    I'd been looking for a good free DVD to avi converter, so was delighted when I found Freez DVD ripper, which was simple to use and gave excellent quality in xvid format. However, please read the comments on this link about Freez Flv to AVI/MPEG/WMV from the same site, as I am now worried about using it again:

    I have contacted the producer to say I found the program very useful and I'd be happy to send him $5 if he gives me his Paypal address--but that he should make it clear if a registration fee will be required. (No reply so far.)

    Follow-up,
    After using the Freez DVD Ripper, I did get a registration request, but it was for voluntary FREE registration. I chose not to register then, and was able to continue using the program as usual.
    So I now have no reservations about giving this utility a big thumbs-up.
    Just a couple of down points--sometimes the program cannot find a valid title on a DVD, so cannot do the conversion, and there is no option to limit the size of the converted file, so if you wish to fit it on a CD, you'll have to compress it further. (But why not put several files on a DVD instead? But if you're not too worried about size, do try this program, because the Xvid option gives really outstanding quality results. I would be impressed if this were payware--but for freeware, it's just too good to miss.

    Okay..grrrrr. 2nd follow-up. I went to register 'free'--and this is the message I got:'The free registration has been closed for the huge website traffic.'

    It will now cost $29.95 to register.
    I repeat: grrrrrr!

    I installed Freez Screen Video Capture some time ago and it crashed, I emailed them giving them all the errors etc and they have yet to reply weeks later.

    I get the feeling they are pushing their luck.
