michael, It also crashed on me multiple times - uninstalled

knownassociate, i did install, register and run it just fine but since i have no blu-ray to further test, i'm pretty much out at that point.

guide is for "Dimo Video Converter Ultimate"
Monstune is Video Converter Ultimate without "download"
I guess Monstune is special version only for giveaway.

someone, yup, Video Converter Ultimate is pretty much the base for most other Dimo products.

I have a older version 4.0.0 and there also is no download option for videos, so some products have that option (like VideoMate) and others don't.

Jesper Hammer, I an suffering the same problem running Win 10 Pro. Uninstalled it already.

Jesper Hammer,

I have the same problem when using Windows 8.1

Mike D.,
I too have other software for this that works very well, both purchased and GAOTD. Your comment is useless without you actually downloading and trying the software as I will be doing. Please refrain from negative comments unless you have actually downloaded and tested the software. It does the rest of us no good to read worthless comments.

gregn357, After you have tested this software.
Tell everyone if it decrypts commercial DVDs or BD's.
Also if it removes Cinivia.
I don't consider a headsup about this "useless".
Since the software website doesn't let anyone know either way.

BTW I consider your reply rude but at least I didn't call it "useless,negative,& worthless".

Guys, no need to fight about it.

I played a bit around with it and successfully copied a CSS-protected DVD onto my hard drive, a bit slowish but nonetheless.

Maybe somebody else can come up with their own findings.

Chasm, Better or worse than DVD Shrink 3.2 in your opinion?

Jim Jones, DVDShrink took a bit to load the DVD initially but it wrote the main movie with around 8000 KB/S - 10,000 KB/s at peak and it took a while to get there (like 50%), highest peak was at 11,800 KB/s to the end, main movie was listed with 4.200 MB.

I started copying at 2:11 and it ended at 2:20.

With Monstune i started at 2:23 but for the whole DVD (5.87 GB), there were no options to simply select the main movie, so it's more data to be written. Copying ended at 2:32.

Imo they are pretty equal in terms of speed. Hope this helps.

Rena, Try DVD Shrink it's freeware.

PaulF, gifts are free and without need to go to facebook webpage, neither Twitter.....True????

Paul,

With applications that interface with hardware it often helps "program crashes" experiences to restart (reboot) the computer before judging that the application is no good.

...or did you already try that (it would be worth mentioning)?

HMarx,

Thank you for your very helpful suggestion. I had already rebooted the computer, but the program still crashes. I press 'Start' and the program literally disappears. I've been waiting to try a blu ray ripper for a while now, but I'll be uninstalling this. I'm using Win 7 Pro 64-bit.

little ricky, did you check all your home PC for malware etc.?
This because I did encounter something like that. Internet, but no contact. My ISP gave me a warning and gave just a site of their own to check and repair Windows.
Maybe GOTD think, there is something wrong at one PC and block all of them, IP.
Check with Malwarebytes JRT etc etc.
I have read all the other tips on the forum, but did no see this one.
Or ask for another IP-adres with your ISP.

little ricky, Any error message in the 5xx range, like 503, is always a server issue. The problem is on their end.

Morris Cox, Do you also get the same message, if your own PC makes to many connections with the website?
The conclusion that it is their fault, is fast.
This because there only a very few people, that have a problem.
If it was their problem, then more people should complain.
Few years ago there were not enough servers for downloading the software. And there were a lot of complaints. It took hours to download a game of 800Mb.
Still there is no answer of checking the own PC about malware etc. Also no report about how many connections the PC asks for connection of the GOTD-site.

TK, does this also explain, why all the PC at home have trouble and no PC at work?

TK,
everybody thinks it's me ' cache '... just wanted to remove all doubt the problem is on my end.
this is some of that English Limey Communist BS.

little ricky, When I read all the stuff about 503 and your experience and all the comments, I am lost.
At home nothing and at work fine. And same ISP. That I do not understand. The difference I think IP-address.
Can you take one of the home-device to work and test it there? If there is contact, then you know, that that device is OK. And the problem is somewhere else.
Server-problem: why so few complaints about 503 over the world?

TK, TK, You're dead right, it did crash right away when I attempted a conversion. I congratulate you upon finding a work-round as described in your other comments, and am surprised that the developers have not come back with a working version.
Furthermore, after it interfered with Visual C++ 2010 during setup, the system produced related error messages at the next boot.
I may need a system restore after this.

Colin Wilson, the download includes both setups, one for Windows and one for Mac. So my guess is the registration code works for both of them, since there is only one.

Wulf, code is there where you clicked twitter, not in Twitter.
BTW, this app doesn't work on my computer. It opens but when clicking Start, it closes.

SFLORG, Screenshot! Reall thumbs down because you can't see. https://screenshots.firefox.com/QimMUHwtXghGH6gJ/www.giveawayoftheday.com

S, are you the owner of the software????

Jeff, what do you mean owner?, I just downloaded it, I guess I own a giveaway license now (=owner). This is an awesome site, free giveaways every day :)

Gary, just from the looks of it and especially previous offers from Dimo, it's a lifetime license.
