First, let me state I have gone through every search engine and site on the Megathread before I’m asked. I’ve also looked through the Unsafe sites and users as well.

I have been hunting for a recent version of a piece of software for a while now and all I can seem to find are ones VirusTotal.com lists with viruses in them or from users on the Unsafe list.

The file I currently have came straight from the site AppDoze.com. Can someone let me know if AppDoze is still a reputable downloader? I’ve read Yes and I’ve read No. As you can see VirusTotal.com looks at the cracked .exe and list 6 viruses. Surely there can’t be this many “false positives” in a file or can there?

Also, Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Pro both updated have had full scans run on my PC in safe mode and they show no infections which I don’t understand with all the installs and uninstalls I’ve done from a number of sources. I’m considering BitDefender just as another layer of safety.

Anyway, if anyone could give me some insight on AppDoze, I would be most appreciative. Thanks for your input and time!

    Any reason you need this specific software? Seems like it has a fairly generic use case, also possible with free / open source software

      The main reason is it’s the only ripper I can find that will copy chapter markers AND utilize Hardware Acceleration. I have a registered version of MakeMKV but it tends to be quite slow even though I love it for most things. Leawo can convert a BluRay file about x3 faster just like DvdFab. :(

        Makemkv is slow because it remuxes with no compression. I’d try linking it with handbrake under preferences - integration. Then open handbrake and select your drive as the source. That or vidcoder should do what you want.
