Copy Protect Your Software With CopyMetric

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Australia – February 18, 2011: Xeberg Pty. Ltd. has announced the release of CopyMetric, a new web-based software registration, metering, copy protection and update system. This new technology will offer developers of Windows applications a cost-effective protection against licensing breaches.

Copy protection through automatic software registration is an alternative to installation CD’s and dongles that can result in cheaper and easier to use software as it does not require inserting a CD, or some other physical proof of purchase, every time the user needs to access the software. This will lead to a wider use of the “try before you buy” marketing concept and will benefit both users and developers of commercial software.

CopyMetric can be integrated into a Windows application to automatically register each copy of the software on the developer’s website as it is used. The registration records will contain details of who is using the software and can be used to deny access to illegally installed copies or activate trial copies after payment has been received.

Additional features of CopyMetric include the ability to control the level of functionality available to individual users and publish version updates.

Automatically collected usage statistics data will provide an insight into where and how often the software is used and, most importantly, how many copies have been installed.

CopyMetric is currently available to the software development community in two editions, Lite and Complete, on a free trial basis and can be downloaded from www.copymetric.com.

Xeberg Pty. Ltd. was founded in 2010 and is dedicated to producing lightweight, fast software that will help uncomplicate information technology.

VRO format, how to play and convert VRO files on Mac OS X with Mac VRO Converter

Leave a comment

Part 1. What is a VRO file?

A DVD-VR recorded disc contains a ‘DVD_RTAV’ directory in the root of the filesystem, in which a single ‘VR_MOVIE.VRO’ file exists, containing the raw audio and video data for all video recordings on the disc. The recording metadata along with navigation data to represent playlist,programs and so on are also stored in the ‘VR_MANGR.IFO’ file in the same directory. A backup copy of this file (VR_MANGR.BUP) typically is present as well.

Unlike standard DVD-Video recordings, the aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) is contained in the .VRO file itself as part of the video stream. Thus DVD-VR supports mixed format presentations within a single .VRO file. Contrast DVD-Video where the aspect ratio is coded into the accompanying .IFO file and thus a single .VOB file can be in a single aspect ratio only.

VRO is a container format for multiplexed audiovisual content. VRO file is an equivalent to a collection of DVD-Video VOB files.

You will so confused by these fragmented and unplayable VRO files, which can not be easily played and edited like VOB files in many case.
