I don't generally like shareware with a trial period that disables everything, and certainly in your case the free competition will completely destroy you if you go down that route (VLC, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, etc).

Hm... well yes but if his product is better and the free-trial period demonstrates this wouldn't alot of people be willing to pay alittle for the far better product regardless of whether the competitors are free?
