DVDStripper released at last!!!

[MackemX]

I really cannot understand how people can basically say it's leeching as like I showed in the link to Doom9, this tool works in a very similar fashion to Menuedit yet I do not see people raising this leeching issue with Menuedit

Could it be because Menuedit is *gasp* FREE?

is it?

last time I looked it was $16.50

And so is IFOEDIT, DVDSHRINK, DVD DECRYPTER...etc..etc..etc. This proggy is completely useless and it does nothing additional to what any of the other aforementioned proggy's could do. Maybe it does do them more simplistic...I don't know..and could care less. Certainly not worth $2, let alone $20. What I find even more laughable is that MackemX wrote a post last week that said he "CO-DEVELOPED" this proggy with some "unknown" author..who no surfaces now as Arianos. Here’s the link to the developer…excuse me..co-developers thread… https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=675913&highlight=mackemx#675913

When I read that post, I said these words "BULLSHIT, this guy couldn't write a sentence in WORD and save it, let alone a proggy such as that." I knew there was no way in hell this character wrote any proggy. Of course with my brief encounters with this guy..he has told me that he is extremely well respected at doom9 as well as the most popular poster on this forum. He felt the need to mention via PM and through posts that his wonderful site has so many hits which makes him proven to be so popular. He felt the need to PM that to me on at least 3 occasions. Again, I just laughed. But now that i've read all of this both here and at Doom9, it's very clear as to what transpired. MackemX obviously convinced this Arianos...(who by the way was allowing MackemX to use webspace for quite some time, and who is ultimately good “buddy/buddy” with good ole’ Mackem)....to ultimately write this proggy because with MackemX's "STARDOM" and "IMMENSE POPULARITY" on these forums...he could sucker enough people into purchasing the proggy to make it worth while.

Can ANYBODY say "SAD." Any other projects you're currently co-developing Mr. Popularity?

I was wondering when you would show up and also put your foot in your mouth

I suggest you go look at what co-developing means before letting your mouth off trying to look cool in front of your little friends

just because I never pressed the keys doesn't mean I didn't control how it was programmed but as usual the less people know about it then the more they will continue to look stupid

[freestyler]

I thought DVD Stripper was an interactive xxx dvd by the looks of the topic

[MackemX]

lol, you could look it another way couldn't you

hey, you should see the splash though there's even an uncensored version

[The village idiot]

You guys do realise that about 80% of people will like this if it works. All that about 80% of the people want is a one click wonder, so they can "backup" their hollywood BlockBooster DVDs. I could say the same about another hobby, but won't say exactly what it is they just want their free this or free that, in this case one click here, one click there. The use of freeware for profit runs even more rampant in that other hobby, and for much larger amounts of money too. Now those of you that remember my statements about the printer projects know where I'm coming from. The only thing I can say to their benefit is at least they are not charging a huge amount for the GUI...Whatever, i'm sure I will ignore the rest of this thread. And I'm sure I will not buy the GUI, I'll learn how it all works the hard way. What will really piss them off is if someone writes a FREE GUI that does most or all the same things, so if you really hate the idea that much, starting writing that code

[defense]

@ MackemX ...boy are you full of it. You are more full of it then a City Dump! Oh, you don't know what that is...but i'll be kind and tell you. It's a dumping ground for many cities entire TRASH. Boy are the city dumps stinky and boy are they full of crap. You know exactly what you were trying to imply when you said you CO-DEVELOPED the proggy. Of course, it was obvious from anyone that knew you...you didn't develop a thing. I mean, hell, where would you get the time to develop anything..even if you did know what you were doing...when you spend so much time crying to everyone for weeks on end about posters such as syndicate foo/ElQueso.

My guess is other then convince this Arianos that you were the most popular member of this forum..(which sadly, you honestly believe)...what else did you do to CO-DEVELOP this thievery? Oh, wait..it just hit me...yes...you are the one that came up with the INGENIUS name of "DVD STRIPPER." My, how creative and unique. I feel bad for you Mac.....you did all the hard work. I mean coming up with a name like that..WOW.....genius to say the least....Arianos got off easy..all he had to do was write the proggy.

By The Way..Menuedit is free...it's $16.50 for the so called "advanced" version..but I have yet to see a reason to need the "advanced" version...I don't need to see the buttons....the outlay is perfect. For the other misc. functions...most would probably agree..there are other options.

[DaWulf]

LOL....

Interesting idea.... I've been thinking about something along these lines for a bit and since I can't accept any money it would HAVE to be freeware....

[adam]

Ok, there is no reason to make this personal. If you don't like the software, its author's, or the fact that it is payware then just don't buy it. Making this software payware when it just seems to be a gui for freeware programs may not be the most selfless way to release it, but as long as he has permission to do so I don't see any moral dillema. If he has taken part in the creation of something that is his own, then he has a right to charge money for it.

MackemX, one thing I would like to know is how this is not just a gui/frontend for IFOEdit and Dvd Decryptor, as I've seen you state elsewhere in this forum. Exactly what can this software do that cannot be done with the previously mentioned programs? I think this is a fair question for a potential customer to ask, and I don't think its something that one should have to pay $20 to find out.

If this software simply automates what would otherwise be manual operations in IFOEdit and DVD Dec., then sure it may be useful for some people, but I think its misleading to say that it is not a gui.

[MackemX]

@ adam, thanks for stepping in and trying to calm down the lynch mob

some people just think this is a GUI, I can accept that seeing as too many 'know it alls' seem to give the impression thats all it is. I have tried to show in my earlier reference how this tool works in relation to a similar program called Menuedit yet I do not see the same crap about this tool as I do see here about DVDStripper. It uses Ifoedit in exactly the same way and also relys on a 3rd party ripping tool but the actual removal and modification of the VOB's is done by the tool itself

some people are probably just too lazy to go have a read of this post here on doom9 to try to help them understand what this tool offers and how it works
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63438&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post387513

people over at Doom9 have also been shouting their mouths off about this tool and like some of the guys here, they know very little about it and it's rather funny watching everyone guess. It's only a shame they have to resort to insults and attacks upon the program, myself and the coder due to their own lack of knowledge!

DVDStripper offers to do the whole editing feature in one sitting that shouldn't take anyone longer than 10 minutes with the majority of DVD's even if they don't know how to load a DVD

all the rest, ripping and rebuilding etc has been automated so that DVDStripper gives Joe Bloggs, who ain't even got a clue what Ifoedit or DVDDecrypter do, the easy and very fast option to basically reauthor the DVD by selectively removing the parts they don't want

this tool may not appeal to people who find Ifoedit a breeze and seeing as quite a few people visit my site using my guides I decided on automating them after finally finding a pogrammer who was willing to help me. Manual DVDStripping Guru's like myself ain't around in the large numbers that some seem to think. I have asked for this for tool for months now seeing as I cannot code but if you ever get to read the ABOUT in this program then people may get an idea of what is what

how many people here can honestly put up their hands and say they could get hold of a multi angle DVD with a complicated structure and remove the end credits, all logos, announcements, unwanted extras and still maintain the DVDStrcture within 10 minutes of actual usertime?. How about splitting a DVD with the same removal features yet maintain all the orginal chapters and working chapter selection menu's for both DVD's

judging by the amount of views DVDStripper has had on the tools page (over 1200 last time I looked) quite a few are genuinely interested in this tool. So apart from the usual heckling crowd of ususal suspects on this forum (very sad situation if I do say so and I apologise about any previous posts, but I do feel most will understand why I could be driven into posting stuff like that), most people are interested in this tool one way or another and in time all this nonsense will settle and then maybe people can once again may make judgement but with more information and facts available. Not every one is a DVDStripping Guru and people who have this to an art using the manual methods are in the minority. This tool allows anyone regardless of DVD structure/Ifoedit/DVDDecrypter knowledge to instantly have more editing powers than most manual methods can offer in a very short time

most of the people, if not all who have recieved this tool are more than happy with at the minute. There is no doubting people will eventually complain as it's human nature, but hey people complain about DVDShrink and that's FREE!!!!!

I just wish people could learn to control how they voice their opinions on guesswork sometimes but I doubt that will ever happen

Uhm...where exactly did u see my name on that thread? Till you posted the link above, I was unaware of it's existence! If I knew it existed, I would never start a new thread!!
But trully, I have to thank you for promoting me from just a movie enthusiast to the rank of author (I assume you mean programmer) .
Wait: It get's better:

MackemX obviously convinced this Arianos...(who by the way was allowing MackemX to use webspace for quite some time, and who is ultimately good “buddy/buddy” with good ole’ Mackem)....to ultimately write this proggy because with MackemX's "STARDOM" and "IMMENSE POPULARITY" on these forums...he could sucker enough people into purchasing the proggy to make it worth while.

Now I can finally ask MackemX for my rightful cut on the profits!!!
People, that's the stuff good investigative reporters are made of! And that's pure ...Bulls**t!!!!
Man, where did you ever get this stuff? What are you smoking? REALLY! I want it!!!!
Also, the only true advice I can give you, is to find something more useful to do with your fingers (hint, hint), instead of punching the keyboard.

Also:
I visited it half an hour after my initial post, posted, and thought the thread had died....But boy!! It seems that indeed this tool has started a fire
GOOD!!
Because it's worth it 100%
I agree that forking money that something that you cannot test beforehand could be a little tricky, but as time goes by, more and more sutisfied customers 'surface'. Oh, I forgot: We are all in the scheme. And of course, Mr. Ocean is the leader of the pack. Take your pick Clooney, or Sinatra?
Or maybe, the 11 are a different bunch:

Again a case of good inverstigative journalism.... same grad year as defence (sigh)
To guys and gals interested in the program and have gotten so far:
Please, find the postings of ACTUAL users on the threads (links on the first posting of this thread) and decide for yourself if it's useful.

[beefgravy]

so what you are saying is that your tool totally destroys all the dvd structure,rips the hell out of the dvds compatiblity,and then it uses a program which is very well made and "free to donate to" make the dvd all better again?

interesting way to go about it i suppose.


you think you are helping the dvd community with this tool, when really you are totally ignoring it,and decide you know better about how a dvd should be structured/authored?

i have a feeling this is gonna come back and bite you in the ass.

I know who ass is gonna get bit as you are yet another who has posted without knowing the facts

like I say in time you will all be proven wrong

strange that you should mention it but funnily enough I do actually know a little bit about DVD structures and I guess that's why I decided to make my DVD Stripping methods public on my site.

I've had quite a few visits from users on this site which is shown HERE

can I ask where is your contribution to the forum that gives you the right to doubt my contribution?

[beefgravy]

so i am correct then.

in that case thank you for you offer but no thanks.

and what are these "facts" you keep quoting? am i right or not.

Yeah.., lest all be nice to one-another here :P

Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't our pal, Baldrick working
on something similar to this (or at least, has the potential to be added at a
later date anyways :P ) too ?? ..I hope, hehe..

Yea, so, until then, lets all enjoy the tools that are out their (no matter who
they come from )

However. I'd like to see posts of new gizmos that are either freeware
or fully operational trial-wares - - it's only fair that we are able to try w/ out
any bagages. But, never-the-less, lets all have fune in our endeavors

I didn't write that. Try hech54

[bugster]

Come on guys, calm down abit and lets look at this a bit more objectivley.

MackemX and others decided they would like to automate some of the procedures they regularly carry out semi-manually using tools such as IfoEdit. This required a fair amount of programming effort to achieve, irrespective of who wrote the actual code, the design was probably pretty time consuming too. Once completed to their satisfaction, it has been released to the general public for a fee of $20 per seat.

Now whatever you may think of this new tool, its own capabilities or the fact that it appears to act very much as an IfoEdit helper and front end, this has all been done and is history now. The success or failure of this tool will depend on the satisfaction of its users.

If you are the kind of person who may find this tool useful and have $20 to spend, you have every right to do so. If you don't want it, need it or don't like the way it has been developed or marketed then you have every right to feel that way too. What you don't have a right to do is to use these forums to bash those involved in the development, for whatever reasons, within these forums.

If any one wishes to continue discussion of dvd stripper, its merits or otherwise then please feel free to do so. However, keep it polite and keep it clean. No personal attacks or insults will be allowed. If this thread continues much more in the current vein it will be locked.

[MackemX]

@bugster
thanks for clearing things up as a lot of people are in the dark here and don't realise that DVDStripper also does a little more than just control Ifoedit

I hope rather than closing the thread that some would obviously love to see, you will control it instead

cheers

but I dont like when some piece of shit thief is trying to make bucks piggybacking on real coder's free work - with great pleasure I'll add my part in spreading your GUI for *free* (that is if anyone will want it LOL) its no shame to con the thief

Dude. This is for the last time when I'm replying to your personal attacks towards me on this board. From now on I will just report them as bashing/stalking. Since you enjoy being moderated here so much - sure its the least I can help you with.

please understand how something works before letting your mouth go and looking stupid

this tool works in no way different regarding Ifoedit as menuedit does as it also relies on Ifoedit, yet I dont see you or anyone else crying about that?

it's obvious the real reason behind people's posts in this forum and I hope the mods can control this speculation as well as Doom9 did, and I hope the mods can keep control without having to resort to closing the thread due to people's incorrect assumptions

did you go ask what Derrow and LIGHTNING UK think about me using their tools?. No you didn't did you, yet I did stating I would be charging for DVDStripper and got permission to use the tools in the process, so what is your problem again?

I could quite easily disable the automation of DVDDecrypter and Ifoedit, but I'm sure most will enjoy the ease of it only taking one click

shoot me down when you have some live ammo because at the minute you are just firing blanks

p.s. hmmmmmm, your post looks like you are promoting the use of warez and offering the means to do it, so I'll let the mods deal with you instead of making my own comments as I'm sure they will be interested in what you just said

Youre right, I didnt ask Derrow nor anyone. If you have their blessing then I'd take my words back and I'd apologize if its true.

it's obvious the real reason behind people's posts in this forum

Please be more specific. I don't understand what you mean by "real reason" why do we all post in this thread? I certainly cant answer for other posters, but Im sure my 'reason' had been stated sound'n'clear in the begining of my 1st post of this thread.
It's very good that you can find someone willing to pay you for making a GUI (the more new tools out there the better of course!), but it is not good if only YOU benefit from it while your entire bundle mainly consist of that software - while your own input couldnt even exist without someone else's freeware included, I'm sure you agree? Yet as I said - if your use of the freeware has been done *with* the permission then I will apologize.

your post looks like you are promoting the use of warez and offering the means to do it

Now here its you who's shooting blanks.
Obviously "The means to do it" have basically every non dial-up user of this board. And as to "promoting warez": if you are selling Derrow's freeware bundled with your GUI without his permission I can't see no crime on my side (assuming I would "promote warez") since I would be promoting same *freeware* to which someone (you) unlawfully added own code and claimed the whole thing. In this case it would be you who does at least business malpractice (if not ordinary software theft).

[MackemX]

Youre right, I didnt ask Derrow nor anyone. If you have their blessing then I'd take my words back and I'd apologize if its true.

I respect your answer as it takes a big man to admit he is wrong and maybe some others here will take a leaf out of your book before letting their opinions get the better of them

to all others, do you honestly think I would publicly release this tool and charge for it before going through the correct channels?

and again I urge people to withold their judgement until they see the program or read a review. At the minute there is no demo but there may be one in the future but if I am allowed and it is within forum rules, I have no problem donating a few copies to people for their own pleasure in the mean time

as for the rest of the post, we'll just forget it anyway as I'm sure it was all based on misunderstandings and if you knew what you know now I'm sure things would have been different so I retract anything I said that may have offended you

thanks for posting

It's cases like this when leaked serials make everything even out in the end. I'm NOT advocating this, but this seems to be the common response.

I could say the same about another hobby, but won't say exactly what it is they just want their free this or free that, in this case one click here, one click there. The use of freeware for profit runs even more rampant in that other hobby, and for much larger amounts of money too......The only thing I can say to their benefit is at least they are not charging a huge amount for the GUI...

So true. So horribly true. And it's destroyed that hobby.
You have to be your own programmer these days, and rely on nobody.

What will really piss them off is if someone writes a FREE GUI that does most or all the same things, so if you really hate the idea that much, starting writing that code

I'm sure somebody will decompile and alter to a new program. Free this time. That's what always happens in the video-freeware-for-sale scenario that I've seen in past years.

------

If all the authors got together for this new interface on their old tools, it should be said in their marketing to prevent this kind of backlash. That would be cool too.

I don't even know why I'm responding to this to be truthful. I never need IFO Edit. Too much time on my hands. Sorry for taking up space. :P

I think the word "stripper" suckered me in.

At the minute there is no demo but there may be one in the future but if I am allowed and it is within forum rules, I have no problem donating a few copies to people for their own pleasure in the mean time

I don't know why it wouldn't be allowed for you to donate copies. I would love to try your program and I'll report back with a thorough review.

I didn't have to buy DVDx-copy? Wish I knew about this site 6 months ago or even 12!

I've had so many frustrations with xcopy and what it CAN't do. I gather that Ifoedit does a better job but takes more manual labor?

[Gees]

The only problem I have with all this was that it was so heavily hyped for weeks leading up to its "release".

Just about any ripping question was quickly responded to with a reply about this upcoming tool - watch this space, soon your problems will be solved-type posts - with very handy signature links (which by itself explains the many hits).

In all those posts, and there were many! - I thought it was going to be a free app. Now I see it all amounted to no more than a heck of a lot of free advertising to a very targeted audience.
