<description><![CDATA[Makes Chrome and IE8 crash when installed. Extra components installed. Tried downloading from a page, and for some time it showed that it was downloading 3 swf files, but these files are not in the download folder. There is a 'processing now' folder including a bunch of zero sized temp files. I run Windows XP on a MacBook. Crash report is way too long to be pasted here.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[AVG reports this as a virus and removes it from the system.  I would like to find a way to make this work, but until it does there is only a very negative experience.  What should I do?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I really don't get it. This was in the product description on GOTD, no doubt provided by the software provider:

"Convert the downloaded video and transfer it to your mobile devices."

It was because of that very line that I downloaded the damn thing in the first place. If I wanted something to just rip the videos from whatever site in FLV format, I'd just use the free RealPlayer feature! Why would I pay for this piece of crap when it's asking me to pay again to download a video converter from another site when I want to convert my files to something my MP4 player can read?

I'll make it absolutely clear again... DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS if you want something that would convert online FLV videos to something else like MP4 or MPEG, unless you want to pay for a seperate video converter. A free (and much easier) alternative would be the RealPlayer add on. It's a million times better than this software.

In any case, thank you GOTD for your efforts. =)

*sigh* Now I just hope I won't come across any problems uninstalling this damn thing...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(As #86 Alt Brown also commented)

As a wannabe entrepreneur, I always wish the best of luck to the software developers who offer their products for free here on these pages in the hopes of expanding sales and getting useful criticism.  

Hey, at least they are trying to take some initiative by putting in a lot of hours being productive to earn a living -- it's a lot of work, whether or not they have a competitive/"winning" package.

I earnestly wish the same to the RipTiger developer.  

And although I realize that sometimes one has to "jumpstart" the market to get noticed and get sales going (this GOTD being one such method), it is rare that I've seen such obvious "plugging" for this product as I noticed over on the CNET site customer review pages when looking up info about the file "inpsniffer.dll" on Google:

RipTiger 2.7.9 User Reviews:

  http://download.cnet.com/RipTiger/3640-13633_4-11117349.html?tag=uo;uo

RipTiger 2.6.1 User Reviews:

  http://download.cnet.com/RipTiger/3640-2071_4-11012091.html?v=1&amp;sb=1&amp;tag=uo;uo

What is odd/unsettling about all the 5-star comments (all with no "cons" to speak of) is that they are all clustered on certain days, as though every couple of weeks someone decided to take a break from doing something else and go post a bunch of glowing reviews that day.  

All the occasional less-than-5-star reviews occur on other/independent/single-comment days.  Suspicious?  You decide...

Meanwhile, let's hope our GOTD users post some honest comments based on actual use, pro and con, to allow today's offering (and those on other days) stand or fall on it's own merits.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed &amp; activated with no problem following the readme.txt. I am  not able to download the “extra” components. It fails every time and tells me to restart the computer. XP PRO SP3.

***** DANGER *****

I am using IE8.  This program completely destroyed my IE8.  It would not run.  As soon as I put an address into the address bar it crashed with error reporting to Microsoft.  IE8 is not usable.  I had to uninstall RipTiger and reinstall IE8.  Use this program at your own risk if you really think it will be worth all that trouble after reading the comments above.  There are too many trouble-free other programs available that will do the same thing.  It was just not worth the hours I spent restoring the damage!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Re: 63
I did get it to activate and register.  This is the full version, not their ultimate version.  So as previously stated, their website indicates only the ultimate version(and, funny enough, the trial version also) record from hulu or other websites with streaming video with commercial breaks etc.  

After installing, I tried it on Hulu and also AOL video, and it did not work on either.

Note that the program would not download the additional add-ins/upgrades for me either.  In addition, during the install of Riptiger, the install program brought up a window to uninstall WinPCap which is a component for programs that allow you to monitor your network traffic.  This seems very odd for a program that is supposedly spyware free.

This program does not seem to allow me to download anything other than the free downloader imbedded in the free Realplayer includes.  And the free downloader in Realplayer is much easier and a lot less obtrusive.  And I am sure there are many other examples of free software out there that let you do the same thing.  Maybe the Riptiger ultimate version is much better, but they should have done that as the free giveaway today and maybe they would have got some loyal customers and much better "free" press for the future.]]></description>
