Test Pattern Maker is a free Macintosh utility for generating video and audio test patterns. Accurate test patterns are essential for properly calibrating your equipment and letting others know the levels you have used in your video production.  Because different video editing systems use different video and audio levels and formats, it's difficult to find accurate tests for a specific system. Test Pattern Maker makes it easy to generate just the tests you need in the format you need them.

  • EIA Color Bars

  • EBU Color Bars

Free Streaming Media Calculator
Download To Your Computer or Use The Online Calculator

Plan to stream your media over the Internet through a streaming media host? If so, you're probably looking for a service provider to host your media. Streaming media hosts usually charge based on required disk storage space. Knowing how large your media files will be, after you encode them, will help you estimate your costs.

Don't pay for more disk space than you need. Don't get charged extra because you ordered less space than you required.

All you need to know is the length of your media in minutes and seconds. (Example: 2 minutes, 25 seconds or 2:25) The calculator does the math for you and calculates your disk space requirements.

WinMPG Video Convert v1.0 - Convert video to and from multiple file formats with this versatile program.

SuperDVD Player v4.0 - Play DVD movies on your desktop with extensive viewer control options.

The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.


Prelinger Archives is a collection of over 45,000 "ephemeral" (advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films. It is located in New York City and San Francisco. Since its beginning in 1983, its goal has been to collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven't been collected elsewhere. Included are films produced by and for many hundreds of important US corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, and educational institutions. The collection currently contains over 10% of the total production of ephemeral films between 1927 and 1987, and it may be the most complete and varied collection in existence of films from these poorly preserved genres. The owner is Rick Prelinger, who has presented these films through public screenings, lectures, and a number of anthologies published on CD-ROM and laserdisc by The Voyager Company.  You are warmly encouraged to download, use, and reproduce these films in whole or in part, in any medium or market throughout the world, for any purpose whatsoever.


Sony's Screenblast site includes lots of free stuff - including video and music clips, sound effects, still images, borders, title cards, etc. The video clips run the gamut of Abstract, Animals, City Scenes, Explosions, Nature, Outer Space, People & Crowds, Rural Scenes, Special Effects, Sports, Suburban Scenes and Vehicles.
