This is the third giveaway of the day I’ve downloaded based on it being a giveaway as in “no charge”, as in free, that has not come to fruition. One more time and I’m just gonna unsubscribe from this con game

re #74. I totally agree with you, I wish Ahraf would come back. His knowledge and insight are missed. Having tried this program on XP sp2 with no installation problems, I have decided to delete it and keep using DVD shrink (which as someone else said, IS NOT JUST for dealing with copy protected disks).

JohnO @80 To answer your question, "What other program supports the SAME VIDEO formats?" Most others support at LEAST the ones I mentioned. Take a look at post #10. For example DVD Flick - if you visit the website and go to its Feature Page you will see you have many more options available to you. The other free products in Post #10 also have a better support for different video formats than the Extra program. No doubt as you can see - to claim that "no other DVD creator supports such comprehensive video formats like Extra DVD Creator” is untrue. It would be more accurate to say - “no other DVD creator supports such a limited choice of video formats like Extra DVD Creator”.

…apart from this one -> Screenshot
I have completely installed the product – and there is definitely no “Relevant Knowledge” on my PC.

If it still causes you so much distress – I suggest you try one of the other free products listed.

To be honest, the Plato program, although free – isn’t my favorite in the list either.

#10…again (BuBBy)

“as subsequently mentioned by Ron – “Plato DVD Creator Pro” is bundled with “relevantknowledge marketscore” adware. However, you are given an Accept/Decline choice during install. Simply select to Decline the install of relevantknowledge – and you are good to go).”

Well, just for the hell of it I disabled Spy Sweeper and tried to install, then Avira Antivirus blocked the program, period. So, I tried to install again, and Zemana Antilogger popped up with a warning to allow or block. So, then I disabled Zemana Antilogger, and tried to install again…there is NO Accept/Decline choice during install.

To Bubby at #1

What other program supports the SAME VIDEO formats?
I am not talking about DVD disc formas like DVD+R, DVD-R etcetera as they are not VIDEO formats. I have plenty of DVD discs that you can’t put in a DVD video player. :-)

On windows Vist ULTIMATE 32 bit I had to click on CLOSE on the
“Failed to register files” dialogue a few times.

It did eventually install but maybe I should have unzipped the ZIP download and run the SETUP with a RIGHT-CLICK to select
“RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR”?

It may have installed more smoothly then, who knows?

Since the question is “on topic” today, does anybody know of a FREE app that can create a DVD with menu that has the buttons etc. overlaying an actual media clip that keeps looping? That is, the menu appears on top of a looping audio-visual clip rather than a static graphic-only background.

thanks
Brian

I recommend DeVeDe over this program. DeVeDe will create a DVD from your video files (including You Tube FLV) and make it into a ISO from there you burn it (as a ISO) into a DVD using your existing burning program. Google it, it is free and there are Windows and Linux versions.

Thanks GOTD, but I’ll pass this offering up.

Yes all service packs are installed and all drivers are updated. Yet it still crashed registry and then when it said install was complete it crashed every time I tried to load it. Never had any program no matter how generic crash register server before. Deleted…….
