The people at http://giveawayoftheday.com/

are offering
Only available FREE for 12 more hours! This is not a joke...it´s gotta be downloaded AND installed within this time frame to get the free registration.

Go get it...and be happy

And also remember if there is an update to the program you will not get it. It only pertains to this current version. No updates. Still a good deal though if you need this software.

I can't get the site to load...not sure if they crashed or if it's on my end, but do you happen to know of any mirror sites?

Won't load for me either now. Did a few minutes ago when i got it though.

I don't know of any mirrors sorry.

Now the activation does not work.
sorry it is working ok now

i just got through...probably just a momentary hiccup.

from the readme file:

pay attention to the instructions... ACTIVATE BEFORE YOU INSTALL.

yeah...that took me a couple tries

Has anyone actually tried this software yet?? Getting mixed feedback from Giveaway comments.

I have it downloaded, but haven't decided if I'd like to activate to try it. Not sure what more it can do than softwares I have already...well maybe extracting the audio from the DVDs...

The contributors to the comments section are a mixed bag - I´ve noticed in the past that many can´t manage simple instructions and then write stupid comments. Real problems are rare.
Read carefully...intelligent comments are usually made by those who are able to install the software correctly.
I haven´t tried this software as I have what I currently need for everything...and little time to test another. Some users sounded pretty happy...

haven't tried it yet. i installed it just to make sure I got it. not sure if i'll get a chance to play with it today or not...even if it sucks it was free so it's worth a shot (unless it's got some kind of spyware...but i don't see any major red flags)

Thats true, if they cannot install the software how can they comment? just j/king

shush. activation before install? c'moooooon who does that? (and who reads instructions? )

it's like one of those trick tests in high school where the teacher tells you to read ALL the questions before beginning and the last question says "don't answer anything just put your name at the top and hand it in"

...and i failed

Since that made so much sense, I went ahead and activated it...lol, and am trying it out as I post. I am actually ripping from the DVD into an AVI. Taking a bit long, but may be due to converting the DVD into an AVI file.

I am really liking the fact that this software can rip into the desired video format straight from the DVD itself. No need to rip to the harddrive first and then convert to mpeg4 with CloneDVDMobile or whatnot...

Will post back how the video looks. I will also do a rip from the DVD straight to iPod ready mpeg4s...cool...

Also am going to try the audio ripping as soon as I find a good video music DVD to test out.

One other thing, this software has some great setting options, includung which titlesets you want to keep, and even had an option to select which chapters of the main movie, if you wanted to go that far...(maybe good for deselecting end-credits?!?!...hmmmm )

Oh My Goodness!!!!!!! What a great software!!! It does not rip to DVD compliant VOB, IFO, BUP...But it does rip to other formats and is pretty good in terms of quality. AVI, MPEG4, MPEG2, VOB (without IFOs & BUPs), ....And it can also do video editing of all video formats. Trimming down to individual frames on all these formats. Haven't ripped the audio from a DVD yet, but I'm pretty confident it will rip to high quality WMA, MP3, AC3...wow

It's too late now to get it for free, so hope at least a few got this fantastic deal...FREE!!!!

Yesterday this program was registered. Today it's not!

From the Give Away Of The Day site:

Yeah, it's not working for me neither...What a shame. I hope they do get it figured out. Another success with it yesterday was that I was able to extract the audio from a DVD into an MP3, and it was in stereo...nice...

same problem here. bookmarking this thread so I can check their site next week i guess for a fix

ooo, mine still says it´s registered

Maybe they´ll sort it out for the others...good luck.

Mine still seems to be registered, but it won't allow me to load any video content onto the program. I'm guessing it is related to what Aimersoft did with that single-day only activation....

It's a pretty decent piece of software and hope they get to the core of the issue eventually.
What would suck is if Aimersoft used this as a way to get exposure and never, ever really intended to give away the full versions of the software...

Edit: Scratch that, I just doubled checked the software again and now it is also asking me for the E-mail and registration code...

Yep. Mine´s doing exactly that now as well.

My experience with the site is that it´s all legit, and they will sort out the bug. Let´s be patient.

Other people who missed it, PAY ATTENTION: this will be made available again in a few days...probably Monday. Keep an eye on it.

Yeah, I am also confident that GOTD will come thru for us...

Aimersoft also did post a comment, so looks like they'll come thru as well...

Hope that means they will re-giveaway (lol) this one again.

still waiting on this

(I think I'm just spoiled by slysoft's immediate support)

is aimersoft a US company? maybe they didn't realize Monday was a holiday when they announced there would be a fix.

so far i'm not too impressed though.

The new one is being tested and will be out soon
