VSTRING library provides vast set of string manipulation features including dynamic string object that can be freely exchanged with standard char* type, so there is no need to change function calls nor the implementation when you change from char* to String (and vice versa).

The main difference from other similar libs is that the dynamic String class has no visible methods (except operators) so you will use it as a plain char* but it will expand/shrink as needed.

VSTRING (VSTRLIB) also provides Perl-like arrays and hashes (VArray and VTrie). There is and VRegexp class which automates regexp pattern matching.

NOTE: vstring is loosely based on `cxstring lib (c) Ivo Baylov 1998.
NOTE: vstring is distributed standalone as well as a part from vslib.

TkDVD is a GUI for growisofs, which is a part of dvd+rw-tools. TkDVD project allows burning DVD+R/RW and -R/RW discs easily.
Main features:
- View the current command line passed to growisofs with options and file listing
- Burn DVD from iso images
- Create ISO images from files
- Can overburn DVD
- Support multi-sessions DVD
- Add/delete/exclude file/directories and show current used space
- can keep directory structure
- options to choose iso9660 filesystem extension (like Joliet or RockRidge extensions)
- Prevent burning if used space > DVD+R/RW capacity
- show output of growisofs/mkisofs to view burned % and estimated remaining time
Enhancements:
- A bug when burning a multisession DVD was fixed: the -Z option was passed to growisofs in addition to -M, although just -M is enough.
- The French translation was updated.
- A German translation was added.

Ts2Dvd lets you make video DVD from almost any video file. You just have to select input video files, add subtitles file, then press Start button. After few minutes you get VIDEO_TS for burning it as DVD.

Movie2XviD is a script for encoding a DVD or other movie to AVI (XviD).
Auto computing bitrate and hight quality, but it is a little slowly.
Enhancements:
- Add options
- video filter
- help
- new computing bitrate
