Thank you, Susan.
I hope GAOTD will fix this serious problem, there are still many of us that use XP, and are now unfairly deprived.

I received a very helpful e-mail from sharewareonsale explaining activation and how to verify activated. Both the Blu-ray on the laptop and DVD Copy on the desktop show activated. Thanks GOTD and sharewareonsale.

No, this software will run, tried it with an integrated gpu, no problem.

I don't know how it can get any easier!!

1. Install program
2. Click on activate
3. enter the details exactly as found in the readme file included in the zip file

I agree with Glen, I really don't know what the problem is. Pretty straightforward.

It does raise some flags. Zonealarm keeps throwing alerts when it tries to call the mothership, every time the program is ran, the system asks if it's ok to "make changes" to your hard drive, etc... a few edits to the host file stops the zone alarm alerts but the changes to the hard drive each time it's ran does raise a flag as far as I'm concerned. Many pro's on my system, this is the first one that does this EVERY time I run it. Got the program off sharewareonsale.com but looks like the download comes from the same location. You can get the blueray version over there too.

These programs do not crack DRM. They only work on non DRM discs such as home movies.

Save your BluRay registration email and password and DVD copy email & password .
So when you need Just DVD copy just activate it with the DVD copy email password.
It stays until you need BluRay copy. Just use that email and password to activate the bluRay.
No big Deal.

This registration was nothing compared to one two or three weeks ago (HDR Projects 2) that took six steps of e-mails and confirmations. It was amazingly complex.

Same thing happened to me - then installation crashed. Program is in my Start Menu and I can open the program but I don't know if it's complete. Haven't tried to activate yet because I don't want to restart my computer right now.

Not all Blu-Ray discs have Cinavia. That said, you can use something like MakeMKV [you can find & download at videohelp.com] to put the title video, audio, & subs into an MKV file container, & then use one of the many media player devices. You will have to research whether it has Cinavia support or not [you'd want Not], and whether it will support Blu-Ray video bandwidth as-is, or if it will have to be re-encoded, which also makes for a smaller file. You'd also have to decide if you want to access the video over your home network or play it from local storage, like a USB drive -- note that you *might* have to beef up or add to your home network setup if you want to play full bandwidth Blu-Ray video from a networked drive.

It's a time-limited offer --- see quote below (nowhere does it state the period of time though).

"Price:
The program is available for $56.99,
but it will be free for our visitors
as a time-limited offer."

I can understand that being a bit confusing, but it's referring to the offer to install from Giveaway of the DAY. It has to be installed by midnight Pacific time.

@Doug Robinson,

Here's the link, sir:

http://sharewareonsale.com/s/sothink-blu-ray-copy-giveaway-coupon-sale

This developer does offer a Blu-Ray disc copier, albeit at an even more eye-watering -- and uncompetitive -- price than the $57 it seeks for this product.

Aside from the difference between the two DVD types, the developer also publishes a caveat on its website that 3rd party decryption software will be needed to make its Blu-Ray product perform as promised. Though no such caveat appears in regard to this non-Blu Ray product, it's impossible to believe that Sothink is able to provide decryption for one type but unable to do so for the other.

Absent built-in decryption, it's therefore impossible to see why it thinks it can get away with charging $57 for an outright purchase of DVD Copy 1.0 or the downright bizarre $37 recurring annual license fee. In any event, what it is charging for was accomplished as long ago as 2005 by DVD Shrink, as free today as it was then, available from here and *only here*:

http://www.dvdshrink.org/

Though development ceased 10 years ago, DVD Shrink is still in use by thousands of folks worldwide (including myself) and is actually so good that criminal scam sites proliferate on the Internet, all of them purporting to offer DVD Shrink (at a price), several of them even incorporating the word "official" into their urls so as to make you think you're dealing with the real thing when, of course, you're not.

I've encountered Sothink's copier before and couldn't for the life of me understand what the company thought it was doing, pushing out something at so high a retail price in a market where competition from many a different freeware offering left it for dead. I can't fathom why it should think anyone would want to download and familiarise themselves with today's giveaway when the price of re-install is so astronomically over-the-top. This developer really could do with a wake-up call if it wants to succeed in this overcrowded softeware sector.

It seems that we can only activate one or the other, not both.

Great Suggestion Doug!
Thanks to "Mick" for being so generous as well.

The BD programs only work on non DRM discs.

DVDShrink won't download.
