DVDRemaster recompresses large DVDs so they can be burned on a standard DVD or convert them so they can be watched on your video iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad Apple TV and many other portable devices. DVDRemaster accommodates both novices and experts with its simple but yet powerful interface.

DVDRemaster also allows you to extract raw data streams from your DVD that can also be reused in other video editing applications.

I have been using Toast Titanium 14.2 for a very long time, and it has been doing everything I've needed it to do... except for the occasional need to use DVDRemaster to compress a VIDEO_TS folder down to 4.5GB to fit on a standard DVD before burning with Toast (which otherwise says the file appears to be corrupted). Now I want to move beyond macOS Mojave to Catalina (or Big Sir) which requires 64-bit applications. My question/problem is: since DVDRemaster is no longer an available and supported option, does anyone know if there is there a reliable 64-bit replacement for DVDRemaster that someone can recommend to simply recompress a VIDEO_TS folder down to fit a standard size DVD? Or if Toast Titanium 19 has an improved VIDEO_TS Fit-to-DVD video compression burning such that I am unlikely to need DVDRemaster like I occasionally needed before? Unfortunately, Toast Titanium does not appear to be as reliable as it once was, based on some of the more recent reviews, but I will need to upgrade to it anyway for the 64-bit support. I have tried Mac DVDRipper Pro and it rips DVDs just fine, but it is unable to burn the larger VIDEO_TS folders to a standard DVD. It apparently does not have any video compression routines, contrary to the statements I've seen that DVDRemaster would be incorporated into it. In the mean time, I plan to use my older Mac with High Sierra to run Toast Titanium 14.2 and DVDRemaster (along with RipIt) until something comes along that will meet those needs on a 64-bit macOS system. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Here is an update. On my Mac running High Sierra, DVDRemaster Pro v7.2 (App Store Version) and DVDRemaster v8.0.3 (Download version) appear to run just fine. But when I first run DVDRemaster v8.0.3, I always get this message "Do you want the application “h264daemon” to accept incoming network connections?". Click Allow and all will be fine or change your Firewall settings accordingly. It is a pity that the program is no longer being developed. There really is not a good alternative for Mac users who want to compress DVD's.

Can anybody help me and advice me as to how I may retrieve my Licence Key code for my DVDremaster which I purchased quite sometime ago. Unfortunately I had a lot of problems with my Mac El Capitan and since then I have lost so many folders and files including all of my Licence key codes for lots of software products which I had bought in the past. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I'm using the latest version of Sierra, and this app still works flawlessly, I will continue to use it until it no longer works. Yes, some of the technology has been incorporated into Mac DVDRipper Pro (MDRP), but the vast array of editable compression features has not. I still use this for compressing a dual-layer DVD into a single layer.

Here's the official final word from the Metakine web site: "DVDRemaster has been acquired by DVDSuki Software and is no longer for sale. Parts of it will be integrated into Mac DVDRipper Pro." That means that DVDRemaster is no longer going to be a standalone product. That sucks. I always found DVDRemaster to be the best alternative to the recently problem plagued DVD2OneX. Oh well, life goes on.

This app is no longer listed on Metakine's site. Is it discontinued? It was the best at what it di, but just like the last person to post, there were problems with versions 7 & 8 that were never resolved. I suppose thats because they knew it was going to be abandoned. Sad, this was a very easy and flexible transcoder. I especially loved the ability to do hard or soft subtitles.

I spend a lot of time to this app. Since version 4 I used it and was happy with it until the point who I bought an Apple TV. For the latest Update from version 7 to 8 I waste my money (again). What's happen? Near the (silent) end of version 7 I was starting a conversation with the support around coding my videos with Dolby Sourround 5.1 for my Apple TV. My problem is, that if I coding a video with a dolby digital 5.1 track, it takes a lot of time on my Apple TV (3. Gen) to load and start the movie. My hope was was, that I can found a solution with metakine to let coding my videos correctly, place them in iTunes and select them from my Apple TV with a quick playback after selecting the movie. I also give them the tip, that a coding with Dolby Sourround 5.1 will work perfectly when I using the free HandBrake application, who's Open Source. The developer promised me, to look at this problem to fix it with a future update, but they don't. A few months later, they deliver version 8 and at this point I was knowing, that I never will got a fix for my "5.1" problem in version 7, so I decide to buy version 8 to. I'm still waiting for a fix of that and I'm not the only one. Also you need to know, that DVDRemaster is not able to rip DVDs who are copy protected. With version 7 they also delicver the tool "FairMount" who was for free. This tool using the source of the VLC Media Player to mount each DVD as an image to safe it on the Hard Drive of your mac. With Version 8 they announced, that metakine has sold the app to Mac DVDRipper Pro. Since them you are not longer able to download FairMount for free. So if you want to safe a DRM protected DVD, you need Mac DVDRipper Pro or RipIt, who are booth shareware to. Booth applications can convert movies to an iOS format to btw. Well... You have not so much settings as on DVDRemaster. The only good thing of this application is, that it looks nice and easy and it works good with subtitles. But you can do the most with the Open Source Application HandBrake to. This Softare came with different predefinied settings to for different devices and you are also able to edit each config and safe them for later, when you want. Only the Subtilte thing is sadly not the best on HandBrake. With this deal you didn't safe realy much money (and there where be much better deals in the past for this software). It's an to expensive application for that what you can do with it. And be warned, that you must pay for each big update 9,99 US Dollar. And don't trust the low version numbers. The next version can berelased soon... Version 4 was relased in 2008 Version 5 was relased on Feb. 2009 version 6 was relased on Dec. 2009 Version 7 was relased on Feb. 2011 Version 8 was relased on Jul. 2012 My tip: If you just want to safe a DVD on your HD and search for a simple solution to convert it for you iOS devices, spend your money to Mac DVDRipper Pro or RipIt. They also came with a quick and good solution to convert a video. If you want to have a better control on the final coding for other decives, give HandBrake a try, who's for free. The price for this application is overpriced.

I have the latest version of RipIt already. Does DVDRemaster do anything significantly different that that app? Or is it just a competitor and they basically do the same thing... rip from DVDs and transcode to various video/audio formats? Thanks!

DVDRemaster 8.0.4 cranks up the CPU to 77% on my Late-2006 2.16 GHz Core2Duo iMac with 2 GB of RAM running Mac OS 10.6.8, and to 35% on my Mid-2012 2.9 GHz Core i7 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM running Mac OS 10.8.2. The CPU remains cranked up until I finally have to close the app. Anyone else having this problem?

I using this applications since a long time for now and buy the upgrades several times. The god thing is, that this software is very easy to use. You have an little all rounder who can rip DVDs (you need FairMount if the DVD is protected and VLC 1.X), converting the movies in different formats (Quicktime Movie, iPod/iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and more) or export single files from the DVD with only less clicks. So you will make nothing wrong if you search for an simple solution to safe your DVD's on the Mac. That's are the good things. The bad part is the very long time who this app need to convert a movie. I have no idea why this happen, because HandBrake doing it quit faster and it's for free. On my core 2 duo a full DVD copy who's safed on my HD needs around 40 minutes, on DVDRemaster I need to wait over one hour for an final result. This can happen because of some video-settings, not sure but I'm very happy to with the results of HandBrake. The other negative thing is the support for the Apple TV in combination with Dolby Surround (AC3 Passthrough). I have made a lot of different testings with the latest version of DVD Remaster Pro 7 and now with 8 to, but it's ever the same result. If I'm choosing the Dolby track and a non-coding for that track, the Apple TV 3 will need a lot of time to start the movie (around 6 minutes). This is unacceptable for me. I try the same stuff with HandBrake and on this app it works absolutely perfect. My movie has a stereo and dolby channel after the export and the movie starts immediately on the Apple TV. I explain this problem in several mails to the developer and he collect all my informations, but he can't say me anything about the status or future plans. Now they deliver an update of DVD Remaster 8 and in the change log is still nothing around the bad coding around AC3 Passtrought. This makes me a bit angry.
