VideoGet v3.0.2.39Comments on: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/videoget-v30239/ free licensed software daily Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:36:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jim http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/videoget-v30239/comment-page-3/#comment-101202 Jim Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:57:04 +0000 http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/?p=3037#comment-101202 While the program is great overall, I find it does not like non-European characters in the names (I have only tried with Japanese - this might also apply to characters unique to non-English languages as well [eg accented characters]). I tried downloading a Japanese video from Youtube. Although the name showed correctly in the "name" field, the filename of the captured file was mojibaked - the Japanese characters of that name were all replaced by underscores. Suggestions to authors: -- If a system supports unicode characters, please give the option of leaving those multiple-byte characters alone if possible. While display/input of East-Asian languages is not installed by default (it adds several MB to the installation), XP and beyond do support unicode in filenames. (Only exceptions are slashes, colons etc) The long-filename API calls are already unicode-friendly. -- Please add, as an option, appending the "posted by" data to the filename. (If videos had the same title, this version just happily overwrote the others without warning) -- Please add a way to manually override the filename to save the file to.

— Please add, as an option, appending the “posted by” data to the filename. (If videos had the same title, this version just happily overwrote the others without warning)

— Please add a way to manually override the filename to save the file to.

i’m glad you got it working… :)

Thanks so much! My only remaining question is: Can I transfer all my "black" .avi files to .flv files, or do I have to start all over from scratch? @144, Violet4714,

It worked! Thanks so much! My only remaining question is:

Can I transfer all my “black” .avi files to .flv files, or do I have to start all over from scratch?

For that reason I prefer to keep the .flv format if it's a file I want to keep. Instead of converting the files to bloat them, there's a great program that's small and free, FLV Player, that I've used for years and just reinstall when there's an upgrade. You can download it at http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html .

Output format says "DivX Movie (*.avi)" and the Video Encoder says "DivX Codec". Are those the correct settings? @139 – Violet4714, thanks for your reply. Output format says “DivX Movie (*.avi)” and the Video Encoder says “DivX Codec”.

Are those the correct settings?
