WinFF: Cross-platform graphical front end for FFmpeg

WindowsLinuxby Brad Linder Jun 5th 2008

WinFF
FFmpeg is a powerful utility for converting practically any audio or video file to another codec. Want to compress your WAV audio to MP3, OGG, or WMA? FFmpeg can handle it. Want to convert your Windows Media Video to MPEG? No problem. But FFmpeg is a command line utility, which can make it a bit cumbersome if you don't know the ins and outs.

There are several graphical front ends for FFmpeg for Windows or Linux. But WinFF is a graphical user interface for FFmpeg that works on Windows and Linux. There's also a Free Pascal/Lazarus Source file available if you want to try compiling WinFF to run on OS X, Windows CE, or another operating system.

Note that while the Windows version supports pretty much any codec you could want, you may have to update the version of FFmpeg on your Ubuntu/Debian, or Red Hat/Fedora Linux system before WinFF can handle proprietary codecs like MP3.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
