Klaxxon Starts Where aXXo Left Off
Written by Ernesto on December 20, 2007A few weeks ago we reported that the popular DVD ripper aXXo decided to take a break and stopped releasing new material for the time being. Around the same time a new face entered the non-scene scene and whenever people searched for aXXo torrents, KLAXXON rips started to appear.
The last official aXXo torrent was uploaded over a month ago, after that is has been awfully quiet. When aXXo was still active, an estimated one million people downloaded his DVDrips every month. This did not go unnoticed to malware peddlers and anti-piracy organizations who used the aXXo tag to spread their evil. However, it now seems that a new ripper called KLAXXON, is also benefiting from aXXo’s popularity.
It’s safe to say that KLAXXON’s name is inspired by aXXo, thereby using the popularity of aXXo to promote his/her DVDrips in the search results of BitTorrent sites. It’s an effective way to get attention because even after a month of absence, aXXo is still among the most searched keywords on most BitTorrent sites.
It turns out that KLAXXON’s timing was spot on. Intentionally or not, the rips (mostly older titles) started to appear on torrent sites a few days before aXXo posted his last torrent. The quality of the rips is not bad according to most of the comments. The only thing thats seems odd are the file sizes, they vary quite a bit, from 500MB to well over 1GB.
I doubt whether it’s wise, but KLAXXON even has a weblog with more details about the releases and a requests page where we read:
Please add your requests to the comments section below and klaxxon will try to provide the most popular requests. Please note this will depend on time constraints but klaxxon will endevour to satisfy as many of our loyal fans as possible. Thank you once again for your loyal support.
It looks like KLAXXON enjoys pleasing their “loyal fans” on their way to BitTorrent stardom. A hobby that turns out to be quite risky to some, I’m sure that the anti-pirates already placed their spotlights on this newcomer.
To be continued?

You people still using cd/dvd’s to view your flicks are losers. Drag that shit to a flash drive or external HD and use a usb dvd player. Get a clue people.
Build yourself a cheap HTPC (Home Theater PC) and you have no problems whatsoever. You can use quite old components like a PIII-800, which is also available with passive cooling, so no noise, and it plays back almost everything.
I’ve tried 2 standalone players and both had problems with many xvid and divx movies, although both got high grades in test reviews. The HTPC works like a charme…
I’ve watched over 2000 divx movies on my standalone player.
I burn each one to cd in less then 3 minutes.
NEVER had even one that wouldn’t play.
Not sure where did your shopping.xD
And my player was a whopping $30 lol.
That’s good for you. Mine had. I guess the problematic files were mostly old Divx 3.1. Maybe they weren’t encoded properly, who knows.
Anyway, I wouldn’t want to give it away whatsoever, because it has still some other advantages. Like the ethernet connection to my main PC, the integrated hardrive, and the possibility to use it as a digital VCR… :)
why the fuck is everyone complaining ? you getting the FUCKING MOVIE FOR FREE!
Please post a link to where i can buy one of these so called $25 standalone Divx players.
this post is great and yeah there are lots of other good rippers, but the kat who claims to have a 6K stereo system, your a douchebag!
I don’t believe you for one minute, for no one that can afford a 6k stereo system is out downloading ripped music and movies. The person who has a 6K stereo system is out buying the best HD or BLURAY and whatever that version of supreme quality music on dvd. Why, cause they got a 6K system that can push out some great sound!
To Anonymous Re: post #52:
The one thing I learned in my studies at writing papers is to quote properly the entire context of an author before making your own analysis! I give you a F for your half-assed misquotation of me and then making a false analysis.
You say, “It sounds like you waste a lot of DVDs”; but you misquoted me! Where you drew a quote from me, the rest of that paragraph is and I quote (myself) is, “Or if you have the time and don’t care how long it takes to download, you can download a complete DVD-R format and just burn it directly onto a DVD RW (don’t waste money on non-rewritable DVD’s–just watch the movie, erase it and burn a new movie)!”
It’s you that wastes money buying CD-R’s (and not even CD-RW’s)! Also I do know what I’m talking about when I’m suggesting to people who don’t have DIVX players and need to convert avi’s to DVD format! Most people who break up a long movie in to 2 CD’s, each approx. 700 MB, combining them does usually end up with syncing problems! The easiest solution is to convert each CD into a separate DVD. But you can burn both parts on one 4.7 GB DVD+/-RW, watch part 1 and the watch part two–simple! That’s easier, more convenient for people plus you don’t need to worry about syncing problems; there’s no need to combine 2 avi’s into big one big avi file and then proceed to convert a 1.4 GB avi to a single 4.7 GB DVD.
Also your argument is pretty stupid when you say and I quote (you), “Plenty of standalone DivX players have file size and dimension limits. For example, mine will not play a file over 2 gigs. Also, I don’t need to bother buying more DVD-Rs when I can fit a movie quickly on one of my CD-Rs.” Again that’s stupid because you’re buying non-rewritable CD’s when I’m doing the same thing with rewritable DVD’s! I burn as many avi files as I can on one DVD+RW, I watch my movies, I erase the DVD and burn more projects! Just because your DivX player can’t handle files larger than 2 gigs doesn’t mean you need to burn these files on small storage media! You just make sure no one avi file is greater than 2 gigs and you burn your movies on rewritable DVD’s–your argument is illogical!!!
Finally to add insult into injury, your next post #53, you say, “You people still using cd/dvd’s to view your flicks are losers. Drag that shit to a flash drive or external HD and use a usb dvd player. Get a clue people.” If on the above post #52 you’re arguing that you have a Divx player and then you follow that up with calling people who still use this technology (dvd DiVX opposed to players that hooked up and read directly off of external hard drive media which include small flash memory cards)losers, than logically you’re calling yourself a loser! Why argue a point about the limitations of cd/dvd DivX players, including your own player and then critize people for using that very same technology?
Logic dictates you’re a loser!!!!
Answering ‘Please Help’ Re: post #58
I live in Canada, if you live in the U.S. or wherever you live don’t be lazy, just search the major electronic stores for DVD Divx players; here’s a sample of cheap players I found in 2 minutes:
http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=DVD+Players&product=1615140
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10086742&catid=20208
Just find what you’re interested in and buy it on Boxing Day otherwise known as December 26th when the day after X-mas sales go on–you’ll definitely find a cheap DVD Divx player for $25!!!
Good luck and happy hunting!
Bottom line, dude, no one is wasting money buying cds.
You see buddy, when you burn it to cd, not only can you now watch it on your inexpensive divx player, you ALSO get to put that copy away, like back on an empty spool, or in a cd case. You see, now you don’t have that file sitting or taking space on your hard drive and you can watch it again, or even copy it back to your hard drive if you want.
omg, dude, give up.
The pennies you pay for cd are priceless so long as you have your divx player. Even the USB dude up there cant touch a cd. That file eventually gets erased.
The average rate AT BEST to burn and covert an avi to DVD is about 30 minutes, and again thats at best probably at very low quality settings.
The average rate to burn a divx cd is less then 3 minutes.
ummmm. u do the math.
Re: Post #63
The average rate to burn the same avi (not to convert it) file to a CD takes the exactly the same time as writing it to a DVD. But if you’re just going to place a disc on a divx player, why buy CD’s when you can burn 7 times the amount on a DVD (and make it RW)!!!
I don’t get why all you people love CD’s? Tell me, how many times can you watch the same movie? If you’re building a library, well fine, otherwise move on with your life! Burn your avi’s on rewritable DVD’s, watch your movies, erase the disc and do it all over again! Yah CD’s are cheap but so are DVD RW’s and you don’t need many; get 10 that’s all you’ll ever need!
correction: for whatever reason, my last post just became #63, right now my post #63 should be a response to #62.
————————————–
Also unless the numbers change on me again, in response to #58, where you can get a $25 standalone Divx player; just search on-line at the main electronic stores for DVD Divx players, you’re bound to find a cheap product. Also I would wait until Dec. 26th for the day after Christmas sales. Find what you want now and then go to a store early on Dec. 26th and who knows, maybe you’ll get one for $20?
klaxxon just sounds ridiculously gay.

Why would you even THINK of converting one movie into TWO DVDs, and then assault my logic? Why not merge them, and then convert to DVD? Oh, wait, you think this results in errors every time. I’m sorry if my merging files together without breaking them displeases you, but I’d rather not have my movies be interrupted midway. The Bourne trilogy fits wonderfully on a single DVD with my method. Sorry, no sync errors. I use Avidemux to merge 2 CD releases, it works better than Virtualdub for me, I’d recommend it to anyone attempting to merge files. You should give it a try.

Why? I want to watch a movie as a single file, not have my movie experience broken up into pieces. And actually, I don’t burn 2-CD releases to CD-Rs. I was just saying that if I found a 1-CD release, I could easily fit it onto a CD-R, this is why having the 700MB multiple rule is useful. However, I want to keep my movies rather than copy over them as you seem to do. This is why I do not use DVD-RWs, though they are quite useful for current television episodes. Also, why did you think I was trying to burn a file over 2GB onto a CD-R? That’s insane. I just don’t want an ENTIRE MOVIE I burn to be over 2GB in size. Yes, total. I like to have my movie as a single file. If you like it your way, I’m not fighting you to change.

That’s right, I’m every anonymous poster on the web. Go ahead, Google anonymous. You’ll see I’m several places at once. Actually, that guy was making the point that he could do exactly what you do without bothering to burn a disc. It sounds like a rather useful idea, and if I wasn’t on a budget I might have to try out his idea.
Thank god it’s only YOUR logic to dictate whether people are losers or not. I think it’s blatant how flawed your logic really is.

Ssh! “like the good old days” pff…get a life! Piracy is a salvation, allowing people to have what they wouldn’t be able to without it. Let everyone enjoy it… Connecting a greater number of people certainly increase the number of files being shared, increasing also the possibility of founding what i’m lookin for =)

I just remembered why I haven’t visited here in ages……..Idiots bitchin’ about quality of free stuff……Lame dickheads that think they are part of the scene….the scene is a bunch of handbags & geeky little nerds…….idiots that think they are superior and 1337….bottomline telling us what an R5 is……pfft, cheers for that mate, you so clever! bet you love impressing your lil’ buddys with your massive knowledge on all this really naughty piracy stuff…….what a rebel without a clue. The only half sensible people here are the ones that realise TF & Ernesto are the biggest joke on the web……..the guy doesn’t have a fuckin clue.
Just enjoy your free movies & shit, if the qualitys no good, DL another one! I’m only on a poxy 4mb line and I can get a 700mb file in 30 minutes……whats the fuckin problem?
Kudos to everyone that feels me…..the rest of y’all can get ya gums round me plums……..especially the scene & Ernesto the ladyboy!

It’s just a representation of everything… If someone names their releases something like “SAW 4 (iv) GOOD QUALITY, DVD QUALITY, MYNAMERHERE”, what would that say about their releases?

I don’t download his releases - I haven’t for a very very long time. The last one was half a year ago, and before that it was probably before he was so famous.
