You can deal with a stalled program by a "request to close, then force a close" or just "force an immediate close". Lasso also shows memory usage, responsiveness, all running programs (so I can zap as many as I like from one screen), it can throttle any/all programs back, and there are regular easily-installed updates. Perfect. I’ve tried Unlocker and it’s fine, but Process Lassso (http://www.bitsum.com/prolasso.php) is better IMHO.

I use that program on a daily basis. Quick Media Converter seems good and better than SUPER, which is what I now use - it's powerful but could be easier to use.

The only thing I would add is Snagit. I have to do a lot of screen captures and annotate them in my job ( and previous ones) and this is a constant on all my current and previous PCs over the last few years. The latest version 9.1 is especially good becuase it stores the cpatures in its own db so you don't have to keep thinking of names and locations for them.

It depends on the encryption method used and the strength of the password. Certainly, AES256, Twofish or similar with a strong password will take a VERY long time to brute force, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE. If used correctly then yes, for all intents your data is safe... I just think it's misleading to say IMPOSSIBLE. Does CDex have secure ripping these days? I've always liked EAC for it's secure ripping and error correction features. CDex has a nicer UI, however.

CDex is a fine program but it really doesn't compare to Exact Audio Copy (www.exactaudiocopy.de) for accuracy and quality. Additionally, I would suggest that FormatFactory (http://www.formatoz.com/) for media conversion. Both programs are, of course, free. Hi, just a couple of items.

I always use Daniusoft Video Converter Suite which a friend told me, including DVD ripper and Video converter. It could help you convert DVD and video between all popular video and audio formats such as converting AVI to MPEG, WMV to AVI, WMV to MPEG, VOB to AVI, WMA to MP3, etc with only three steps. Also let you set the movie effects. http://www.convert-video-dvd.com/video-converter-suite.html#116 Happy New Year!

That is perhaps one of the most annoying things that can happen in windows, and it's not exactly a rare occurence. Quick Media Converter also looks like something I might be interested instead of my current setup of videora and dbpoweramp. Besides your choice of winamp I've really thought everything on this list was great and reflective of exactly what I use as well, thanks. Thank you SO MUCH for Unlocker.
