Hey kids, just wanted to relay a tidbit to save everyone a little
time... I recently had the need to convert an AVI file so I could
burn it to DVD and send to the folks...
Anyway, Searching with google with "DVD RIP BURN" the first thing that
comes up appears to be a decent solution:
"DVD Rip N` Burn - dvdripnburn.comPowerful and FREE DVD Ripper and
Burner with multi-language support. www.dvdripnburn.com/ - 3k - Cached
- Similar pages"
So, I download this slug, and install it.
1. It will not work with my file for whatever reason.
2. IE started freaking out and the HDD was cooking for no reason.
3. I emailed their tech support 2 weeks ago and still have no
response.
4. I add/removed the program and used spybot to remove the "extras"
5. Rebooted machine just to be sure, no spyware anywhere.
6. Reinstalled their software, Same thing not working & NEW Spyware
now.
So, their software was intalling SpyWare on my computer, their
software did not work (I secretly wonder if its just a spyware
installation tool gui, every button you click installs something
different no actual Rip software even there?), and they pretty much do
not have a support infrastructure.
Bottom Line: Do not bother with this junk, don't wase your time or
CPU Cycles.
