This program wants to install an update immediately. The update consists of a bunch of free codecs packs plus ffmpeg, winpcap and several DLLs installed in the system folders. IMO, downloading new codecs is ALWAYS dangerous (as codecs conflicts are very frequent and very difficult to fix), and the program should ask for the permission to install files in the system folders.

Under Vista/7, if you have launched the program at the end of the install process, it runs with Administrator rights, and when it will download and install the codec packs, the UAC will not be triggered again. So, be warned: the install procedure of this program is NOT SAFE, even under a well protected system such as Win7.

It is also strange to install the ffmpeg codec, as I have it already on my system. I hate those programs that are unable to detect the codecs, and insist to install other (and possibly outdated) versions of the same files elsewhere.

Anyway, take care, and back your system up (with System Restore) before installing this program. And note that there are many free plugins for your favourite browser that can do exactly the same thing, without having to install many useless files.

RipTiger Full didn't work on the few sites I tested it on or with -- like many other video downloaders it seems a bit hit or miss depending on the site & the tech they use. Designed around several other apps or packages, RipTiger has a potentially large impact on your system & installed apps -- it installs an older version of a package called ffdshow [it helps Windows handle several media formats, but can also cause prob.], replacing/overwriting the current version if already installed. It adds/registers an older version of the gabest FLV Splitter [under FLVCodec], along with an older version of winpcap, a free packet capture utility [http://goo.gl/sMPC]. The driver file npf.sys is installed, along with the GSService. Every time it started RipTiger prompted to download additional files for better video conversion -- clicking OK adds the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 6.3.0 [current = 6.5.0 -- http://goo.gl/2dVUP] that's somewhat notorious for having compatibility problems. Unless it's the only app you can find that downloads/saves video from some specific site, it would be the last one I tried -- why risk the extra problems if you don't have to?

When you want to save video from whatever site, personally I recommend trying what you have already installed &/or searching [Google/Bing] to find out what others use... it may turn out to be surprisingly simple, or OTH, everyone might say it's impossible -- that's good to know *before* you try a half dozen apps, especially if you have to find/download/install them. Several apps use winpcap to sniff packets your PC/laptop receives -- many [most?] sites don't want you saving video they host, so they hide the actual URL, & in this case finding that URL is winpcap's purpose. Sometimes you might get away with saving the stream from a player like VLC, so nothing before the player matters that much. And often when the video's stored on your PC/laptop, even if temporary, apps like the free Video Cache View [Nirsoft] can save you a copy. When the video streams are protected with a lot of DRM, use special players etc. it can get really involved [some people go through a *lot* of work] or you can simply record what's playing on screen -- there are several apps just for recording on-line video, or use fraps, or you can use something like VirtualDub that does analog video capture, after you install the Unreal screen capture filter [http://goo.gl/fz73z] ... it'll put a load on your CPU, but you can even record or capture 1080p this way.

You claim to be 100% clean and have tags from Softpedia, Brothersoft, and Soft32.com which are supposed to verify this. So why is it when I go to these three sites I don't find ANY record of your software listed there?
