  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

VideoReDo video software may not survive much longer.
It's website is offline - http://videoredo.com/
Current installs can't check for updates.
New software installs can't be activated.

Its forum is still working at videoredo.net
You can see posts about the current issues there.

I know Steve Gibson has used this software in the past.
Just thought Steve & other users of this forum may like to know about this.
 
Don't know this software, and trying to learn more was basically bust. (The reference to the forum isn't working for me.) I did see it had something to do with Tivo, which would explain why @Steve ever used it. If I had to guess, it either isn't selling well enough to be maintained any more, or else it's a product out of Russia and is being affected by the current world situation.

👍 Thanks for the "heads up" Gavin. ℹ️ I purchased VideoReDo Plus in Nov 2006 to convert the .REC data files copied from my Topfield Personal Video Recorder (PVR) into clean error corrected and/or edited .MPG files. I still use it. I guess I have a problem if I rebuild my PC or get a new one.

Just following up on this with some sad news:


VideoRedo is no longer available for purchase!​

Unfortunately the owner and founder of VideoReDo, Dan Rosen, passed away unexpectedly in September. For now all sales, support and development have been halted while his family decides what to do with the company.​

 
Very sorry to hear this! I used to use Womble MPEG Wizard for quick edits of mpg-2 files that avoids recompression, but that hasn't been in development or for sale for quite some time. So I bought VideoReDo TV Suite a couple of years ago and it has all of Womble's capabilities and more. Plus, it was still being supported and updated.

Condolences to the family and RIP, Mr. Rosen. I hope there is a way to keep things going that works out for you was well as your user base. (Yeah, I know they're not going to see it here...)
 
VLC media player will convert between formats, and allow some very limited tweaking of files. It is not a full video editor though.
 
You might look at ShotCut. The UI is not as simple as VideoReDo but it’s a powerful product

 
If you still have your license key, there's a decent chance that you can install it on a new machine or a replacement hard drive. I use VideoReDo TV Suite 6 and was able to reinstall and activate it on a new computer build in late January.

The developer mention by @Gavin in an earlier post has generously donated resources at his own expense to make activation possible. As I mentioned, I was able to achieve this several months ago, but I don't know if it's still going strong. Certainly worth a try, though!
