ah! I missed the chance to download this cool tool. :(

I have been wanting some software like this for ages, it does exactly what i want it to do, copy my film DVDs to ipod format. It is really easy to use, it was free and doesn't take to long to copy.
Many thanks.

I found the program to be quite useless and sorry I bought it. It will not rip copy protected material. I will stick with AIMERSOFT DVD Ripper, it is easy to use and the support is great.

Alison, Your activation code comes with the set up file sent by GOTD.
It is behind the box that is asking for it. Just move the activation box and there it is behind the box. It has been there all along for you each time you tryed to install your new free software. Many have cared about you and others having trouble. That is why we post here at all.
You sometimes need to think outside the box a bit, and try a few things.
Some times here most folls know you need to look a bit to get the job done, but hey dont you feel so good when you nut out a new problem.
Just move the box that is asking for the code, and there it is behind waiting to be copied and pasted in place.......enjoy.

Alison, I can see now what you are asking. It is against policy to post activation codes publicly. In fact, it could even be illegal. The advice that everyone is giving you will work, if you follow the directions.

Boy, why have people answered me with the installation setup sequence when every foll knows how to install a program from here, when I wasn't asking how to activate the software, I was asking for the details for activating the program. In laymens terms, I need someone to post a copy of the activation details as I can't access them when I try to install, I get an error. I only hoep there is someone who actually cares about other people who could simply copy thier activation codes and paste it here so I can activate my version. Admin have just chosen to ignore my pleads for help, maybe they don't care about us or they can't be bothered to simply send a little email that wouldd take them 10 seconds with the activation codes, but they haven't contacted me once, nor has anyone else tried to help me. It seems to me that I would be happy to help others, but that feeling is so one sided as no one can be bothered helping me. Why do I even try for something so simple.

What a great way to say what is so so true.
Some things in life will need to be paid for at some stage.
This site gives people a chance to have a good look at software and see if it suits their needs.
If you really love a program then buy it. Not every good thing in life will come for free.
This page is for advice and review not for complaining as so many cheap scates do here.
Please understand you are not the only person on the net.
This is not all for you only.
kind regards to all

Whiterabbit,
i had the same problem yesterday with the GGOTD site, using Firefox. Works for me now. i've also noticed the site taking an exceptionally long time to update at midnight. Anyway... you're not alone. And, yes, your reviews are missed.

To NO:17 and the others who dont read well.
1 Download
2 Read the readme file
3 Start the install
4 Copy username and password from the screen that pops up
5 Paste info into correct location on the activation popup
This takes 20 seconds to do and the program is good to go.
PS this is one great ripper.
I have used it for over 100 rips in the past...enjoy what is good for you and leave the rest for others.

Hmmm...

I am running it on Vista Ultimate. Tried ripping a short DVD. It seems to stall at 96.37% and never completes.

Switched the executable to XP service pack 2 compatibility and tried again. Same problem - will not complete. Anybody else having this issue?

Wow, how many DVD rippers does a guy need? 2-3 each week is a bit much.

To #41, Have you ever got Aimersoft Video Converter from giveaway? It can convert video to audio format MP3 or WMA, it also supports flv video. Then you can use Windows Media Player to burn the audio to CD and enjoy them on your Home CD player. Here is Aimersoft Video Converter giveaway link
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/aimersoft-video-converter

Dvd Shrink is much better, and free

This program doesn't actually rip the DVD, it converts it into a file that is much much lower in quality. The output files are made to be seen on devises with small screens.

IT is a good website.
i have found good softwares from this site.

Thanks #22 for sharing the 'comparison' about Aimersoft and today's giveaway (which was very helpful comment to 'avoid' us to install too many similar 'Utility tools' in our PC)and thanks BladdedThoth's great review too. However, can BladdedThoth or anyone that been with GOTD site for quite a while advise me that which converting video softwares that gave away before can perform the function of convert a video to 'Audio CD' only? Cos those sw given away before is either 'Audio' or different 'Video formats' only. If non can, is there any freeware that is easy to use (hopefully don't take 'century' to convert a Video file to Audio formats for a home CD player to work. I am trying to convert some FLV music video from e.g Youtube to a 'playable audio format' for Home CD player. Thanks a lot will appreciate any helpful advise.

Have a great day anyone. :)

It is very inconvenient for us users.I really like some all-in-one software such as Cucusoft Ultimate DVD + Video Converter Suite. It can meet all my needs for my videos and DVDs. I hope Agogo Team would refer to this software.

Nice review, hempman. Which of the for pay rippers do you recommend?

BTW, I just read Bladed Thoth's review. I did not have the problems with modern copy protected disks. I use both AnyDVD (commercial retail) and DVD43 (free from either afterdawn, doom, or free-codecs). As I always run one of those to rip my DVD's, I did not see a problem.

Agogo DVD Ripper is ok. It is well behaved in a multi-head/multi-monitor setup. The program itself, as well as requisite dialogs all appear centered in the primary monitor.

While some DVD Rippers work well with region free DVD player/burners, this one does not. I could not even get it to work with region free player/burner with a program that usually gets around that problem for me. That's OK, most people have regular DVD player/burners.

The interface is clean and simple to use. Although utilitarian, it is pleasant to look at.

Openning Output, one is given one the option of opening a DVD, or opening VOB files from a hard drive. If one has a DVD ripper that copies VOB files to HD, this is a nice option. I like that even though Agogo does not support region free p[layers, it still left me the option to try.

Output is fairly straightforward. The only thing a little confusing is that to select the target output format, one has to click one of the balloons at the top of the dialog. While this is cute, it is a little less than functional. Still, once you get used to seeing them it is not really a problem.

AVI DivX is supported, and properly labeled (unlike other Rippers that insist on calling DivX simply AVI (it is not - DivX is a lesser version subset of the AVI format).

Also supported are formats for VCD/SVCD, iPod (an mpg format), PSP QVGA, 3GP (both QVGA and QCIF), and finally Pocket PC (both QVGA and VGA). Selecting each one presents one with a selection of available options that appear below the input file conversion options.

In the input conversion opitions, one is presented with a pull down list of available titles to rip. Some people like the trailers and such that come on some DVD's, or special features, so this is a nice feature. If all you want is the main movie, look for the largest title. This could also be useful for re-authoring a DVD.

Below that are options for selecting the audio tracks to convert. In my tests, it properly listed all available audio tracks, including 4 channel, Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 7.0 and DTS.

The other available input conversion option is for subtitles. I found this to be slightly problematic. It did not consistently find available subtitles. I do not know exactly why, just be aware that it may not always work.

The next section of the Output Settings dialog is for setting the actual output file options. Selecting one of the balloons for output file format at the top changes the available options.

I won't go into every available format option. Let me just say that they are appropriate for the ouput format one has selected.

I did note a few problems here. It seems like the video size options available in DivX, iPod, PSP, 3GP and Pocket PC is the standard by which the conversion will be done. For instance, in selecting the XviD, one can only select 320X240 with a range of audio outpuc conversions.

Changing the Video Size option to make a larger picture did make the resulting picture larger, but is seems like it was only a blowup of 320 x 240. The larger picture is loaded with blocky artifacts, much like one would see if one simply made the player window larger. The same was true of the other available formats.

Output format options also include frame rate (always select 29.97 if you intend to watch the resulting file on a TV. Other rates will still play, but there may be flickering or darkened image problems. Doesn't make that much difference if you will watch on a computer based screen, though.), Video bit rate (the higher the better, but at the cost of larger files), Audio bit rate (higher = better, larger file), aspect ratio (here is where i noted another problem - Although I selected 16:9 and tested it with a widescreen movie, it still came out as 4:3), and audio sample rate (higher = better, larger file).

A nice feature is that for VCD/SVCD, one can not only select output to either PAL or NTSC. While I do not have a specific PAL player, on playback the window looks like I would have expected.

Avaialbe for VCD/SVCD are options to split the file to fit larger files on CD's. It worked fine, and I did not have a problem switching disks. I say that because some rippers do not properly split the files and getting subsequent CD's to play is sometimes problematic. Not in this case.

Other selections on the Output Settings dialog include the output folder. I save my movies on a 500 GB portable USB 2 HD, so this is a bonus.

You can have the program sutdown the computer after converting the movie. I did not try this, so I can't say if it works right.

Also available is a button to Preview DVD Scene Pictures. It did not seem to do anything. Whether I selected it or not, I say the preview pictures.

This program is probably one of the best I've seen here for DVD Rip/conversion, despite the problems I found. The one thing I'd like to see (besides better large frame conversion quality) is a straight VOB Rip.

While I personally will not be keeping this one, it would be a nice addition for anyone who simply wants to make reasonable quality backups of thier DVD collection.

One last note. If you have a problem playing back any of the converted files, you are probably missing a codec, it is out of date, or perhaps corrupt.

Go to www.free-codecs.com and look for either ffdShow (it has a few bugs, but works almost all the time), and/or the XP codec pack (also a little buggy, but not as much as ffdShow). ffDshow requires an up to date DirectX installation, XP Codec Pack should work with whatever you have.

All in all, Agogo DVD Ripper is a nice program. Get it while it is free. However, the asking retail price is too high, given the lack of VOB rip support. There are other commercially available rippers at this price that do support VOB rips.

To #22, if you're looking for free DVD Ripper, you may try DVD Decrypter and Handbrake, they are both free and easy to use
DVD Decrypter (Win): http://www.copy-hd-ripper.com/software/dvd-decrypter.html
Handbrake (Mac): http://handbrake.m0k.org/

I have used GOTD for a while now and this is the first software programme that hasn't worked. When ripping a DVD it stays stuck on 0.03%, anyone else on a Vista system have this problem?

DVD shink , DVD decrypter mixed with Nero (older version) does everything I need.

The problem that some are experiencing is because the GOTD servers are being bombarded with requests. Some of you may know of this effect as "the Digg Effect" or the "Slashdot" effect or a DDos attack (of course DDos in terms of http requests, there's no malice intent).

The server is unable to deal with so many requests, and quickly the sql server starts sputtering out errors due to the server load. GOTD is a victim of it's own popularity. Anyways, this is the first GOTD that I've actually downloaded and going to install and probably use.

Hello all! Today's 15-Minute Review is up! Check it out!

http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/agogo-dvd-ripper-v6-87/

A few days ago I had the same difficulties installing on Vista! I recommend the following; so it worked for me!

1. Uninstall
2. Restart your computer in safe mode with networking!
3. Reinstall and restart windows normally

If this recommendation works on you, please thumb up!
Thank always GAOTD!

For the people having problems installing, I have found that the window with the reg key hides if you allow the program to launch after inastall. So, either uncheck the box to launch Agogo DVD Ripper, or carefully minimize each open window. There should be one that says "Successfully Activated" (it has the check boxes to add GAOTD to IE/Firefox favorites/bookmarks), and the User name and Registration Key will be in that dialog window.

Having just installed this, I will be back with my take in about an hour. I hope that this one is nice. I do not usually bother with conversion at the same time as rip, since that is a long process. But, many people look for such a feature.

BTW, if you have not discovered it, the Game site seems to be working now. One can see that yersterday was a big problem; there's one lonely, cryptic comment.

#12 I agree with you 100%; we need the BladedThoth reviews back for sure!

what different with other DVD ripper?

while installing this Agogo DVD ripper my threatFire had discover a high potentially malicious program Local Setting\Temp\Rar$EX00.093\setup.exe and for safety reason i quarantined the process from installing.

#4..i don't go to the game site however i was having a ton of problems getting to THIS site all day saturday. my computer even locked up. there was some coding on top of the gaotd page so i figured that that might be part of the issue.

I have to wonder how much thought went into a program that greets you with the message: "It's time to back up your DVD moives."

After taking another look at this software, I realized it's exactly the same software as A-one DVD ripper, which I downloaded from GOTD a few weeks ago. Same shit, slightly different wrapping. I'm not kidding, it's more a matter of different skins than different apps.

Personal favorites: CloneDVD and CloneDVD Mobile

WOW. Another DVD ripper. How many are there?

For a good DVD Ripper, you cant go past RipIt4Me. Freeware. And yes you can still get it. Its all I use.

To #10, I installed Agogo DVD Ripper on my Windows Vista Home without any problem, but I couldn’t run it as same as #8. Does this software support Windows Vista Ultimate but not Windows Vista Home? Or did I miss some steps?

To #3, yeah, Aimersoft DVD Ripper is the best DVD Ripper I have ever used; I love it so much, if GAOTD could rerun it, I would be so happy. I have compared Agogo DVD Ripper with Aimersoft DVD Ripper, it seems Aimersoft DVD Ripper is more powerful and provides more options for setting. And I found that Aimersoft has released the Mac version
http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac.html
Hope GAOTD can run it as giveaway, coz I need a free DVD Ripper for my Mac OS X leopard.

Able to download the .zip file but not able for setup.exe to validate key. Would there be a problem sitting behild a firewall/proxyserver?
Cheers.

wow,
it just so happens that i needed a dvd ripper a few days ago, so i bought one. and 4 day later it comes on gaotd... lol

Stephen, I was having problems accessing the game site yesterday too, until I logged onto the forums and learned that it is due to Firefox. So, I logged on using IE. However, I have just logged on to the game site now with firefox and everything seems to be tickety boo. So, try it again now.

I too apologise for using the GOTD site to talk about the game site.

I don't mind trying out yet another DVDripper.
This piece of software is easy to use due to very limited options. Very limited number of output formats available (I'm talking about resolutions, not filetypes). Not possible to split tracks and record all chapters separately (good for music videos in particular), or even to extract one chapter (think you can do this manually by searching for the start- and endpoint).
All in all I'd say this is primarily for people who want to rip entire films to 320x240. It's certainly not a way to back up your movies.
And it does seem to work with Vista. However, my test-rip (for ipod) just finished, and Quicktime says there's an error in the file. Uninstalling now.

Please if someone reads this, please provide me with the activation sequence asap. Thank you. I am awaiting a response.

To #4, I also am not getting through to the Game Giveaway site??????

also getting "…The page cannot be displayed……"

Iam having the same problems as #4. I havnt been able to see anything on the game of the day site. And dang it the game today looks like something I would like :-(

Thanks Hamstergirl, looks like my reviews will be stopping until I sus out how to fix it. Can you pass on to the community over there the info as I know some people look out for my reviews. weird
The games arn't too much of a loss as I have several hundred including all the most recent releases, although there is the very rare occasion that a gem is given away. Sorry to impose on the giveaways comments section to talk about this, and I'm sorry tp those whose said they have come to rely upon my reviews. I'm sure Swan, Merril, Hempman and Game Seeker will fill in the bits,

Hello Guys,
i can not get connected with the GOTD site after the setup.exe entry.What's going on ???

I visited the website of the publisher; they don't even skreek English! Bring back BladedThoth reviews please!

Please Help. Is something wrong with this software as this is the first time I have downloaded something that after installation, I get errors popping up. Afetr I install and it starts to give me the registration info, I shuts the program off with providing me with an error. I have tried downloading several times and the same problem. No matter what I do, I can't activate the Agogo DVD Ripper. Can someone please post the activation details here for me so I canh activate it. I need the name and code, it wont provide me with them. Thanks.

To #3, I have installed the program and on my PC it is compatible with Windows Vista. I am converting a DVD at the moment with no problems. I am running Vista Ulitimate, I hope you find this info useful, good luck. Thanks GAOTD for an excellent program.
