I went to the link in the readme.txt file. clicked the "Get it Now" button, and entered my information and clicked on the "Get Keycode Now" button to request the Registration Code. I received no email with the Registration Code. It’s not in my junk folder either. How do I get the Registration Code or contact their support about this problem?

Update.

Its already morning here, I already email them 3 times but no reply since last night.
It's not my fault when I click get code on their webpage and it freeze up.
Until now whenever I try again, I keep getting the same message.

Message from webpage
This email has already registered for the code. Please check your boxes for registration code.

Until now, still no code email from Leawo.

I love Blu-Ray, but MKVs don't play on my PS3, which I love for the pinball games, and my favorite movies, which I buy as Blu-Ray (in 3D if available).

I backup all my Blu-ray movies to MKV format since I want to avoid wear and tear of the original discs as much as possible.

I´ve been using a program called MakeMKV for this purpose and I´m always very pleased with the results.

MakeMKV copies the original video stream without transcoding ( compression ) and lets you choose which audio tracks, subtitle tracks and chapter points to include in the final MKV file. The process produces a very large file. Usually between 25 and 35 GB.

When and If I want to shrink the movie to fit a regular 4GB DVD I use MeGui / H264 for compressing. MeGui always outputs excellent quality files. I don´t really like the All-in-One rippers/converters since I have never gotten the output quality I expect.

Since today´s give away is supposed to work much like MakeMKV I decided to give it a try.


Installation:

1. Installed on Win7 64-bit without any problems.

2. The registration serial number was emailed to me almost instantly.

3. Registered without any issues.


Usage:

1. The program´s interface is nice and clean.

2. There´s not too much in the way of configuration options. Perfect for noobies or users like me who just want to copy the main movie just as it is without compressing.

3. I´m going to use Batman Begins as a trial disc.

4. The program loaded the movie without any problems.

5. All blu-ray files/clips are selected by default. It would be nice if the program selected just the main movie and then allow the user to select additional clips. Blu-ray discs are loaded with extras and previews and special features so if you just want the main movie, there´s a lot of "un-selecting" to do before ripping.

6. You can then choose which audio stream ( DTS, AC3, other language audio ) and subtitle streams you wish to include in your output file. This is good and expected. I did not see an option to export the movie chapters though.

7. When you start ripping, a progress window emerges with the output name, video duration, estimated output size, ripping progress in percent, pause and cancel buttons. It would nice if it also included: time elapsed and current file size.


Ripping Results:

1. It took a long time to rip the movie. Much longer than what I´m used to. Obviously the program performed video compression.

2. Output file size was 14 GB.

3. The video was compressed with Microsoft´s VC-1 compressor which I have never used before.

4. The resulting video is OK quality, but video looks choppy as if it were dropping frames or as if a reverse pull-down from 23 fps to 30 fps was poorly performed.

I do not like the video output from this program and since there are no available options to be configured, there is no way to fix the output.

I´ll pass on this one. Uninstalled.

My 2 cents for today.

What's with these so-called "recommendations" for handbrake? "I'll stick with handbrake" and so on. Have you even TRIED using handbrake to convert an encrypted blu ray?? I didn't think so. Funny how people are so quick to post non-equal "alternatives" to just about everything that is offered here!

Until now I still havent receive the email key, I notice when I click
get key code hours ago for registering, the webpage freeze for a few minutes, until hours later, whenever I get key code, it keep mentioning already email but i never receive any email from leawo, I even email the leawo tech support twice already, but still no reply.

Any help pls?

Thank you.

Even if the giveaway isn't the best, we can always depend on Giovanni to find great free stuff. Thanks!
Another solution would be to first decrypt the DVD/BluRay to an ISO with DVDFab HD decrypter:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVDFab-Decrypter
Then encode it with Vidcoder, which is based on handbrake:
http://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/115536
Vidcoder is great, and allows you to select individual chapters and subtitle tracks, even add srt files. Also you can select a time range, effectively a simple form of trimming.

#1: "Wouldn’t it be great if it converted to other file types, such as AVI?"

The Blu-Ray format adds a layer [or 2, or 3] of complexity, partly so you can do more with a Blu-Ray, partly for DRM. The actual video is usually AVC, the audio AC3, or more commonly, DTS. Some players can't handle that added complexity, &/or can't handle DTS, &/or can't handle the data rate [bit rate] commonly used on Blu-Ray discs -- not handling the bit rate is something common with devices running/using Android.

The AVC video format works well in .m2ts container files [that's how they're stored on Blu-Ray], in mp4 containers, & as .mkv -- .avi sadly not so much. In fact I've only seen one or two tools that will stick AVC in a .avi file, & using them is/was glitchy. The advantage of .mkv is a lot of players will work with a lot of .mkv options, like multiple audio tracks & subs -- you may be able to use a lot of those options with .mp4, but you run into the problem that few players will enable those options in a .mp4 file.

#9: "Certainly won’t be needing this one with lots of free alternatives available like format factory and the sorts."

Generally speaking you'll probably have to pay for some sort of decrypter, or copier or ripper that includes a decrypter, if you want to bypass the Blu-Ray DRM. There is at least one free copier I think, but no idea how well it works with the latest discs, & DVDFab has a free version, but the discs it will work with is restricted to older titles.

If you use a ripper -- that's what Leawo Blu-ray to MKV Converter 2.0 is -- that's all you need to put a movie on Blu-Ray disc into a smaller video file. If you use a copier or a decrypter like AnyDVD HD or PassKey, then you have to extract the audio, video, & optionally subs, then re-encode them as another step or series of steps. That's where your Format Factory or comparable software comes in. Whether it makes sense to do in several steps what you can do in one depends on the results you're after. If you're going to re-encode the video using the same encoder built into ffmpeg either way, and you're not going to use some special encoding settings, those extra steps may well just be time & effort wasted.

That said, in some cases you may not want or need a smaller file. In that case a copier [like Leawo's] & something like the Tsmuxer Beta might be more what you need. You're just taking the original audio & video & putting them in a file off Blu-Ray, which preserves every bit of original quality because you're not re-encoding anything.

Never received registration code in email, although registration page says email was already sent to that email address when attempting to register a second time.

Haven't tested yet so I'll not rate or comment about it just yet. @ #8 Kondoril, the link leads to Softpedia and IS available because I just downloaded it. Try again.

listen up people if you want to keep this app you must follow these steps: open program and go to tools, uncheck automatic updates as you know Gaotd do not offer updates, upgrades and support for its free software. Enjoy!!!!!

To Leawo Software: what is MKV is that for mobile app or will it play on a Blu-Ray player?

To Giovanni: Please check your download link it is not right. I look forward to your inputs and downloads. so hope you make the corrections. Also that program didn't say it will convert Blu-Ray movies so is this a better alternative? I look forward to your answers.

I still havent received the key after registering on the webpage,
when I try register again, it mention email already sent.

I already email leawo support, hopefully they email me the key.

Downloaded, installed, and registered without issue. Got the registration key email almost instantly.

Converted BluRay of X-Men - Wolverine.

It took a little over an hour to convert the main title, and as noted before all files on the discs are separate mkv files, with no indication of what they were except by file size.

Audio and video quality were good.

Very few options available.

If you want a basic converter just to do the main movie title straight from disc, in one step - this will do just fine.
If you are looking for anything more, this program will not suit you.

You are right...it's probably a server problem!

Try to find a mirror for this elsewhere...

Or better yet try this:

http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free

But if you only need to convert Blu-Ray to MKV just use this GAOTD...

Will this register the Mac version?

#8 Not hard to find if you search for it. Try this:

http://www.freewarefiles.com/Video-to-Video-Converter-Portable_program_79677.html

Certainly won't be needing this one with lots of free alternatives available like format factory and the sorts.

+ Quick registration
+ Simple, and fast (like MKVToolnix)

0 Can split a DVD according to its chapters to separate mkv files

- Help: "Page not found"
- Not able to add DVD/BR chapters to mkv
- Doesn't detect BR chapters
- Not able to mux separate DVD/BR titles to a single mkv
- DVD: mp2 audio stream is not playable after re-muxing to mkv
I didn't check if it may remove copy protection from a disc.

BETTER, MORE COMPLETE and FREE (Portable) ALTERNATIVE:

Note: Handbrake does not natively handle Blu-Ray.

It can be done, but it's a bit of work.

#1. .MKV and .AVI are containers not a filetype in their own right.

I'm not not near my Windows machine right now so won't vote as I haven't tested it, but there's plenty of competition out there for this sort of program.

I'll stick with HandBrake thanks.

I could certainly use a converter, and I was happy with Leawo's BluRay Player, which was given away a here. However, it installs just fine, but the registration/licence dont show up in my e-mail box - even I did everything as adviced. I'll recommend, you use Toolwiz Time Freeze, if you take the chance to inststall this giveaway. Excuse my English writing. Greetz from Denmark
