I have a question. I use this program extensively for general video work. I like the ease of use and the versitility it gives me in creating an edited video file.
So why are all the older versions ( < V 11.xxx) torrents so popular while newer ones have very few seeders in comparison?
Just curious as the current OEM releases are in the V 15 range with no cracked versions around, why didn't the cracks keep up?
 
I only use "Videoproc" and "HD Video Converter Factory Pro"

Wondershare was slow and did not perform well for me at all.
 
For video converting, I use Vidcoder. It's basically Handbrake with a few revisions. And it's free. What I like about Vidcoder is you can choose a specific file size for the converted file. Handbrake doesn't give you that option, and I don't think Wondershare does, either.
 
I was just going thru how people are ripping these days.
How many downloaders have a theater that can realistically reproduce 5.1 audio tracks. I am not talking about stacking a bunch of speakers near each other, rather speaker placement in an acoustically clean room with the sound system deployed that can accurately reproduce a 5.1 track the way it was transcribed originally? Those 5.1 tracks take up alot of space. DTS sound tracks used to be a big deal too and took up a bunch of file space. You would be hard pressed and unless you have an exceptionally good ear you can't tell the difference.
Up next is frame rates. Unless you are watching the video on a very high quality monitor and video card, 60 fps is nonsense. The eye/brain connection tops out at 30fps max. I highly doubt if you watched a rip on an ordinary 55" flat screen you couldn't tell the difference btwn PAL or NTSC frame rates and 60 fps. The worst is one the ripper takes a 30 fps source and tries to encode it at 60 fps. See the problem?
Where I find the big problem is these higher compression codecs do so in many cases dropping key frames. Is that important? Try fast forward or backing a program up, it may freeze if the key frames are missing or damaged. Key frames take up space, but well worth it.
Comments are welcome. I've doing rips for a log time.
 
From what Ive seen of the film industry, downloading the films and stuff these days is pointless when you can get most of them free on TV Streaming services.
Occasionally one or two slip through the net, (no pun intended there ) I cant recall when I last downloaded a recent movie or series. If I wan ta copy of a series its easy enough to stream capture it off a service for later viewing or in the UK we have some wicked DVD sites for stuff on 2nd user dvd / bluray for a couple of quid.

Musicmagpie is the one I use and I havent been disappointed by the codec being a bodge out of a University back room.

This is why I think the Usenet is such an invaluable resource for current TV shows and zero-day movie releases of the highest quality from all the good release groups in many high-quality formats and multi-channel audio if your system plays 5.1 or even 7.1. Always available 24/7 at over 100MB/s with no delays with complete anonymity. Unfortunately the servers charge a subscription fee as well as the good index servers.
