iSkysoft Best Free Data Recovery Software for iPhone, Windows and MAC/PC

When we checked in on Windows adoption rates last month, things weren’t looking great for Microsoft’s most recent operating system. Windows 7 was actually gaining traction faster than Windows 8, but the release of Windows 8.1 has led to a notable increase in Windows 8 users. According to Net Applications, Windows 8.1 now accounts for 1.72% of total computer usage after releasing just two weeks ago. This speedy adoption has brought the overall Windows 8.x market share (which includes both Windows 8 and 8.1) to 9.25%, a boon for Microsoft after a slow September for Windows 8. Unsurprisingly, Windows XP continues to fall off the charts, although its decline has slowed slightly from last month. This boost for Windows 8 is exactly what Microsoft needs heading into the holidays — the question is, will Microsoft be able to maintain this momentum?

uTorrent to look up which codecs you need while downloading media torrents

 When you download video or audio files using a BitTorrent application, you get to see some information while you are downloading. This includes all files included in the download for example, which can be useful in determining if you can run them on your system or if you need extra programs or codecs for that.

As far as video files go, you get to see the file name and extension, which may provide you with all the information needed to play them. Or, if you run a program like VLC Media Player or SMPlayer, you do not really need to take extra care of that, as you know that the video player will play all media files just fine and without the need to go codec hunting.

While the extension may give you an indication, you may still run into issues when you try to play a video file that you have just downloaded depending on which codec it requires to play.

One of the features of uTorrent is the ability to display the codecs required to play video files. While I cannot vouch that it will identify all codecs in all files correctly, it did a good job during tests.

Note: After some more testing, it turns out that only select codecs will be identified properly. A basic example is a music release. If the files are offered in mp3 and ogg format, only the codec required to play the mp3 file are displayed, while nothing is displayed for ogg files.

Display media codecs in uTorrent

Here is how this works.

1. Start to download any video torrent using uTorrent. It is possible that other clients support the feature as well, but that has not been tested by me.
2. Note that downloads need to start before you can look up the information. This is especially important for magnet links as it takes a bit longer before download starts.
3. Click on the video torrent in the uTorrent client.
4. You should now see the list of files included in the release in the lower half.
5. Pick any of the video files listed here. If there are multiple ones, repeat the process for all of them one after the other.
6. Now scroll to the right until the codecs column is displayed. Depending on the window resolution, you may not need to scroll at all.
7. The program lists Audio (A:) and Video (V:) codecs needed here.

While that may not be that spectacular for audio files, it may be helpful in regards to video files that you want to play on your system, especially if you favor a media player that requires external codecs to play most media files.

It may still be necessary to do some research on the codec after you found out what it is. The best course of action is obviously to wait until the download has completed, play it to see if it is compatible, and if not, start to research which codec you need to play it properly on the system.

Rovio's Angry Birds Stella Arriving in September

After first teasing Angry Birds Stella earlier this year, developer Rovio on Wednesday offered up some more details about the avian-themed slingshot game, which will hit app stores in September.
The game opens up a new chapter in the Angry Birds universe, introducing fans to a fresh flock of friends including the pretty pink-feathered protagonist Stella and her pals Poppy, Willow, Dahlia, and Luca, who "share a common love for adventure and fun" but sometimes have clashing personalities, Rovio said. Then there's Gale, a "good bird gone bad, who wants to rule over the birds' island habitat."
The game will take players to the treetops of Golden Island, where Stella and her friends reside. The gang — each with their own powers — must battle Gale and her army of pig servants for control of the island.
"Angry Birds Stella is going to challenge even the most experienced bird flingers!" Rovio said.
The company's CMO Blanca Juti added that Angry Birds Stella will be fun for everyone, but also "celebrates female heroism."
"It's all about friendship and the struggles of six very different personalities" Juti said. "The wonderful spirit of these fearless friends will shake things up across games, animations, books, consumer products and other fun content under the Angry Birds Stella brand."
In addition to the game itself, Rovio in November will debut a new Angry Birds Stella-themed animation series that will air every week on ToonsTV, which is accessible online, through all Angry Birds apps, Roku devices, and Samsung Smart TVs. The first season will have 13 six-minute episodes, each "an inspiring tale of adventure, heroism, and friendship."
