<description><![CDATA[This is probably the first application from Giveawayoftheday.com that I keep using on a regular basis. It ripped some of my DVD's in 30 minutes, to 1.6 Gb DixV AVI's. This file size is a bit high, but the picture and sound quality and the simple enough UI make this a worthwhile installation (as a free giveaway).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Concerning the response by the software publisher I feel that they took too long before responding and clarifying their position regarding access to the Internet.  Many viewers will not see their late response - damage has been done.  The free offer should be made again with clear information given by the company.  I for one did not download the program because of the concerns raised but following their clarification I would happily download and install the program.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As far as what Steve (#4) claims about the supposed illegality of disc ripping,I really can't comment on USA laws because I don't know them that well - still, it's a widely spread idea that they tend to be much more restrictive, in every sense of the word, than those generally accepted in Europe.
What I can tell for sure is that when one buys a DVD (or a book; or a CD, for that matter) one already is paying, included in the overall price, a copyright fee that should give him the right to make 'backup' copies of that product, as long as they are intended for private use - as opposed to profiting. In this sense, and in agreement with many western countries legal provisions, I see no illegality whatsoever.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[the whole debate over legality is pretty much moot now, isn't it? I mean, I stopped purchasing ANY DVDs--and sold on ebay/amazon all the ones I had accumulated--a half decade ago when I started my Netflix membership. You see, ANY DVD that I wish to see is now two days away from my door. Period. So why buy one? Why copy one? The whole concept of "ownership" is now meaningless, as any DVD on my shelf will simply sit there untouched.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed on Vista Business SP2 no apparent problem. Registered, no apparent problem. When I restarted it, it was no longer registered and all, sorry most, of the Button text disappeared. "Basic Settings" "Save As" "preferences" "Browse" and "Open" buttons still have text, others do not.

I have to wonder what it is doing with up to 50% of my CPU cycles when it is just sitting there empty, nothing loaded (including the missing buttons]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I tried the program out and here is what I found:

To all of you complaining about the program accessing the internet all you have to do is block it with a good firewall such as Windows 7 Firewall Control or if you are using XP Ashampoo has an excellent free one. When I inserted a DVD and it asked to access the internet I blocked that as well. Now I can open the program and successfully rip a movie with no problems or firewall warnings. I ripped a 2 1/2 hour movie in 32 minutes.

To the person who used the idea informer who said "Needs an uncheck box feature"....it does. Just click the box to uncheck all and then check the longest title.

There is a great feature to save custom settings. I changed the standard DivX options to my liking and then saved it with a custom title. You aren't limited to the descriptions in the drop down boxes either. For instance you can type in 624x352 under the resolution and it saves it. You can also type a custom frame rate and so on.

Another excellent feature is the "Clip", "Effects" and "Merge". All are self explanatory and seem to work great.

mediAvatar DVD Converter seems to be easy to use and has a lot of output options which I like. I will have to do more testing on the output quality but so far I like it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ken, comment # 6, if you  read the EULA  during installation it will tell you why this program connects    to  servers  off site.  It's to check  that the registratio is legal.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In response to those who are wondering about why DVD Converter phones home, the answer can be found in the EULA that you clicked through.
