Best True Crime Podcasts of All Time

Posted | Category: Applian Software, Podcast, Replay Radio.

After a long day of work and running errands, we all crave some downtime. When we’ve already made it to the bottom of our Watch List on Netflix, but still crave some entertainment, nothing beats a riveting podcast to wind down for the evening. One of our favorite podcast genres is true crime — some of the best storytelling goes on here! If you’re like us and looking to dive into some amazing tales that feature award-winning storytelling, we’ve got the list to get you started! Check out the 5 best true crime podcasts of all time, that we still can’t get enough of…

Serial (Season 1)

If you can believe it, we first mentioned this fan-favorite podcast all the way back in 2014! It’s the year 2020 and Serial is on its third season at the time of writing, but we still can’t get over the first one. From the very first episode, you won’t be able to tear yourself away as you’re taken back to Baltimore in 1999, and hear the story of Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, who disappears after school one day.

Six weeks after her disappearance, detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He maintains his innocence but Adnan also can’t exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. A classmate at Woodlawn High School is sure she saw Adnan in the school library at the time of Hae’s murder. The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found.

The Vanished

The Vanished is a weekly podcast that focuses on the stories and circumstances of missing people — hosted, narrated and written by Marissa Jones. The show’s aim is to focus on and bring attention to cases that never made it to national headlines or are long-standing cold cases, typically involving people who are drug users or sex workers. Each episode features interviews with the friends and family of the missing person, and on occasion with local law enforcement.

Wrongful Conviction

Wrongful Conviction, hosted by Jason Flom, is a podcast about tragedy, triumph, and injustice within the justice system.. Based on the files of the lawyers who represent them, joined by other criminal justice activists and experts, the podcast features interviews with men and women who have spent years in prison for crimes they did not commit – some of them having even been sentenced to death. From the lesser-known to high-profile such as that of American Amanda Knox, you won’t forget their stories.

Dirty John

The Dirty John podcast was released in October 2017 and quickly received immense public praise — so much so that Netflix picked up on the hype and produced a TV series based on the true story of Debra Newell, a successful interior designer, and the man she meets: John Meehan. John is the kind of man Debra has been waiting for: handsome, attentive, available, and recently returned from a year in Iraq with Doctors Without Borders. Debra’s family doesn’t like John however, and they become grossly entangled in an increasingly complex web of love, deception, forgiveness, denial, and ultimately, survival.

Criminal

Hosted and co-created by Phoebe Judge, Criminal is an award-winning podcast that features stories of people who’ve “done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle.” The podcast launched in January 2014, with new episodes coming out twice a month, and is now one of the most popular podcasts in the world. New York Magazine describes the show’s writing as marvelous, clearly depicting crime as “something sociological, historical, even anthropological — that crime is a function of people, time, and place.” Tune in to check it out for yourself!

Now that you have your choice of the best true crime podcasts of all time — as we see it, anyway — all you need is to get recording so that you can play your episodes on repeat like we do! Not sure how to get started? Check out our handy tutorial to Replay Radio, and start feeding your affinity for true crime podcasts.

What Are We Looking Forward To?

A Knight’s Tale (2001)

If the Heath Ledger nostalgia has hit you, and you’re in the mood for a good chick flick, you’ll want to catch A Knight’s Tale. It’s the story of peasant-born William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) who wants to change his fate, believing that he is destined for greatness. He enlists in a jousting tournament, masquerading as a nobleman so that he can participate, and begins his quest to glory. In the process, he wins the heart of a fair maiden and challenges societal and class norms.

Jurassic Park (1993)

It’s a Spielberg science fiction classic that millions across the globe came to love. The first installment in the Jurassic Park franchise by Michael Crichton is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, near Costa Rica. The story follows businessman John Hammond and a team of genetic scientists who have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. Industrial sabotage eventually leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park’s power facilities and Hammond’s children struggle to survive on the island, now controlled by the very species meant to be controlled.

Immigration Nation (Season 1)

Immigration Nation is a highly-anticipated, six-part series that gives us a rare inside look at the machinery of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The series covers the spring of 2017 to the winter of 2019, following changes to immigration policies implemented by the Trump Administration. Directed by Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau, the series explores both sides of the debate over immigration in the U.S. 

Les Misérables (2012)

There’s nothing like a good musical that pulls at the heartstrings. Based on Victor Hugo’s book, the Les Misérables story is set in the early 19th century and begins with Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), who after 19 years as a prisoner, is freed by Javert (Russell Crowe), the officer in charge of the prison workforce. After breaking parole to start a new life for himself, Javert vows to bring Valjean back to prison. Eight years later, Valjean meets Cosette and becomes her guardian after the death of Cosette’s mother. However, with Javert’s relentless pursuit, peace and quiet is far from reach.

Rising Phoenix (2020)

Featuring Paralympians from around the world, Rising Phoenix is a ground-breaking movie about the paralympic movement, and will premiere on Netflix all over the globe on August 26. The film release was planned to coincide with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but it will now form an important part of the celebrations leading up to the Games in 2021. The film tells the fascinating story of the Paralympic Games beginning after the devastation of World War II, to the modern day Games as we know them, the third largest sporting event in the world. The Paralympic Games sparked a global movement that challenges each one of us to change the way we think about disability, diversity and human potential.

With this noteworthy selection of TV shows and movies, where do you even begin? Our recommendation: grab the latest version of Replay Media Catcher to capture the shows and movies that are leaving Netflix this month so that you don’t miss out, and can watch them on your own time!

How Online Video Streaming Technology Has Changed

Posted | Category: Applian Software, Replay Capture Suite, Video.

Today, technological advancements are being made faster than ever before. With companies everywhere releasing regular updates to their hardware and software, we are able to do more with greater efficiency and ease. However, this fast pace of change can make it difficult for technology consumers — us — to keep up. Which shiniest gadget to buy? Which software update to install? As it turns out, choosing great software is often much more important than choosing the machine that runs it. With the most up to date version installed, you’ll benefit from the latest features including important security updates, bug fixes and compatibility enhancements.

Recently, online video streaming technology has changed dramatically, and its popularity increased exponentially to match.  So much so, that many companies have been built on offering online video streaming as their main value proposition. The shift comes as no surprise, as in the last ten years online video has become essential to how people are entertained, how students learn, and how businesses communicate. In fact, a recent report estimates that more than two-thirds of global consumer internet traffic is already comprised of video. 

In the last decade, the most notable changes to online video streaming include:

  • An increase from 10% to 80% of online videos that were encoded using the H.264 compression format (the most commonly used format for recording, compression, and distribution of video content) in a span of just two years, between 2010 and 2012
  • A near-complete shift away from historical Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as a means of sharing video. With HTTP, a video first needed to be downloaded before playback could begin. Now, users have shifted to custom protocols and servers built for a new type of online video delivery called streaming — what we rely on today
  • The rise and fall of multicast as a means of online video delivery
  • Introduction of Smooth Streaming by Microsoft, HLS, HDS, and DASH, which have driven a resurgence in HTTP-based video delivery

Most users have seen first-hand how greatly online video streaming technology has changed, thanks in part to the long list of applications and offerings available, such as YouTube and Netflix, just to name a few. However, the biggest changes have taken place under the hood. To avoid security and compatibility issues in particular, companies have needed to update their hardware and software over the years in tandem. At Applian, we’re no different! Our experts stay up to date on the latest developments, so that our customers can capture and download online video safely and effortlessly. 

With the Replay Capture Suite, you get access to seven incredible programs in one place, and the ability to record any online video of your choosing. Replay Capture Suite gives you the tools to record virtually any format streaming online, and on any device. To get the most out of our software, make sure that you’ve downloaded the most recent copy, which will let you capture and download video with ease, without needing to worry about the latest developments in the online video streaming ecosystem — we take care of that for you!

Make sure you get the latest version of Replay Capture Suite today to get started with capturing your favorite online videos.

Top 6 Video Conferencing Platforms of 2020

Posted | Category: Applian Software, Facebook, Hangouts, Replay Telecorder, Skype, Virtual Meeting, Zoom.

Over the last few months, video conferencing has served as a temporary substitute for various in-person interactions such as professional meetings, social hangouts and entertainment. As a result, we now place a greater reliance on video conferencing platforms for all of these important moments.

While most of us are likely familiar with the best-known video conferencing offerings such as Facebook, Skype, Zoom and Google Hangouts, there are other platforms out there that you probably haven’t heard of, but deserve your attention!

For all of your virtual work-related and social hangout needs, we’ve rounded up the top 6 video conferencing platforms of 2020. In no particular order, check them out…

For Enterprises

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is the ultimate corporate video conferencing solution. Designed for seamless efficiency and collaboration, it integrates with Office applications like Word and SharePoint, while its design and infrastructure make it incredibly interactive. It also integrates with Skype for Business.

Microsoft Teams gives other collaboration tools like Slack, who have dominated the market over the last few years, a run for their money — especially because its video conferencing option is just as impressive and powerful as its chat function. Users can launch video conferences directly from their chats, too!

Skype for Business

Skype for Business comes packaged with Microsoft Office 365 and takes the free, standard capabilities of Skype to the next level. It’s an inexpensive solution that doesn’t cut corners, nor does it skimp on the most important features. Video call quality is good and the service is reliable!

All Skype for Business plans include:

  • Unlimited meetings
  • Screen sharing
  • Instant messaging
  • Top-notch security
  • Conferencing for upto 250 participants
  • Effortless integration with Microsoft Office programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook

Zoom

Zoom is one of the most popular video conferencing platforms out there — its user base has exploded in the last few months. It has a number of features that make it an ideal option for businesses.

Its free plan includes all of the basic features for video conferencing. Users are not restricted to a limit of meetings, and they can join with the Zoom app or by calling in from a phone line. Video quality is good and the audio can be heard clearly on fast internet connections. Businesses will especially like that with Zoom, users can share screens and annotate with whiteboard functions. It also integrates with Google Chrome and Microsoft Outlook.

For Individuals

Google Hangouts Meet

Google Hangouts Meet is an affordable, no-frills video conferencing solution for businesses and individuals who regularly host video meetings, remotely manage teams, or regularly work from home.

However, as the platform’s features are pretty basic, including its enterprise tier, we recommend it for users looking to make personal video calls or organize social video hangouts. For a truly enterprise-level video conferencing tool users will need to look elsewhere — one of the options above, as a start!

As many of us are GSuite users or at the very least, have a Gmail account, Google Hangouts Meet is accessible and incredibly easy to get up and running.

Facebook

Recently, we discussed Facebook’s launch of its suite of new video messaging and live streaming features across all of its platforms. We were particularly impressed by the announcement of Facebook’s new Room group video chat feature. With this feature, users can create a private video chat room and select the invitees, or take advantage of open hangouts when a Facebook group or event has a video chat happening.

At a time when community has become all the more important, Facebook has become a go-to for those wanting to stay in touch with family and friends.

Houseparty

Houseparty has been a saving grace for all of us looking to stay connected with our social networks — it’s a video conferencing and games room platform all in one! Available for iOS, Android, Mac and PC, it allows up to eight people to video chat at once in a “room.” Users can have unlimited rooms and easily switch between them. Users can stay in the know with notifications when a friend is active on the app. That way, you can join in a chat with your friends (and friends of friends) at any time!

Users can spice things up by playing games including Houseparty Heads Up!, Trivia, Quick Draw, and Chips and Guac! What’s not to love?


When it comes to linking up online, the possibilities are endless thanks to a plethora of impressive video conferencing solutions. Whether you’re dialing in for a business meeting or catching up with friends and family, you’ll be sure to find what you need in one of our picks above. Couple that with the right tools to make sure that you don’t miss out on a single minute and you’re good to go. Our pick? Replay Telecorder. It can record any video conferencing applications in background mode, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted connection for when you need it most.

Getting started is easy. Get your group together, start your video call, and make sure you have the latest version of Replay Telecorder, so that you can save the most important moments for later.

4 Documentaries That Will Change the Way You Think About Planet Earth

Posted | Category: How To, Netflix, Replay Capture Suite.

During these the past few months, there was a shared, global surge in awareness about the impact that humans have on the planet. With significantly lower levels of air pollution in main city centres such as Paris, Beijing and New York, the ability to witness bioluminescence in oceans, and the return of wildlife back to cities, humans’ impact on the planet has never been more apparent. For those of us who are most curious about the flora and fauna of the planet, we’ve corralled 4 documentaries that you simply must watch — they will truly change the way you think about the earth!

Night on Earth

There just isn’t another documentary out there that comes even close to Night on Earth. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, the docuseries takes us from the African Savanna to the Peruvian desert to show us the lives of predators and prey, and how closely they are linked to the moon’s cycles. Shot completely during nighttime hours, you will often forget that the images on-screen were recorded in complete darkness. Let Night on Earth lift the veil of the night’s darkness and discover a whole other world you’ve never seen.

Chasing Coral

It was just a few years ago that we began to take notice about experts’ warnings regarding the disappearing coral in our oceans. The scientific community has found that warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching — an unfortunate phenomenon that takes place when the water is too warm and corals expel the algae (zooxanthellae) that lives in their tissues, causing the coral to turn completely white. While a bleached coral is not dead, and in fact corals can survive a bleaching event, they are under more stress and are at risk of dying. With that in mind, Chasing Coral is about a team of divers, scientists and photographers around the world who document the disappearance of coral reefs, providing an eye-opening look at the often irreversible human impact on the planet.

The Ivory Game

In this saddening look at the illegal ivory trade in China and Hong Kong, The Ivory Game directors Keif Davidson, Richard Ladkani and their crew spend 16 months undercover to investigate the killing of elephants for their tusks and the smuggling of ivory to China. While the trade is illegal, there is a thriving black market where corrupt business practices and dealings occur, constantly feeding the demand for ivory in China and Hong Kong, where it is seen as a status symbol. The film takes viewers from Tanzania, Kenya, and Zambia to China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, with a brief stop in London.

A Plastic Ocean

Award-winning documentary, A Plastic Ocean, is an adventure film that was shot in more than 20 locations over the span of four years. Explorers Craig Leeson and Tanya Streeter plus a team of international scientists explore the fragile state of our oceans to reveal the alarming causes and consequences of plastic pollution, while sharing working solutions that can be put into immediate effect.

Want to uncover more shocking and amazing truths about Earth? Don’t miss out on all of these must-see documentaries about our beloved planet!

How to Learn a Language Online

Posted | Category: Google Hangouts, How To, Online Classes, Replay Telecorder, Skype.

So, you want to study a language? Whether you’re starting from zero or brushing up on what you already know, taking your language learning online is a convenient and efficient way to achieve fluency from the comfort of wherever you are. What’s more, with an online learning setup, you don’t have to worry about spending a great deal of time finding a teacher with the right profile for the language you want to  study.

Online classes can be scheduled whenever suits you best, and with the help of Replay Telecorder, you can record your classes as you go and review them as needed. You’ll be well on your way to greater fluency in no time.

With that covered, let’s get you started on your online language learning journey with a few helpful tips to hit the ground running.

Choose an Online Language Learning Platform

With the growing popularity of online learning, there are many language learning platforms to choose from. However, there’s one that stands  out in terms of pricing, quality and the overall user experience of the platform:  iTalki. Unlike many other platforms out there, iTalki’s offerings are impressive — everything from Punjabi to Slovenian to Vietnamese. The possibilities here are endless. On iTalki, you can view a teacher’s profile, which typically includes a video introduction, CV and more information, before signing up. There are plenty of student reviews for most teachers, which shows that students are engaged with the platform. Plus, before you buy a pack of classes, nearly all teachers offer a one-time trial class to let you meet and decide whether their teaching style works for you.

Decide Which Language You’d Like to Study

Once you’ve created an account and acquainted yourself with the iTalki platform, next you’ll need to decide which language you’d like to learn. Have something specific in mind? Perhaps you need to learn or brush up on your language skills for school or work, or you may have the luxury of choosing whichever language strikes your interest. If you fall into the latter group, one good way to narrow the choices down is to think about whether a particular language might come in handy for your personal travels. For example, if you’re planning a backpacking trip to South America in the near future, Spanish would be the logical choice. However, if you’re eyeing a trip to the Great Wall of China, Mandarin would be sure to help you out!

Find a Teacher Whose Profile Matches Your Needs

After landing on the language of study, next you’ll need to find a teacher whose profile interests you, and more importantly, meets your needs. On a teacher’s online profile you are able to view their reviews and professional experience. So, for example, if your goal is to master grammar in a given language, it may be a better idea to choose a teacher who has at least a Bachelor or even a Master degree in that language. Or, if you are a complete beginner, try to find a teacher that has a degree or equivalent experience in teaching that particular language as a foreign / second language.

Otherwise, if you’re looking for a more engaged conversation partner for example, who will be diligent about correcting mistakes and encourage you to speak, the qualifications likely won’t matter as much as their personality!

Start Your Classes!

It goes without saying that once you know which language you’d like to study and have secured a teacher, it’s time to get learning!

Our Top 3 Most Memorable NBA Games from the Start of the 2019-20 Season

Posted | Category: Applian Software, Replay Video Capture, Stream & Save, YouTube.

On June 4, the NBA Board of Governors approved a competitive format to restart the 2019-20 season with 22 teams ready to return to play, with a tentative start date of Friday, July 31. While this is one of many formal steps required to resume the season, it looks like we’re on track to get our NBA basketball fix shortly!

In the meantime, the NBA is working to finalize its comprehensive season start plan, alongside the National Basketball Players Association. Both organizations are working and consulting closely with infectious disease specialists, health experts and government officials to ensure the health and safety of players and spectators alike. 

The aim is to establish a rigorous program to prevent and mitigate the risk related to COVID-19, including a regular testing protocol and stringent safety practices. The season restart also relies heavily on an agreement with The Walt Disney Company to use the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, which would serve as a campus for all season games, practices and housing for the rest of the season.

Until July 31st rolls around, now is as good of a time as ever to dust off your copy of Replay Video Capture so that you’re ready to save all of your favorite games — you’ll never go hungry for basketball again!

Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors – January 22, 2020

The 76ers arrived in Toronto with a two-game winning streak while on the road. Philadelphia’s Josh Richardson would end up straining his hamstring early in the first quarter, unable to return to the court later on. Though the two teams were tied at half-time, it was the Raptors who came out on top with a 22-point lead over the 76ers, finishing with a final score of 107-95, with Vanleet leading the Raptors in points at 22, sinking an impressive six three-pointers out of 7 attempts.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks – March 6, 2020

When the top teams from each of their respective conferences show up to the court, you know it’s going to be an exciting game. What could be more telling of that than Jay-Z’s looks of disbelief and delight in response to the Lakers’ performance, from where he sat courtside? Don’t be fooled though — the Bucks put up an impressive fight, and the teams were tied at 38 points at the half. In the end, Lebron James was unstoppable and completely dominated the game, coming out on top with 38 points and a whopping 8 assists!

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers – November 18, 2019

Kawhi Lenoard’s absence on the court was very apparent during the Clippers’ matchup with Oklahoma City Thunder. Through most of the game, it seemed like the Clippers’ offense wasn’t doing much, but they tightened up on defense and squeaked by with a small win over the Thunder, whose roster includes a couple of former teammates.  Paul George succeeded in sinking a 3-pointer against his former team with just 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter, lifting Los Angeles over Oklahoma City with a very close 90-88 game.
