FAQ

Why do you not encode for slower dial up connection speeds?

Why Not Real Player?

This one is easy.  Have you ever played something in Real player?  Were you forever after that seeing it try to upgrade you, take over your desktop, charge you money, etc.. ? Real Player is what is known as a PIG program. It installs itself all over your system, loads at startup, puts icons on the desktop and sys tray, hijacks file associations, and hogs resources. Windows Media 9 Player is the way to go.
