Does anybody use RipBot264 ??

It has an awesome frame accurate cutting function that also handles subtitles.

It is a manual operation, but works flawlessly!!

But like anything, once you get to know it, it's easy peasy.

I also use VRD, but it doesn't do subtitles.

Do you know of a program that automatically removes commercials from a series or movie?

The ONLY one that does it almost perfectly is VRD !!!

So unless you can get a genuine copy and register it like it's been explained above, you'll have to get a "pirated" version from somewhere.

VideoReDo is the ONLY thing on this planet that does anything remotely near a good QuickStreamFix (QSF) especially in a GUI-less scheduled (batch) task.

There's simply no replacement, and I've looked hard. Some say they do, but end up only doing it partially and/or crashing if not a "windows gui experience".

I use VRD mainly for QSF and occasionally cutting up videos, and ffmpeg for everything else. ffmpeg works fine but has nothing even remotely like what QSF does.

That would be not the only problem.

If you use image from previous PC and put it in the new built PC it will de-activate Windows because of the new motherboard.

How would you deal with this?

No problem at all, you would simply use the same serial key to activate it on the new PC as you used on the previous windows image, or go buy a serial key to activate it with.

Making sure that you get a Key that matches the exact version that you have.

Please don't use this language in here, we don't need people in this forum reading rubbish like that.

Plenty of other software options to choose from, some however may not do some things quite as well as VRD does.

Hi Bridgy, as a fellow Aussie, I knew that when I posted that comment I might "be in trouble"....but it's just a fact of life.

Sometimes it's the only option

Hi fellow Aussie, my post was kind of more in gest, tongue in cheek stuff, however it is very much frowned upon to mention anything to do with Pirated software in this forum, that is why i posted what i did.

In cases where there is any kind of software still openly available and still being sold, and then people openly use a pirated version of that software rather than pay for it, i call that theft, but in the case of VRD where people had bought a copy originally but may now lose the ability to re-activate it again, especially on a new computer, then one can argue that they should have the right to use a pirated version if one is available, but if you never bought VRD originally and you do use a pirated version, then you have no right to do so.

I just don't think that this, or any other forum, is the place for anyone to discuss piracy or illegal use of software, and i do believe that this topic should be avoided, especially when people start throwing up links do download it.

Cheers

Hi Bridgy, thanks for the reply & explanation

Like I said, I thought I'd get some comment back regarding the "pirated" word (P word), but I wouldn't go as far as to attach a link or similar

So, as we all know VRD (any flavour) doesn't process subtitles, which is a major oversight on behalf of the dev's, so I have been using the segmenting option built into RipBot264, where you can cut the video. wherever you want, it also cuts the audio & subtitles to match .

However, I very recently acquired VRD 6 Pro, and it has some mention of subtitles in the settings (that I don't understand), but then after a quick Google search I (it) found "SubReDo" which appears to be a python base app that CAN cut VRD project files (.Vprj) subtitles.

https://pypi.org/project/subredo/

Have you had any experience with this ??

I'd certainly like to know how to get it to do its thing, would be so much easier & quicker.

Cheers.

I have never heard of or seen this tool before, but because my purpose of using VRD Pro is somewhat different to most others, i personally have no use for this tool as i don't work with TV related or files with subs in them.

Be interested to see what others think.

OK, well something new...

I will have to re visit here, to see if anyone else has experience with SubReDo.

I have followed all instructions for the manual VRD activation, but the server replied with the following error message: “invalid System ID”. What could I do to fix the activation?

[Marayong]

There is an inbuilt coded limitation in VRD that has the unfortunate consequence that attempts to activate VRD after early August 2025 will fail. If the developer was still alive, he would have reset that clock, as he has done before .. but he isn't. There is however a workaround, as described on page 9 of this forum. Or go here for details: https://www.reddit.com/r/videoredo/comments/1mwzga3/workaround_to_activation_issue/

Basically, you install VRD, TURN YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM CLOCK BACK TO 1-1-2025, do the VRD activation process and then reset the computer clock back to the present date. This only applies to the non-pro version. This fix has been tested by multiple users and works. Of course, you need all the relevant activation keys.

[The Old Fart]

I have only just come across this website. I used Videoredo for many years until it went belly up.

I still have emails from Hyperreality which says I upgraded to VideoReDo TVSuite H264 v4 to VideoReDo TVSuite v5.

Is this website saying that I can download and use the program again? Or are only the newer/better versions available?

[Marayong]

VRD has never stopped working or gone belly up. After the developer died, naturally enough there were no further updates. However .. the developer employed a coder to do a lot of the coding and he is still around and, as far as is possible, continuing to keep VRD alive. He actually now owns the rights to the name (but not the code) and has set up a copy of the activation server. That means that as long as you have the relevant keys, you can install VRD on a new pc and activate it. The activation server works for both VRD v5 and v6. VRD4 uses a different activation method, so you would need to contact Dan to get it activated. He can be reached on the reddit VRD forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/videoredo/

[Bridgy]

If you do not have your original Registration/License or Activation keys that were given to you when you bought your VRD, then you are out of luck.

Nobody has been able to buy this software since the owner passed away.
