today, i see a guide and i am very interested in subtitle adjusting and editing, and i own the platinum version of xilisoft DVD ripper , never think about the ultimate version. actually, they have email me about spent $19 to upgrade to the ultimate, but i did not pay any attention about the new functions. recently i DIY some video clips, and need to add watermark and adjust subtitle. this one boasts it can do these so. i have downloaded and tried, hum, i want to say it is perfect! if u have the needs as me go to see it is details. and heres the guide written by Phoebe Cho http://www.tucows.com/article/2128
That’s right, many of people don’t want to spend dollars to the software, only think it’s a waste of money. Maybe DVD Decryper is your best choice. It’s so popular because of “free”. It can copy DVDs to your PC. From there you can choose to watch them with the likes of PowerDVD and WinDVD or you can re-encode them to MPEG-1(VCD) or DivX. Though the website dvddecrypter.com was shut down and development on it halted, we can still download it through any other places. I have used it for a long time, and help me a lot. I’ve used Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum for more than one year. Recently, I paid only $19 to upgrade. The current version has added more functions which other same kind software does not have. The function attracted me most is the “merge and clip the segment”. It can clip any segment of the movie, and then merge them into one. Wow! I can be a scenarist and have my own play! Also it’s added one Bitrate Calculator tool, which can customize the output file size. If you are using this product like me, you will find more improvement in this version. BTW, if you have never used it before and now you want to do something like editing your DVD and backup to your hard disc, you can try it. Although it’s upgrading, the price is still $45 as before, in my opinion, it’s a good choice for new users.
Shareware and freeware are both the tools to solve our problem or make our digital life more wonderful. What you should think is whether it can meet your needs and whether it’s worth to buy or not.
i've tried a product support MKV format, this program seems that developed by a new company in this industry, but during the trial period, it is very stable. i have ever used imtoo MPEG ENCODER and winavi video converter to try to convert the very large video files, but these two software crashed, beyond my imaginle the OJOsoft total video converter can complete the task perfectly. at begining, i try this program just the same as you that i need to convert MKV format. well, hope it can solve your problem. by the way, give u the url of the product or you can just google it by enteringthe name: http://www.ojosoft.com/video-converters/total-video-converter.html
These days, I did an implementation of Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum and Xilisoft DVD Ripper Ultimate. When it’s done, my eyes are dropped into a tiny spot, where a set of options of Video Level ranking would be presented on both of them if specific output file profile was one of AVC videos. That is an interesting setting and I just dimly recalled something similar to what I had read on a tech article about audio and video coding.
From a sweaty work on searching, I eventually retrieve that presentation naming of The Emerging H.264/AVC Standard. It represents H.264/AVC, the current video coding standard especially in comparison to the former one – MPEG-2, Bla Bla Bla…… Suddenly, one paragraph flips onto my sight perfectly matching what I’m seeking. It’s been said, “Eleven levels are defined, specifying upper limits for the picture size (in macroblocks), the decoder-processing rate (in macroblocks per second), the size of the multi-picture buffers, the video bit-rate and the video buffer size.”
We can see the levels essentially specify the conformance points designed to facilitate interoperability and correlations between various applications of the H.264/AVC standard. In terms of that article, detailed references for the level specification relate to maximum number of macroblocks per picture, the maximum number of macroblocks per second, maximum decoded picture buffer size, maximum bit rate, maximum coded picture buffer size and vertical motion vector ranges.
Maybe it’s a little hard to understand these technical terms, let me tell you some. For example, frame means an image captured at some instant in time and a field is the set of every-other line that would form an image at some instant in time; macroblock is an area less than 16 by 16 pixels in a frame; buffer is defined as compensation for a difference in rate of flow of data, or time of occurrence of events, when transferring data from one to another, and so on. And I find out a parameter comparison between the level rankings of these two DVD rippers as below:
Tips: Output video quality would be capable for digital TV applications with parameters of level 40 chosen.
as to 'what format for the MOV extension would your DVD recorder need to be changed to? ', maybe you could convert the mov video files to mpeg or Divx. But, the key point is what formats your Portable DVD Reader can support. anyway, try these two formats.
hi, guy,i am very familiar with these five products in the URL ,honestly speaking, there's no much difference among these kinds of programs, only different price, converting speed, a couple of different formats. i recommend one called DVD to iPod Converter ,very fast speed , and the most important point is that this software studio is a professional developer of multimedia software applications on Mac.
hi, first of all,how big is the video file? and can u load the file successfully? if so, you can try one program-imtoo mpeg encoder, after loading the video file successfully, you can set the 'split' to '4.7GB Recordable DVD' or just use 'custom time' Furthermore, this program can do you task 'converting the h264 file to avi ' perfectly with very fast speed, anyway you can try the free trial version first and compare nero , alive and imtoo
It's been a quite while now since Apple unleashed their iPhone, the smart and lightweight handheld device which have a gorgeous 3.5" screen. It can make phone talks, netsurf via internet with Safari, and play crisp videos and music as iPod. Admittedly, there are a lot of complaints from people about iPhone's short life in battery, exclusive use for AT&T;and high price. But we all have known and realized that iPhone has been playing a big number in Apple's iPod family.
In terms of the tech parameters published officially in Apple's site, we noticed that except the screen size, all the video and audio formats supported by Video iPods are totally the same, especially iPod Touch, it seems to be another iPhone just without the mobile phone connection. And the truth is, there are some differences amongst them, even they are very tiny so as to masses always overlook them unconsciously. For example, the iPhone's requirement is video bit rate at 2.5Mbps, while the iPod Classic and iPod Nano can be playing over 3.0Mbps. It doesn’t mean iPhone cannot support this 3.0Mbps kind, but if you’ve tried, you’d have to take my words, coz the 3.Mbps videos is unable to work on iPhone and iPod Touch. But what's the matter if you are just playing videos in an iPod or an iPhone? In order to demonstrate what I said, I did some tests to compare the displaying quality between iPhone and iPod. First of all, I just converted a DVD video file to iPod MPEG-4 video format by using Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter, set the resolution at 480 by 320 and bit rate at 2.5Mbps. And then, I did this DVD to iPhone conversion and settings again with the DVD to iPhone Converter from Xilisoft, although the output profile was named iPhone MPEG-4 (480*320). After that, I transferred the converted video files into a iPod Nano and an iPhone respectively thru Xilisoft iPod Rip, iPod and iPhone software for transfer, and no surprising, the video quality plays well as in the same criterion just with your eyes. By the way, these iPod and iPhone software from Xilisoft Corporation are way easy to use. The only spot which cannot content my needs is that the iPod rip doesn't have an option to modify the file name, even though it did better at removing video files directly from iPod or iPhone than Apple's iTunes.
So the conclusion is that iPhone can play videos perfectly as Video iPod did. Just like my tests, maybe most DVD to iPod converter software can fulfill your requests in DVD to iPhone conversion no matter you owned a Video iPod and an iPhone or just one of them.
