I was coming here to post this, but I was downloading it at the same time. Now I have it installed.
This is an exact copy of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. They just changed the color up a little.
Heres fast convrter pro pic
Heres a pic of winx platinum

I don't what do y'all think?lol
But for free you might as we'll get it while you can. You can't be sure that Digiarty isn't licensing to dvdfast, esp. if they upgraded their software.I emailed them, since I used a licensed version of winx. That and it seems that digital thievery is rampant nowadays.

I wonder if everyone gets the same code?
Posted 15 years ago # -
Mines is XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX . I decided to mix it up this time and left the 2 in the middle blank, so thats what the 2 underlines represent goodgotd.
I've rebooted since yesterday and that means my computer has a new ip and I getting the same code still.
Its probably a universal code.
Mod Edit: I relize you left some blank but let's let people get it for themself and not even have a clue as to what it is. Not sure what the website's rules are for this giveaway or if it's even allowed to be advertised like this so just being careful lol.Posted 15 years ago # -
figured. I thought just the last 4 digits would be ok, but hey, I got my answer anyway.
what tipped me off was the 'give it to 10 friends' line- didn't think they'd try and keep track...
and this is the video converter. the ripper probably looks just as close, though.

Seems like a copy of someone else software like Txnnok said!
Based on the Company Awards they list on their web page (BTW, they are NOT clickable), I searched for them on the different sites mentioned and found zero/zilch about it.
It looks fishy to me!
And they are not called http://www.dvdfast.net for nothing, look at their copyright at the bottom of the page, it states:
Copyright © 2009 - 2010 http://www.dvdfast.net
Wow, that's what I call fast as we are still in 2009! LOL
P.S.: The McAfee SiteAdvisor button on my browser is gray and they have this to say about it.

Well guys I found out about this giveaway through Iobit. They have advertised this giveaway in their "Advanced SystemCare." Iobit seems to be pretty trusted and I doubt they would advertise something that wasn't legit.
P.S And yes the serial provided by the site is universal and the same for everybody. But please do not post it here. The point of the giveaway is for people to submit what they are thankful for so they can compile a list. And I don't think they want the serial getting out for people to use after the giveaway is over.

Got some news from Digiarty. The Converter is not a rip off. Here is a copy of the email it is short and I am going to leave the guys name. I don't know how public or official they want to make it.

For "Fast Video Converter PRO" issue, iobit is just one of our OEMs. Thanks very much for your information.

I just found this out. I have to many thoughts flying around my head as typing. I had come back and erase a lot conspiracy speculation about companies, branches, divisions,etc..., You get the point.The one clear thought I do have that isnt related to that stuff, is it possible they Digiarty wanted to see if how well this converter would sell under a different name,
They create a "mach" co.(hope that spelled right), change up the product a little and sell it under a promotor.
--------------I think their biggest problem lies in a few things. No mkv, no hd, and few other advanced features q-pell, gmc, bvop encoding, trell quantization.
My point is these are features you can get on many other converters for the same money.
Now that I a more aware I wouldnt buy Winx, I would buy something with more advanced features it matters. Thankfully I only paid 7.50 for it. The ripper was was the best purchase for that price to.I'm gonna post a good converter in about 5 minutes that you can for free that does everything and then some.did I say for free, oh yea for free,lol

60% [minimum! I always knew I was in the wrong racket!] of $30 leaves a lotta wiggle room to rake in the loot. iobit sells at $25, gets at least $13 for every sale after the giveaway loss-leader gets name recognition and some recommendations. Which might not cost them much at all, if they have a deal set up with WinXDVD...
who I gather are planning an update soon, which of course the gobble-day edition probably won't upgrade to free.
Feels a lot like chasing down that "my audio studio" and finding the shell game Audio Editor Deluxe was (is still?) playing, trying to find how to sell more of the same thing rebranded or with a shell for people that don't want to read the manual. (I'm rather amazed that one didn't stick around longer)
Ha- cross-typing strikes again Txnnok! different methods, similar result. IOBit did the setup, not digiarty. (sure sounds like sherlock holmes' nemesis, doesn't it?)

This makes sense why there are so many of these converters now. They just do something similar to this and your in business. Iobit is fortunate cause name recognition will sell for them.
They are liable to make a ton off this when this promotion ends and people start buying it. I just can't see this going off without an update though and I have been waiting for that from Winx, since their promotion was over.They have flawed marketing strategy it is good, but it needs work, like selling an updated version once the promotion is over that is faster and does more.

Speak of the devil and we get it for a giveaway,lol
hey y'all this is really is a good ripper get it while you can.
-------------------------------------------------
Also on another note, I noticed I put a pic up of the ripper posted above. Here is a pic of the converter.It is a bit different,but still the same.

Thanks Chip, et al
for the link and the discussion & analysis.For those not too familiar with downloading from sites other than GOTD:
Read very carefully before olicking on "Download" buttons - you will see a few for other software before reaching the one you actually want.Posted 15 years ago # -
For Being Called "Fast Video Converter" it sure is slow. I used the same file with the same video converting parameters in both Fast Video Converter and Format Factory and the result was, in time, Format Factory - 1 min 40 seconds Fast Video Converter - 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Posted 15 years ago # -
I entered different names and I got the exact same codes. Maybe it's different for each IP/computer/session.
Posted 15 years ago # -
most of these converters get about a 3 to 1 conversion rate which is really slow. Format Factory does it a little faster it uses avi synth,ffmeg, the standard free stuff and gets a little abit better than that. 3.5 to 1
this mean 2hours of movie equals 1 hour of conversion. so really a 2 hour movie is what about 30 to 45 minutes. my times are a little off, but you get the point.
I'm not a math genius.there are some quicker free ones like staxrip or avi recomp and there are plug ins to speed them up, make the pictures sharper nicer, cleaner.
I have hard time with stax rip, but use the crude out of the other, but it still takes 20 minutes regardless of what plug in you use.
NOW There is a speed demon out there and will convert a whole movie in minutes.
It is called Badaboom. It uses gpu, by using a program called cuda. It will the wave of the future. I guarantee it.
You can get info here, there site is vague.

The trials though are cool though, they are not time based. They are used based, so they last for like 20 tries and then its gone. Oh and bad conversions count , so pay attention and read what works and what don't.
Here's a link if anyone wants to try or you can click the badaboom site link trial, same one.
