Yeah, more DVD software... I was curious so I headed to Google. Millions & millions of people in the US are buying video DVD & Blu-Ray discs -- more DVD than Blu-Ray it looks like. I didn't see hard numbers for the EU, but then I wasn't *That* curious, so didn't spend much time. I did find that Sweden is the 1st country where more people are expected this year to pay for streaming media vs. packaged, while in the UK 73% prefer buying discs. Bottom line, millions of people are buying DVD & Blu-Ray discs. That's a pretty large potential market for DVD & Blu-Ray related software. That's probably a pretty substantial number of GOTD visitors. My guess, & it's just a guess -- I could be wrong -- is that if no one downloaded these sorts of video apps GOTD wouldn't offer them, but fewer people are vocal about doing stuff the movie industry keeps trying to send people to jail for, regardless the courts saying they cannot.

So, what about AnyMP4 DVD Tools?... The package consists of 4 individual apps with a common, but optional launcher. Good is the fact you can get rid of what you don't want or use, & assuming you do get rid of one or more parts, you'll wind up with less bloat than you'll get from integrated all-in-one video software, e.g. the Leawo & DVDFab products that include everything, regardless what portion(s) you use. Bad is the fact that because they are separate apps you've got a lot of duplication from one to the next -- in that respect the more integrated solutions are more efficient. It depends on how many of the apps &/or functions you use.
The GOTD is newer than the trial download, which won't register anyway, and does include a 2nd app with the optional launcher that the trial does not -- sonderangebot.exe. Google & the 1st page of hits is made up of virus scan reports - the ones I read say it's clean. No idea what it does, but since the launcher only adds overhead with no benefit, I didn't try hard to figure it out either. Faster/better as far as I can tell to just run the individual apps normally.
The software seems current BTW, with the .exe files all dated 8/29/14. A comment was made that many of the files in the programs' folders are a couple few years old... That's pretty much standard for any of the video apps out of China. You don't see it all the time because many companies combine or recompile free-ware &/or open source source code, so you see the newer date when it was compiled. If you want to use software with the latest versions of everything use free-ware or open source apps, like the Simple x264 Launcher v2, which is updated when new versions of the components it uses are released. The downside is that you also get to experience any new bugs or regressions.
The Copy app copies the contents of a video DVD to your hard drive as a set of files or an ISO image. The BIG variable with DVD [& Blu-Ray] copiers & rippers is whether or not they'll manage the disc's DRM -- Assuming they do, one copier is often pretty much the same as the next, the exception being apps from companies like Leawo & Fentao [DVDFab] that let you copy just the main movie, & DVDFab's feature of jumping straight to the DVD Main Menu, avoiding trailers & promos.
The DVD Creator is another DVD Author front end. DVD Author is the open source command line tool developed in *nix that most free-ware or open source authoring apps, e.g. DVD Styler use. The Ripper seems the standard fare, with kudos to the developers for skipping bundling Xvid & calling it DivX, to perhaps fool would-be customers into thinking they're getting DivX.
[My favorite is still Nero Recode 10. It doesn't do DRM, so need the DVD on a hard drive, but it's unusually fast on older or less powerful hardware, and while it can handle everything automatically, it'll also let you set things the way You want/need. I can take a DVD I recorded, crop off the letterboxing, & encode it to an odd frame size (e.g. 720 x 360) making a smaller file (no stored black pixels from the letterbox) that plays fine on my tablet. I don't like newer versions of Recode (I have Nero through 2014) nearly as much.]
Which brings us to the Video Converter -- like the Ripper pretty much standard fare. You'd use the Ripper to manage the DRM on a video DVD, & convert that video to something else all in one go. But if you've already got the video files from wherever the Converter will change them into another size &/or format.
Installation isn't bad, with no runtime installs, no drivers etc. Folders are added to All Users App Data, user App Data [local & regular or roaming], & My Documents. The registry gets 1 key storing registration data, 1 key for uninstall, 1 key for the DVD Toolkit, & several Trolltech keys & entries [you get the Trolltech entries whenever you 1st run software that uses QT].
