- DVDxDV allows users to extract video from DVDs. It can now export video from a DVD directly into iMovie, allowing users to import video longer than 8 min (about 2GB) by breaking up a long DVD video into small enough segments for iMovie import. DVDxDV Pro allows you to extract multi-channel audio into individual 24-bit AIFF files (one file for each channel). Demos of DVDxDV 1.083 ($25) and DVDxDV Pro 1.022 ($80) are available online.

- AddressBookToCSV 1.0 (free) is a "one trick pony" whose purpose in (artificial) life is to export contacts from the Mac OS X Address Book to a form gmail can import.
