XJSMITH  as the previous poster noted i too was concerned about the limited nature of the demo, but after email contact with the courteous and knowledgeable developer mr. serbian i took a chance and bought the app. i am truly impressed, it is an outstanding addition to my video tool kit. it has taken every type of conversion i have thrown at it and produced excellent results. the encoding process is at least 3 times faster than ivcd and approximates the length of your input file. for example a 65 min .mov project took 75 min to convert to mpeg2 and a few more minutes to burn. quality was almost at the level of a store bought dvd. very little pixelation or blocky stuttering. audio/video mix very smooth. extremely easy for the newbie to mac and video conversion to use. one-click dvd works flawlessly. countless options for the more fluent videophile to explore. customer support the best i have encountered on the web. help is just an email and seemingly a few minutes away. put your worries to rest on the limited demo and try the full package. you will be happy you did. 5 STARS

LITTLEB  pity the demo has alot of limitations it would be nice if the developer would offer a 15 days trail of the app without limits as this would allowed people to see it full benefit

ROBOTANK  I picked this up on the MU Promo and I'm very impressed. It works precisely as advertised and has a very easy to use interface. In addition, the developer was very helpful and quick to respond to my support request. Highly recommended.

BBASILICO  I bought and downloaded but I could not get to work out of the box...

It was my bad for not having the right Quicktime set-up.

The Developer was more than helpful with getting it up and running.

I have a couple other shareware programs for DVD work but this is my new favorite!

Worth the $25 and then some!

NORIKER  I'm having huge problems getting this app to do anything but hang up. Can you tell me what you changed about your QT setup? I can view MPEG2 videos without any problem. No matter if I want to export from MPEG1 or MPEG2 to QT or from anything to MPEG2 it always crashes. My computer is fast enough.

CEBE  I've been using this most useful app for several years. It never failed. I can recommend it to everybody, even to "beginners" as the developer is most helpful answering all kinds of questions about usage.
