Ahh, I didn't read this
Dear users.
We have contacted Fengtao Software considering license issue. The specific of the program implies that it does not work without updates, so we asked to extend GOTD license to 1 year.
What is the result? Well, the new build is already uploaded and is waiting for you to grab it right away. So go ahead!
ps: if you get “the key cannot be decrypted” message, please re-download the build with 1-year license.
Sorry for this inconvenience.
Have a nice day!
GOTD team

Was just going to post a thread for this. i usually just use HD decrypter but figured since dvdcopy was free, may as well test it out.

Yes but will this license update the ripping software like a normal one, or will you have to wait the 30-60 days for the free version update

I installed it just to see it. I have used it since it first came out and it was pretty brutal on some DVDs

it was pretty brutal on some DVDs

what do yo mean by brutal? it just wouldn't work or nothing could stop it?

I was wondering about the BRUTAL thing as well. I snagged it anyway. Can never have enough Decryption/Ripping Programs. You can't beat the price of that one.

When it first came out, it had problems with DVD structures and would rearrange stuff as it thought it should go. Sometimes it would do it right, and sometimes it would hose it up. Then again this was when it first came out. It's been awhile I'm sure they've made some improvements, but once you get a bad taste in your mouth, you try not to repeat it.

I'm just curious if the decryption portion will get updated like the full licensed version, or if this "special" license version will only update as the freeware version does.

I find that -- for my own interests -- they (GAOTD) seem to offer something good that I actually want no more than once a month. But that's enough of a batting average to make my subscribing to their daily email list worthwhile. If I fail to keep up with that -- which has been known to happen -- I may miss out also.

Looks like a waste of crippled software
Yes, DVD copy is licensed

However, The ripper is not. I haven't used it for awhile. Just fired it up and it said the ripper expired.

Since 99% of the time you need both, makes it pretty useless

Stiltman all the "ripper" portion of the software does is offers conversion to different formats like ipod, mobile, etc. The "copy" portion of the software rips the dvd to the hard drive.

I do my own conversions using handbrake and autogk so not having the "ripper" portion means very little to me.

I also think they named their "rippper" section poorly. Would have been more appropriate to name it "dvdconvert" or similar. Would cut out on a lot of confusions.
