Took me to a trial version-went to their website on the readme text--& no way to get a serial product number as there was nothing on the giveaway page--no luck--never mind--I'm sure there will be others to register!

Some problems with Dimo Studio products they like to hide the fact they use youtube_dl dowloader and static FFMPEG.EXE by including them in encrypted files f0.dat which is an encrypted copy of FFMPEG.EXE that is decrypted and spawned in the users %temp% folder the problem here is the build of static FFMPEG.EXE used is built for windows 7 and above and WILL NOT execute on Vista and earlier. A workaround is to get a static copy of FFMPEG.EXE and rename it to the name this suite of programs use and copy it to the users %temp% folder to overwrite the windows 7 and above build and mark it read only in file properties or adjust the security ACL settings to prevent any writes or changes to the file. That prevents these Dimo programs overwriting the renamed FFMPEG.EXE with the bad build.

The f1.dat file is the encrypted copy of youtube_dl.exe which similarly would get decrypted and executed as and when needed BUT the problem with that is it cannot be updated using youtube_dl self update feature since the program will try to keep using the OLD f1.dat copy which cannot be updated after installation. This means the video downloader will rapidly become non-functional as youtube adjusts to try and block these 3rd party downloaders and since the downloader cannot be updated it cannot adapt.

The dynamicly linked version of FFMPEG that is in the programs installation folder is an older version and renamed to kmcvt.exe built with all the command line verboseness cut out so it does not show it is an illegally used copy of dynamically linked FFMPEG.EXE that they have a legal duty to acknowledge and provide the source for and a copy of the GPLv3 license which it is covered by.

The configuration switches are still in the kmcvt.exe file so they have not hidden their deception completely:

"0003864B %sconfiguration: --enable-cross-compile --arch=x86 --target-os=mingw32 --enable-gpl --enable-shared --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --extra-ldflags=-liconv --enable-ffplay --disable-ffprobe --disable-ffserver --extra-libs=-lstdc++ --disable-doc --disable-htmlpages --disable-manpages --disable-podpages --disable-txtpages --enable-gray --enable-filters --enable-iconv --enable-w32threads --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libvpx --enable-zlib --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-xlib --enable-pic --enable-libxvid --enable-frei0r --enable-libfreetype"

As you can see it has --enable-gpl and --enable-version3 which indicates it was built using the GPLv3 compile time configuration NOT the LGPLv3 configuration.

The bundled dumb web server is NOT a dedicated media server but is just a dumb http server where every individual folder you decide to "share" using this opens up a unique instance of the web server on its randomly assigned custom port... and it keeps no list of currently running servers or any controls to administer any of the instance of the servers once they have started so YOU have to note down the ports assigned to each folder you start "sharing". There is no player provided to play the "shared" content on a smart TV from inside the smart TV browser. you can only download any file you are "sharing" which is of no use to most other devices on a LAN. If you want to serve media you would be infinitly better off using a proper media server like Serviio.

The GUI for all these Dimo products does not render cleanly under terminal services in windows i.e. remote desktop.

All the output profiles also default to wildly innapropriatly high bit rates for the codecs they use and NEED to be manually edited before conversion to a sensible bitrate to avoid encoding with a lossy codec to reduce file size but have it configured to still be lossy but produce massive output files.


All that aside, this product Dimo Videomate is the best of the cut down versions of the full Video Converter Ultimate Dimo have ever offered as a giveaway so if you can deal with all the bugs and design flaws and legalities it is the one to get. Hopefully the moderators won't chop this comment about too much before publishing it.... assuming they let any of it through.
