Enosoft DV Processor Released

[JohnnyMalaria]

THE ENOSOFT DV PROCESSOR HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED!!!

You can download it from http://www.enosoft.net

FREE FOR PERSONAL USE

The downloadable version is a personal-use only (non-commercial) version. It has no time limit restrictions.

WHAT ABOUT COMMERCIAL USE?

For commercial use, you can use the downloadable version for 30 days for evaluation purposes. To use the software for commercial purposes, you need to purchase the fully-licensed version. A license is required for every computer on which the software is installed. The commercial version is a separate download, available only from our on-line store.

Until the end of March 2007, you can buy the fully-licensed version for a low, introductory price:

1 - 3 Licenses $129.00 USD (a saving of $50.00 USD)
4 - 9 Licenses $119.00 USD
10 - 19 Licenses $109.00 USD
20+ Licenses $99.00 USD

ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES?

Yes. The non-commercial version uses a single threaded decoder/encoder. The commercial version uses a multiple threaded decoder/encoder. On single CPU systems, this makes no difference. On multiple CPU systems (including dual core), the commercial version takes advantage of the multiple processors.

Also, in certain operating modes, the non-commercial version occasionally adds a “spoiler” frame to the processed video. Specifically, this is when the non-commercial version is used in the Device-To-Device mode or AVI-To-Device mode, and the software is modifying the DV stream in someway.

Users of the fully-licensed version get access to private areas on the Enosoft Users Group and main web site. We intend to add new features to the software. Some of these will only be available in the fully-licensed version.

WHAT OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE SUPPORTED?

The Enosoft DV Processor has been tested successfully on the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Pro x64
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit*)

At this time, Enosoft strongly recommends either Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 or XP Pro x64. Other versions of XP and Vista have not been tested but are expected to support the software.

*To make sure all the features of the software work on the 64-bit version of Microsoft Vista, you should install the software from an elevated command prompt.

You must also have a 32-bit or 64-bit CPU that supports SSE2 instructions. The software will not install on a system without SSE2 instructions or on a version of Windows prior to XP.

If you would, please define "commercial" use. I'm wanting to offer a service in which I transfer home videos. Would that qualify as "commercial"? I'm thinking it probably does..

BTW, is the Ctrl + Alt + Del problem fixed?

Hi,

Yes, it would count as a commercial use (assuming you are not doing the service for free).

The EULA for the non-commercial version states:

The following are considered examples of Commercial Uses of the Software:

(1) Use at or for a commercial enterprise, including non-profit organizations;
(2) Use for financial gain, personal or otherwise;
(3) Use by government agencies;
(4) Use at home or while traveling for work for which Recipient will be paid;
(5) Use in connection with the provision of professional service for which Recipient is compensated;
(6) Bundling or integrating the Software with any hardware product or another software product for commercial benefit.

BTW, is the Ctrl + Alt + Del problem fixed?

Yes, it is

Per the help file:

Preventing Restarts During Video Mode Changes

By default, the small video monitor windows in the application's main dialog window make use of the Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) that is provided by the operating system. Whenever the computer's video mode changes, VMR windows automatically restart the DirectShow filter graph. The practical consequences of this are that if you are capturing to disk and change the video mode, the capture will restart and overwrite the existing file. Such changes in video mode occur when you lock the computer, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete or, on Windows Vista, perform a task that causes a UAC prompt to be displayed.

To prevent this unwanted restart, the Enosoft DV Processor can use a more traditional, non-VMR renderer for the small monitor windows. To do this, simply enable the Don't use VMR for small monitor windows option:
