DESCRIPTION
MovieConverter Studio is a set of video tools:
- Encoding module (for DVD or DV):
Unlike other video apps, MovieConverter automatically fixes all your difficulties (anamorphic or interlaced files, standard conversion PAL-NTSC -without jerk- to conform videos to your television specifications). But MovieConverter handles simple video too.
- FREE HD Module: Convert videos from your camcorder HD (AVCHD, TOD and Sanyo) into QuickTime compatible files (ready for iMovie -HD, '08 or '09- and FinalCut)(PS: no need to register ;)).
- DVD-Video Module: Automatically create a DVD-Video with menus, thumbnails and captions (from Encoding Module or reuse your EyeTV files).
- Modify module (eg: to conform streams from your JVC Everio to DVD-Video, without re-encoding).
- Mux Module: combine audio(s), video(s) and subtitles into a single MPEG.
- Demux Module: extract audio(s), video(s) and subtitles too!
MovieConverter Studio, expert's functions "for dummies".
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.53:
- Compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- option to clean "hardcoded pulldown" movies (NTSC badly encoded movies with frame duplication).
- Fix a bug with DV output and some audios.
- Mux module: Fix/add compatibility of buggy AC3 file. Subtitles: preview the "character encoding" before process. Subtitles: fix their synchronization.
- Mux/Demux/DVD-Video modules: fix a bug with files with multiples audios.

BARRY COONY Strange interface but in it does the works. Although I had a problem with one NTSC movie. The result was a squashed aspect ratio. Other movies are converted nicely. | |

ROBOTANK Overall, I think this is an excellent application. It works as advertised, making the conversion and authoring process (with menus and chapters) quick and mostly automated. For those who want a little more control, you can tweak encoding quality and some advanced options, as well as add custom pictures and audio to menus. The default settings for encoding produce good results, and PAL to NTSC conversions look great. It does have a non-standard interface, which I realize is an issue for some people, but it's very intuitive and fairly uncluttered. The only quibble I have is a minor one: the appearance of the default DVD menus could be better (I don't like the way they always display 6 little thumbnail boxes even if there's only one title). Give this app a try; and don't worry: it's not one of the numerous scamware converters that have popped up over the last few months (Aimersoft, iSkySoft, Wondershare, etc.).

ROBOTANK Actually, there's something about the demo version of this app that maybe I should have mentioned in my review. I encountered a bug when attempting to convert a couple of PAL AVIs. It gave an error message after synchronizing the audio saying something about the length of the audio stream not being what it should (the error message was in French, which I can read/speak only moderately well). I assumed the problem was related to the known bug the developer mentions on his web site regarding certain types of movie files where the video and audio are offset. However, I tried the conversion again after registering the software, and it worked fine. Whatever the problem was, it appears to be confined to the demo version. I'll email the dev with this bug too, but I thought it may be useful to post it here in case anyone else encounters it.

about the "error message [...] in French" 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 ;)) waiting for your mail

MCHERVE Hello, a few comments, although I'm not sure I completely understood your "ticket mood/comments". 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? | |

FORMICA This developer is a little flaky - released MovieConverter 1.41 but didn't get much interest. So, s/he changed the name and a couple days later released MovieConverter Studio 1.411, still to lukewarm response (which shocked me, because who wouldn't be thrilled about video software that can make ALL decisions for you?). I'm a little leery of these new-name movie converters that suddenly appear, because somebody has been low-renting the same useless piece-of-crap converter to a whole bunch of different get-rich-quick goombahs, who then rename it, maybe splash on a different skin, then try to sell it to all the people in the world who suddenly discovered they can rip, convert, compress and burn their own version of "The Fountain" to play on their dad's widescreen and impress their girlfriends' pants off with their mad skills and decidedly cosmopolitan taste in film. I'm not saying that MovieConverter Studio-Mixer-Betamax 1.41112136 is one of those! How could I know, since it's completely hobbled and therefore incapable of expressing its capabilities? So, like many (I'm sure), I just trashed it rather than pay $20 for a license to something with NO street cred, because everything about it on the web -- very little, indeed -- was clearly written by the same French rockin', renamin' code warrior who wrote it, and the same person who hasn't yet heard about x264). Of course, it's possible that I'm utterly wrong about this app, and to my chagrin it turns out that MovieTransmogrifier-Spa Edition v. Pi is actually the new pro bono, open source, developer-pays-YOU-ware, bane of the MPAA, mutant SorensonToastFairBrake-the-Ripper-MounterDVD2None-for-Dummies, well then my bad ;)

ROBOTANK A funny and well-written comment. Thanks for that. I have no opinion on this software, but I always appreciate good writing!

MCHERVE a progressive PAL will be converted to NTSC FILM with a slowdown (reverse the process of transferring a movie from theater to PAL video) an interlaced PAL will be converted to NTSC Video without duration change (but with calculation of new fields) ...just try it ;)

CORPSECORPS CONVERTS cleanly between PAL and NTSC? I'm very skeptical!

QUIETZAPPLE Why are there no reviews if there have been 1,000 + downloads? I need to know if a tyro can use this to convert PAL Eye TV files (1.8.6 I think) to NTSC vid files.

MCHERVE Hello, I don't know why nobody reviewed it (but I have "some" users, and broadcasters too ;) ) I don't have an eyetv, so I cannot verify it by myself. But users reported me good behavior with the files in .eyetv package without exporting to mpeg. the only pb (with .eyetv packaged files without export): the announced duration will be wrong (so will be the progress bar). But collect the real duration is tooooo slow (almost 1 minute for 1 hour duration on my Core2Duo) If you encounter a problem with your file, export it (from Eyetv) to a regular MPEG. If there is another problem(???), feel free to contact me directly. PS: sorry but I don't understand the word "tyro" (I'm french) PSS: next version will add compatibility with QuickTime 7.4(and more). | |
