I have now completed the purpose and safety sections. I welcome any comments. I have replaced the speculations with the safety information, since that is what it was mostly about. I moved some ideas to other sections and got rid of what I was able to analytically confirm to be garbage. There were some allegations regarding the business model but those do not belong here, IMO; for example, Microsoft does not have any business related info and they have faced major lawsuits. I checked many other company articles, at random, and none of them have any money information or links to any forums discussing them. I'm happy with how this article turned out, I think it is the best available source for information about this container format. MovieMan 03:09, 15 March 2007 (EDT)



Folks, there are other ways to view movies with vodei encoding. There is no reason to pay for this software.Qabala 11:53, 10 March 2007 (EST)

I think we should edit this article to be more technically oriented towards the Vodei container format and not the software used to decode it. I'm going to see if I can find some files to analyse. MovieMan 22:38, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

I definitely think this should be expanded. With as little information as we have, this appears to be the most information gathered in one place on the subject.Qabala 23:54, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

We should stick to information from accurate technical analysis - not comments on forums. There is far too much contradictory information on the forums and we don't know who posted it. Maybe it is a clueless computer newbie? Maybe it's a competitor? Maybe it's a shill? Maybe it's someone just making stuff up to increase their post count? Maybe it's a pirate? - how do you feel about that? MovieMan 00:58, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
Ideally you're right, however, there are no official sources on this subject. The website gives almost no information. The screenshots are from my own computer. I've asked a few reputable software reviewers to take this software on. No one will review it or do an article based on it because they don't review adware or codecs. I'm going to continue adding information, but if you would be so kind as to ask for references where I miss them, I will find the best sources I can, or rephrase the articla.Qabala 10:59, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
I know there is a lack of sources for this format. I think the forums are a great way for us know what to investigate but I believe the criteria for inclusion in this article should be whether we can reproduce it. This is not Wikipedia, we should aim to investigate and test the information we find, not just reference it. I'm in the process of analysing the format/software (I have done R&D for IBM related to multimedia in the past) and I'll update the article once I can prove, or disprove, the user reports.

Good luck MovieMan! --Compn 19:04, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
Most of the stuff in the article can be reproduced with some direction. The only things I can think of that I can't confirm are: The contents of a vodei encoded file, and how it's encoded. The theories are not confirmed either as they are purely speculation, but I have attempted to state them as such.Qabala 20:42, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
Thanks Compn but I don't think it's a matter of luck, just having the right tools and enough time. I have made some good progress today, I'd like to tackle tomorrow the structure of Vodei files and determine whether they really speed up downloads. MovieMan 01:30, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
