You just copy it from the web page, and paste it into the application.

Could not have been easier.
(Not picking on earlier posts where people are having trouble, Just saying they have now made it as simple as possible)

I couldn't get registration without deactivating Firefox Noscript-addon (JavaScript must be on) but all other information and links on their site are functional without JavaScript.

This answers perhaps #60 Ric's "answer" to my #42: "The comment is sick and typical of a fear of anything that is good but does not originate from US or Europe." Hello, Ric from C?, there is no need to be insulting!!! And I like Chinese people and have had very good friends from free part of China. And if some anonymous crew member has taken my slight hint personally I want to apologize.

But on both Digiarty Software's and DVDFab's sites all information I procured is missing. And I dislike this greatly! Please compare this behaviour e.g. to the zoner homepage (Europe) showing even pics of everybody! Many thanks to zoner!

But "Ric" is correct: I think some countries more trustworthy than others because they are free countries. Other countries aren't bound by western legislation and have another value system and not all people on this planet are nice people. And I have read a lot about government and industry computers' attacks originating "somewhere" in the east. I don't want to tell that the mentioned enterprises will do this. For me it's only personal risc management. Sorry, folks!

No 63 Dan. This has already been covered earlier. The method of registering is in the README file. Paste the given link into your browser (including Firefox) and you will get an email with the code. As the advert says "Simples!"

Dan, #63. Go re-read the readme file coming with the extracted download where it says that you visit the stated website to get your registration code which you'll then use after install to register your copy of this app.

Hi Guys,

Tried installing twice as directed, says it has activated with GOTD but when I go to use it says its unregistered, and thus only 5 min demo.

Anyone help ?

Dan

It does a pretty good job of quickly ripping my movies into .mov and .mp4 formats. Unfortunately my Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Blu-Ray player doesn't recognize the results where it does with other rippers from GOTD. Strange.

JUNK program, tried it on 2 different DVD folders and the program crashed EVERY time. IF it can't handle a simple conversion, the it darn sure isn't going to handle a rip.

I have installed this on two _different_ computers, and I have observed a problem with the video preview window. When you play any of the video segments, the movie image seems to be playing "behind" the WinX DVD window. (Moving the WinX window leaves "residue" on the desktop.) Sound is okay. Anyone else seen this?

Otherwise, I definitely plan to give this software a good try-out. It appears to have a good variety of options.

Why the insinuation that just because this comes from China, that something is suspicious about it being given away free?

The comment is sick and typical of a fear of anything that is good but does not originate from US or Europe.

#51.I always use firefox in all my internet activities. no problem with it on GOTD page and downloads & code!!!

Ohhh..
Digiarty back again with another gem.
Thank you so much with this giveaway.
I already had the older version,now I'm gonna upgrade.
Always been a fan of Digiarty software,you guys do some good stuff.
Thanks!

#9 Yes. Click the ISO Image icon at the top, open the folder where the FLV file is located, then open the file. Select the output format, insert a blank disc, and make your copy.
#30 Click the DVD Disc icon at the top, then open the folder where the DVD you want to record is located. Insert a blank disc in the recording tray, select the output format, and make your copy.

This is great software. The latest version is now converting a movie that I could NOT get to convert with previous versions, or with other products. Great job WinX team for fixing that. It also saved me when I had to reformat my PC not once... but twice. I lost Aiseesoft BlueRay Ripper in the reformats, but was able to reinstall a previous GOTD version of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum with a little patience, and it did the job well in that time. The user interface is a little busier than that of Aiseesoft products, but this is definitely a powerful program with plenty of options for ripping and converting. I highly recommend this if you can grab it while it's free, it has been a life saver for me.

I like WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. I've used it for a few years now, since it's given away for free frequently. But I have to say it comes up short compared to Aiseesoft Total Media Converter. Not only does WinX not support as many output formats, but it's slower:
WinX: 38 minutes to rip a 2 hr 12 min DVD (4 cores running)
Aiseesoft: 29 minutes for the same DVD

I tried to update my earlier version and killed it , thank you WinX for offering the new version!

#38, maybe it's because of the holiday weekend? I guess we'll know in a few hours when the usual cut-off time is reached.

You use Firefox? This browser incorrect load gaotd page for this program. Use Chrome & get code! Enjoy! :)

Decent program, does exactly what it says it will.
Registration could not be much easier! No hoops to jump through, no long waits for emails, you don't even have to give them your email address. Just go to the site and pick up the code. Nice!

I LOVE this particular GAOTD. I don't know why it happened to disappear from my computer a little while ago (I think I went crazy in the add/remove and accidentally un-installed it). But, THANK YOU GAOTD for re-releasing it. I think it has THE BEST user-interface of any DVD RIpping software I have seen so far!

Hmmmm. It doesn't look like I can BURN the movie I am ripping to another dvd with this software. I guess I need to open another different software program for that. Why? It's a good program otherwise, if you want to just have an ISO to take to another program, or to rip to a digital format. But I would have liked the ability to burn to a DVD. The program doesn't seem complete without that option.

Thank you though. I will probably use it for the mobile stuff. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could burn to a dvd after choosing to pick out the previews I don't want, the nag screens, the 32 company logo animations, etc before I burn.

@15 Terry: Have you tried DVD Profiler by Invelos to catalog your dvds?
I'm not sure what the database limit is, however I know it will do multiple databases.
As for setting things up...well..."How do you eat an elephant?" ;)

I have used several WinX programs in the past and have always experienced high quality software from that company. I downloaded and installed this GOTD software on my 64 bit Windows 7 laptop without difficulty. My recommendation is to try this software. Thanks GOTD and to Giovanni for his continuing comments and shared knowledge.

Just ripped a DVD before commenting. This program does NOT make use of graphic chips (Nvidia, AMD) and is therefore MUCH slower than rippers that do. Other than that seems like a decent ripper.

Ok (Don) "giovanni" read this "About the evaluation period

All of our software is distributed as shareware. You can install and try them for 30 days. During this evaluation period, the software is fully functional. To continue using the software after the 30-day evaluation period, you should pay a registration fee.

And I, too, can't imagine why they are giving it away free. Perhaps other people can.

Unite all DVD options on one program (Copy, Rip, etc.)Otherwise it seems that you are greedy.

#19 - iDoo may be free but it's also limited:
From the download page on Softpaedia-

Limitations:
· Watermark on the output
· The output audio will be limited to half
· Nag screen

#1 &2- Sure,go ahead and keep your video and photos of HD's. That way when-not if-you suffer a catastrophic HD failure,you can (as I'll be doing soon)spend hundreds of dollars to attempt to recover something.
I've been doing this long enough to have had multiple drive failures, both internal and external drives. Plus,how long do you think the formats in use today will be viable? I've got lots of old computer games that will die when my last 5 1/4 floppy drive bites the dust. Physical media may not be truly archival,but it's a far side more reliable than any consumer grade HD. And,speaking of dodos, I've easily printed film negatives my father shot in the 1940's, and regularly play LP's I bought as a teen.(I'm 62).Heck, I can still play my grandmothers 78's,tho they're admitadly pretty scratchy-those steel needled Victrolas were pretty much brute force playback. Every format has good and bad aspects,including the current ones.

(quote) > " You have 2 days 15 hours 19 minutes to download and install it." (end quote)

2 days plus? If that is GAOTD's new policy, that is a wonderful improvement. Thank you. If it is for this particular offer only, I hope you will consider making it the standard policy.

#31 David - See # 24 above (but ignore the "rude comment" part... After downloading, but BEFORE installing, read the instructions in the readme.txt file. It provides a link for getting the activation code. Very simple, and works perfectly.

Could not find my suggestion in the Idea Informer, so I will mention it here just in case.

Have the program be able to retain the AV setting the user has changed/set and/or be able to edit and save as new custom AV settings/profiles.

Europe thanks Giovanni for alternatives :D

Mine country is probably on grey-list, because on the website provided for getting registration code, there is only offers
about XV% discount of the prices of 3 separate applications
and 1 application pack.

great program thank yo gawotd

installs and runs great on win7 x64. registration was a breeze.

I installed the software, and then it asked for "license code" for activation. Help...

Registration was easy - although I think GAOTD should stop popping up the "successfully activated" screen when it is not. Follow the link in the readme.txt file and you'll get the Registration code.

Not so sure about the multi-core utilization. Conversion takes about 1/2 of the movie time regardless of the setting on my Quad Core (although I did not try the single core option)

Successfully backed up a new movie I had to a high quality .avi
Looks perfect!
Been using Digiarty products for years - although their interfaces always look outdated, the products work well.

This program will remove protections and back up your DVD to popular file types, and there is an option to create an .ISO - but I have not tested it, and I know some programs on some DVDs make a less than usable file because of the copy protection. If you're creating a relatively non-lossy file, it may be good to use your burning software to convert it back to DVD.

Hi, Please help:
Still not clear to me: Can it clone a DVD? - make an exact copy of it so it can be played on a regular home (not PC or playstation) DVD player?
If so, what do I select?

Super ripper, but no matter how much you tweak the options/settings the subtitle setting does not work. Shame, it worked in earlier editions.

As usual Sonar deletes it, so make sure you temporarily disable your Norton before downloading and installing. Installed fine on XP and Win 7x64. Lost this in drive crash and glad to see it back. Thanks.

I got this one last time round, and they are doing it again, not for one, but two days!!

If you haven't got it, get it. Last time I got a free copy of their WinX HD VideoConverter as a special offer from GOTD

Many thanks once again.

It does exactly what it says on the box, so to speak.

Cheers

# 17 (wotnwabbit) ... This is free, not a trial ... If you would bother to actually read the instructions in the Read Me file instead of leaving an abbreviated rude comment. To make it simple: they tell you to go to this address to request the code - http://www.winxdvd.com/giveaway/gaotd.htm. Click on the "Get Register Code" icon and you will have your key code.

#5 Alex
I have a Samsung Series 7 LCD HD TV and a Samsung Blu-ray player that accepts USB sticks. I save ALL my movies (with their subtitles) in HD MP4 format and the image is just perfect! It works 99% of the time when copied to USB's. Copying the MP4's to DVD's, and watching them on the blu-ray player works 95% of the time.

For Wotnwabbit #17, I guess you should have read the directions and entered the password

Whenever I see these rippers, you can bet that the vendor will also have some kind of DVD Copy program as a separate buy.

I would rather see an all in one package that covers all the options that most people would need when backing up their DVD's etc

Another great software from GAOTD, third day in a row..

idoo DVD Ripper is also FREE....

http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-Rip-Other-Tools/idoo-DVD-Ripper.shtml

The PRO version sports more advanced features missing in this GAOTD too...but it's still a terrific app worth downloading in my view!

Can I rip 3D DVD's with this?
