Most of this software is written in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 or 2005 and therefore requires the .NET runtime environment (1.1 or 2.0, respectively). It has been tested under Windows XP Professional only.
MpegALot (download) – A sweet GUI version of AutoMPEG4, my batch MPEG4 encoder - now multithreaded and pretty! (v1.1, 6/2007)
ScreenCoder (download) – a robust and flexible encoding, streaming, and archive-maintenance tool. This software is capable of recording from many video sources, including live video from capture cards, on-screen windows, remote machine screens, and much much more! ScreenCoder is based on the Microsoft Windows Media platform, which includes Windows Media Encoder, Windows Media Player, and Windows Media Server. (5/2006)
XMLerator (download) – an automated podcast generator that crawls through specified directories and updates all your podcasts to include new episodes, all without any intervention on your part once the initial configuration is set. The output podcast file format is flexible and can be customized to your liking. This can also be used as a general RSS feed creator, not just as a podcasting engine. (1/2006)
AutoMPEG4 (download) – an automated tool for reencoding video files to the proper format for the iPod Video. It traverses specified directories and converts all files that match the desired criteria. It uses reliable, trusted open-source tools to encode the video and can be heavily tweaked to suit your needs. (1/2006)
GraphViewer (download) – a small but powerful C++ program that can run Microsoft Graphedit Directshow graph files (*.grf). It can serve many purposes, from a video viewer to a transcoding engine to a capture application, among many other uses. (1/2006)
ScriptWriter (download) – a script generator that eases the burden of processing large numbers of files with Avisynth and Virtualdub. Based on a Java command-line utility I wrote, but now in C# with a pretty GUI. (7/2006)
TileList Control (download) - a Microsoft Visual Studio control that provides a vertical panel which may be filled with custom “tiles” à la the vertical preferences switcher in the Firefox “Options” dialog (pre-1.5 - now they've made it horizontal). This has many potential uses – for instance, I used it as a video source switcher in ScreenCoder.
iTunes Podcast Help - a short guide for end-users about how to subscribe to and manage podcasts in iTunes
Warning: the following projects are somewhat experimental. I am not actively developing them at the moment but may start again in the future.
VideoPreview Control (download) – a live-video control for use withVisual Studio. With this, you can easily build your own live-video viewer application with drag-and-drop ease.
VideoViewer (download) – a simple application based on the VideoPreview Control. This project has been replaced with my GraphViewer program.
