Don't know why this got so many positive reviews when I used it the picture was mirrored so the text was appearing backwards.

just dl the s/w, no issue, checked:- clearly stated "a registered copy".
i like this way, no need to waste time in figuring out is it registered.

no candidate number is received.
i do hope they are busy, at least i still have a chance.
not the case for technical fault, totally out of the game.
but how to tell i am in which case?
just hope lah.

I have version 5.9.6 from an earlier giveaway. I do like but program but I dislike the nag screen that pops up the first time the program is started. I don't know what changes were made to this offering but I will stick with my current version. Thank you for the offer.

I have the same problem as Dan #20 commenter.Clicking the green button does nothing!This happened with another giveaway of the day.Why can't you make this process simpler?

Downloaded and installed, was already registered...
Probably because I downloaded previous GOTD version !!!

I downloaded the small file and unzipped it. It ran for only a second and a box popped up with a URL to activate my software, but I didn't see any software being installed and I can't find the program anywhere on my computer). I went to the activation page (using Firefox) and got two choices, a green box to download it for free and a gold box to buy a discounted version. I clicked the green button and a box popped up with descriptions of both the free and discounted versions. The discounted version had a button beneath it with a link to the checkout page. The free version had an activation code, but no button. So i now have an activation code, but where is the software?

humm, this is a new one. Downloaded, unzipped as usual, ran the setup.exe file and get the message that the giveaway is over for the day.
Gee, it's only 3:50 p.m. eastern US time here, 4/15/17.

Program does not even try to install. A pop-up window comes up that says to go to GAOTD site to activate with no choices other than to close the window. No software installed and the installer closes and that is it. I am running windows 10 64 bit computer.

Great software! Been using it for about a year now, I love it, great for video editing and publishing. However, it is being given away by everyone at any time, maybe a little more creative giveaway would be nice.

Occasionally to get the GotD to install properly I have to deactivate or suspend a security program, or run in safe mode, etc. This time around (a first for a WinX product) the first time I downloaded and ran the program it did not install, I only got the "successfully activated" bit and the GotD thank you page redirect. I had to suspend my anti virus, download again, and it installed perfectly (thank you GotD). But that is just me, and I am not computer savvy.

Registered for "Lifetime Free Upgrade License” and received my Candidate number in email that says "...And we will contact you again with Lifetime License of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum once you are selected as winner. Hope you are one of the lucky fellows."

Hopefully that's just a typo!

Also, "lucky fellows" seems a tad sexist ... :-)

Tested this latest version on a few online videos, Orig 5 min video download very fast. Approx 35 secs, but speed is about the only improvement
from like over a year and half ago, When I purchased this program full license thru GOTD offer.

This latest version is still has the same old mediocre and very limited options, has had a few years, this version still does not even
or any good video and audio enhancement features, no video audio Fade out option,sorry, but no features that really stand out at all from all the rest.

Did a 1 min trimmed test video, Unlike others, you must download entire video, and not just the part you want, then re-load video just to trim a few seconds off
Downloader still does not work on Hot online sites like (BET, MTV ETC) was very excited to see it now at least be able to load and analyze videos from these hot sites,
And Winx even shows the max quality available from hot sites like (BET, MTV ETC) , and clear thumbnail, but once you try to download, winx converter goes bonkers,
and starts opening several multiple screens on pc, so have to kill and restart pc each time.
The output quality on my trimmed youtube files, are just okay, still not better than w-share or similar programs.
Again, just another basic downloader/converter out of hundreds avail, but still hardly any good video and audio enhancement features,
no features that really stand out at all from all the rest. My honest feedback. Thks

The last version offered by GotD was v5.9.1, on January 17, 2016. Here is the changelog: https://www.winxdvd.com/hd-video-converter-deluxe/updatelog.htm.

Installed easily and runs on Win 10 64-bit. I got the license code, and registered for the "drawing." Question: The email with candidate number says this is for DVD Ripper Platinum. Will this work with this program as well, or will it work with both programs?

Thanks Digiarty and GOTD!

My test:
Successfully installing and running on my Win 10 64bit, no problems at all.
Tested to convert Rise of the Guardians (2GB) MKV file to 720p MP4 file in 10 min with all subtitles audios maintained. Touched by the speed. :-)
Easy to download YouTube, Facebook video, extract audio from music
Some basic options to edit video, trim, subtitle, etc
Make slideshow with images

Another info:
Am the only one who thinks the software UI is not good-looking? :-)

Anyway, thx Giveawayoftheday and Winx for this gift. :-)

Thanks GOTD and WinX DVD. The program installed successfully on my laptop (Win 10 Pro x64). So how it works?
Preset: Hardware Encoder on, High Quality Engine on
Input: a 7-min video in .mkv
Output: .mp4 extension (HQ)

It took approximately 20 seconds on my laptop i5 3.00GHz with 8 GB of RAM, and the converted file works properly. I'll keep using it.

Downloaded , Installed, and activated with no problems on my Win10 x64 machine using Edge as the browser. Have tried this before but never kept it. Am not impressed with this version either to tell you the truth. Pretty much if you want to download anything but youtube you're out of luck. There's literally millions of converters out there so I wanted the downloader to work as it just makes things easier. You know, download and convert at the same time instead of download with one program then convert with another. This appears to have an EXTREMELY limited range of sites it works on so I'll pass on it (again).

If you're looking for a downloader/converter that works just about everywhere try Allasoft. It was given away here a few months ago and it works literally everywhere. Think if you buy it outright its on $12.00, or was the last time I looked but that may have been a sale.

As I said earlier, todays GOTD offering is decent enough I guess, sure hate to slam ANY software that lets you try the "Pro" version for free, but due to its very limited downloading ability its not for everyone. Sadly that includes me. Uninstalled using Revo and it left only limited remnants so I guess that's another "plus" for this.

Uninstalled my previous version and activated this without any problems. It works pretty well, still greatly compatible with my lappy (Windows 10 1607).

In addition to Winx, I had once owned over five video converters (incl. freeware or gotd giveaways). Actually some of them had never been used for one time. I chucked those programs but kept Winx when I upgraded to Windows 10. I found this video converter is quite fast and powerful to get all my jobs done - commendably - supports hardware acceleration to make full use of my Nvidia 940M.

Hi, could this software be useful to "translate" a BRD that can only be read in the USA in a format that I can use in Europe? Thanks.

Does not install, wasted Mb on the download, I went to the site also to win the free licence for lifetime upgrade and I gave my email and it said a number was sent to my email, I did this twice and did not receive anything, me thinks that there is something very very wrong going on here, the bugs ate the file.

I Installed smooth on Windows 10 pro x64 and registered without a single problem. The interface is pretty clean and easy to use :)

I really like the features that let me use Intel and Nvidia to speed up the conversion. Tried out my several videos and was surprised by how quick it converts with good quality!

Good job! Thanks gotd and digiarty bringing this to me.

To get it to work boot in safe mode without AV active and run setup - very dangerous in terms of leaving yourself open to malware.

WinX is very professional in power, yet easy to use. I am very happy with this robust, fast and feature rich software. I was always headache on how to play my digital camera video on my other devices, well, winx makes it easy. It automatically converts the file to work with like an iPad, etc. I also love the feature to download video from online video site. The video downloading and converting is integrated, such a convenience.

Set Up would not run for me . After connecting to giveawayoftheday box opens , the set up starts to run , then ,kept getting an error message "a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Please close the programme". I have tried 4 times . Does not work

It's doing the same thing like last time I tried installing a GoTD. Ran setup.exe & all that happens after connecting to GoTD is that I get a box saying "successfully activated" then taken to a web page saying "what to do next". THE PROGRAMME DOES NOT ACTUALLY INSTALL AT ALL!
