"The neXt Tech Challenge"

Good idea, strange execution. Get a free license for software you are already probably paying for using.

Thank you and yes it is strange but at the same time it is helpful and you can give to a friend or relative if you already own it.

Have to admit, like username, the idea behind the contest is nice, as it will ensure quick database updates. However, other than downloading the trial version of v4 and franctically scrambling to find a title that does not work so that I can be first to fix it means that I will have already paid for the software ... in which case, for me isn't really an incentive (no one else in my family or my friends are really as DVD crazy as I am ... or that technological to use the program ... the bulk of my relatives truly have trouble turning a computer on and logging in.)

Oh well, good luck to those that have a copy of v4 and can enter the contest to win another one! :-)

I, personally, have not upgraded to v4 yet because my v3 Ultimate key was given to me free by DVDneXtCopy ... so, I haven't had to pay the yearly update fee, because my license key has no credit card number associated with it ... (knock on wood that it doesn't just stop working now that I said that out loud!).

Thanks again, Charlie, for the forum and the contests. :-D

That can still be used along with the new v4. Read the manual on how to use and to give you a hint on one title that is posing an issue is "The Time Travellers Wife" UPC#9404313235 is a problem title today.

It's "Backing Up", not copying!

Hello Charlie, Lena Carissimi, I hope you and the group are doing well...I am in Pembroke Pines Florida, visiting my Son & his family...I will be here until the end of February...So I am not doing anything on the computer much...Just playing Mom & Grandma...God Bless all of you and keep up the good work...Lena Carissimi

Also on a side note we wanted to do something different or more constructive than just a simple posting to enter into this contest. Before we just had a very easy way of winning. Then when the contest was over so was all the postings.

Let me add if you don't own it read the NTU userguide I made and then get a grip on that then download a trial of v4 when you have a title that needs NTU and make databases off the trial.

dear Charlie,
its been a long time! hope to see your doing well and send my regards to your wife also all the members. you always have good ideas with contests and supporting your members. i will try my luck and enter.
thank you,
jim1953speed

I am intersted in this. I want in!

Feel free we have a submit database section on the forum just for these things.

I just don't see any advantage with v4 over Ultimate. Especially when I have a lifetime license for Ultimate and use AnyDVD for the ripping.

There is no reason to reply if you aren't interested, I do believe this is a lifetime key as well but will have to ask to be sure.

Strange that you have lifetime license for Ultimate as they do not sell them for Ultimate

The challenge itself is fun.

I "backed-up" The Time Travelers Wife last night with v4/movie-only and didn't have to tweak anything... watched the backed-up version last night and all was well (re: posting saying that this title was currently an issue).

How long will the contest run? I like the idea for the contest and could use a free-key for a friend.

Thanks for the forum and all the support Charlie

Contest has no time limit. This was a combined effort with a silent partner so it was said it could run indefinitely maybe. I will be sure to post a announcement if it was to be stopped with a week or 2 to spare.

Cpolor me stupid, but where do i get the database updates. I am bouncing between V3 and V4 and going CRAZEEE... Help

There is individual databases on the forum the master is built into v4.
