  1. Review - Bandwidth Controller Standard

    0.31 Beta (Dec 29, 2004)

    installs fine, except it doesnt detect the right program files folder. defaults to c:\program files\
    second glitch. it doesnt recognize my dialup- and vpn-connection. i can limit traffic on LAN-connection, but why, it's a LAN-connection. to sum it up, bandwidth controller is worthless for my setup.

  2. Review - FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder

    20030927 (Oct 6, 2003)

    ever wondered why filesize increased from ~700k to 1.1mb? well, you obvisouly didn't check out the new audio decoder. it supports wma, mp2/3 and ac3 - and it works.
    as it is fairly new, it has its disadvantages. the ac3 codec doesnt have the nice DRC and Normalize settings like AC3Filter got to make smooth the volume during the movie (no extrem peaks in volume due to explosions etc). After playing some movies with the codecs i found skipping in movies doesnt work that well. after the movie stopped for few seconds, audio plays forehead, video to slow.

    nevertheless, a nice codec, where the audio decoder needs more attention. if both work perfectly and gain more features like DRC and normalize, it would be the only codec pack you need for viewing you movies - forget about nimo, ace and pikachu codec pack.

    4 points because the audio codec isnt that worthy for releasing ;)
