MediaCoder awarded CNET editor's choice of free software

[MrJoshua861978]

Thanks for the free info

[alexmeanberg]

Insider Secrets was my favorite fucking part of Cnet TV and its fucking GONE

[XRIVAL360]

what can you do exacly with the 3d "blender programme" cause ive always wanted to make a cenimatic game trailer for a game idea sin as i cant make a game lol, would it be possible if not time consuming?

[LoadDownGURU]

Good info, I use those except the only thing I can't replace is photoshop and windows.

[jtee58]

I never pay for anything on my laptop and i already know some of these programs but i like this vid

[benboyang]

I hate 1-minute intros in 3-minute vids

[videosoftware]

nice job

great work

fantastic

[naveedsoccer]

lol.." Live Free Or pay" Reminds me of die hard which goes " live free or die hard" xD

[reck101101]

maybe Live free or Pay hard....sounds a lot more better...

[banghiphorray]

linux is absolutely amazing!

Run ubuntu myself - had vista, and since the switch never looked back - its like having a 'build your own operating system' for free... anything and everything you could dream of using.... in one place.

try it...

[HipnosisV1Games]

VISTA Sucks too

XP is the SH**

[Tan4500]

fuck yea vista. vista FTL NOOBS!!!!!!!

[HipnosisV1Games]

linixx is lame

[TexWhatever]

hell yeah! especially the modern ones....they SUCK!

knoppix 3.3 had my hard disk where i can find it.

with the modern BULLSHIT ones like ubunti you can't find it with a geiger counter. it's geek fodder only, installation is SHIT, multitrack music programs are practically non-exixtent and run like SHIT anyway (like audacity, what a pile of poo).

mac's all crippleware unless you want to pay a fortune and become a slave to poo-tools for a fortune (well mac is only for rich gits anyway).

xpsp2!!

[UnrealNate]

Or you can use torrents. ;)

[HipnosisV1Games]

...or you can get a virus ;)

[UnrealNate]

Doubt it

[METALIST1989]

hey pretty good explanation for those who never heard of anything like this... hehe. but IMO gimp is nothing comparing to PS

[MTEXX2]

Woot : )

I use every single one of these apps except Blender, but then again I don't know how to do 3D modeling!

[melloki76]

Thanks for the video! I'm going to go check out gimpshop.

[alena057]

it is gonna be hard to download it I tried

[HystericalGrape]

I love open source software and always try to find these programs whenever I can.

[granduelist]

really recommend open office and audacity. Gotta get gimp soon.

[GenoSkill]

Niiiiiice Video, not like the youtube's random shits.

[swiv2d]

What's Linux used for?

[rdiznfriends]

is an operating system

[Needataco]

this is an extremely helpful video

[thorbjoerna]

Gotta <3 Blender!

[KBly22]

Awesome!!

[beonewithyuri]

VLC is the best media player ever. it can play any video file flv avi mpg div3 no codex required

[JamesDuncan1991]

My favourite is GOMplayer. I might try out this VLC though

[simshortfilms]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aquad2320]

Open sorce is awesome thank you programers

[jaxxrr]

im not gonna play zombies on my high-end pc so linux and mac are not an option.. but still free software is welcome.. its like the pirated software only a bit lamer and no legal issues :)

go torrents .. yay :D

[zeilja]

from this video i found 3 new software and i'm going to use them now and 4ever!! =]

i love opensource soft!!! i use linux too and i definitely won't pay something for that dumb micro$oft... i could better donate that money to app opensource software developers... :)

...coz' opensource matters ;)

[OmegaPhoenixXX23]

Firefox and Linux forever

Open source rules!!

[davronru]

GO Open Source

[0m0a0x0i0b0n0]

Ever heard of piracy? Thank god for pirated software.

[HackyMcKnobKnob]

Amen.

[scriptorius]

The whole "free" thing is part of the reason why the term "open source" came up. I'll use the age-old expression, open-source is more accurately free as in "free speech", of course, I haven't really found an open-source app that costs money.

[jRojas24]

i love cnet, and Veronica Belmont!

[elacapulqueno01]

cool!

[kaydenraine]

audacity sucks, i had no idea you could export to mp3, the thing instead pushed its own format, and editing lol? I can't see anyway to simply enter the numbers, instead you have to use it's ridiculous visual method which ugh is not just confusing but requires absurd master gamer like abilities. It's stupid.

[6d617474]

How can you not know you could export to MP3 - its in the menu!

As for pushing their own format, you mean .aup? Aup is an editing format, so you can save your project and open it again with all the tracks in place, a bit like GIMP's xcf. THEN once your done you export (which mixes-down and encodes) to MP3, OGG, etc.

And if you meant pushing vorbis as "their own format" then I would be ROTFLOL'ing on the floor for eternity!

[mushk45]

it can't export to mp3 because of patent issues I guess...

[6d617474]

It can. (we're still talking audacity here).

You just have to grab a version of LAME and point audacity to where it can find lame_enc.dll.

[HackyMcKnobKnob]

Audacity is a great program. It takes an idiot to mess it up.

[ongschang]

I LOVE FREEWARE :*

[mushk45]

THIS IS NOT FREEWARE!!!

Free software is NOT freeware! argh!

[pixologic]

Freeware is cool

[Ogre35010]

I Agree... Its Actually Called. ShareWare

[oksigeno]

This is not freeware, but better - is free software, is copylefted technology.

[eirikstran]

you er genial!!

[zaphodb777]

Right on man! I love (and use) almost all of these! Going to check out Notepad2 (hope it has a HEX editor function), and Blender right now!

[spacy51]

I am using most of his proposed software on a more or less daily base. I can only support him, try the software and keep it if you like it, instead of automaticaly using the current Microsoft Software.

[GegoXaren]

linux is not an os, its an kernel...

gimshop sux, gim is better...

dont use that media converter, i use mencoder and ffmpeg2theora.

[scratched86]

When most people say Linux, it is understood that they mean GNU/Linux.

Gimpshop is made from the same code, just a different interface so I don't see how you can say one is better...

MediaCoder uses MEncoder and probably ffmpeg2theora to convert stuff so there's no real downside to it.

The projects mentioned in that video are great and shouldn't be put down just because you use something else. Try being more accepting.
