We've gone through more than 1,000 companies to get down to the final 50 (okay, 52) that will present on stage at TechCrunch50 starting later this morning. We will be covering all of the companies as they present onstage or shortly after. But for now, here's a list of all the companies that made it (except the last one, which will be picked from the DemoPit by the audience at the event).

Three DEMO Companies To Keep An Eye On Jason Kincaid Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:00:11 -0000 This week we're going to see dozens of companies launch new products. Here are a few of the companies presenting this week at DEMO that are showing some strong potential:
In most cases, choice is a good thing. But when it comes to online video, the abundance of content available on the web can be overwhelming. ffwd (pronounced fast-foward) deals with this by picking your videos for you. The site uses video meta data as well as user behaviors to create virtual "channels" of video, which are essentially dynamically updated playlists.
Rudder shares a lot in common with Mint, a personal finance site that debuted last year at TechCrunch40 (and won the conference's top prize). Both sites present financial data in attractive, intuitive graphs. But Rudder is taking a slightly different approach: while Mint analyzes your past spending habits to help you adjust in the future, Rudder is concerned with telling you how much you have available to spend on a given day.
Photrade
With image piracy rampant on the web these days, a number of startups have sprung up to help users easily obtain legal pictures. Photrade has a similar goal, but it also manages to help casual photographers make some cash in the process.
All The TC50 Diggs, Feeds, Tweets, and Blog Posts You Can Handle Erick Schonfeld Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:57:00 -0000
I know where I am going to be checking to see what people are saying about TechCrunch50 this week. The TechCrunch50 Aggregator. It is a site developed by Sean Percival to collect all the Twitters, FreindFeed comments, blog posts, news stories, photos, videos, Diggs,and Techmeme headlines that are tagged "techcrunch50"or "tc50."
Even right now, in the middle of the night before the show starts, you can see a picture of the team still unloading boxes, read Robert Scoble lamenting via Twitter that nobody has yet leaked the list of TC50 finalists (ha!), and other various opinions. RealNetworks Lets You Copy DVDs to Your Hard Drive — And Keep the DRM Don Reisinger Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:00:37 -0000
As anyone with a lick of tech knowledge knows, ripping a DVD onto your hard drive is, well, frowned upon by the "Powers that be" in the motion picture industry. Realizing that, RealNetworks has launched a new solution called RealDVD, which lets users copy DVDs onto their hard drives without facing legal troubles. Even better, it only takes about 20 minutes to do so. Sounds great, right? There's only one catch: it keeps the DRM.
After copying the DVD onto your hard drive, you can't transfer the movie to a friend's computer, so you'll be stuck using your own. Much like iTunes, though, RealDVD lets you authorize five computers to play the movies on the hard drive.
