With great enthusiasm, I must say, that viDrop 0.54 is finally out!
I added a lot of new functions, and made a lot of improvements from the previous version.
Screenshots:
* Main settings

* Advanced settings
Here is a quick list:
- fully functional DVD RIP-ing. From the interface you can select the DVD title/chapter, audio language, subtitle language...
- multiple output formats. Now, you can make not only .avi (and OpenDML avi) files, but also
mpg, asf, flv, rm, nut, mov, mp4, dv.
- multiple video codecs - encode your video with
xvid, iso mpeg4, x264, flv, mjpeg, h261, h263, h263p, msmpeg4, msmpeg4v2, wmv1, wmv2, mpeg1video, mpeg2video, ffvhuff
- multiple audio codecs - mp2, mp3, pcm(wav), aac, ac3
- web video download - tou can now download videos from sites like youtube. Supported sites are:
*
http://vbox7.com (bulgarian site)
*
http://vbox.bg (bulgarian site)
*
http://youtube.com
*
http://video.google.com
*
http://www.metacafe.com
Support for new sites will be added in the next version. For example, if you are watching some video at you tube (something like
http://youtube.com/watch?v=A5Yj6ImVc1k), copy the address from the browser, and then click "Online video download" in viDrop. In the next dialog box, paste the addres, and click OK. viDrop will try to find the real URL of the video file, and will ask you where to download it. Then the download will start, and you will see graphical indication of the download progress. When the download is over, the .flv file will be opened in viDrop. Now you can just watch it (by pressing the ">" button), or convert it to a more common format (like avi).
- multi-language interface - now, you can switch the language of the program interface in just a few clicks. The translation is stored in plain text files named
language.lang.txt. Currently there are translations for Bulgarian, English and Russian. The russian translation is very bad (i made it using google translator because I can only read russian, and not write...), so if there are Russians amongst you, please make some corrections where needed, and send me the language file.
Any other translations are also very welcome. I will include them in the next versions.
The language is selected on the "Other..." tab, from the "Language" listbox.
- full automatic updates. On every start, the program checks if there is an update available, and if "yes" it will ask you to download and install the update.
- playback of lots of multimedia files via mplayer. Just open the file with viDrop, and click the ">" button, on the right pf the "Input A/V File".
And yes, viDrop still continues to be freeware
Download it from

Some very important note, which I forgot to mention before: viDrop is written in the scripting language AutoIt. Some buggy Antivirus programs still report AutoIt compiled executables as a viruses.
I guarantee you that if you download viDrop from the link above it IS NOT a virus/infected. If you downloaded it from other sites... well I can't guarantee for them...
