BitRipper is an onclick DVD ripping and conversion program that lets your create AVI or Mpeg from DVDs. bitRipper is handles the decryption and encoding of the DVD video in just one click unlike other applications that have tones of wizards.
Unlike other applications that starts processing your files from the DVD/VOB files after the DVD encryption/protection is removed BitRipper consolidates the ripping and conversion parts of into a single process that eliminating the long waits.
Previously BitRipper was a commercial product that only recently became freeware. bitRipper does not support filetypes other than AVI, so it might not be the best option for the time being. Still a magnificent tool and its free.

Do you have a problem remembering all those passwords from different social networks and websites that you visit daily. Assuming that you aren’t an psychotic alien, you won’t remember each and every password thats why we use Firefox’s built in password manger lets you save your entered user ids and passwords and retrieve them later when you visit that particular website thus make it whole lot easier to login.
But for some reason Firefox tends to corrupt itself and thus I normally end up loosing all those credentials, thus i have to meticulously enter each of them again and again. Password Export, a Firefox addon, is a useful addon that lets you export your saved passwords or say back them up, so that you can retrieve them later.

Wondering how to upload all your office documents in your mac to Google Docs at one go! Gdocsuploader is tiny little application that lets you upload your office documents to the cloud in one click. Gdocsuploader is awesome because of the cool drag and drop documents. It snuggly fits into your Dock, Finder sidebar, or desktop. Gdocsuploader is still new and as expected quite buggy. Except some trial and errors before it works properly. Gdocsuploader is a free download for Mac OS X only and its certainly not OS X Tiger friendly.

Windows Mobile and PDA devices do have a copy/paste function but if you are a serious copy paster then it may become a pain! ceSnipURL, a free link-shortening app for Windows Mobile-compatible devices, does what SnipURL, TinyURL does on your desktop, shorten urls. The utility automatically puts URLs from your clipboard into a conversion window when you launch the application. After conversion is complete, the new URL will be copied to your clipboard. From there you can then enter shortened URLs in text messages, tweets, or other messages etc.
ceSnipURL is a free download for Windows Mobile 6 and compatible devices only.

Youtube search feature is a little slack, I was wondering when they will let us search videos while a video is still playing.
YouTube Fast Search is a great web application built on the
YouTube’s API lets you play videos and search for new videos at the same time. You could also built a playlist from search results and add new videos to the playlist without interrupting it. Asides from the dynamic search, the nice drag and drop interface goes well with the concept.
