				And instead of burning it with rubbish bloatware like Nero, you could use the rather fabulous freeware InfraRecorder which is brilliant and FREE!
 
 
Get in there! |

				Almost anything you need at filehippo:
 
 
https://www.filehippo.com
 
 
(note: mostly freeware, but some shareware; nicely organized) |

				If you ever need to add a load of files to individual zips, then you need a program like this:
 
 
https://rom-zipper.software.informer.com/download/
 
 
It's designed for game roms (megadrive, snes etc) but it will work with any file that you might want to work with. |

				To get a rough clip from most video formats, this is what I use. It relies on keyframes so you might not get precision.

A fantastic site when you have a new computer or just reinstalled your operating system. Tonnes of free vital applications that will be downloaded and installed automatically. I use this a lot. |

				And here's an online photo editor
 
 
www.pixlr.com
 
 
Its probably the closest to photoshop that I've seen. Obviously doesn't have photoshop's wide range but its still pretty good. It also has firefox and chrome add ons which allow you to click on an image and edit it in pixlr.
 
 
Very handy for quick edits. |
