Virus Scan for freeTunes 3.0

Indria Moores Help me here! So many products and I am not sure which one is the right one for me. Let see... I have old DVD movie and some CD music. I have PC. I want to convert them so I can play those movie and music on my iPad2. Which on is the correct one to purchase?
Thanks.

Indria Moores I forgot... I also purchased movie from Amazon Digital Store but the movie won't play on my iPad. what a waste because of different format or something. So... which software will allow me to do this and copy DVD to a format that I can play on my iPad2. iPad is better for traveling, my laptop is still to big to carry around. Thanks.

Phil Tobin Rescuing an old cassette tape requires more than the capture of the analog audio by software such as freeTunes. Link below is to an excellent Wiki article about how to do this and the kind of cabling / connectivity involved. The article's caveat about volume is especially worth noting:

VLM Phil Tobin - Thank you! I have just begun on such a project! Perfect timing!

I am aware that to transfer from cassettes, the software used must be capable of identifying and removing background hiss and such. I wonder whether this freeTunes does that, or perhaps some other tool is better.

Advice appreciated!

Andrew Lea "....make digital backups of important CDs and DVDs, even if they're protected by DRM."
Spoiler alert!
Just tried it on a couple of movies I bought on DVD. "This DVD is copy protected. This DVD could not be converted."
Works great on music CD's.

Brian H Hi- this looks like an interesting program! From the product website: "The program plays the protected files, records the sound anew during playback and stores them in a different music format." Is the re-recording speed 1x or faster? Also, can the program handle files from "Audible.com", clubbing the newer "enhanced" files in the ".AAX" format? Thanks. -Brian

Rick Truell VLM: With a similar project on my ever-growing to-do list, I took a look at the website for freeTunes. I see no indication that the program is capable of removing hiss or rumble (typically encountered when converting vinyl) from recordings. In fact, I see no mention of cassettes on the site...the only place cassettes are mentioned is in the promo copy here on BDJ. From what I saw on the website, I suspect freeTunes is designed solely for converting digital files, and a different program would probably be better for converting cassettes (or vinyl).

As to what that different program might be, the Wiki article that Phil linked to suggests the use of Audacity, a free audio recorder/editor. I agree that Audacity is a good choice...I've used it a few times for other things (snagging 30 secs. of an audio file for use as a ringtone for my iPhone, for one thing) and it seems fairly easy to use. Additionally, it seems to be a pretty common go-to program for this kind of thing. If you check audio stores, you'll find that these days you can get turntables and cassette decks with USB connectors. These devices were designed specifically to make it easy to convert cassettes/vinyl to digital. You just plug the device into a USB port on your computer, possibly load in a driver, install and run the included recording software and away you go. And the recording software that's included with these devices? Pretty much every one I've seen includes Audacity! When a commercial product includes a freeware program rather that creating their own, it kinda speaks volumes for the freeware program, doesn't it? :-)

Rick Truell Andrew: I've seen that message a couple of times myself from another program that claims to do a 1:1 copy of DVD's, regardless of DRM. After clicking "OK" on the message, the program kept copying anyway. I suspect the message is a way to keep from having DMCA problems with the MPAA...most people, upon seeing the message, would probably immediately terminate the program, figuring it wasn't going to work, as the message suggests. But if the program is willing to keep going, and you just let it run ....... :-)

internet explorer Search for Update button also produces text that is only in German, as well as Help, and I did select English when installing, so there is a problem somewhere despite the best of intentions, I am sure. And I still cannot find where to enter the Registration Code, If any of you reading this know where to look to enter it, please pass it along. Thanks in advance. UPDATE: I just reinstalled it twice, once normally and once with Run as Administrator and still no English help or update and no place to enter registration code. In case it makes a difference, I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. If there is not some kind of resolution to these problems, I will be very disappointed in Engelmann Media, to say the least.

PC I think it was properly registered but there was no confirmation and I cannot find a way to check. I've restarted it a couple of times and it seems OK - no pop-up screen to buy or register. To poster "internet explorer" above: there was a screen after installation in front of the main program - this screen was where I entered the registration code in several chunks. My help file is also in German and I installed in English. Regardless, thanks to Bits Du Jour and Engelmann for the software!

internet explorer I have now examined some of the files that make up freeTunes 3.0 and have discovered some interesting details in the fTunes.xml file. First, it changes from English to German about halfway through and then back to English. Second, there is apparently supposed to be a Registration button, as several divisions of it are specified. Third, there is also a section on shareware trial time left, which is also not appearing on my version. Query whether that means it has been deactivated in this version and thus no Registration Code will be needed? If so, I wonder if that was intentional or accidental? Also, I have only found one help file and it is in German. So it looks like somebody somewhere may have goofed up and let what seems to be a beta version out the door, which possibly means we have not even found all the problems yet. Not very encouraging, is it? Of course, none of this is BDJ's fault.

Robin Mooney Does this have to be installed and registered today to remain free?

George Butel The promo above is a little strange. CDs and DVDs are already digital, and most people have no trouble playing them. I'm trying to find out what this program actually does. Is it a CD ripper and an audio file converter? The reference to cassettes is odd also: there's no need to "future proof" cassettes since they are already in the past, and there is no DRM on them to worry about when you digitize them. I've been using Sound Forge and Wave Corrector to digitize my vinyl and cassettes for years, and still haven't finished it all. As far as removing DRM info, there have been a number of DRM schemes, the most annoying of which still in use affect VHS tapes, DVDs, and digitally downloaded files. Any program that intercepts and records the audio/video stream and re-records it will bypass any DRM; the problem with that is that it requires real time conversion. Digital downloads can merely be converted to different formats; a number of programs do that. As far as dvds are concerned, I doubt that this program, for free, is going to do what something like dvdfab will do. Anyway, what IS this program? I see that it gets given away regularly. I have some other GmbH software, software that cost money, and I am most happy with it.

internet explorer IMPORTANT UPDATE: YOU CAN GET ENGLISH HELP FILES BY DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE TRIAL VERSION FROM THEIR WEBSITE! No need to uninstall first, but be sure to check English. If you had already registered the BDJ copy you won't have to do it again (unless you uninstalled?), because it will read the code already stored on your computer! That's why I didn't see the registration screen on mine, as I had previously downloaded and installed this same program 2 or 3 months ago from DSG site and thus my computer already had the code stored and today's software just used that. Thus, I have no further problem with this program since I probably don't want to update to a future version that is not free. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused, but I simply forgot that I had previously installed and registered this software. Thanks, P. Brown for your prompt reply; thinking about that gave me a clue that explained why I had not seen that window on mine. NOTE: by downloading the trial edition, you also get an updated copy, version 3.0.12.648, although the website says it's v. 3.0.11.1100.

Peter Blaise There has been no response yet to my direct email to Engleman asking for English help.

I tried loading the web trial version and got the same same.

Note to everyone, you do NOT have to install today, you can save the install program and serial number for reinstall anytime, the beauty of BTJ versus GOTD.

Engelmann Software @James: We are using DirectShow technology and before the conversion DirectShow enumerates all devices in the system. Maybe that’s why the other software detects access to your camera. But freeTunes doesn’t use the cam, don’t worry!

@All other: Please simply download the latest version from our homepage. Thank you!
