I just downloaded this software. Checked it with Ad-Aware and Zone Alarm. It came up clean.

Never mind people, i had to do a system restore to get rid of it. I won’t be installing that again in a hurry!! For the sake of my hard drives as well as me. Love the site by the way.

Does anyone know how to get formatfactory off my computer. I am trying to uninstall it, it asks me if i want to remove it and i click yes. It starts to remove and my computer resets back to the POST. No warnings, and my hard discs have to spin back up while the POST waits. This can’t be good for them. Every time i try it does the same thing and i can’t get it off. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

It is absolutely impossible to use the program unless you allow the app to talk to the internet — as though a video converter NEEDS to do that. This is obvious spyware.

I think you need to pay attention to the warnings listed above. I just upgraded FF to 2.30. After installing, AnVir warned me that my homepage was hijacked and that Ask wanted to put its toolbar in my start up. Of course, I denied these with AnVir. Then WinPatrol warned me that Ask had scheduled updates for its toolbar. On top of that, QuickStores.url put an icon on my desktop. There was no place during installation of FF which asked me of any of these things. I consider FF to be malware of the most obnoxious kind. I strongly suggest you recommend another formatting program.

Well it seems nice, but the video joiner doesn’t join in order and the audio becomes out of sync after a while.

I see that format factory is listed on this site http://www.ffmpeg.org/shame.html
Does this mean it is not safe to use?

OOPs did a search of this site and found that Mario had asked the same question above.
And I looked back further on this page and noticed that Amnesia had suggested DVDFlick for an earlier post by me.
I wonder whether Amnesia is what I am suffering from ?

I am using DVDFlick now (as we speak), and I have asked a related question on Ashraf’s DVDFlick page -

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded some TV episodes, which were avi
I used Formatfactory and converted them to VOB files
I would now like to burm them to a DVD for playing on normal DVD player.
How can i (easily) convince Nero Express to burn the DVD ?
It expects me to have ifo files etc present (which I don’t)

Ok format factory seems to have the option
to convert midi’s to other formats; however
no matter what format I try it says failed.
Do you know any other coverter that might
work for this. There are so many and short
of installing them one by one I thought I
would ask you..and thanks in advance :)
