Does anyone know anything about the Acala line of video software products?

I did a site wide search at videohelp for Acala with 0 hits.

DivX to iPod
AVI DivX MPEG XviD VOB to PSP
DVD Audio Ripper
Video mp3 Ripper
3GP Movies Free- Convert DivX, XviD, AVI, MPEG, VOB (free)
DVD 3gp Ripper (Free)
only the last 2 appear to be free

Some functions are disabled in the trial version, if you decide to keep the software and get full functions, you must register your copy.

The price for these is between $24.95 to $34.95 each with all 10 costing $99.84.

They gave all these products but no review or listing at videohelp.

It seams very suspicious. So was wondering if there is some reason none of these products appear here.

Thank you,

Joey

Most of this is already covered by freeware tool's .

Pro's : Freeware .

Constant development to improve
No feature's disabled
Welcome's bug reports
Large support base of info , including forums such as this one
Almost no restriction to media creativity

Con's :

New direction to takeup / include hd-dvd / blueray .

This company ... basically unheard off (founded in 2003) according to them .

Many site's also list products with similar name's , that have simply been hacked one way or another to fool the newbie into buying someone else's product ... there are alot of ahole's out there doing this .

I'm not surprised there not listed ... and no reviews .

Crippleware is not well liked in any form ... shareware that has a purpose (30 day's , then quit's) , atleast allow's for one to run some serious test's and to write a review for them .

Any company that uses testimonials is a worry, and one that uses testimonials with made up words like "professionist" and miss-spells quality as "qaulity" is one to steer clear of. I suspect that they will happily take your money, but all you will for it is second rate software, probably based in mis-used open-source routines, and support will very, very sparse.
