Thanks for the input on Shutter ramble!

I’ve been working on and off with it for a while now and Love it except for a couple of things I’m trying to wrap my head around.

I’m trying to understand how to Rip DVD & BluRay with it and how to Burn In “Soft Subs” in an MKV container.

Also, I’m trying to figure out if I want to re-do my library with H.265, H.266 or AV1 in either VBR, CBR or CQ. So many options, it’s insane cool!

Hey Thanks for the response! I think I figured out some of the resolution stuff but I can’t seem to get a VGA resolution (640x480). I set Force Display to 4:3 but the resolution doesn’t show up.

Yeah, I saw the add subs but I can’t seem to get it handle subs already in the vid file like ASS subs I want to Hardcode into the video.

I’m gonna keep working with it though as it seems to do most everything else I want. Pretty amazing software!

Shutter is a really nice front-end for ffmpeg but can you put in custom resolutions or do you have to work with what they have? Also, how do you set it to pick up soft subs and hard code them into the video? Also, it’s so nice to find a piece of software that will FINALLY use my GPU! :)

You know, I thought Movavi might have been it but then I run into the problem I seem to with all the others. For some reason, it states AMD GPU Acceleration is on but when I start converting, all my CPU cores go to 100%+ and the GPU sits barely working. It’s baffling! Urg!

As a follow-up, I’ve downloaded the 64-bit exe from Github and actually installed tartube and that seems to be Ok for the time being. I’m running a complete Security sweep right now to see if it catches anything. We’ll see.

Sorry, it’s already gone. I deleted it from quarantine.

This sounds like excellent advice. I happen to have a licensed version of BeyondCompare that I can install and do Hex compare. I appreciate the guidelines to follow and I agree with you on the “pre-cracked” options. I would always install from the developer’s site first and then use the patch if I use it at all. Unfortunately, this software mush have a “phone-home” features and has a “hosts file” change as well. As with the previous response, I would appreciate your input on whether you would try it or not.

Thanks for your excellent advice & input!

Thank you so much for explaining all of this! So, it’s not an “exact” match for a virus, it’s the “behaviour” of the Patch/Crack that makes the AV/Malware software “see” or “think” it’s a Virus/Malware. That makes much more sense.

I’ve copied the link for the software with patch below. Wondershare UniConverter

At the bottom of the link, are the references from VirusTotals. I use Avast & Malwarebytes Pro and the report says Malwarebytes would catch and quarantine it. I guess a virus/malware to me is always a risk and I’ve had my system crashed in the past due to that and don’t want a repeat. If you don’t mind, I would like your opinion on whether to try it or not. Again, thanks so much for the explanation!

I agree that file is probably just a false positive. I deleted it from quarantine and it didn’t affect the program at all.

You are absolutely THE BEST!!! I appreciate all your hard work so much. This saves me sooo much time and is so helpful! I cannot thank you enough.

I’ve tested the process in a single & multi-language channel and a single video & it worked for perfectly for all.

Several questions I have:

1 - When I installed Tartube, my Antivirus told me the gslangValidator.exe file was infected by Win64: Evo-gen [Trj] and quarantined it. Any idea why?

2 - How do I get rid of all the other files like jpeg, txt, json etc. files or are they supposed to be there.

3 - Supposing I wanted a 360p resolution downloaded, what would have to be changed in the format options?

I’m really amazed at this and hope to learn more about Tartube. Thank you very much for your time in putting all this together & I look forward to further correspondence!
