We must say there were at least 20 4Freers telling us earlier about the promotion ending on September 30 ( thank you guys ! ) … And also many sites talking about it. We have first seen it on Gizmo’sTechSupportAlert.com
As a result of the today’s reminder from our friend BrianB, we have checked this promotion … And found a bit more “details”
.
For classic marketing reasons ( nothing wrong with that ) the owner has offered giveaways on different websites … And we’re almost sure they will continue to do it.
This promotion is due to a “release a brand new version (major upgrade) in Nov., adding several new features, such as upgrade codec, support HD, and merge, crop, split video, etc” . And we can see the main reason for this marketing act is : ” If you want to upgrade “give away” version to brand new version (major upgrade), you can get it at a very low price. “
So the news is : “You don’t have to hurry ! One shouldn’t worry about the initial time limit ( September 30 ) since we tell him the promotion is valid untill October 31, 2009.”
This promotion - also the longest one ( 45 days ) - is a giveaway for the readers of Techweenies.com. We kindly ask our friends who are willing to grab this promotion to pay them a courtesy visit
, before going to the download page you’ll find in below.
But before giving the promotion details we must tell that you can find HERE the free versions, from the same software developer, for WinX DVD Ripper, Video Converter , Free DVD to iPhone Ripper , Free iPhone Video Converter.

I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago.
If I’m not mistaken I got the instructions from Seb or Francks page.
It downloaded fine and it was the Platinum Edition 5.1.1. I have used it twice and it works great.

Hi hboy !
Have you tried to rip a DVD ? How big was it ? What parameters have you chosen and how long has the ripping lasted ?
Was the process resources hog ?
Thank you !
Hello friends!
I’m already grabbed this one. I make some tests but, in my opinion, 2 pass programs are better. I’m using AutoGK and I’m very happy with the results.
Good week for everybody!

Hi D-Rock !
I ripped 2 DVDs into the mpeg2 format so I could work on them in another program.
It took about the same time frame as the movie. If the movie was 1 and a half hours it took about that long to rip it.
I really couldn’t tell you much more. I just set it to the format I needed, left it while it was ripping, and when I pulled the file into my other program it worked great.
I had tested some others before I found this one for free, and there was one or two that ripped in a lot less time,however the end results were no better than WinX.
Hope this helped.

Hi Paps!
We’re honoured to have a friend like Brian.
But we also know there are a few more REAL 4Freers - like Brian - starting with … Paps !
Regards !
Thanks! I have used a older version of this program and if I recall the ‘ripped’ file was around 1.5 to 2 GB in size (I choose to do it in AVI no compression)I then used a freeware program called Handbrake(handbrake.fr) that encoded the file into Xvid (AVI) and it also allows to you to set a size that you want the final movie to be, so I have taken a 2 GB file and turned it into a 702 MB file! The whole process took around 30-45 mins on my quad core AMD w/4GB’s RAM, and the end product was just as good quality wise as the DVD it’s self!
P.S. I have been sharing these freebies on XXXX, and there has been allot of people saying what a great site this is!

Thank you for the interesting feedback Jonathan !
As for talking about 4 Free : Thank YOU !
Please give us the exact links to your posts, in order to receive the nice amount of points you deserve.
Of course it’s not only about points ( although points are more and more important, now that the 4 Free own promotions are so close ). If it’s useful for making the community stronger … It’s surely useful for you too.

Thanks to Brian B and of course the 4 Free team.
I think I will pass though because a while back I grabbed Wondershare DVD Ripper Platinum from GAOTD and so far I have been very satisfied.

Fair enough!

I think this was on giveawayoftheday awhile ago and I did not like it then. The quality of the output was not that good. There are so many other DVD backup programs out there like DVD Shrink, DVD Fab and if you need to convert any file to any file there is Format Factory. I use all of those all the time. You can get them all at XXXXX
I’m sorry John for XXXing your site’s URL !
We will gladly allow that after a certain period, where we’ll be sure you support the 4 free community.
The truth is there are tones of good websites where you can find freeware alternatives. Just look in “Our favs ” in the sidebar.
I really hope you’re on 4Free for a common objective ( obtaining our own free promotions ) and not only for advertising your site.
Regards !
The website was so I could help my friends and family. I did not mean to advertise anything. If you go there you would see their is nothing to buy no advertising just stuff I use so my friends like you guys can get it with no hassles but if it is not right I will never mention it again sorry
Hi again John!
Like said : later it will be OK. Let’s have the time to know each other.
We are dealing daily with fake “well intentioned” readers. But I’m sure this will not be the case.
Thank you!
Looks good. Thanks.

Hi Max!
To rip my dvd’s I first use dvdfab (free version from: http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm ). Dvdfab (free edition) copies the dvd to the hard disk and removes some of protections. When dvdfab has finished I use dvdshrink to shrink my dvd in size by removing unneeded languages and subtitles and sometimes (not always) compressing the rest. (Altough the latest version of dvdshrink is from 2004 and it isn’t supported anymore by the developer, I still like it at lot. It’s easy to use and still does it’s job. What more could I want?)
And on the other hand I sometimes use ‘formatfactory’ to convert a dvd to an mpeg file (you also convert to mp4/avi/wmv/3gp/vob/flv, by default mpeg seems return the best result for formatfactory)

Thank you very much for the your feedback !
Thanks for the great news.
This promotion is good for us, and winx can also benefit from it.
We haven’t heared this before, but I think this easy , stable and free will become popular like handbrake. Smart WinX guys!

Hi Matt !
I had got this before when you informed us about the Gizmo announcement.
Honestly speaking I had no chance to install and to test it. But just thanks offering a second chance. Whenever I need to rip a DVD, this surely will be my first choice. Thanks everyone for the comments since they are really useful in making decisions and choices.
Regards!
