MakeMKV beta 1.6.15

<< < (3/9) > >>

MilesAhead:
It's free to use for who knows how long.

Innuendo:
I'd rather not get hooked on a program's features and then have the rug pulled out from under me later, so to speak.

I'll wait to see if there are any sales on the horizon.

MilesAhead:
Keep your eyes open since the copy protection/registration service he uses has an option to apply a discount.  Somebody already asked about it on the forum.

MilesAhead:
btw another feature that's not in the forefront, this software can do a full backup of BluRay disc to your HD.  There are other dedicated programs like AnyDVDHD and DVDFab PassKey that are still in beta.  AnyDVDHD has a history of requiring renewed purchase after a period of time.  I have no way to know the price point of DVDFab PassKey when it goes out of beta.

The author of MakeMKV promises a one shot $50 registration fee that never expires.  Just something to consider. Plus it's still in beta and free for use for who knows how long.

edit: btw I already paid for my copy.  Can use on as many machines as I own personally. I don't get any brownie points, kickback or free anything for touting it. I guess I just like "one programmer" projects.  Nice to have something that works that isn't done by committee.

This is an inaccurate statement. AnyDVD HD is definitely not in beta although beta versions of upcoming versions are frequently released.

Also, if one purchases a lifetime license one does not have to renew purchases after a period of time. The only time something like this remotely happened was when AnyDVD HD was released and it was a paid upgrade from AnyDVD. AnyDVD HD should have been named something different as it includes functionality that was never within the scope of AnyDVD.

Now having said that even though I bought both AnyDVD & AnyDVD HD a long time ago at a deeply discounted price compared to what these programs are going for today. I don't think I could recommend anyone buying them at their current price.
