bigboard your words are mighty fine , as i have said my time on there will be little now i will nip on now and again to check pm's unless my membership is withdrawn or canceled ...

im looking forward to kt's new project to be born!!! if i said i wasnt i would be lying

in my own opinion i think some rules are going to change(dvdrextreme) and most fun will be removed from the forum threads will disappear and so will certain areas and aspects of the forum that made it what it is today this being said every member that is lost a new one is gained as you know new members that join the forum will never know what it was like so the forum will remain okay , i think its the older or senior members this will take its toll on ..... this for gregory could work in is favour as you cant teach an old dog new tricks sort of speak ...

but i know greg is a member of this forum too so maybe he his reading these posts and may take certain posts into consideration you never know .

1click without a doubt is a great software and i will always use it untill its outdated or not supported , but the thing i loved most about the software was the forum meeting you guys / FRIENDS!!!!

KNOCK_ON_WOOD

I have to agree that 1Click is the best software. I do have to say I had never joined a forum of any kind because I never felt welcome or that I could contribute. However, I did on dvdrextreme. It has become the place I go to when I have any question about computer stuff. If it changes I will certainly miss it. I admit I mainly search cd freaks for answers and rarely ask a question. I have been made to feel inferior one too many times when I posted a question, even though I searched prior to doing so. It would be nice if a "generic" forum started with dvdrextremes atmosphere and people. I will continue to check out the current forum and I will support the software for it is the best.

I for one think 1Click is a great tool to use it has given me an outlet as a hobby.
Also when participating on the forum most forum members seem to be realy nice people, i'd be hard pushed to say who I did not like, most will realy go out of there way to help, as all of you guys and gals do.
AnyDVD is my choice as decrypter as it is paid for and I know it WORKS, if dvd43 works then that is good for new users, good luck to them.
I have yet to make a single coaster with 1Click.
I will stick around dvdrextream and see how it goes.

Rember this little fellow locking up the PC. That's why I chose AnyDVD.

Hey guys! I agree with a lot of what's been said here. I'd noticed a real change in the atmosphere over at DVDREXTREME over the past week or so. Especially with the major push for DVD43 and in particular one member getting his chops busted for recommending AnyDVD based on his own experience. Then when members whose posts have taught me so much started posting less and less, I really began to wonder. It's now Greg's forum and he can run it as he sees fit, but I, too, think that many of the regular and senior members will fall away. It's a shame because they've contributed so much to making the program as great as it is and providing fantastic help to those of us not as computer or burning savvy. I for one will always use AnyDVD and will recommend it freely and frequently.

It's hard to figure out where are the hostility comes from. Plenty of software companies provide a support forum for their customers. We didn't have one when we started out, but now we want to provide one. If we commit resources to a forum, we must take a certain amount of responsibility for the content.

As for "changing all the rules", the only thing that will change is we cannot link to decrypters. I can list many websites which used to link to decrypters and were forced to stop linking to them - not always on their terms. We'd like to avoid that fate.

It may not have occurred to you, but we didn't force DVDRextreme to hand over his forum. There was a good chance it was going to be shut down and we saw an opportunity to keep it going. The alternative was to create a new one, but why mess up a good thing.

As the author of the software, I've been asked on countless occasions to give more feedback on the forum and I've tried to do just that. I don't really have the time to invest in reading about all the negative things people have to say, one can't possibly please everyone. Those that know me well know my intentions are honerable.

I will now get back to work on improving the software and leave the debate to those who do it best.

Regards,

Gregory

Gregory:

One click DVD, simple version is the first DVD backup software I purchased (November 2004). I have been having problems using the expert section of DVD Pro which I purchased last month. Learned about DVDExtreme when I purchased it. If you can help users of the software to make a backup that will run smoothly, it will be well worth its take over. I purchased it even though I already had CloneDVD2 because I think its individual compression of titles is an advantage. I will try to burn another back up soon (keep extras about the making of the movie but compress more if too long and delete coming attractions). I have multiple posts regarding this.

There may be need to reference the decrypter used, if you deem it has something to do with the back up not running properly. Like I posted in that forum people are mainly backing up DVD9's and that inevitably involves decypters so it will be impossible to discuss OneClick without the reference.

coodbe, I wish you all the luck in the world!

4hams:
Well, DVD95Copy and CloneDVD2 have me very spoiled and lazy. There are many other free tools out there that I have dabbled with including the PSL2Plugin which incorporates several of the free tools. But none of them are as easy as easy or as fast as those two and OneClick. Yes, it may be wishful thinking on my part but I thank you. Forgot to mention, there is one more, Magic DVD Copier but it gives no controle over the compression.

Wow, the dust has not even started to settle at DVDextreme; posts are really slow, most senior members are absent, you can almost feel the tension through the monitor.

I sure hope that it does settle and continue to grow; it has been a source for a wealth of information for beginners with 1Click and so many other video programs.

I must admit that I am concerned that the types of posts will be limited, but Gregory seems to be saying (no changes except for linking to decrypters) only time will tell.

It may not have occurred to you, but we didn't force DVDRextreme to hand over his forum. There was a good chance it was going to be shut down and we saw an opportunity to keep it going. The alternative was to create a new one, but why mess up a good thing.

all this seem to have come to light when the CRPX was introduced this being what i think was is the main reason .

so why mention it on a open forum

i understand you wanting to make the software more advanced and at its best for the customers / users which i think is great

if the forum had a chance of being shut down then, why not now.???

surely by providing a link to slysoft site would not be providing a link direct to a decrypter but to a site that maybe of intrest , just like providing one to the 1click download page.

you say that certian things will be monitered thats fine as it always as been by mods , alexia , kt and of course yourself / 1click but im really confused here to how much you or your team want to filter , i mean take this for example in the playing section of the regular one click there is a thread that as been closed called hit and miss i believe there is nothing wrong with that thread and when i saw it closed i read it and read it again it as confused the hell out of me i didnt participate in this thread btw but im still stumped

I repeat what I said in an earlier post just check the mods on this site and you can see that they are going to push their views on this site as well. Bye Bye dvdrextreme, and it looks like this forum will follow suit.
As 4hams said it all seemed to start with the whole hearted pushing of dvd43 and anti Slysoft products, again the guys multiple personalities are coming to the fore. JMHO but I cannot see any reason to visit the old site unless Gregory stops notification of updates which he looks like he is doing at present, (but then again I only have to visit the download site from time to time so its no big deal.) I just feel that over the last 12 months I have learnt so much from you unpaid helpers of 1-Click. Why would anyone want to help out an organisation for nothing if you can't give an honest opinion or get stepped on for doing so ????

....................................... :d

coodbe,
if you still have questions or problems with 1Click or the processes I am sure if you start a new thread here that folks will try there best to help!!!

Once again good luck!

That statement is unfair and I hope I did not influence that by my earlier statement!!!
This is the internet and we never know all the facts surrounding the recent events that have taken place at DVDrextreme or LG Software Innovations. We may never know!!!

I am sure that over the next few weeks there will be some more clarity to the situation and then we as members can make our decisions as to how we want to proceed with our support of the product...

Am I getting soft??? Hell NO! Just trying to open my mind to realities!

Joel

I have to back you up on this one.

we don't know the in's & out's behind KT selling the right of dvdrextreme to LG and we may never know. What we do know is that KT did a great job building up that forum along with the good nature/help etc from a hell of lot of members, both junior and senior.

Remember the unrest a few weeks back when there were changes being made on the forum??...That all seems to have settled now.

One thing I am sure of is that one of the biggest things to have made dvdrextreme what it is,,is the support and helpfulness of all the members (yes us)...

Yes there may some changes around or there may not be (aside from not being able to post links for decrypters) but unless we give the LG team a chance we will never know. Many of you have said how great a place it is and why should that change?? Remember many of us have been using the forum for over 2 years, where as Gregory visits but has not been particulary active and Jamie has just started. They are realtively new to the use of the forum (in that sense) and may make the odd error..

Hell KT works about 70miles from where I live and I am still chatting to him and I don't hold any of what has happened against him and neither should anyone else. He has had his reasons and we should support his decision.

well time to go again so I may see some of you over at KT's new venture once it is up and running

Great post Alex!

Thanks Joel...Just trying to keep an open mind also. As I said many of us have been around the forum for a while and it seems a shame to lose knowledgable and helpful members before anyone has a chance to see what (if any) changes take place...

i second this and of course bubbles i think it is great kt came out with something i mean the forum was unsupported for so long and kt generously paid out of his pocket to keep many of us click aholics where we were KT i salute you .

maybe it is that time of month again

full moon tonight??

The Wolves are howling

Well DVDrextreme just closed the forum for a while, so I guess I will all hang out here for a while

Yep, they're switching over the server.

It might be unfair but I stick by it and no it wasn't influenced by what I quoted. As I said it is just in my opinion, and I still say you cannot trust a guy who is nice as pie while you agree with him but jumps up and down when you don't.
Can't see the point of carrying on with either forum, this one is all about what we had and the other is about what might have been, sorry if you don't agree. I won't post again on this subject or read the replies I am deleting the shortcut after press ing submit.

I also want to make clear that 1Click has limited moderator capabilites like every company with employees has here. We do not let companies access our staff forum and neither do we allow them to physically delete threads. This means that we can monitor what moderators of companies are doing and can reverse their actions in case of valid complaints.

However we feel that the involvement and commitment of companies is something we should encourage as it also brings benefits like news from the first hand, value added customer support and of course someone with expertise available.

We value our independent spirit very much as we believe it's the only way to survive on the long term.

If there are any questions concerning this, then don't hesitate to post!

Thanks DoMin8Tor. I think what some folks fear we will miss over at Dvdrextreme is that "independent spirit" you value here at CD Freaks. I guess I will join my friends Alex and Joel in taking a wait and see position on how substantive the change will be in the atmosphere over there.
