PapaJohn,
I agree that DVR-Ripper is pretty slow, and not a very polished or stable
piece of software. But it does the job, and the price is right. What I
really like about it is that it can rip a bunch of dvr-ms files in "batch
mode" while I'm sleeping or at work (or ideally sleeping at work ;-).
The version of Xmuxer I have was a free download, but I just checked the
Moonlight web site where I got it, and it's no longer listed on their
download page. I was able to find the direct link to it on Google.

I read the EULA and the README file that came with it, and confirmed that it
was free -- not a trial version. Or did I miss something?
