I've been using VideoReDo 6 on wine-staging for a good few months now and it works for the most part (the batch manager doesn't as it can't register the COM component).
I have a licenced version of VideoReDo which you register with a name & key, as with a lot of other software.
When I installed rc2 the other week and then opened VideoReDo I was prompted with the activation wizard. As I had already registered and been using the application, this was a bit of a surprise, however I followed the activation process again to register the product, but it failed to register.
There's a thread at https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=33287&e with the error messages, which appear to suggest the internet connection is unavailable.
I created a fresh wine prefix to make sure the existing prefix wasn't the issue. VideoReDo still failed to activate my licence.
I then downgraded back to rc1. The activation wizard still appeared but it did let me activate the product (unlike rc2).
This error persists with rc3. I have tested again with a new prefix but still cannot activate my licence unless I downgrade back to rc1.
I would suggest this is therfore a regression.
