| How to use free multimedia tool to save your mone (2010-02-25) Free multimedia tool including DVD tool, music tool, photo manager, etc Nowerdays the recession hits everyone into a hard time and we should save money. How can we save our wallet while using multimedia tool? Here I'll introduce you the free multimedia applications that can help you resolve many questions daily applying. There are plenty of ways to view, manage, create, and distribute your media without spending a dime. Picasa – Manage your photos easily. If you have more than 10 photos on your computer, you can get Picasa to help you Organize, search, display, and share your photos in a way that will make you really appreciate your camera. Windows Live Photo Gallery (Reasonable clone of Picasa integrates with Windows Live services well). Paint.net – If you need to do minor edits to your photos and images that don’t warrant the King’s ransom that Photoshop commands, you should give Paint.net a try. You can do edits that range from simple to complex without spending a dime. Yes, I know there’s a huge Gimp following, but I just like this better. Alternatives: The Gimp do yourself a favor get the Gimpshop version. VLC – This is a streamed down media player that will play any audio or video format ever created flawlessly. This is a lot like Foxit for your videos. It opens lightning fast and begins playing your files. Light, fast, simple! iTunes – Yeah I know, there are a bunch of alternatives but, I still just like iTunes. It does just about everything I need very well and the few things it doesn’t do, I just use one of the other options. Alternatives: (Media Monkey, Songbird, Winamp, Miro TV) DVD Shrink – If you want to make "backup copies" of any of your "legally purchased" DVDs, this is the simplest application out there. Pop in the disk, click "Backup" and go. Then, use DVD Decrypter to burn it to a blank disk. Once you do the simple setup, you can do a two click back up of any DVD.
