Anybody ever found a hacked version of any "supposed BluRay/UHD rippers" like DVDFab, DumboFab or Leawo that actually worked? I really liked Leawo and got a good copy from TorrentGalaxy but when it attempts to read the BluRay and, I guess, get its information, the software returns an error message and freezes up. The only software I've found that'll handle most everything is MakeMKV but the only thing I don't like about MakeMKV is no preview option plus sometimes it coughs a furball on regular DVDs.

This may not be the place but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I need some guidance on video conversion software. I've pirated & tried Aiseesoft Video Converter, Wondershare UniConverter, VideoProc, Winxvideo AI & ffmpeg although I don't do very well with the command line and can't find one solution to do everything I need.

I'm seeking support for multiple file processing, custom profiles (resolution, aspect, etc.), all modern CODECs including HEVC, AV1/Opus, basic video editing, AMD Hardware Acceleration (have a Radeon RX 470 graphics card), hard and soft subtitles, audio normalization & constant rate or target bitrate control modes.

I've only ever found one software that would do all of these things & that was VSO's ConvertXtoVideo. Unfortunately, the company has downsized & only has 1 or 2 programmers and while they claim to be working on an UHD Converter, all they have right now is an Alpha version which, basically, does nothing.

If anyone can steer me in the direction of a free or paid software that will do most of what I'm wanting I'd be very grateful.

Ok so I grabbed the portable version from Sourceforge to pirate a few of my favorite channels from YT and after a few minutes of working, Malwarebytes Pro coughs up a furball and tells me one of the files is infected with a Generic.Ransomeware???

Anyone else ever run across or hear of anything like this? I know false positives are rampant these days but I'd rather not take the chance.

Also, not to sound stupid but is Sourceforge not the original place to get Tartube???

Thanks for any constructive input!

Ok, I need some insight before I go back into Torrenting. I need a piece of software from a less than reputable company (Wondershare). Now I know Keygens can be run through Sandboxie or a VM to get the key but how do Patches and Cracks work?

One of TorrentGalaxy's most trusted uploaders & software patchers keeps the software updated and uploaded & includes in the download listing the www.virustotal.com report for the installation files which shows a clean listing; however the Patch shows a listing for multiple AV/Malware software which shows the Patch being a virus. So, how do I use the software if the Patch is "infected". Am I missing something? Thanks!

I'm looking for a free GUI that can download a YouTube channel in a particular language (i.e. Japanese) with it's associated English subtitles preferably in SRT format.

I used 4K Video Downloader which worked fine for the "old" YT even though it was limited and I had to uninstall and reinstall a few times I got exactly what I wanted.

Then Google in all their stupidity decided to put all streams for a single video together so I can't get what I want from 4K without downloading the video and then splitting the stream some way and downloading the Japanese audio to go with it.

Can anyone give me a simpler alternative to what I'm trying to do? I would appreciate any constructive input. Thanks!

Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.

Will or can the HEVC_AMF encoder support Profile 10 or 10-Bit HEVC? I've installed the full version of ffmpeg into the ffmpeg Batch converter I use but can't seem to get the two things together. I'm a little vauge on terminology but I think I'm asking the correct question. Thanks!

After a recent data loss, I'm reconsidering various CODECs before re-encoding my re-pirated "loot". I'm looking to maintain a good balance between quality and file size as my previous files were HUGE. I've read about x264, h264, h265 & vp9 for video and it's between AAC or AC-3 for audio. I'm looking for long-term and broad device compatibility. Also, I'll be using FFBatch front-end for ffmpeg for re-encoding. So, fellow pirates, what are your libraries coded in? Any helpful input would be greatly appreciated.

My last foray into Torrenting was when TWC was taken over by Spectrum and I was using uTorrent like crazy. We had Spectrum ONE week and I got a DMCA letter. This is the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.

Although I've found a lot of information on Qbittorrent, I would like to know from some long-time users what are the minimum things I must set within the client to be safe, discrete but also have a good Download/Upload experience. I am using ExpressVPN.

Thanks so much!
