Cinematize Pro

Why is this advertised on MacUpdate as the latest version, release date 15 April 2019 and still being available when the company's web site clearly says, "Miraizon sales have ended.
We sincerely thank you for
your patronage and loyal support."

The company no longer exists!

I loved this app, and was so sad when I saw it has been abandoned. I have looked desperately for an app that would extract audio from DVD discs. I'm very happy to report that I have found an excellent replacement for Cinematize in DVD Audio Extractor. No, it is not for "DVD Audio" discs, but rather extracts the audio from plain old DVD video discs AND decrypts them too which Cinematize never did. It also works with Blu-ray discs! To remove tougher encryption of BD discs, you'll need MakeMKV, but it is a stellar app in and of itself and worth buying anyway.

So, I hope this helps ex-Cinematize customers. No, I have no relation to any of these companies.

Doesn't seem to work with David Bowie Ziggy Stardust DVD... Complains about being unable to open "the selected File Group".

Is there anything that performs the same functions with Blu-ray discs?

PROS: * Very Fast, very capable converter. I would trust the reliability of its output over all others. Definitely something you could use in a Professional environment. * Very Good Support (extremely rare these days)** They actually respond to email * A MANUAL (a printed one is available) WOW!! * Highly Configurable CONS: * Somewhat confusing interface: Even after years of [somewhat irregular] use I need to refer to manual. * Missing Pre-done Presets (ex: “iPod HR”, “DV FullRes” ) These could act at least as a starting point. Further: Pre-done and user presets should be available via menu items (they currently exist as seperate files on disk). In a nutshell: product could seriously benefit by copying Handbrake’s approach. * No support for Chapters in H.264 Developer explained this is because Apple doesn't "officially" support chapters. However: chapters have been functioning for years now. and, Given that one can’t rely on Apple to support anything longterm it seems a mute point. IMHO: include them with the caveat that this could mess with long term compatibility. * Pricey: (Especially updates) Most will be surprised that I list this last. But, although CPro IS considerably pricier than similar options, I’m not sure it’s overpriced. You’re paying for a kind of professional quality and support that simply doesn’t come with shareware or even full fledged programs these days. Also, it’s written so solidly, it’s not really necessary to update with each OS iteration.

Wow, no update in over 2 years?

surely is a very good piece of soft.. only I just can't understand why for every update they make, the application has ALWAYS an awful incompatibility with all current installed components.. this time is for DivX Encoder.component and LAMEEncoder.component, wich if not taken off the quicktime folder make the application crash... and since its not a components related problem, as i use them nornally, I wonder why they don't take a little more time to avoid this kind of annoying things to happen.. last time was the same but for the sheervideo.component, do you mind to make things a little bit more compatible in the future??? I would really appreciate it.

Cinematize Pro converts non protected DVDs to movie files. Encoding is realised through its own engine so it doesn't suffer the same synchronisation bugs currently present in the Quicktime engine. iPod m4v results surpass Quicktime itself.
