I was given a set of home movie DVD's that needed to be transferred to flash drives. DVD players are still around but some would prefer to keep copies of DVD's on their computer or give them to family members. But most computers do not have DVD drives any more. As a genealogist, younger people don't want to keep DVD's on their shelf and the drawer of home movies is sometimes difficult to navigate. Flash is the easiest and probably quickest way to transfer these files, even large files.
I started to transfer some of these older disc and found that over the years different programs were used to create these discs and were read only. I couldn't just open the DVD and convert the files into another format. Sometimes it became a 2-3 step process using different programs. One program to rip the dvd and another to edit, and another to merge, etc. (And did I mention that I am a cheapskate).
I bought many programs in the past that never worked as promised so I was hesitant to buy anything else.
I googled this type of software but most programs have a try before you buy but you only receive about 5 minutes of video to judge the quality, speed, etc. But I noticed a pattern of each program that I "tried". The programs that worked best had the same basic GUI and the price ranged from "TODAY ONLY $34.95 to $119.00".
As I continued to search, I loaded program after program and they all functioned the same and looked the same. But here is the main difference: NCH allowed me to use the program WITHOUT restriction for an extended period of time. I transferred approximately 10 dvd's without watermarks, without time restrictions, without ads for approximately 10 dvd's. I almost thought it was completely free! When it did ask me for purchase, INITIALLY, I reluctantly clicked the buy button to see the cost. In the back of my mind I had already determined that this program worked so well, I would purchase the program no matter the cost. The program worked and I when the price came up..I was shocked! It was cheaper than any of the other programs that locked me out after 5 minutes.
I will continue to support NCH, just for their generosity and excellent marketing. Thank You!
