KooRaRoo is now a 64-bit application!

Most modern computers run a 64-bit version of Windows, so why use 32-bit software that does not run optimally on your latest-and-greatest CPU? KooRaRoo Media DLNA server now has a 64-bit build, which you can use on your OS to get the best possible performance.

There are other new features in this version (1.5.0) such as ISO DVD images streaming and support for downloading music and video thumbnails from the Internet.

More and more devices are supported by KooRaRoo

With almost every update (which come out at regular intervals) KooRaRoo fine-tunes its support for more and more DLNA-compatible devices. Out-of-the-box, KooRaRoo will work with any DLNA device, but for the best experience it provides specific device definitions that fully describe a device.

If you have a device that doesn't yet have a specific device profile, please contact http://support.kooraroo.com and we'll create a profile for you!

A video of streaming videos to the XBox360

One of our users has sent in a great video showing how he can use KooRaRoo to easily organize and stream videos to his Xbox360.

Take a look:

 

KooRaRoo now supports burned-in subtitles!

As promised, KooRaRoo Media will now allow you to burn subtitles in your language and using a chosen font style, size and color, on top of the video if your device doesn't support streaming external (SRT, SMI, SUB) subtitles. This will allow you to watch foreign movies with ease and also learn a new language perhaps! The first version of KooRaRoo to support this is 1.4.0 - see this forum post regarding full release notes: http://forum.kooraroo.com/showthread.php/189-KooRaRoo-Media-v1-4-0-is-now-available

Enjoy!

Burned-in subtitles are coming to KooRaRoo

One feature that is often requested is the ability to burn external subtitles (such as SRT, SMI or SUB files) on top of the video to show these subtitles on devices that don't natively support external subtitles (or subtitles as embedded streams).

I am happy to say that initial development of this feature is complete and I'm looking for more testers to try it out.

If you are interested, please e-mail support (at) kooraroo (dot) com and I'll send you a copy of KooRaRoo to try it out.

Oh, and a Happy New Year to all! :)

Marketing services as a vital part of growing your business

One of the most important things in creating a successful business is letting people know about it. After all, you can write the best software (or create the best product), but if no one visits your site or finds you through search engines, then it's all worthless.

Getting the word out about your product is not as easy as it may seem and there are many ways to do this.

One such way is to get noticed by large sites and print magazines (and newspapers). To get into those, you'll need a properly written press release. Writing a good press release is usually left best to professionals, who know what to write, how to write it and to whom to send it. I can recommend one such company - DP Directory (http://www.dpdirectory.com/) headed by Al Harberg. I've used Al's services numerous times and he always created great content and has done it with a great degree of professionalism. It's always a pleasure working with him. DP Directory also provides site overview services (called "Rent Al's Brain" - see this page: http://www.dpdirectory.com/artic001.htm) and it's money well-spent!

Well, I'm off to continue development and promotion of KooRaRoo Media. Give Al's services a try if you need your site looked over by someone who understands selling software or if you need a press release written and distributed.
