Broderbund asks to publish CaptureWizPro.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We were thrilled last week to get a request to publish CaptureWizPro from Broderbund Software, makers of top selling titles such as The Print Shop, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Myst. They'd call it "Broderbund Screen Shot Deluxe powered by PixelMetrics". How 'd they find us? By looking at the wonderful comments people left on CNET Download.com. No kidding. Thank you everyone who gave us a thumbs up vote!

Magic recording button in VideoLAN player.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We've recommended the VideoLAN media player for years for playing DVDs. And now the player has a one-click recording feature that simultaneously records whatever's playing. This is much easier than using CaptureWizPro. But there's a trick! To make the little red recording button appear, you must click View / Advanced Controls.

Recordings appear in your My Documents folder with the extension ASF. On the computer we tested, "Windows Media Video 9" format was used. You can specify a different output folder at Tools / Preferences / Input & Codecs / "Record directory or filename". Thank customer Henry S. for providing us the incentive to figure this out.

How to show time or duration in your recordings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an easy way to show duration in your recordings, just drag the recording toolbar into the recording area. To record the time & date, we simply drag the Windows clock into the recording area. To open the Windows clock, right-click the taskbar clock then click Adjust Date/Time.

PDF to text converters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PDF is a commonly used format for sending mult-page documents on the Internet. The problem is, recipients can often only look at the document, not copy or use the material in there own documents. To the rescue, there are free online converters for converting PDF files into Microsoft Word DOC files. We tried a few, but none produced documents close to the original file. Of the ones we tried, PDF Online worked best and it did provide us with the text inside the original PDF.
