Version 3.0 youtube downloader is LOOOOOONG out of date and has been implemented in a way that prevents the downloader module based upon open source project from being updated manually or automatically. It does not work and initially offers to do an upgrade BUT the upgrade tries to install the current version 4.3 which will invalidate the giveaway license for 3.0, I have solved the problem, in the install folder is a subfolder called "youtube" in that you will find a file called ytb.exe which does not run without error... simply get a current copy of yt-dlp_x86.exe from the projects releases github repository OR from another video downloader like allavsoft and drop it in the youtube folder and rename/delete the original ytb.exe and rename yt-dlp_x86.exe to ytb.exe and restart the program and away you go! To update the ytb.exe to the current version open a command prompt window in the youtube folder and execute the command "ytb.exe -U" and it will self-update to the current version if it gets an internet connection

The downloader will have problems in the future with youtube downloads as it's based upon ytb-dl/youtube_dl but does not include the complete executable so it cannot be self updated with the -U command line switch and will need updating to a new installation when they alter their website to make life difficult for unauthorised downloaders. The current files are already out of date compared to the projects current release files.

Thank you, Digiarty and GAOTD!

Looking forward to giving this Giveaway a try!

The program installed okay and activated okay. However a simple download test of a music clip from YouTube fails repeatedly. It asks you to click to Analyze the URL, then it wants to upgrade the Download engine, and following that leads to the complete version upgrade option to v4,1 which won't be included per the terms. SO a strikeout on that aspect of the program.

You do need a powerful rig to run this program efficiently.

I tested a 29 second 1080p 60fps (not complex or high motion) video file from a sony alpha camera. Up-scaled to 4K HEVC. took about 11 minutes. Really IMPRESSIVE result. I can´t see any AI artifacts or smoothing or weirdness.

Then I tried a 1280 X 720 compressed photo with "real world stuff" and text from a really thin font.

The image and the text enlarged to 2K looks great. 4K and 8K the text gets a little distorted.

The actual image enlarged to 4k looks quite good and at 8K I can notice some AI smoothing and weirdness, but it´s not unsettling. the casual eye will probably not catch it.

really great app. A keeper for me.

Thanks to the developer and GAOTD!

Just downloaded the software without any problems. Registration went smooth. Quickly enhanced a couple of photos. Results are truly amazing. Just what I was waiting for. Don't have to go to online services anymore. Thank you Mr. Winxvideo! I will further explore and probably purchase the upgrade later on.

I misread the description. I had the impression that it is a f automatically installed to the C: drive. I really hate it when programs do that!

Downloaded and tried to register, get an error message, "Attention: Host reg1.datacenter-digiarty.com not found" so I cannot register the software. Any help on registering?

Tested the photo option because it's quicker -- obviously takes less time than processing a video. Winxvideo AI 3.0 does work, and is the 1st *general purpose* AI tool I've tested that does. But there's a problem... without resizing, a 4MB jpg image is reduced to <1MB at the 100% quality setting. For the web or emails that might be OK, but it's definitely losing detail when 1/4 of the data goes missing. I had to go into the Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> High DPI scaling Override & set it to System for Winxvideo AI.exe. And it annoyingly does the AI inference for X2 upscaling as soon as I import an image, so I have to wait until it's done, select the button for image enhancement instead, then go through the inference again. It does max out my lowly RX 6600 graphics card, but it's a bit slower than Topaz AI Denoise, P/Shop's AI, & Luminar Neo's AI.

Installing Winxvideo AI.exe adds the program's folder in Program Files (x86) along with a foler in Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Roaming\. Empty folders are also added to Music, Pictures, & Video. The only new registry entry I monitored was a key with the path to the app.

I wanted to try this for the to colorize black-and-white photos, but I don't see that ability in the program.

In case some would like to try it. First, be aware that it takes a fairly sturdy machine to run it! Second, it's very basic and doesn't offer any of the AI tools out there. I've tried more than a dozen "free to try" online image AI, and most did a better job handling images (I didn't try videos yet), than Winxvideo AI. All and all, it's an okay tool to try your hands on AI, but choices are very limited. The models it download are also quite small (about 40MB), and you can't chose to download other free ones (check on Github). My next tests would be on videos. If it's not better than images, then I'll install it, since every week more AI tools are being offered for free. And if you're thinking, "Yeah, but my personal stuff remains on my computer, and not openly available online." Well, I can say that if you have a sturdy computer (minimum 32GB RAM and a 16GB GPU video card), then your best bet is to install your own local LLMs which will do more than images!
Overall, I give it a 2.5 stars out of 5.

When I click on "About" in the upper right corner of the Home icon, I see that the program has already been registered, even though I haven't entered the license provided in the registration link. I previously had a version of WinX HD Video Converter from GiveAwayOfTheDay, but I uninstalled it because it was no longer active.

You can only register this product once.
Install on a VM for testing, then install on a PC and licensing fails with error code 1.
Not exactly an informative error.

I have the 4.1 version. Excellent program, but you must have a powerful PC (mine is 16gig ram, Intel i5 8th generation). To work properly you MUST have:

1. General GPU Requirements:

• APIs for GPU Computing: Vulkan ≥ 1.2.x, OpenCL ≥ 1.0.

• NVIDIA: Quadro 410 or higher, GeForce GT 630 or higher, GeForce GTX645 or higher

• Intel: Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2) or higher, Graphics 510 or higher.

• AMD: AMD Radeon RX550 series or higher.

I have Intel UHD Graphics 620...And it is NOT powerful enough for videos! It did a very noticeable improvement on the video I was working on, but at the lowest settings it took 12hrs to produce a 10 min video. I use it now for images, and WOW it does an excellent job!

The details on the page given in the readme.txt URL is contradictory.

"Giveaway License
Full access to all features in Version 3.0
$0
$69.95
No updates or access to new versions and features
Some AI functionality disabled
No ongoing deep machine learning model training
Enhance videos, upscale images, convert and process videos"
It DOES REQUIRE obtaining and inserting the license code via the readme.txt instructions or it will be in trial mode unless you have tried this version before and uninstalled it or install over the top of it...
This does support some of the AI model options using CPU, Intel GPU, Nvidia GPU and AMD GPU and is not just tied to a high end Nvidia GPU like another brands AI powered video enhancer... but I recommend installing it first to ensure your hardware is supported before giving details to get the license key... the license key is displayed on the thankyou page of the form where you submit your email address so even if the email never arrives you will be able to participate in this giveaway.
I cannot scale beyond x2 on the video I am working on, no x3 or x4 options enabled. But it is usable. It downloads the AI model inferences into the users AppData\Roaming\Digiarty sub folder hierarchy subfolder BUT you can define a new location to put them in the settings so you can put them on a non-system drive letter if you need to save space on system drive. We cannot disable notification of a new version being available so must remember to ignore and dismiss the notification as accepting it should invalidate the giveaway license as it's only for this version 3.0 If you do a manual update check it does try to push us into installing the current version 4.1 and does NOT warn us it will invalidate our giveaway license so be aware!

Max image scaling is x4 or 8192x8192 whichever is higher, I have another AI image upscaler that can do up to x16 but really it's cheating as it does x4 twice to get to x16 we could do that here, probably.

I would recommend disabling the !auto-start next time" option or you'll be bound to the same settings for the next file even if you don't want it and have to wait until it finishes processing before you can set the functions you want this time.

I will be keeping it just in case I need it in the future... unlikely but you never know!

So far tried 3 functions out of 5: Image AI, Downloader and Video Converter. I will keep giving it a go, but for now here are my observations:

Pros:
- You can select where on your computer to install the program;
- Images: removes noise and sharpens blurry details very well while enlarges the image.
- Video converter works well, simple to use and has several useful features other simple convertors don't.

Cons:

Installation: option to select a different folder is not obvious and I was specifically looking for it. Should be made more noticeable or maybe even a part of installation dialog;

Download: - does not work
- prepopulates URL with something irrelevant
- error message: "A program update is needed for the new downloader engine. Please click "Update" to download the newest version [...]"
Obviously, the newest version is not free and the current version does not work.

Image AI:
- text in the images gets sharper but the letters lose shape, become distorted - inevitable for current AI, I guess;
- on uploading image automatically starts generating preview before I selected any options and it takes long time - waste of time
- popups lack Cancel button, there is only 'Start'. You can either go ahead or delete the image and start all over from scratch. Why bother with a popup at all if there is no choice and only one button to go ahead? Very frustrating

It comes already with the licence activated, no need to add the key/licence number. The About page says 'Giveawayoftheday' licence and has my email address.
--BUT when I closed and restarted the program (on Windows 7) I got a 'trial version' prompt window/dialogue box when it restarted and so I then entered the key and my email address. Now there is no such prompt on a restart, Anyway, thank you, Digiarty.
