DVD-RB 1.01 Pro TRIAL ???

[hajj_3]

where can i get 1.01 pro trial, only 0.95 is on the site to download :(, hope someone can post me a link :)

[MarioGarcia]

I don't think trial exist.
if you donated as low as 10 dollars you can get it..but that was before during the beta don't know now

[hajj_3]

yeah, i knew about $10 donation, now its $25, but i want a trial to see what 1.01 is like!

[MarioGarcia]

use 0.95 then multiply that feeling by one million and you will know what i am talking about.

[hajj_3]

it dosent really help imagining what 1.01 is like, i wanna use it for like 14 days or 30 days before i decide whether or not to buy it.

[jdobbs]

No "Trial" is planned. The Freeware versions are available and will give you a good indication as to how well it works. The minimum donation for the Professional Edition is $29.95.

[hajj_3]

1.01 free aint on the site yet, when will it be on there.

there really should be trials available or else you wont get many new users buying it as they cant fully test it out.

There is no 1.01 free but there is a .95 freeware version.

.95 IS the trial version.
After using the freeware version for a while I started Lusting after the Pro. version.

In the end BTW, all I had to do was look at all the good things people were saying about the Pro. version not to mention all the good results I was getting with the free version.

So I had to have it. I made the donation and have been a happy camper ever since.

Regards,:)

P.S. Not to mention the great add-on for RB Pro. that you are missing out on called the Rebuilder Matrix Editor by Rockas.

[hajj_3]

no one wants 0.95 free, they want 1.01 free, just cant see why anyone would pay for something they cant fully try before they buy.

dosent make logical or business sense.

[FredThompson]

Nobody made you the voice of everyone. If you don't like the situation, write your own program. You had the opportunity to get it for $10 and you were too cheap to take advantage of the offer. Now you're a whiner.

[Malphas]

Geez beez, the free version gives you an adequate idea of what the program is like. When deciding if you should buy the pro version all you have to do is look at the feature list and determine whether or not the added features are of any use to you and if they're worth the price, or perhaps you just feel that the author should be financially compensated for their work.

Besides, a trial pro version would be cracked overnight, eliminating the incentive to purchase the program legally for those who don't have any qualms about using pirate software.

it doesnt make sense that after so many months of being able to obtain the pro for as little as $10 you pester this thread with nonsense

you're registered to this forum for quite some time now, so please dont try to tell anyone you knew nothing about how to donate or what rb might cost having reached final status

the final is out only for a couple of hours and you have nothing better to do than complaining that there is no such thing as a TRIAL?

c'mon mate, you dont expect anyone to take you serious with this babbling, do you? :devil:

[hajj_3]

actually the pro version has been out for nearly a day now, as for being cracked, 1.0 rc6 pro was leaked and cracked, same will happen with this, so that wont make any difference. 0.95 is lacking features that are in 1.01, all im saying is make a 1.01 free or trial with some limited functions or 14 day trial for the functions then your customers and prospective customers will be alot happier.

Pro has been available for ages during the beta builds and although there may be improvements between 0.93 and 1.01, I agree that .93 gives you enough of an idea of what this program can do to warrant a purchase. Yes it will be cracked but I'm pretty sure that time-limited trials are far easier to crack than the betas and jdobbs has made a sensible decision not to release one.

Quit whining.

[jptheripper]

i agree 0.95 is fine.

i like the fact that there is not a 1.x trial, that means there will (hopefully) never be a 1.x crack.

[jdobbs]

Bottom line on a Trial:

It ain't gonna happen, end of discussion. It's my call and it has been made.

As for cracks -- let's be real -- there is never a way to stop them. I'll be honest -- they hurt. Every time some asshole releases a crack my donations stop (so much for the inherent good nature of mankind). If anything ever stops DVD Rebuilder development that will be the reason. I'll work cheap, but I gotta eat just like everyone else.

But cracks are limited. DVD-RB has versions coming out constantly (and always will). A crack is only good for one version (by the way RC6.0 was never cracked -- but that really doesn't matter). When you get the Pro you are paying more for the continual upgrades than a single release. Also, look around. How many other programs have you seen where the developer responds to your personal issues....

I think this package gives the best quality obtainable, with the least amount of required knowledge, but with the flexibility for the experts. I wrote it because I wanted something that met that criteria for my own backups. IMHO nothing else comes close.

Damn... now I'm starting to sound like a salesman instead of an engineer.

[writersblock29]

I'd just like to say that I'd made the decision to buy the Pro version BECAUSE of the fact that I found the freeware useful. I've never regretted it; in fact, I plan on donating more to Jdobbs in the future (I'm actually feeling GUILTY for only paying $10 thus far for my copy of Pro). He's put in a lot of hard work and it shows. Bottom line? If you find the freeware useful, like someone else said, compare the features and decide for yourself whether it's worth the jump. Bet you will!

[DD51]

I can't believe the attention this guy/thread is getting...I'm no better but I couldn't resist!
There's a freeware version with no time limit and this guy complains???
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalease!

I can't believe I chimed in this thread...I'm embarrassed

:sly:

If I were a detective I would think these posts would lend credence, as well as cast suspicion, as to why hajj_3 wanted a free trial of RB Pro. One doesn't have to read to deep into his posts below to find a motive for the request.

a working keygen released 2 days after you released divx by the group <edited per Rule 6>, you must be gutted it was done that quick. the Original Post is Here. (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=675794&postcount=5)

Am I wrong? Maybe and maybe not.

[blutach]

I was bloody cheap and used DVDRB Free for ages, but as others did, lusted for more and finally bought the real deal. I didn't need any further trial because I could see how good it was through DVDRB Free.

Hajj_3:

1. I got so much more than what I paid for and a bloody good deal. It's worth it at 10 x the original price!!!

2. For anybody that cracks protection, spreads their executable and key on the Internet: You don't respect the work that jdobbs has put into this. Now, put yourself in his shoes; would you like to be robbed? - because that's what it is, pure and simple. Would you like to be paid nothing for your work? jdobbs deserves everything he gets out of DVDRB and pirates of his software disgust me.

3. If you want the hottest and best DVD backup program around, cough up $30 instead of spending it on smokes or something. It's better for your health and will make you feel good that you have done the right thing.

<rant off>

[elizerrojas]

you cheap MFres could not pay $10 for the best program outthere now you are talking about cracks. why can't you pay $25, still a nice price.
thanks jdobbs for the best program ever.

[Fishman0919]

This thread is a bit stupid, everyone who has been on this site even just for a short time knew that the final release of the Pro ver was very close and that the minimum donation of $10 was going to go up. If you got a pb with that then it's your own fault, jdobbs has bent over backwards at times to put out, fix and just get a new ver out with requested features so we all can enjoy backing up DVD's. If he asks for a diff minimum donation then o'well... to late... you should have thought about that before.

[m1ckran]

What a load of fuss! If you like the free version, stay with it or buy the Pro version. Simple as that. It all depends on your motives.

What's $30 dollars anyway? You can't fill a petrol tank for $30 here in England. When you consider the number of contibutors to DVD-RB and the time devoted to it, $30 is really a small price to pay for good software with a lifetime upgrade promise.

I wish Microsoft followed a similar price/upgrade policy! I suggest hajj_3 pester Microsoft for the same terms. Or.. perhaps, in the light of his other posts, he would prefer not to attract too much attention?

[FredThompson]

I'm a little confused by this thread. Where do I get the cracked version? http://home.mindspring.com/~fredthompson/Smiley-LOL.gif

[jdobbs]

Get it at http://info.dvd-rb.com. It's only $29.95!

[SamuriHL]

This thread is, um, interesting, I will say that much. At 29.95 this software is a bargain given all that it does and the support that goes with it. The functionality in the freeware 0.95 is comparable to what you'd get with 1.01 Pro, minus, of course, the pro features. You say you want a "trial", well, there you go. It will work for you. You can see the quality of effort put into the program. If you like it, and the feature list of the Pro version looks good to you, you'll buy it, as you should. Otherwise, you'll stick with the freeware version and not ask for a damn thing more. That's as it should be and IMO is more generous than it could otherwise be on jdobb's part. Using the freeware version will most definitely give you a very good idea of how well the Pro version works. Reading this forum even a little bit will tell you how well the Pro version works. That is all you need to make up your mind as to whether you will buy it or not. JDobbs deserves the money...he's not asking much IMO. So you have several options here. Use the freeware version and don't ask for anything. Buy the Pro version and enjoy excellent support and an incredible product. Use neither and find some other product to complain about. Those are the options available to you. Pick one and be done with it already. Yes, you probably could pirate this software, but, you'd be doing everyone a disservice including yourself. If you can't figure out why then do everyone a favor and NEVER post in this forum again. It really is that simple...life's full of choices. Make one.

[FredThompson]

hajj_3 wanted a trial...he's getting one. http://home.mindspring.com/~fredthompson/Smiley-Jester.gif

@Feedback

*Sigh!* And here I was willing to give him the benifit of the doubt. After all, it was the trial version of CopytoDVD (full version with a time limit) that convinced me to buy it. But posting warez links and observations is just plain wrong -- especially on a forum such as this. Guys like this are what make good forums disappear. Thanks for the links.

[Haltech]

Not only did i donate $20 for this program, i actually purchased the CCE encoder as well. I havent bought software in a long time, however, when i stumbled upon this thread out of the blue, i didnt hesitate to try a free trial.. Just the reaction from the threads was enough to sell me. Ive never been impressed with a product until i used this. The output is unbelievable. Im hoping over time, we can compare config files to further improve output. Ive got a folder on my hard drive, chalk full of DVD programs.. Youre more than welcome to have them since they are all junk hajj_3. I just hope nothing stops the development of this fine program.

[jarthel]

Nobody made you the voice of everyone. If you don't like the situation, write your own program.

I certainly agree with this. some people are happy enough to use the free versions!

[zacoz]

all im saying is make a 1.01 free or trial with some limited functions or 14 day trial for the functions then your customers and prospective customers will be alot happier.I think it's fair to say that the posts strongly support that customers and prospective customers ARE currently very happy with the arrangements jdobbs has put in place. (If we got too much happier, people would wonder what we were on :D )

I for one stubbled across the $10 offer, and paid before even downloading the free version. I based my decision on:
having simply read a couple of paragraphs on what the program purported to do
seeing that jdobbs was the author (his reputation having preceded him)
previously having seen it mentioned in passing in other areas of the forum
figuring that if it didn't go anywhere near meeting my needs, I wasn't out of pocket much
This was although I was quite happy with using my current backup process (PgcEdit/VobBlanker/Shrink or Auto GK). Having now used DVD-RB only twice (and probably none of the extra Pro capabilities), I can see that I will continue using it and need to in all good conscience donate further in the future. I think Shrink will be very idle on my PC.

[m1ckran]

I think the number of posts on this thread are flattering hajj_3 and his rather silly opinions regarding DVD-RB and software in general.

I don't intend to flatter hajj_3 any more by making further contributions to this thread.

[FredThompson]

Me, neither. I know when to let a thread die. No doubt about it. There comes a time when talking is done and it's now. Yes, sir. No question. I'll not post here any more. The last thing I'd want to do is keep this discussion going. We've made our point. There's nothing left to say. Sometimes people prattle on and on and on and on and on and just don't know when to stop. Not me. Nope. I know when enough has been said. Nobody can accuse me of making this thread longer than it needs to be. Brevity carries a lot more impact than volumes of words. That's something we should remember. Sometimes we talk too much and that dampens the effect of our statements. We shouldn't let that happen this time. It's too important. Think about it. It's a total waste of time and we have other things to do that continue to comment on this topic. Yup, that's a great idea you have, stop posting to this thread. Wish I'd thought of it myself. So, from now on, no more posting to this thread. It just draws attention and flatters hajj_3. Remember, folks, be brief. Don't repeat yourself. Don't prattle on and on and on and on. Just say it once and be done with it.
