Azureus 3.0.5.0

Azureus est un système de partage de fichier en Peer to Peer qui fonctionne particulièrement bien sur les fichiers à forte demande (nouvelles démos, nouvelles distributions Linux...).  Azureus est un des clients Bittorrent les plus complets mais présente l'inconvénient et aussi un avantage dans certains cas d'être développé en Java.

Il faut donc installer la machine virtuelle Java de Sun pour l'utiliser.  

Avec un graphisme trés bien élaboré , muni d'options plus ou moins interressantes , Azureus est un des meilleurs logiciel de partage P2P .

Vista Codec Package 4.6.0 Beta 2

Codecs have always been a big problem for the computer users. That's because there has never been a 100% viable working solution available for the average computer user. There are several good codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything i wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a reinstallation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn't play. I've never claimed to be a media guru. My media experience is to doubleclick a file  , I downloaded and hope that it plays. What I do know is how to package software. So I decided to package some codecs and share them with the rest of the world. With this package all possible conflicts are already dealt with. Many user suggested default settings are implemented.

Troubleshooting installation problems :

                           
To solve the above issue, rightclick the downloaded file and from the dropdown list choose 'Run as administrator'
            
VISTA USERS: please research User Account Control
Users may choose to use this program to temporarily disable UAC
and then right-click on the downloaded installer and choose 'Run as administrator'
           
When installing VCP you must choose the language that matches your operating system.
To solve the issue, re-install the same version that's on your system with the correct language.
          
To correct this issue, download and execute the latest installer and it will offer to UPGRADE your current installation.

If you . . .
- are receiving an error message about xvidcore.dll installing the current release will correct it.
- have COM_Surrogate errors, upgrade any DivX products you have with a current release. Upgrade Nero to 8.x
- installed XviD or FFDshow on your own other than the versions included in this package may also cause issues.
- have problems with the functionality one specific program, try installing it AFTER the codec package to resolve it.
Audio output and Speaker setup (Vista)
for DVD settings and audio such as AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
Open the AC3filter configuration shortcut, in the upper left you will see, Output format -
the default setting is : AS IS (no change) ..... you may set it as you wish.
All other audio playback
Open the Audio decoder configuration shortcut, scroll the left window down to 'Mixer',
place a check in the 'Mixer' box, and in the righthand window select you speaker setup in the drop down list
Then check the box for LFE if you have a subwoofer attached.
To use SPDIF output
Go into Vista's Control Panel and navigate Sound/SPDIF/Properties/Advanced/Exclusive Mode
(depending on your sound device, the above path may be a bit different but similar)
Then CHECK the box [x] for the following 2 items
'allow applications to take exclusive control of this device'
'give exclusive mode applications priority'
If you are experiencing choppy or stuttering sound
Go into Vista's Control Panel and open the Sound applet
Select your output device in the list that appears
NOTE: the default output device is commonly labeled Speakers
Right click on the device and from the context menu click Properties.
Click on the Enhancements TAB.
Then CHECK the box [x] for Disable all enhancements.
NOTES on certain types of playback
                
If Windows fails to playback DVD's install Media Player Classic from the Tools section below to play DVD's.
Some MPEG (mpg) files will require you to use the shortcuts provided for CLASSIC playback and vice-versa to MODERN.
Some MOV files will require you to use the shortcuts provided for CAMERA or return it to the DEFAULT.
To playback *.ASF files in Vista's Media Player 11 or Media Center change the file extension to ASX.
To playback *.VOB files in Media Player 11 or Media Center change the file extension to MPG.

Here is a Microsoft document about video THUMBNAIL views in Vista. (excellent description)

It does not contain a media player and it does not associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play DVD's, movies and video clips of almost any filetype. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers. Users of VCP have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public redistributable. After installation you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire package. You can also re-add the removed items at any time. Future releases will recognize previous installations and offer to upgrade them.

            

                      

This package supports 17 localized installations. The default is English and the installer includes support for the following other languages; Chinese Simplified/Traditional, Japanese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish and Turkish. Languages can be added upon request.
