I realize that Mediacoder is "free" and that usually beggars can't be choosers.
I would be willing to 'contribute to' or 'register' a version of Mediacoder minus all the automated web browsing and update checking browser launching baloney.
I realize there must be a reason why the developers want to know every time I run their software and take a peek at what version I'm using, what I'm using it for etc, but I would prefer to do my own web browsing and update checking as I feel the need, not every time I run the ap or transcode a file.
A "Registered Version" Minius The Spyware
I think it's really overrated to call that kind of behavior spyware though.
Cause it only checks for updates etc and doesn't submit any data of what is on your pc, what you are using it for and so on.
And you can turn all of those things off in the settings dialogue...

MediaCoder settings:

Exactly where do you turn off automatic checking for updates?SirAuron wrote:I think it's really overrated to call that kind of behavior spyware though.
