    I'm using the official FFmpeg repositories for building the DLLs. Everything is OpenSource. So you could check the sources I am using, but also the FFmpeg sources itself. They are always linked with each build/release. The Norton Utils had a good reputation in the 90s, but nowadays the reputation is rather dubious. Can you verify this with a different tool?

    Zitat

    "Norton Power Eraser is much more aggressive than comparable programs - it may therefore also suspect harmless but unusual software and files on your PC. It is therefore advisable to make a backup before using the program."

  • This is my personal opinion and my experience with antiviruses: Norton and Malwarebytes are the best antiviruses produced to date and are very accurate and have much less false positives than other products on the market. (In my opinion, they don't have a positive flag at all)

    And finally, Voukoder Pro is really a disaster in my opinion, please update Voukoder Classic as well.

    Thanks!
