Applian Technologies and All Alex Inc announce the release of WM Capture, a unique, high-performance video recorder program for Windows that records any video playing on a PC with near-perfect quality.  WM Capture creates unprotected video files from any region of the screen in real time, as the video is playing. Using a high-speed, high-quality MPEG-2 codec, WM Capture can record and compress video fast, resulting in a superior picture quality. Audio playing from the PC’s speakers is incorporated into the video as well. Windows Media format video files can also be created by the software.
 
In addition to offering superior quality, WM Capture has a convenient “get window” feature that automatically marks a recording region just by moving a mouse over it.  Most web page embedded video players can be located in this way. Recording regions can also be set manually to crop or extend the recording area.
 
Alex Urich, the developer, also develops medical imaging software.  Mr. Urich explains, “WM Capture is the first program of its kind to offer all this recording capability for less than $100.  WM Capture brings to the consumer a type of technology that was only available for professional applications. Now everyone can capture any moving image on screen and watch it with perfect clarity.”
 
Screen capture for personal use – which is 100% legal – has to-date been limited by CPU speed and inferior capturing technology. Using WM Capture, the company claims the difference between a screen captured video and the original is negligible.
 
WM Capture is just $39.95, and will work on all modern Windows PCs.  To learn more, visit here.

Applian Technologies and All Alex Inc announces the release of WM Recorder 12.1, the first streaming video recorder that can make exact digital copies of internet video and audio in all the popular formats, including Flash™, Windows Media™, Real Media™, MPEG™ and Quicktime™ streams.  WM Recorder 12.1 records all these streams automatically as they are played, and the included WM Converter lets customers convert videos to AVI, iPod/iPhone, WMV and other popular formats.
 
According to the program’s developer, Alex Urich, WM Recorder 12.1 is the easiest, most powerful way to record streaming video.   “We are really excited about WM Recorder 12.1.  Not only does WM Recorder support all the popular formats and protocols, it can do it extremely fast. Plus, it also converts.” 
 
In addition to recording capability, WM Recorder 12.1 comes with WM Converter built-in. Customers can convert to and from all the popular formats including Flash, WMV, MP3, MP4 and more.   WM Converter comes as a free 15 day trial with the purchase of WM Recorder; the full version of WM Converter is available with the purchase of the WM Recorder Bonus Bundle.
 
WM Recorder will work on all Windows PCs.  To learn more visit here.  

In previous discussions about viewing YouTube videos, we have mentioned TCPMP and Flash Bundle as a viable solution as well as the the HTC Streaming Media application.  These have been workarounds, but not universal, and not consistent (for example, YouTube frequently changes the code so the Flash Bundle has to be updated).

CorePlayer Mobile is actually the “big brother” to the free TCPMP (which actually stands for The Core Pocket Media Player).  The paid version ($24.95) is much more robust, and along with other things, it plays YouTube videos natively. 

The only downside is there’s no trial version, so you’d have to just take the plunge and drop 25 bucks for it.  Just know that it is the TCPMP application on steroids, so if you’ve tried the free version and like it, you should love CorePlayer Mobile for all your video viewing needs.

It looks like HTC is finally admitting, and addressing, the poor video drivers in devices such as the Tilt, the Touch and the Mogul.  They say that the video acceleration will be supported in the future, and will be included in software upgrades for current devices.  Could this be the reason for the delay of the updated ROM for the Mogul?!

No timeframe has been given for this supposed update.  Here is a quote from HTC: (more…)
