Thought I would start a thread for all you guys who would like some "alternatives" for pay for apps for Windows. If you would like to add something here please do. Dreamweaver/Frontpage - Nvu... MS Office - Open Office... Adobe Photoshop - The Gimp... Norton/McAffe Antivirus - AVG...  | ||||

WinZIP/WinRAR --> 7-Zip... Microsoft IIS / Personal Web Server --> Apache... Visual C++ --> Dev-C++... Internet Explorer (it's warez if your Windows license isn't paid <_< ) --> Mozilla Firefox... mIRC --> X-Chat... All of these programs are not merely freeware, but Free Software.... | ||||

All of these software are free but they is so much ad / stupid visual stuff / buy the pro version reminders in it that it's nice to have alternatives : Windows Media Player -> Media Player Classic... Real Player -> Real Alternative... (for use with Media Player Classic) Quicktime Player -> Quick Alternative... (for use with Media Player Classic) DivX Pro (and WmV, and DVD player, and every codec you might need) -> K-Lite Codec Pack... Forget every other codec pack you've seen, the k-lite will install only those you want and need. Djidjo | ||||

How can the pack be an alternative to DivX if it installs DivX (same for Windows Media etc)? Looking at what it contains I doubt it can be classified as an "alternative to warez" - you're usually not allowed to redistribute the codecs "bare" even if the software is a free download otherwise and some of them are decidedly dodgy. Anyhoo: for watching MPEG4: ffdshow..., for encoding: XviD.... | ||||

Forget Divx. Get ffdshow... instead. This single codec can playback Divx 3, 4, 5, XVID, 3VIX, and a whole bunch of other formats. It has a better decoding performance than DivX, support subtitles at decoder-level, so you can use whatever player you want and you can see the subs in your TV if your videocard routes overlay video to the TV-out (a feature I use a lot). It also have a huge amount of features, like advanced color adjustement options, real-time filters (blur, sharpen, noise, etc), ability to resize videos in real time (a good way to watch low resolution stuff with a bit more quality), etc. | ||||

Low - polygon game-model creator (for existing games and your own) - Milkshape 3D... It's very easy to import models into say, an OpenGL-based application (depending on what file format you target). | ||||

| Milkshape is time-limited shareware, not freeware. | ||||

It turns out that there's a page that lists a bunch of free/open source apps for Windows without being ugly and byzantine like Tucows and download.com. It's got a ton of stuff, check it out....  | ||||
