Another giveaway offer from Modiac.

It seems their last giveaway on our site was so successful, that Modiac has set up a new giveaway offer.

From today and through November 1. 2011

Modiac Blu-ray ripper is regarded as the best conversion tool in the world, as  it can decrypt any Blu-ray discs and convert them into any kind of media format. Formats include: DVD, VCD, Mpeg4, AVI, MP4, MKV, WMA,  FLV, RMVB, etc.; popular consoles, such as Iphone, Ipad, Ipod, PS3, PSP, Wii,  NDS, and smartphones. It can also rip Blu-ray to all audio formats, such as DVD,  MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, WAV, AC3, and DTS. More formats will be added in the future  as development continues.Now we at Mintywhite give you this unique opportunity to get a copy of this great software for absolutely nothing. Yes you read correctly, FREE!

Update:

Due to my little “mishap” on this post yesterday, there has been a slight change in this giveaway. Modiac has kindly offered us both the Blu-Ray ripper and the video converter as a giveaway offer. Due to problems getting the license for the video converter to work we’ve postponed the giveaway for that product, giving you the blu-Ray Ripper free of charge. Thank you for your patience.
