What best/free pc softwar do you have on your computer?

I got some great free flight sim planes and scenery etc from 'PC Pilot' over the years. They also brought out a free to play basic version of 'Rise of Flight' (which I never did manage to get off the ground) and 'DCS World'

Thanks for the recommendation.

I installed it yesterday and its doing well in Win10(64 bit).
I still need to find a module that can convert DVD movies I burned with a Magnavox VHS/DVD recorder/player.

The VHS/DVD unit still works but I'm guessing it won't be for much longer

and I'd like to try converting some DVD flicks like "Roadside Prophets" (imagine Easy Rider meets Black Flag and The Beastie Boys with some very unique cameos like Timothy Leary as an old farmer in a pickup truck).

The problem with most of the old VHS/DVD recorders is how they encoded the DVDs they burn.

BTW for the OP- grab a freeware install of CCleaner. Its a very handy program for cleaning out junk files and old or damaged registry entries. You don't need to run it every day or even every month but it does a great job.

I am using Plex on my computer right now,it is good.too

VLC media player is really good but can be a bit confusing to use some of the functions and I use it to play video most of the time.

MakeMKV is great for burning video to HDD but that is illegal so I've "never" done it.

Hi

I save some game video using Geforce experience, problem is the files are huge. I use Handbrake to transcode them into a shareable size, it is open source and very well made. https://handbrake.fr/
Try it out it is quick and the results are pretty good too.

Regards

Hi mate download and try Handbrake it is very comprehensive and will even pull the files of a mounted dvd.
