In the renaming through GUI department, LupasRenamer is really hard to beat for ease of use -- notwithstanding its aging interface; it would be perfect if its developer took the time to update it a bit since, as it is now, it is already showing its age...

@Midas... still true 9 years later. Bulk Filr renamer & ant renamer are good, but this matches them, who are over 2 to 3 mb, BUT weighing in at under 300kb (290kb reduced to needed files) when made portable & upx compressed
best pick

GSpot v2.70a

Checker on 15 Mar 2014
  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

GSpot determines which audio and video codecs are required to play a file, as whether these codecs are installed on your system. Simply drag-and-drop any AVI file to the GSpot window.

Note: Has not been updated for several years, so newer codecs may not be recognized.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista
Writes settings to: Windows registry. I am accepting it as portable on the assumption that it will only be used occasionally to troubleshoot codec problems, so portable settings is that important.
Unicode support: No
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking on GSpot.exe.

I have no idea how or why this app has the nerver to call itself portable. It writes a ton of settings to the registry. Enough said...

An alternative would be AviCodec http://avicodec.duby.info/

Update: after extensive use, although program had a lot of promise but its unfortunately really buggy. Drag and drop outside of the window doesn't work, wouldn't refresh a new cd that was inserted, and many, many minor glitches. Pass on this one.

Super Mario War is a tribute to the old "versus" Mario games with a wealth of features and game modes. The goal is to primarily hop on your opponents, though powerups such as Fire Flowers, Hammers, Invincibility and more are available to help you defeat your foes. AI "bots" are also available and are usually quite a challenge, though their performance can vary from map to map. Super Mario War also supports extra maps and skins.

It's perfectly available, but they're hosting it at a new place. Open up the website, hit "Download Game" and you'll see the address of the new place. Type it in (you'll be led to a forum) and look for a sticky that says something along the lines of "Super Mario War [version] Released!"

I like this program best, since it allows multiple files at the same time, and supports a bunch of different formats, and is free.

Webfork on 2009-12-11 19:41

Outstanding program. Drag-and-drop support, multiple file checks, and containing the three major checking algorithms. Very useful to evaluate a file as genuine and uncorrupted.

Midas on 2018-06-19 07:57

Hash could be really convenient if it allowed to suppress GUI and redirect output to /stdout/.
