<description>&#60;p&#62;SuperAVConverter (mysupersoft.com) is the best converter I have used to date. I liked the software very much! First of all, it has a great user interface and very easy to operate. Any beginner like me can finish my task without problem. It does what I need it to do. SuperAVConverter supports almost all audio and video file formats that you imaged. The quality of the conversion with SuperAVConverter is very good, but with some formats and settings. The software gives you the options to change the audio quality and the video quality to make it better. It doesn't take that long too convert a 1-&#38;#38;-a-half-hour movie with average qualities. It only took me about 27 minutes. The converter can also convert more than one file at one time, which supports multiple video and audio files or all files in a folder. Moreover, SuperAVConverter supports some more recent file types (eg. FLV, 3GP) and includes a portable engine for iPod, PSP(offers a absolute PSPUploader) and Mobile Phone files conversion. In this way, you can export formats that are widely used in different MP4 players and portable devices. I can now put all my favourite videos on my phone! if you've tried converting files into ipod-ready mp4, you'll know that most programs have a delay between the music and the video. This program converts effortlessly, without any delay, so your videos are prefect. It runs smoothly! Has no Spyware, no Trojans, no Adware, no Bugs, no Malicious 3rd Party software included with it. It is fairly fast audio&#38;#38;video converter.

<description>&#60;p&#62;No problem, anytime.  It's good to look over that site from time to time. &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.vnunet.com/downloads/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;www.vnunet.com/downloads/&#60;/a&#62; You can get some free programs on there from time to time that you would otherwise have to pay for.  I hope you all like the Ashampoo program and sometimes Ashampoo even gives away freebies if you are on the newsletter.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I thought I originally got Ashampoo Photo Commander from GAOTD, but I don't see it in the archives.  Anyway, here it is ALMOST free.  I'm not sure how long this offer will last, but here is a link to buy Photo Commander 5 for $9.99.  They regularly offer very good deals on their software if you will sign up for their newsletter.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Get the Deal here:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://r.ashampoo.com/r.php?ri=7ixvanlq6v&#38;#38;u=5049815&#38;#38;lk=55mLBCMm&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://r.ashampoo.com/r.php?ri=7ixvanlq6v&#38;#38;u=5049815&#38;#38;lk=55mLBCMm&#60;/a&#62; &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This unfortunately named software is my FAVORITE video player.  Yes, video!  And audio.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here's their own description:&#60;br /&#62;
&#34;Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 is an all-in-one application for organizing, editing, sharing and presenting photo collections. It also features additional creativity tools and audio and video management capabilities, making it a complete media management package.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There are a LOT of photo editing tools:&#60;br /&#62;
&#34;You can generate web albums of your photos that you can post on your home page. You can send your photos to friends by email, create collages, calendars and greeting cards, add picture frames and vignettes, insert text bubbles, add text, create slide shows and view them on your computer or burn them to CD or DVD, complete with a viewer program so that anyone can play them. You can also back up your images to CD or DVD, also without leaving the program.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;See more details about the program here:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/product_2_0718_.htm&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/product_2_0718_.htm&#60;/a&#62; &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;No, I do NOT work for them.  I'm just a fan.

<description>&#60;p&#62;two questions&#60;br /&#62;
what does &#34;bump&#34; mean&#60;br /&#62;
what does &#34;Here is a bump of another thread from the same company kevinyunlai :)&#34;&#60;br /&#62;
I'm not joking, I'm kind of new to this country and my English is not too well&#60;br /&#62;
anyways,&#60;br /&#62;
Desktop Icon Toy turned back into trial to me too Swan&#60;br /&#62;
I'm not complaining, because I did not like it that much, but the point is we are not getting full version, just extended trial&#60;br /&#62;
I'm guessing that companies do this on purpose&#60;br /&#62;
1. if you are &#34;complaining&#34;, means that you like the software and that you might buy it (they are completely wrong....)&#60;br /&#62;
2. if you are not &#34;complaining&#34;, then it means you don't like/need the software so it does not matter if it works or not

<description>&#60;p&#62;Yes it did have some problems back in 5.1 or 5.2 (rough guess) there were a few issues - one was an incompatibility when you had xVid and DivX both installed - you had to install xVid turning off an option to decode all FourCCs.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There was also a problem with DivX's ability to preview / thumbnail files and if you tried to bring up the context menu (right click) on a file or folder - explorer would keel over.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I think these happened shortly after the release of XP Service Pack 2 - and thanks to lots of user &#34;feedback&#34; the DivX developers fixed the problems in their code.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Luckily - I avoided it all because I only use Xvid. :)

<description>&#60;p&#62;Lee and Bubby .. doesn't DivX have a long and colorful (well, the vocabulary lessons are colorful) history of crashing Windows Explorer?  Seems to me I remember making regedits to repair my last go-round with DivX. Perhaps it was just older versions?

Many thanks for the info. Does the Divx format give good results? I confess that I've found that Xvid tends to give a better quality conversion for me, but if this is an improved Divx codec, that difference may have disappeared now.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I downloaded this last night, but I've just tried to convert a DVD to avi, and it tells me I don't have the necessary mpeg plug-in. Have I downloaded from the wrong link, or is it necessary to buy the plug-in separately to use the conversion program?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Well I-Sound had a bug in it which turned it back into a trial version. The version was fixed here. Thanks to abyssmedia!&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;I didn't remember seeing anything about Audio Converter Plus. But I just checked mine and it switched back to a trial version too. Maybe we need to contact abyssmedia about this one too.

Apologies for misunderstanding you. Obviously, if a GOTD program automatically tries to update itself, that's going to be a problem with some giveaways as new versions are put on the developers' websites.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Sorry, I guess i wasn't clear. My point is that the program appears to attempt to update itself automatically, with no option provided to the user to abort or disable the process. (At least, if there is such an option, I couldn't find it.) In any case, I started the program, got the message &#34;Your software is out of date,&#34; etc., closed the dialog box (there is no &#34;cancel&#34; button), and voila, it had crippled itself. I didn't go to the Abyssmedia website or attempt to download an update or upgrade. I just tried launching the program normally.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;When a program is provided by GOTD, it specifies this is the version you'll get, and that no updates will be supplied. So I think, unless exemptions are made by the producers, that if you try to update it, you'll find your GOTD version will revert to a trial version. Best not to risk it, I think, if you want to continue using the program free. Otherwise, if you want upgrades, you'll probably have to buy the full version of the program.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;I downloaded and really liked both i-Sound and Audio Converter Plus. Recently, both have reverted back to crippleware. In each case, I launched the program and it apparently checked for an update from the Abyssmedia site. I got a dialog box informing me: &#34;Your version is outdated, please go to the abyssmedia site to update&#34; (or something similar) with an &#34;OK&#34; button. On clicking OK, I got a nag screen telling me to register. On checking the registration section of the prefs, I see that the Giveawayoftheday username is still there but the registration code is gone. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I see now that a patch for i-Sound has been made available. I wish I'd thought to check the forums earlier. I liked i-Sound so much that I actually bought a copy. So... kudos Abyssmedia for a nice piece of software. I'd rather not pay for the converter, though, given that there are so many functional alternatives out there. Is there any chance of a similar patch being made available once again? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I know this problem was mentioned on another thread (&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949&#34;&#62;link&#60;/a&#62;) but it looks like there haven't been any recent posts so I'm adding a new one. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks,&#60;br /&#62;
