Burn discs of any kind - from Audio CD to High-Definition Video

Did you download a high-def burning utility only to find that it does not support your minty Blu-Ray burner? Got a message saying "Your disc burner is not supported, please update the driver"? DVD Blaster works with all CD, DVD and HD burning hardware with no issues, and supports all optical disk formats from legacy Audio CD to brand-new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs. Of course, you can burn a data CD, a single or double-layer DVD video or data disc just as easily!

Ever had a bunch of MP3s, but couldn't figure how to make a proper CD to play back in your car? Make an Audio CD from WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF or WMV files from within a single application. Make a Video CD, Super VCD or even a DVD video from a movie in almost any video format from the very same application. Burning data CDs and DVDs is equally easy no matter what you store. Erase or rewrite CD-RW discs, create double-layer DVDs and perform just about any burning task with DVD Blaster.

Burning a disc is now extremely simple thanks to the DVD Blaster new wizard-style interface. Feel a little more advanced? Try the Power GUI that allows you to fine-tune your discs and adjust burning properties. Want to fit more on a CD or DVD than the standard allows? Increase your storage capacity safely and easily with DVD Blaster's Power GUI by adjusting the Overburn!

Did you ever wonder what's inside that ISO file? ISO files are disc images that contain information about the entire CD or DVD disc. Until now, your only choice to see what's there would be burning the image onto a blank media. DVD Blaster conveniently mounts the ISO image and creates a separate drive letter, allowing you to work with the image as if it was a real disc inserted into your CD/DVD drive - yet without actually burning anything! No need to waste blank media, and no more waiting till the burning finishes - just mount an image with DVD Blaster, and you're ready to roll.

IsoBuster is high end but low cost software to do data recovery from CD, DVD, BD and HD DVD. By better Error handling and several retry-mechanisms IsoBuster has a fair chance of recovering your data. The use of alternative ways to get to the data means that you get the best out of your drive.

This means that it is not limited to what Windows can see and it is able to deal with all sorts of logical issues as well. As a result discs stay 'readable' after problems, such as a Buffer Under-run or a failed disc finalisation, and all common file-systems, even the ones not supported by Windows are recognised and interpreted by the program. The program is however not limited by the file-system standards, it copes with a vast range of possible issues, hard coded or via virtual intelligence and on top of this it is able to build file lists based on file-signatures, independent from any file-system data. Supported file-systems are ISO9660, Romeo, Joliet, Rock Ridge, UDF 1.02 up to 2.6, HFS, HFS+, IFO/VOB for standard Video DVD but also DVD+VR specific. Additionally IsoBuster takes care of all sorts of drive-disc incompatibilities, such as support for Mount Rainier discs in non-Mount Rainier drives.

Image In Focus ver 3.3
Image In Focus software combines various out of focus images to create a single Montage composite in-focus images.

Various microscope or digital camera images, each taken with a different focal plane can be combined (or stacked) into one perfectly in-focus picture. Each image, with a different portion in focus, is used to perfect the focus for the composite in-focus image. Sophisticated algorithms are used to make the best focus image possible. You can save, edit or directly print the image that you have created.

No new hardware is needed, as this software combines images you have already taken with your existing equipment. It is compatible with all cameras and optical and digital microscopes which can create digital image files.

All features are user controllable, so that you get the maximum enhancement with a wide variety of different images. In 'auto' mode, these features are automatically optimized. This is why Image In Focus is recognized as the best value available.

A free demonstration version is available for download. For problems, questions, or to purchase the full commercial version, contact Special K Software at http://www.specialksoftware.com/imageinfocus.html and email gmckay@specialksoftware.com

Is it a pain for you to constantly switch out your CDs or DVDs? Do you need the information from your CDs/DVDs, but would prefer to have a safe archive rather than the original copy? Does it annoy you, every time you work with a notebook PC, how high the power consumption is for the CD/DVD drives? Would you be just plain happier if you could get better performance out of the CD/DVD drives in your computer?
SimDisc can install up to 63 (virtual) drives on your PC, which should generally be enough to keep all of the CD/DVD data you might want close at hand. Furthermore, SimDisc can itself create exact copies, or images, of your CDs and DVDs and store them on the hard drive, which means you can safely store away the originals with no muss, no fuss. After that, a single click puts the CD/DVD (image) of your choice in the virtual drive!

Of course, SimDisc works just as well over a network! It doesn't matter whether the CD/DVD image is on your machine or any other on the network, if you can access it then SimDisc can put it in the (virtual) drive of your PC all the same.

SimDisc is not only fast, but also a power saver. The performance of a computer's hard drive is simply better than that of a physical CD or DVD drive, and at the same time the physical power demanded by that of a hard drive is significantly less than its optical counterpart.

In architectural photography, the effect of converging lines is often unwanted and can be avoided by using a perspective control lens. This lens can be shifted out of the optical axis and thus the film plane can be positioned parallel to the subject and the subject is rendered undistorted. Shift lenses are mechanically and optically more complex than ordinary lenses, so they are comparatively expensive. The software ShiftN offers another way to correct converging lines. All corrections are done automatically by evaluation of vertical edges without any user interaction needed.
