I think I successfully stopped it from doing it though. I scanned the install folder with Spybot...what is "palsol"? That is the only thing out of the ordinary Spybot found. | ||||||

| Nicceeeeeee!!!!
I'm a mpeg2vcr fan myself, but I can make use of the extras this nice program offers! | ||||||
| bendixG15 posted 2009 Sep 16 11:54 | ||||||
It checks your computer for apps that have updates. I found a few that I didn't know about. But I did decide to remove it and it was an easy uninstall. | ||||||

| sweet..I'm gonna tell my friend about this..their wedding video is an absolute turd because of all the stupid transitions and nonsensical order he chose to put things together (I made a slideshow for them and he sticks it right in the middle of everything!).
end rant..this is an awesome program. | ||||||

| The only thing if you have to reformat after tomorrow then you cant use the program again. | ||||||
| edDV posted 2009 Sep 16 14:02 | ||||||
| I'm wondering if it will be reinstallable in the future, for example when Win7 is released. For this reason I'm going to get it into my XP partition disk image. | ||||||
| mikel posted 2009 Sep 16 14:27 | ||||||
| When started up...mine says 30 day free trial...
I hope they will send me the serial # to keep it activated. | ||||||
| freebird73717 posted 2009 Sep 16 14:32 | ||||||
| The serial number is in the readme text file in the same folder as the setup file. | ||||||

| Much thanks :) | ||||||

After full install, copy the folder in the Programs directory to a new location and export the key HKCU\software\womble. Then zip them up together 1. On new computer, unzip to the programs directory, create a new shortcut 2.double click your reg file to import it into your registry 3.start the program or skip 2 and just add the key in manually | ||||||

If it could cure the user's bad taste and poor sense of organization, it would really be super software. Sadly, all it can do is follow the user's instructions accurately and efficiently. | ||||||

This works great.......I installed it on my laptop (XP32), then copied the the install folder and reg key to my desktop (Vista 64) system. It works perfectly. I tried it on some HDV footage and it worked great. I only want it for simple cuts and it seams to do the job well. | ||||||
| jman98 posted 2009 Sep 16 20:53 | ||||||
| OK, I downloaded it and installed it and I have a question. How the hell do you exit out of it? I have had to use the Task Manager to kill it because the X symbol one would normally use to close it is greyed out and can't be selected. I didn't find a Close option under any of the buttons, unless maybe I missed something. | ||||||
| JimmyS posted 2009 Sep 16 21:16 | ||||||
| There should be a toolbar showing with all of the various component icons on it. There will be an Exit icon at the right (door) as well as the normal closing "X" above it. | ||||||
| edDV posted 2009 Sep 16 21:18 | ||||||
There is a second small window bar with exit on the right side. | ||||||

| johns0 posted 2009 Sep 16 21:44 | ||||||
I uninstalled it and deleted all the reg files pertaining to womble and the womble folder i copied to d drive still works so wasnt sure,you did try it on another computer without using the reg file first to see if it asked for a key code? | ||||||
| JimmyS posted 2009 Sep 16 21:59 | ||||||
By using the component layout options (third icon from right on toolbar), you can resize and reposition the various tool windows to your preference. | ||||||

| Bumping post, not much longer left to get it AND install it. | ||||||
| stiltman posted 2009 Sep 17 00:44 | ||||||
No and Yes :lol: I did both, that's why I posted it I also failed to mention, give away adds a reg key too. It's basically your answers to the initial install..no.no.no and did they ask. I deleted this key too. You can consider this a wrapper around a installer Their wrapper by give away does one thing, then it kicks off the real installer Luckily, Womble writes everthing to its own dir and only adds a reg key for the license Hell, Womble didn't even change file associations BTW, tomorrow I'm going to test it all out again to see if their (give away) is actually true that it had to be installed the same day as the freebe give away....of course on a clean machine | ||||||
| zoobie posted 2009 Sep 17 01:58 | ||||||
| I just installed it with 24 minutes to go
Last thing I need is yet another editor...good for experimenting with HDV I suppose... Thanks | ||||||
| jman98 posted 2009 Sep 17 04:58 | ||||||
| Thanks edDV and freebird73717. The distance between the 2nd small menu and the main one is large enough on my screen that I didn't catch that there was a 2nd menu until I saw the screen capture that freebird73717 posted. | ||||||
| racer-x posted 2009 Sep 17 19:33 | ||||||
| Yeah....no need for reg key, you only need to copy install folder. I installed it on 3 different PCs with two different OSs.
I wouldn't use it as an editor (very limited), but it works great for simple cuts in HDV source. Great for extracting a highlight reel without loosing quality, ect. However the Transport Stream files it creates will cause terminal errors in Vegas. Vegas dislikes the "TS" files this program generates. Fortunately there is a simple fix. You can export Elemental Streams .mpv and .mpa, then mux them into a compliant Transport Stream "TS" with TsMuxeR. This creates a "TS" file that Vegas likes. | ||||||
| edDV posted 2009 Sep 17 19:40 | ||||||
Good to know. I'm mostly interested in using this for ATSC/QAM TV HD TS captures. Any issues? Examples: news clips, magazine stories, PBS time shift. | ||||||

I don't do TV captures, so I don't know. I mostly just work with HDV sources from my camera. | ||||||

Missed this offering. Oh well. I do own this great program anyway, however are there any distinctly newer/unique features in this offering? | ||||||

I use MVW for editing and saving clips from ATSC captures off of my TV Wonder 650 quite often. It works very well at this. I usually put a quick fade out&in filter between the cuts to eliminate the jerkiness between the scenes. That's about as much "editing" that I'll do with it, as its MPEG2 encoder is very poor. If you need to transcode or change volume levels in the audio portion of your source, it does this very well. As a side note on racer-xs comments regarding TS files. MVW works well with them. Sage TV captures the full transport stream from an ATSC channel as a .tp file. You can select which video and audio portion of the stream you want from the clip properties. It also will take in .mod files. I fully agree with PuzZLeR regarding MVW layout. Once you get it set up to your liking and get familiar with it, it's not all that bad. Plus, you can configure and save multiple set-ups and change them on the fly. Its interface is a bit quirky though as you noted. No main (Windows type) tool bar for instance. But, pretty much most of what you need is there, and what it does, it does very well (except encoding as noted). I installed the free version on XpPro32 that I have running in a virtual machine in Sun VirtualBox. Then I copied the install folder to another virtual machine that is running Win7rc32. Both worked without any problems. | ||||||

| Hello, friends!
I'm new here, and I enjoyed your comments. I usually visit the Giveaway of the day site frequently, but on the very day he was offered the Womble Mpeg I did not have time to download it. It's possible that someone of you could provide the zip file provided by GAOTD that day? Thank you very much for your time! Evandro - Brazil. | ||||||
| jagabo posted 2009 Sep 21 07:22 | ||||||
It won't work because the software had to be installed and activated the same day. | ||||||
| Evandro posted 2009 Sep 21 12:25 | ||||||
| Jajabo, thanks for your information.
But, if it's possible, I want to make a test with that zip file. If you or anybody could provide it, I'll be very grateful. Thanks again for your time! Evandro. | ||||||
| jagabo posted 2009 Sep 21 13:08 | ||||||
| Evandro, PM'd you. | ||||||
| greymalkin posted 2009 Sep 21 13:50 | ||||||
| that's pretty wild that you could just copy the folder after installing/activating..what sort of copy protection is that!? | ||||||
| Evandro posted 2009 Sep 21 13:52 | ||||||
| Jagabo, Thanks for your help! | ||||||

Usually this wouldn't make a lot of financial sense. Though, lately there have been comments on the possibility of a new version of MVW that would add AVCHD support. If so, it could be a good strategy to get as many copies of their current product into users hands as possible. Then if and when the new version comes out, they could gain a lot of business from users wanting the new product. |
