…about UI clarification and some updates (but not about mkv files: the app already accept them, if it does not accept YOUT file, contact me directly to see what happened)
A brand-new-(but beta) version will be released soon: with a better ergonomy ;-) At first time, they will be no new visible features in this app (new features will be available in the release version only)

It desperately needs an update, so hopefully the dev will take that opportunity to rework its UI to follow more standard guidelines, or at the very least have the Help files rewritten by a native English speaker to make them more intelligible (I speak fluent French and English but still struggle with it). It's even difficult to determine what it can and cannot do - partly because of the UI and partly because of its very poorly written Help files.
Developer, please don't dismiss my comments about your UI. That is a consistent complaint of many commenters here, so please reconsider MCS's design.
"please reconsider MCS's design" : yes, and I reconsidered it yet (the app wasn't ergonomic enough)
But I don't understand your complain about Help (an native english speaker corrected help). But the help is still too technical, so too boring (so, not very functional for lambda users)
See you after the new version ;)

for some reason, when i use the converter it only converts the first 2 minutes of my video. why is this happening?
-1
Did you read the description on this page? (aka the app is Shareware)
Did you read the "splash screen" at launch time? (saying that -whitout registration- this app limits encoding to 3 minutes long)
And if the concern was elsewhere, so contact me directly and explain what happened ;-).
PS: thanks for the "no feedback" but the 2 stars

I find I try all the programmes but if I ever
have problems this always sorts them out
9 times out of 10.
Great little programme.

If you will manage to reproduce it, so it's a bug (and contact me directly to correct it)

Although I had a problem with one NTSC movie. The result was a squashed aspect ratio.
Other movies are converted nicely.
Good app

about the "error message [...] in French"
please send me a mail :)
About audio and synch (chapter FAQ on the site), the audio could be out of synch if it begins after the video & extracted from ffmpeg (this is not the most commun case, usually audio DVB-T, mts, etc begins before video). So if the audio is not extracted with QuickTime or mplayer, I don't have enough controls to compensate it yet (this is very complicated, I want to handle it in all modules, so …in a future version).
About DVD-Video menus "6 little thumbnail boxes", in fact they is 9 thumbnails ;)
The aim of this module is to produce not ugly menus automatically. Actually, these fixed thumbnails are a "little boring", next major revision will introduce some cooler menus (animated thumbnails, display in full screen for all tv 4:3 or widescreen, easier organization of tracks, etc). But I will keep the thumbnails principle.
iDVD and MovieGate can produce some personnalised menus. The aim of my module is "don't waste time, some clics and it's OK, maybe not perfect but no 'taste error' and very functional"). Actually I'm making a DVD with trailers on my PPC (test purpose): 79 files, 1 naviguation menu, 9 submenus to access to all tracks, all of them with animated thumbs. It's not speed (PPC!) but it works ( and not too ugly for my FullHD TV ;))

MovieConverter changed its name to MC Studio since version 1.4 (kept it with the 2 minor updates, and will keep it in the next major update - soon).
The name has changed due the additional features: MCS handles HighDefiniton videos for editing. Before, MCS outputs only to StandardDefinition for editing, or DVD-Video(SD too).
Seems you readed and didn't like my bogus testimonials on the site, sorry if you didn't find it fun enough.
I could write real feedbacks by some real users: like "Arte" or "France3" national broadcasters, director "Mathieu Kassovitz", "Capa Tv" movies production, etc
but I prefer my funny ones ;-).
PS: for h264, uses the free Handbrake (even one x264/FFmpeg developper on Mac uses it)
to wrap it for BluRay, uses the free tsMuxeR Mac application
and if you want standard conversion you can use the free JESdeinterlacer (great soft too)
The aim of MovieConverter studio is only DVD-Video and editing.
So, if I well understood, your only concerns with my app are: new name and not enough feedback on the net?
great :-)
