Why should any of these be displayed in the logs?
For streamfab you can use Process Explorer to view/monitor how it operates.

Padlouk,

Thanks!

Will definitely look at this soon!

Have downloaded it, but working on some stuff right now.

I keep seeing references to this file named "65518339-F04A-4B70-839E-FD168961FDV1" regarding its purpose and location.....

For what it's worth..... and without necessitating any hierarchical deep dive..... I have two of these things I see every day sitting in the StreamFab folder.....

I've never deleted them because I just assumed they were there holding login information for the various sites from which I download.....

Maybe someone can tell me if they are serving any useful purpose and if not..... I'll delete them.....

Also..... for the record..... regarding this read/write thing pandlouk has brought up..... common sense dictates that processing..... any processing..... should be accomplished requiring the least amount of read/write instructions no matter where the destination of said read/write instructions are to be performed.....

And please pardon my frankness..... however..... only a fool attempting to smokescreen their ignorance would think otherwise.

Thanks, but I have it already. I have all the Sysinternals. I prefer to use Process Lasso for the few times that I need to get down to the process level, certainly not for the reason you use a process explorer.

It won't affect the use of the software, you may delete it directly.

Common sense also dictates that to download a video of 10 GB you should not need to have at least 51 GB free space!!

One would expect that:
1st) before issuing a concatanate command for the decrypted files
a delete command of the now useless "*.tmp" files would be issued
e.g.

del "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\DVDFab\StreamFab\Temp\outputTemp\*.tmp" /s /f /q

and
2nd) before issuing an ffmpeg remuxing command
another delete conmand of the, in this step useless, ".dec" files would occur
e.g.

del "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\DVDFab\StreamFab\Temp\outputTemp\*.dec" /s /f /q

at least then you'd only need 31 GB free space in order to download the file...

@pandlouk..... Since I can't really tell the tenor of your last post..... I would hope you realize that I was agreeing with you.

I did realize it.
I just pointed that, they probably do not care if their program's cause problems to some of their users* since they already grabbed the money.

Personally if I did not have 2 pcs with 32gb and 64gb of ram (so that I can put the streamfab temp folder in a ram drive) I wouldn't have bought a windows license.

And I'm suprised that people buy mac and andoid versions of streamfab. Either they are clueless or simply change their hardware every year. (ssd's in macs cannot be user replaced, and the same is true for phones and tablets)

*imaging having 80gb free space and you download a video of 16gb. Your system will go into a hard lock and in some cases you won't even be able to restart it unless you go in recovery mode and free at least 20-40mb by deleting some files.
