I've used this for some time. In addition to easy downloading, it does a good job of compressing and rendering wmv files. My only complaint is that it gives me a *.WMV file rather than *.wmv.

PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Excellent!  qright

PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition version 4.0

  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

PC Tools must have cured the problems referred to earlier, especially the references to it being a memory hog. On my pc (xp sp2; 1 gig ram), it has a small footprint, is perfectly stable, uses way less memory than McAfee, Comodo, or Avast. I set it to check for updates daily, which it does; so that doesn't appear to be an issue, either. I use it along with their free firewall which is equally good.

Sothink Movie DVD Maker
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003

qleft  Few options but great results  qright

Sothink Movie DVD Maker version 1.0

  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Other than adjusting bit rates, audio gain, and video standard, there are no options or tweaks. But for most burning jobs, what else do you need? Quality of output is fair to excellent depending on the original source and whether or not you have to adjust the bit rates. Thanks to the maker!!!

Arachnophilia
  • Freeware

qleft  Good program, but not that easy to use  qright

Arachnophilia version 5.3 build 2164

  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 3

This is a great program if you have time to customize it, or if you want a cross-platform editor. I went back to the old version (4) just 'cuz it's easier to use and has a few features that are absent in v5 (like copying images from one folder to another. But all-in-all, it's one of the best editors freeware and shareware.
