Subject:RE: Where can you but Soft Encode??? Reply by: Cinematographer Date:9/26/2001 12:13:22 PM I have Soft Encode, but it is dicontinued. Not enough end-users were buying the product, although it is extremely simple and self explanatory. (for the most part!?) I could make some alternative recommendations, but they have to do with Inuindo (sp?) and have heard alot of good things about the product (sub $1k). I know some big beta testers that like it. But I suppose it's okay to recommend an alternative product ONLY to this one, since it's not around anymore? Everything else, go Sonic! ;)
Subject:So since softencode is no longer issued it's now freeware, Right? Reply by: GraphicsBugs Date:10/8/2001 5:33:33 PM Microsoft makes Windows 95 and Win3.1 Freeware since the software is no longer supported. Does that mean that Softencode is now considered freeware? Can I still buy multiple licenses? Can I distribute it freely? Too bad, SF, you would have made a few more bucks. It was just getting off the ground.

This product includes a pretty expensive Dolby License that still needs to be paid for. Just because SF no longer supports SoftEncode doesn't mean that the Dolby License is free.
