So, I'm assuming the last three will also be repeated after 12/1.

iViewRipper
what are the 3 added items on the System Menu? (see attached)
I have set a type of debug on by clicking one of them... it saves a few additional files

Downloaded iView .MP4 files seem to take a long long time to read into VLC Media Player v2.1.5.
Is it right that this is caused by the packaging and codec mismatch (ie, if the downloaded files were converted, it would be a quicker load and play)?
I don't want to do that really.
Or is there a better way, a better media player? I don't have the right codecs installed for Windows Media Player (v12 for Windows 7) to handle iView's flv-within-mp4.

Just tried a file on VLC 2.1.4 and then on 2.1.5, loaded pretty much instantly, mind you I went with one of the smallest videos on iView so that may be a factor.

My go to player though is MPC-HC with the K-lite codec pack.

But since I use my remux bat scripts by default, I've pretty much always ran proper mp4s, and it only takes between 2 and 10 seconds per video to do depending on the file size and what else is running.

Thanks for that information.
I've changed my system a lot in the last year or so, so I'm not sure what codecs I have installed. I did have a nice utility that scanned and reported what was there (can't recall what it was).

I may try the player you mentioned (Media Player Classic Home Cinema).

[edit]
Got the Win32 installer, but the mirrors won't give me the filters (assume that means the codec packages). I try later..

I will set up your script again, too. I think I have a utility to produce iPad-compatible formats too - somewhere. Not that I like to use iPad, ever.

Missed an episode - anyone had success at fudging a batch file to get previous?

Missed: Leonardo Series 2 Episode 11

Eps 12, 13 are still currently on iView
