Website seems to have changed.

I want to REALLY download this to make some soft terrains and backgrounds...... But i cant because the site has changed and now it asks me what system I am running and the budget I have available to spend.... I would like this to be updated... So as for now, unfortunately, thumbs down. Please update as necessary and I will be happy to review the program further. :)

Streamosaur v1.0.0.1

billon on 19 Feb 2018
  • 61KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 4 Nov 2008
  • Suggested by Island Boy

Streamosaur is an audio recording program that records directly to disk. Streamosaur can use any broadcast from the sound card including microphone, input lines from external mixer and more. Saves in uncompressed WAV format by default, but encoding directly to MP3 (128 kbps) can be enabled.

The advantage to this software is that recordings can be made faster and easier, without drawing from a temporary file in RAM like many other recording programs. Additionally, the only limit to recording time is your drive size.

From the makers of Wavosaur.

Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: No

How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Streamosaur.X.X.X.X.exe.

Optionally, to enable MP3 recording, read these instructions.

Forgot to mention you can set the MP3 bitrate in the streamosaur.ini file.

webfork on 2010-10-17 03:50

freakazoid: in testing I was unable to modify the bitrate. I changed it but the program would change it back and files output would remain at 128.

freakazoid on 2010-10-17 05:48

@webfork - You are indeed right! I assumed changing the bitrate setting in the .ini would change the bitrate in Streamosaur. Guess I was wrong!

However, some have had success over on the Streamosaur forums: http://www.wavosaur.com/forum/mp3-bitrate-option-t765.html

I tested it and ImageBatch worked for me under Windows 8 x64. It threw error messages only when I tried to add folders and files with Unicode names- it could not process them because ImageBatch does not support Unicode. It is very unlikely that this program will ever be updated.

Specular on 2018-05-05 04:26

@smaragdus thing is I found that even paths with no Unicode resulted in the same error so not sure what it is (didn't try Midas' suggestion however). The files themselves were named 0001.bmp, and onward, about 400 files in all, and were being converted to PNG, fwiw.

smaragdus on 2018-05-05 20:03

@Specular
I ran ImageBatch as administrator.
Anyway, FastStone Photo Resizer and XnConvert are more powerful and I guess they should work better.
For conversion and resizing for years I have been using mainly FastStone Photo Resizer (I prefer version 3.5 which has skins which were removed in later versions).

DVDsig scans all files in a directory structure to verify that files have not been changed or corrupted. Although named for checking external media (DVDs), the program can monitor any folder or folders for changes.

For use with CD/DVDs:

  1. Place dvdsig.exe in the top-most folder you wish to check and run the program
  2. Click "Scan" and wait for the check program to check all files
  3. Burn the files (including dvdsig.exe and dvdsig.md5) to your disk
  4. To check the results, run dvdsig.exe from the disk at any time to verify file integrity

The program uses the MD5 checksum algorithm.
