I agree with Anon from before on a few bit’s of software:

DVD Decrypter : Rip (and customise with DVDFab) DVD videos. (Now DVDFab, not free, check torrents.)
DeepBurner : Burning media. Also allows CD images to burnt to DVD (useful for some software when you only have DVDs.)
K-meleon : Very lite browser, uses the Firefox engine.

and some less mainstream stuff:
Luigi Auriemma’s DAA2ISO and UIF2ISO : Excellent alternatives to the irritating MagicISO and PowerISO.
bin2iso : same, but for *.bin files.
docXConverter : converts docx to rtf and xlsx to csv. limited trial, but if you delete everything but the exe the counter is reset.
ffdshow : newer betas of ffdshow appear to handle virtually everything codec wise.
Moitah’s FLV Extract : Easily rip the MP3s from those downloaded Youtube videos.

And some Firefox plugins:
GBookmarks and Gmail manager : For those who only use Google Toolbar for Gmail and Bookmarks.
DownloadThemAll! : Useful embedded alternative to DAP. Can mass download linked images and videos (cough.)
Flashkiller : Kills irritating embedded flash selectively.
IE Tab : View the odd non-Firefox compatible page within Firefox.
(and some ones that barely count as lite but I find useful)
Context search : Search using any of your engines from the context menu.
DownloadHelper + Firebug : Steal any embedded media, then download it quick with DTA. Works well in conjunction with OVGuide.
PicLens : Good for Facebook addicts.
ThumbStrips : A visual version of your history.

Very well! Are you dudes agree with me? When I read it I was like: oh man!Sounds great! This is just what I was searching for! All is true, and checked, I’m sure.

VLC can struggle to play high def content on older systems (single core or DDR)

Codec packs like CCCP can make this worse.

I use MPC and ffdshow for mpeg-4

I use MPC and CoreAVC (not free, but look for torrents) for x264 (inc high def)

Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative can be downloaded without CCCP

I still have VLC installed because it is undoubtedly useful from time to time.

This is a great list. Thank you for compiling it. I will bookmark this and check out the rest of your blog.
And regarding Avast, I find it works great and causes the least amount of problems.
