Excellent and comprehensive
mystic7museSeptember 5, 2013
Pros
Bests one I've tried. Saves and converts audio and video files in nearly every format you could want. Tested with Firefox and it works perfectly. Fast can be configured in various ways. I saved all types of video files with this and convert them to a Tivo compatible format for view on TV. Offers excellent support by email.
Cons
Selection of default format to save in could be easier because the list is so long that you have to scroll through a large number of format to switch to the one you want.
Summary
Great features and very powerful. No technical problems encountered.
Crashes ever time
craigozJanuary 27, 2012
Pros
Great when it worked, once.
Cons
Crashes every time, i've tried to re install it but didn't solve anything, unatceptable in this day in age, there is free software that works better. Save your money.
Summary
Don't waste your money or time, should be removed from cnet site all together.

Pros

Summary
Uses almost all CPU Space!
bnewmark3July 2, 2010
Pros
The product does what it says. It copies and allows to black the media it records, however...
Cons
...it almost ALWAYS causes either IE, FireFox, or itself use about 100% of my CPU and I have to RESTART the computer to get it to work. Like Orbit and Applian's Replay Media Catcher better.

Pros
- Nothing noticable
Cons
- Didn't work with Hulu - Not free
Summary
Get Orbit Downloader for Youtube and most other sites, and StreamTransport for Hulu and similar sites. Both of them are free.
A harmful spyware
Vivian_NewtonFebruary 5, 2010
Pros
Can be easily uninstalled
Cons
Kept taking over my PC network configuration causing repeated crashes. In between, it collected my Mac address and sent it to their server in plane text!
Summary
Better avoid
The best I've used !!!
bestmadmaxcarJanuary 26, 2010
Pros
tech support was awesum and lightening fast and the prob I had was with my PC and nothing to do with Jaksta
Cons
Ummmmmm.....well................ ahhhhhhhh.... can't think of any
Summary
I compared this with MANY others and found this to be, by far, the most user friendly. I test a program by seeing how easy it is to figure out without reading instructions....I've still not read the Jaksta instructions and having a blast with it!! Thanks again to the Craig for all you effort and help. BTW... I'm also using windows 7 and never had any issues...that negative comment by lkoni60 is bogus...must be either the competition or a 3 year old punk (or both!!)
Crashes all the time with Win 7.
lkoni60January 11, 2010
Pros
Closing with the task manager because it crasher all the time. NO any true positives.
Cons
Very ignorant tech support. Told me that i wanted to steal music. Hey Jerk, you made the program that can copy Rhapsody as stated in your intro. Auto naming of files is terrible. Would NOT give me a refund.
Summary
Don't Buy. Applian Replay Media catcher much better choice.
