`11.Mar.2004` Christian Rosentreter (ANF)	MorphOS: enqueueTorrent 1.0 released enqueueTorrent is a commandline tool which helps to integrate MLdonkey support into your favourite Amiga browser. Instead of Copy'n'Paste an eDonkey or BitTorrent link manually from the browser into the MLdonkey console you can setup a "Send Link to MLdonkey..." or/and a "application/x-bittorrent" MIME type and let enqueueTorrent do the work for you. enqueueTorrent works with locally and remotely installed MLnet (MLdonkey) servers, so you also can send an URL from IBrowse to your Linux box with just one mouse click. You can find the download under the title link. If someone is interested in an 68k port for Classic Amigas (indeed, only useful for remotely installed MLnet server) then write an email to the author.

`11.Mar.2004` MorphZone (comments)	mDVD: MorphOS GUI for DVD Playing with MPlayer J.-P. Jokela has prepared mDVD (9.3 MB), a GUI (graphic user-interface) for playing DVDs with mPlayer under MorphOS. Besides mPlayer you must also have RxMUI installed. MDVD is a simple selection program for DVD titles, subtitles, and soundtracks, with a few options such as framedrop or full-screen. It does not include search functions or DVD menu support. The author requests feedback as to desired features, and points out that that one should read the manual before trying out the configuration of the GUI, and set the path for mPlayer as well as the orientation of subtitles and soundtracks.

`10.Mar.2004` Bill Panagouleas (ANF)	Open Video Toaster: High number of downloads Bill Panagouleas writes: Last months launch of Open Video Toaster was a great success. Visitors to the site downloaded over 57 Gigabytes of source code! When you consider that the code to the Amiga Video Toaster Flyer is only about 30MB that is a lot of unique downloads. As we suspected there has been a very high demand for this code ever since it was first promised and we are now pleased to fulfill that demand. Bandwith overage fees for last month were $387.01, Open Video Toaster is a victim of its own success. We have many exciting ideas that have yet to be implemented for this site but can't continue to pay such high monthly bandwith costs alone. If you would like to help support Open Video Toaster, you can do so via Paypal. If you don't have Paypal please click on the Paypal link from http://www.discreetfx.com and join. Best regards, Bill Panagouleas http://www.openvideotoaster.org (snx) [News message: 10. Mar. 2004, 07:17] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
