The video player that plays everything
When it comes to video files, nothing is ever as easy as it should be. Thankfully, VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. This latest release candidate features a number of fixes that should make VLC Media Player run more smoothly. You will need Mac OS X 10.5 to use this version.
Also this week we have the latest version of GraphicConverter, the low-cost image-editing and batch image conversion software. Our game this week is Luxor 3, in which your matching skills will be put to the test as you battle against the god of Chaos.
