can be changed in one place, but be used throughout the script. I wrote this for a game installer, but it can be altered to suit a variety of purposes.

NetOffice is a free web based project-management environment written in PHP and MySQL. NetOffice allows managing and sharing information about teams, projects, tasks, deadlines and much more. Its intuitive interface makes it a fast and optimal solution for small to medium sized companies or organizations.

Though NetOffice has not been updated for a while, it is worth consideration. I have made it available here because it is getting hard to locate a download source for it online.

This is the foundation install engine for the Microsoft Installer that allows .MSI files to be installed on a Windows computer. For some reason this is not included with certain Windows distributions (like Windows XP), and it has to be located and downlaoded online, which turns out to be less than easy.

This file is virus-free (i.e., it has been checked), and is necessary for installing applications that use the standard MSI installer, such as Autodesk Maya, and many others. It has been tested on Windows XP, but may also work with Windows Vista.
