Mr mr,

I'm sure everyone gets your point ... but these things are given away, literally twice a week...
most are the same re-branded junk that any free converter can do...so that's like more than a hundred a year...
if you have been coming to this site for any decent length of time, you'd notice that unique, innovative and actual helpful programs are showing up less and less often...lately, most of the time it's converters, file recovery junk or rental ware garbage...I mean...can someone explain why people need these things...my TV plays just about anything from a usb drive without converting it...if not ...streaming services are everywhere...
and if you're converting it to watch on a smart phone...well...that is just stupid...
won't even list the free stuff out there...
as well as the fact the wonderful Moderators...rarely show my comments anyway.

Mr mr, and if you've used them and don't like them don't forget to post constructive criticisim so the developers can learn what they maybe doing badly and improve... simples!

Eman Lim, try again. It's working for most people. You must be missing something.

zafufu, weird 720p is classed as HD video and 1080p is FHD and 2160p is UHD.... are you sure the alleged 720p video truly has a vertical resolution of 720 pixels many downloaded videos claiming to be 720 do not always exactly fit the dimensions of the 720p specification. You can always use the always free handbrake or xmedia recode and you won't be constrained to unreasonalbe input format demands.

UPDATE: Using Firefox browser, there is no green button. Using IE, there is.

Steve, NO they mean they bundle a dumb web server module to share html indexes of folders that can be just raw media files that if you have wi-fi can be served over your wi-fi but it CANNOT CAST ANY MEDIA TO ANY RENDERER via any recognised *casting system. You have to have a media player on the "recieving end" that can make the http request and make sense of a dumb web servers output which most SMART TV web browsers cannot so is practically useless. You are better off setting up a free instance of servio and creating a comprehensive DLNA media server to stream your media content over your LAN.

Steve,

Quoted from their own website (using link in info box above):

"Wirelessly Share Videos for Flawless Playback Experience

After conversion, you can get the latest videos to your PC and share them onto portable gadgets in the same network for smooth playback using the free media server plugin. You may choose to scan the resulted QR code on your iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Nexus, Sony and many other digital devices. Or simply input the url to the address bar of web browser to enhance your video experience on big TVs."

I have not yet personally tried it myself, though.

ALL of GiveAwayOfTheDay Programs ARE Safe!

David Wellman, erm no they are not. you obviously have only just joined the party. i've been here since the beginning.

Hmmm........

Which version of Windows? Usually when you get a warning it's a false positive.

David Wellman, you obviously are into marketing speak... giveawayoftheday.com DO NOT PROMISE THAT all programs offered as part of the project are SAFE, just that they are FREE OF ANY KNOWN MALWARE... the safety of any individual program is down to the contributing developers intentions and programming competence and wisdom which giveawayoftheday.com have zero control over. Also some programs are inherrently UNSAFE like driver updaters and software updaters and registry and filesystem cleaners and system optimisers, even if they are programmed correctly to name but a few. Video converters can cause harm to a system if they register their codecs with the system and alter the pre-exisitng codec encoding/decoding priorities or register older versions than what were already registered on the system reducing stability and performance choices that may have been made prior to installing said software. To name but a few ways programs offered CAN BE UNSAFE.

Also some giveaways are barely tested products with bugs because we may be used as a ready pool of unpaid alpha/beta testers too and that is not a role for the inexperienced computer user as often such programs ARE UNSAFE by definition and can require system recovery using system restore or a backup system to regain a stable system!

riccipottan, I don't know about the beginning, but I've been here for years. But those who can't make them work, think it's always some virus infection. All you need is one spurious report for any reason and the panic button gets pressed. If you want something instructive folks, actually go to your A-V provider's website next time you get a virus report and check out their entry for that virus, if they even have one for you to inspect. Then you can marvel at all of the blank entries with no info. about what it is, what it does, why it's bad, etc., etc.... Most hits are either from spurious reports from users or from heuristics. Heuristics are good idea: they don't hit on virus reports, they are the next line of defense, they watch for suspicious behaviour but generate TONS of false positives. But one persons suspicious behaviour is not anothers. It's like your forgetting your keys and breaking into your own house. To an observer, you look like a thief. GOTD uses a wrapper that prevents the key from being hacked so it can only be used on the day it's given away. But anything that prevents any program, including your AV, from borrowing into it will ALWAYS set off heuristics. "It's not your house, you're a burgler!"

Can't be helped. But, if you can't find an explanation of what a hit is, it's probably a false positive. In any case, it's just a pain sometimes, because, if you're appropriately cautious, there's much software you'll never be able to use because it will always give off a hit. And all GOTDs will because of their anti-hack wrapper. No good answer. But don't believe rumors either.
