DVDPlayer is just VLC 0.7 renamed as far as I remember - I supplied the VLC builds to magnussoft, as it had become incredibly complicated to build.

This was available on Haiku from day one and we have a much newer VLC now.

VideoEditor is something else renamed too I think - a lot of things were given more simple names; but not consistency - e.g. “Wilmacon” is not obvious at all; its an SMB share mounter.

I really liked using MediaFire (base version), but I never did get the MediaFire Pro version to unlock the full potential of the capabilities–I must have missed my opportunity for getting it back then.

I still use AudioTagger as I prep my MP3 files for my Music Library–hands down works best than all others–even today.

Pixelshop demo was good and I should have purchased the full version. I am still looking for it!

Of course, Refraction and Wonderbrush are just great software to use in Zeta OS. We have Wonderbrush in Haiku.

I would have liked to use PopWeather…but never could figure out how to set it up–no documentation anywhere I could find for it. In Haiku we have a good a replacement: Weather.

MediaConverter–I still use it in Zeta…it just works–nothing fancy about it.

I do like how ZetaPC-Info presents the system’s info but wished it had more options to delve more info or more device info, etc…

Was AudioTagger not just ArmyKnife?

5

My honest opinion is that it’s better. I had less issues using AudioTagger. So yes…they perform the same capabilities…AudioTagger was better at handling the cover artwork per MP3 file. It was hit-or-miss with ArmyKnife…mostly misses.

Also, I remember reading about the Zintr0 that YellowTab produced. I would like to find the multimedia/home theater app that ran on top of Zeta.

It came out about the time Windows XP Media Center version was released…I believe.

I would like to play with it in Zeta 1.5.1. I guess it never was released in US.

There’s an article about the Zintr0 in this magazine:

Yes…I read it. I downloaded the three copies of ZeMag last year.

I haven’t seen one here in US.

Would love to get the Zintr0 software that ran on top of Zeta.

Thanks!
Alfonso

YellowTab didn’t produce it.
