Unfortunately the owner has passed away and this lovely product is no longer supported other than comments here and there by a former employee on VRD's forum.
There is a thread discussing it here https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/407142-VideoReDo-owner-passed-away-product-ceased-seeking-alternatives
An already-installed/licensed version continues to work for now - the license-checking server is up, for the time being (but for an unknown duration) but it currently appears there may be little likelihood of it being taken over; apparently there's "external licensing costs of software it uses" to consider.
A really fantastic product may have bitten the dust.

Great software to for precisely clipping mkv's ripped from blu-ray on the timestamp/frame.
Note: For this project (2 Disc Blu-Ray), the idea was to clip the trailing section of the 1st disc to remove the few seconds (and notice showing end of 1st disc), then clip beginning of 2nd disc and join the 2 pieces into a seamless mkv (BDRX). While it clipped perfectly, it also converted the TrueHD/Atmos to PCM (creating a massive audio file size).
Originally attempted clipping with MKVToolNix (which is my go to for mkv's), but for this project that software would not clip at the correct frame/timestamp after several attempts. Could be a TrueHD issue vs DTS-MA, which did work very well.

keeps the original video quality the same by only recoding a few frames when cutting. Just is a bit expensive though.

I already tried version 2.5 on XP. It reacts 20x quicker, then the newest version.
It was the best Software to cut Mpeg.
Second Problem is, when i use QuickSync with XMediaRecode i have 180 FPS and good Quality.
With VideoRedo i use QuickSync and it makes only 50 FPS with bad Quality, while the better Software-h264 is doing 45 FPS.
I guess, VideoRedo always ignore my Interlace-Settings, because G-Spot show nothing.
Third Problem is, i am a big Xvid-Fan. It makes much better Quality than h264.
But VideoRedo have no Directshow-Output. Why not?
This is the main reason, i do only use a Trial, and after 3 days, i have enough from VideoRedo.
VR could be perfect, if i could buy Version 2.5 with Directshow-Output, and working Interlace-Settings and without Colour-Conversations,
to a low price.
Untill today i always go back to my old Mpeg4directmaker 5.6 with Mainconcept 1.01 Decoder, deactivated Colour-Conversation-Filter,
Xvid 1.22 and Fraunhofer Mp3 Pro.
VideoRedo is an exclusice Cutter Software. But i had to buy a new big Computer, to work with it :-)

Tried this in both XP and Win7,and it does an excellent job at editing out scenes losslessly you don't want(no need to rely on a keyframe), so you can edit out single frames), but the resultant audio always has terrible buzzing in parts of the track. It has this error outputting either mpeg or h264. I tried a mkv as a source, terrible audio again!
Why it screws up the audio I'm at a loss, hence my 1/10 value for money, glad it was a trial as I would have hated to pay my dosh for something which doesn't work as expected! Also it is very over complicated. Guess it's back using Machete, but programs like that depend on a key frame, so back to the drawing board and recoding.

Paid the one time fee (for the full version) in mid 2000s. Buy it.... you won't regret it. Worth every cent/$. Used to use it for editing out the ads from my snapstream TV files before I bought a used TIVO with lifetime subscription ($200 at a garage sale). Now i use it for converting DVD movie files to MPEG before using avi.NET to convert to DIVX format. Why the multi-steps? Because IMO it gives the highest quality/smallest size files for adding to my home library. Plus it's really not a big deal when most of it is automated. I just let each process run overnight on my PC.

Actually,
55trucker is nearly right on the money.
There IS no support for DTS of any format as *Dan* at VideoRedo has stated in the past he has considered DTS support, but, has not done so seeing as that would require purchasing a licence from Surcode to allow him to make use of their software program to encode to DTS either 5.1 or HDMA. That would require him to raise the price of the program to make up for the licencing expense.
As for the programs problem with PID's, I too have had some problems where these are concerned, everything I use the program for is with pre-existing HD (either 1080p or 720p) Bluray mkv's or m2ts files that I am editing for a particular reason. In both of these cases the PID'S MUST be visible to Videoredo or the program will not function. If the original source that encoded the video & the audio did not create the PID's then they must be created so the program will function. Also, this program only functions when both the video & the audio are present, the program cannot function without the audio portion of the file. In my case, when working with an HD file where the audio IS DTS, I have to unencode the 6 tracks back into wav and then re-encode them to AC3, remux them back into the file so Videoredo can *see* them.
I personally convert all my work to .ts files with TSMuxer because this program DOES create the PID's and afterwards I experience no issues at all with VideoreoSuite4.
All in all, a decent program, you have to know what it needs to make it work, keeping in mind that not everyone would use this for the depth of work that I personally need it for, but, it can do the job as long as what you enter into it, it can *see*.

55trucker doesn't know what he's talking about below. H264 editing including MKV and MP4 works great. I can only assume he's using an old/outdated version.
Latest version has "H264" in the filename, because thats what it works with.
Brilliant tool, constantly developed. Most shrareware tools aren't worth the paper they're printed on but this one is one of of the few worth paying the money for. Ok, it's not cheap but what it does it does oh so well and it's worth its asking price.
Superb. One of the essential tools in my box.

The VideoredoPlus program has to be (in my opinion) the easiest, smoothest software program for cutting,editing joining DVD vob files. I've used it for a few years and have no complaints about it's abilities.
The same however cannot be said for the TVSuite V4 program. I've many times tried to make use of this program (past versions & the current) to edit H264 files within a TS or MKV environment & this program just will not respond kindly. All too many times I will constantly get an error message staring at me stating *cannot find PID's* when the PID's are looking right at me from within Mediainfo or cannot open an *elementary stream* when into the *tools* portion attempting to mux a elementary video & an elementary audio stream together, or on any other ocassion...(this one is my favorite) *program not responding*.
To make things worse ..there is still no support for previewing a 264 file in the preview window that you are working on. This program in my opinion is just too fussy about the parameters it needs the file to meet before the program will can open it.
As of yet, there is still no support for regular DTS audio.
Luckily there is Famering's Smart Cutter, this little program is more user friendly and I'll keep using that until the bugs in Suite V4 are ironed out. Definitely not worth a $50 expense.

I simply luv it. Its really the best and easiest Editor for TV recordings if you like to get a untouched
Output as a DVD or H264. Cuttings are Frame correct. You see no overlappings/ pixelations.
With latest Support now for MKV Chapters and Mp4 Chapters they have done a next huge Step in the way people can use their HDTV Recordings on modern Blu-Ray Players or for example the WDTV Live / Plus / etc without losing the comfort of having Chapters which would be the only
reason on my Side to have a AVCHD creating in your mind. The WDTV doesnt supports Mp4 Chapters so far, but MKVChapters and this works really good.
The developers care much of Updates and fixing Problems as i can see
in the constantly Updates the Software gets.
Still missing Feature is in my Opinion:
Multiple Audio Streams Support
Only thing i may argue is the Pricing which is for my Opinion a bit too high set.
If i have to add Taxes for my country then i am at "100" Euro.
From what ive read is that many people would luv to buy it if it would be cheaper.
Since i did test the latest Beta now with the 14 Days Key ill perhaps buy it then in some months if i am able to hold back some money monthly till then.
Perhaps a monthly / yearly Version licencing with a monthly Card rebilling would be a step in that much more people could effort to use it faster.
Overall a great and stable Software ( Tested in Win7 Home Premium )

I am a big believer in free software but in this case there is no contest. This doeas correctly all the jobs it is supposed to be doing, and this is no small thing. For example, there are mpeg and mp4 files that I've tried to split with many other programs (MPEGVCR, TMPGENC etc), and only this would split them without the audio getting out of sync. Recommended.

I have been using this for years to edit recordings made with a Topfield PVR. Has worked flawlessly from the beginning. I also use it for editing other mpegs now as well. I occasionally use the built in DVD Authoring tool for burning programmes to DVD, which is a doddle (I use another authoring tool for more complex menu and layout authoring).
It is very hard to get money out of me for anything but I upgraded from VideoReDo Plus to the TV Suite simply because I wanted to support the author developing this further.
Top notch bit of kit!

VideoReDo TV Suite is the best piece of s/w I've bought and is cheap at twice the price. Quite easy to use, works exceptionally well, the support is responsive/listening/"supportive", the forums are active and well attended by support people and others who make kind suggestions.
Want to edit or play with video ... use this tool. It's being actively developed further, by the looks of the forums.

Great software. Fabulous support. Does pretty much what it claims it can - remove commercials, fast MPEG editor. But sneaky TV broadcasters appear to be modifying the way commercials are inserted into program material, ie, no or too few dark frames. The net effect is that removing commercials with software is, in my opinion, gradually getting less effective. Thus after VideoRedo TV Suite has scanned a recorded broadcast video file, manual touch-up is always necessary. But it is fast.
VRD can import DVD VOBs and turn them into editable MPEGs. Very handy for re-authoring home movies on DVD. Has a frame capture facility to create images for slideshows. VRD TVS can shrink large input program material (say 7Gb) to fit standard DVD but rendered result is not as good as say TMPGEnc. Simple to use authoring section. Love it.
Will say again: VRD support is excellent.

I had some HDTV Transport Streams(.ts) files, that had audio problems, and couldn't seek properly in any of my software players. I first tried MPEG2Repair, PVAStrumento, and ProjectX with no success.
The included "Quickstream fix" tool in VideoReDo, was the only tool that fixed my HDTV Transport Stream(.TS) files correctly, and also fixed the audio dropouts with no loss of sync. I also don't really care for the interface. TMPGENC MPEG Editor has a much better and faster interface for editing mpegs.

I also don't really care for the interface. TMPGENC MPEG Editor has a much better and faster interface for editing mpegs.

(Response to the chap who said VideoReDo doesn't work with TS files from the Humax PVR9200-T.) This is nonsense -- I use it almost exclusively with these files, and it edits them perfectly. I can only assume that he's using files from a Humax which hasn't had the latest OTA software update -- this sets the .ts file extension required by VideoReDo.

Been using VRD for about two years and it has not disappointed yet! Unlike the previous commentor I havd not found anything that it does not work on.
With so many different recording devices and methods I doubt very much if there is a software app that will work with everything.
Support at VRD is head and shoulders above the rest. Had the previous commentor worked with the VRD support team, my bet is that they would have made it work for his particular application.
Nice GUI, fast and great results.

There's a problem with this latest version (or with DGIndex 1.4.6/7) when converting transport streams to program streams - a lot of bad flag transitions end up occuring when the resulting mpg is parsed with DGIndex. This does not occur if you use DGIndex on the transport stream, or if you use DGIndex on an mpg created from the previous version of VideoRedo (2.1.2-417 is the previous version I had).

I was searching for an VOB file cutter to remove some bad capture from the beginning of a VOB file.
This utility turned up and it worked perfectly. No frills just quick edits and joins.
Fabulous utility for your video toolbox.

Itz worth buying this software. I bought sony DVD Handycam as i had booked a vacation to Orlando-Florida. U all know the bulk videos taken in Florida...As i'd to edit those videos and send it to India, I badly needed an editing software. I got Redo! It was EASY TO LEARN, EASY TO USE and VERY HANDY.
Itz worth buying...

A very nice piece of kit! This will fix stream errors in files like what is produced by the Liteon 5001 and other inexpensive DVD recorders when you try to rip the discs. Those files can't be processed even by the mighty Womble Mpeg Video Wizard. Videoredo will let you know though that you can save a restreamed copy of the file as an Mpeg. It took under 10 minutes to do this with my PIII 1GHz. That file is now compatible with all my other software including the authoring software TMPGEnc DVD Author and Womble Mpeg Video Wizard. Well done!

This is an excellent tool. I bought it for just one reason: to fix mpg files that cause problems in other editors like Womble. When I would have a problem, I would get A/V sync problems. But using the "QuickStream Fix" utility seems to fix these problems. I still use other editors for most of my editing because this tool lacks some of the more fancier features. But if you are looking for a tool which has frame accurate cutting, this is the tool for you. Their support is also very good.
Someone mentioned that they did not think it support AC-3 audio, but I happen to know it does because I have used it on mpeg's from commercial DVDs which almost always use AC-3 audio.
If you are looking for a tool to cut out commercials, or to edit commercial movies to make them more family friendly, this is probably the best tool available. If you want to do more than simple cuts, and don't mind spending a extra time learning about all the features, I would recommend Womble MPEG Video Wizard instead (or in addition to).

As a LONG-TIME fan of Womble MPEG2VCR it was hard to pry me away from it but I have to say, with no exaggeration, that VRD is awesome.
Ignoring the fact that it does edit MPEG2 with no sync problems its the little touches that make it so good. Authored a DVD ISO image and forgot whats on it? Drag into VRD and it opens the video. That is neat. DVB-T streams over DVD 8Mbs max? Just set at the level U need for compliance. Joining same resolution MPEGs but with diff bitrates. No problem.
And if U find a feature you need. Mail the author. He responds unlike "mr Womble".
The only possible criticism is that the interface is perhaps IMHO not as easy to pick up but it doesnt take long and you need more buttons etc for the extra features.
Oh did I mention Ad-Detective? Or DVR-MS support... theres loads more. This is worth being on any videophiles machine(s).
SUPERB!

I haven't actually bought this program as of yet.
But I rate it a ten because I know it would be worth it..
I had a couple of recordings from my DVB-T capture card that was totally broken.
No program was able to fix all errors in my stream.
I got a couple of billion errors while running them through ProjectX or PVAStrumento.
And afterwards there would either be synch-errors, or he would make a cut in the movie wherever there was a problem.
Running my stream in this excellent application fixes this problem just like that!
I load my stream here and cut out commercials etc and just save it as an mpg.
Then run the newly created mpg in ProjectX, and I will not get a single error and all works fine and synch is perfect!
Other than that this program is very easy to use and extremely powerful.
This is the ultimate application for cutting your mpg movies in.
The cutting is very accurate, like other mpeg-cutters aren't.
The only downside I can see is that it doesn't appear to support AC3 audio?
I'm not sure about this though, but it seems that way.
I just produces no audio in VideoReDo or the output file.
But I don't have so many AC3 audio-sources so this is well worth the buy for me when my trial-version has expired.
One word: EXCELLENT!

This is the best mpeg2 editing software. I've tried just about everything else out there, from freeware to expensive trialware, and nothing works as well and as robustly as this (if indeed anything else works *at all*, for some operations). If you want to cut or join mpegs or DVD vobs without re-encoding, at either the frame-level or GOP-level, this is it.
It also has the best user interface I've seen. It's Fisher-Price ugly, but it works really well. You can actually see exactly which frame you are on, and whether it is an I-frame or not. And you can navigate frame-by-frame or GOP-by-GOP if you wish. For example, I've configured in my options to have arrow keys move by GOPs, and shift-arrow keys move by frames.
There are a couple bugs still in the software, but the devs are very active on their message board and quickly fix bugs uncovered by users. I wish other vendors had this kind of open-minded support.

I have dropped a point for the cartoony style, but apart from that a highly recommended video tool.

This software is a required app for anyone doing video cutting whether it be from a MPEG2 capture card (WinTV PVR 250/350 for example) or for people that are messing with DVB streams. This is the ONLY app that can properly handle cutting of DVB streams, and in general is a joy to use. Very simple and well worth the money. Everything else is just junk after you try this program. It seems that the so called "professionals" in video (Pinnicle, Adobe, Ulead, etc) need to take some serious lessons from the author of this app..

VideoReDo is wonderful! One of the best software investments that I have ever made. I've been using version 1.6 for about 9 months and recently upgraded to version 2.1. It's even better. VideoReDo makes editing out commercials fast and easy. With version 2.1, ad removal is virtually automatic. Also, I often edit files produced from old VHS tapes and they can have "bad spots." With v 2.1, it's even easier to fix this because you can see a graphic of the audio stream along with the picture, making it easy to see how a cut is going to affect sound. I also love the new cut preview mode, which is a big time saver. In addition, the audio sync tools (both manual and automatic) work wonderfully.
This software is very easy to use and yet very powerful. I've used it on mpeg files from over 500 TV shows. I use it on a daily basis and have never regretted buying it. For the one time that I had a problem, the author replied immediately to my post of the VideoReDo website's message board and told me exactly how to fix the problem.

Really super impressed with this product. I have a ton of video that I recorded using PowerVCR II, and found out about its poor ability to deal with missing frames. With this tool, I can pass my video (in batches) through their "Quickstream Fix" function and all my audio sync issues are removed. The tool removes the areas where there is audio, but no accompanying video. My areas like this are small (maybe 30 frames/hour), so the removal isn�t noticeable, and my audio comes back into perfect sync rather than slowly slipping over time. I am quite impressed with this product, and the company behind it. During my trial period, I received fast email support with very understanding and knowledgeable people. These people have really done their homework.

Video editing and audio synchronization adjustment in the same package - amazing. Created perfect Seinfeld and M*A*S*H DVDs from VideoRedo outputed files (MyDVD and Nero authoring).
I can not comment on tech support at this time because I have never had a problem with this product. Do not waste your time with any similar type mpeg editor.
Just a happy customer, for once...

This software saved me many hours of frustration and I love it! I bought a DVD Xpress encoder to just dump out some old home movies that were about 15 years old to my computer. My plan was to make DVDs out of them, a simple idea with what I thought would be all the tools needed. When I burned my videos I was noticing that the audio was losing sync. I searched around and found that dropped frames would be the issue. Thought that was odd since I have a P4 2.6 with a gig of ram but quickly turned to the old VHS tapes as the problem. I ran my video through MPEG Wizard, Tmpgenc's mpeg tools... everything I could think of trying to get audio back in sync. I was trying any program people would mention and going through a lot of hassle. I didn't want to have to replay the tapes any more than once and was getting worried.
Finally I saw people talking about this program Videoredo. I thought what the heck, at this point I would do anything to get moving on this project. The trial limits your output to 30 mins but it was more than enough to sell me on the program. Upon completion of the output it told me there were quite a few frames that were out of sync and that it fixed it. This was in line with what people were saying about this program and it's ability to clean up files.
When I authored and burned the disc I kept my fingers crossed hoping that finally I had found the cure to all my problems. And when played back on my TV the audio was perfectly synced. Before the end of the disc I was on DRD's site purchasing the software. Not only did I get a tool to clean up the old video files, I got an MPEG editor too. And all for only 50 bucks.
The purchasing process is very quick and simple. I paid for the program and within ten minutes I had my key and was saving the full two hour file without a problem. It was really a simple and painless process. I'm a person that if I'm going to buy something I want it now and that's what they delivered. I was very pleased with my purchase all around.
Now some may say that this software is too expensive for what it does. I tell you it's the perfect price for saving your time without worrying about reburning DVDs over and over trying to get the audio in sync or messing around with waiting for some other editor to reencode the entire file all over again because you cut out 30 seconds here and there.
To put it plain and simple: if you want to work with MPEG files, this is the software to use. Forget everything else, this program did what it was suppose to and did it quick and without fuss. The interface may look odd at first but spend just five minutes working with it and you realize it's set up for editing in mind. You can change how it works and the author is always listening if you have problems or suggestions.
Give it a try and I'm sure you'll love it like I do. After over 16 hours of footage and 5 dvds later I can tell you this program is what saved my project and really made it possible in the end. Without it I was stuck with PCM for audio as it was the only way to keep the audio in sync but lost a lot of space on the disc. Ran it through videoredo and was able to reencode the audio to AC3 without a problem.
This program really is a miracle. Worth every penny.

Speed of conversion to MPEG format is excellent and it maintains 5.1 Audio as well but this software can not generate any VOB + IFO files needed for DVD Players!!
How can you convert these MPEG videos to VOB + IFO while maintaining 5.1 Audio?
My Nero Vision Express downgrades everything to AC3 Stereo only and does not accept MPEG only!!!
What could be a good DVD Authoring software (capable of keeping AC3 5.1 audio) working with this software?

After running off numerous VHS home movies & almost having to watch them all in real time to sort and capture in "categories" with my capture software, I found this tool which enabled me to capture the whole 3 hours (with other software)& then "edit" with videoredo.
As well as just highlight & "save as a new file", I can highlight several "scenes" all over the 3hrs & save as one continious scene, ready to throw into the dvd author software.
The trial went for ages & enabled me to do heaps of work & I was so impressed I paid my $. (I went through similar tools,freeware & trials, but to me they couldnt match the whole functionality, ie real time viewing)

I tried to cut commercials out of my Hauppauge PVR 350 captures with both nanoEdit and MPEG-VCR. nanoEdit was inaccurate and gave audio sync problems when trying to merge files. MPEG-VCR always gave audio sync problems. The greater the number of cuts, the worse the problem. I have now processed well over 15 hours of captures with Video Redo and have perfect results. I have cut commercials and merged files with frame accuracy and no sync problems, then burned the result with Ulead MF 3. The more I use it, the more I like it. I only have a slight issue with the price - $50 strikes me as being a little high for the simple tasks I want to perform. Then again, as the previous poster mentioned, it is rare to find PC software that actually works and is well supported. And it is cheaper than MPEG-VCR which didn't work for me.

Most of the time when I buy software, I feel ripped off. With VideoReDo, I feel like I got my money's worth and then some. VideoReDo is easy to use. With the customizable keyboard navigation, I seldom use the mouse when editing. The support is amazing and the author is very open to feature suggestions from the users.
Before I found VideoReDo, I could not capture from VHS with my Hauppauge PVR-250 and author a DVD with the audio in sync. Now it is no problem. This is GREAT software and I am a very satisfied customer.
By the way MPEG1 editing is in beta and should be in the next release, which is due very soon.

I love it when a tool does exactly what it should do. With VideoReDo I'm able to easily edit VRO files off my DVD Recorder and the garbled MPEG2 files from my Dish DVR. This has been the only tool that I've used so far that allows me to edit my Dish DVR video files and keep the audio in sync. The author is very responsive to issues, and the effort put into the development of this editor make it worth every penny. If you've been looking for a good MPEG editor, look no further than this package.

IF you work with mpeg video u need this prog. Works with delivers eactly what it says. It cuts eactly where u want no need to worry about I and P Frames, added bonus is that it works with ac3 audio which is great since all my caps are done using ac3 audio. I've been waiting a long time for an app of this quality.

I have been remiss in not posting this sooner. This is an outstanding program. The author's support is second to none and he constantly revises upgrades to meet the needs of some of the more tricky MPEG problems. HIGHLY recommended.

I acknowledge the positives of the former reviewers here. Looks simple but works like an oiled tool. Very clever, settable interface and cuts/joins your MPEG's mocking all those who say that may only be done right in AVI's. Makes very reliable stuff for DVDLab and Ulead's DVDMF 3 (the last one creates immediate errors in cutting/joining mpeg). I'm gonna buy it..

Extremly fast, reliable and easy to use editor. I does a great job in editing my pvr 250/350 mpegs.
And as mentioned before, the service is great. Very fast response on the forum.

This is the best editor for problem captured files, period! No other editor out there can keep files with lots of dropped frames in sync like this software is able to.

If you are looking for an mpeg editor that WORKS, look no further. I have messed around with a lot programs to edit mpegs. They all either suck completely or fail in some particular way (A/V sync problem, taking too long to encode,..)
This program does what is says. It's VERY fast, and very easy to use. Way to go guys.

I've been testing this for a couple of days. My tests are fairly limited since I'm only working with SVCD files.
The program did exactly what it was supposed to do with most of the files I use. I ran into a strange "video ring" error with the output from EditStudio/MpegXS. I posted a question on VideoReDo's support page and got a nearly instant response.
We went back and forth a couple of times: more information on the source and sending a copy of the offending file. Dan, at DRDSystems, kept me informed and even appologized when he didn't respond the same day to one message. I got a new test build last night and it's perfect. Super-fast cuts or trims. The biggest file I'm using is about 15 minutes and it takes less than one minute to output the new file.
All my players and VCD authoring tools accept the output. Haven't had any audio go out of synch (all the other native Mpeg2 tools I tried did).
At first I didn't like how you move around in the file. But then I used the preferences settings to redefine the defaults and set the mouse-wheel for "frame at a time." Much better.
A great tool for all those quick fixes.

Wow!
Amazing program! Best editor for MPEG2 files period!
Everything in PERFECT sync. Blazingly fast at editing out commercials, and DOES NOT re-multiplex the files so saving an edited file happens in a few minutes (40 min. file takes about 3 mins.)
If you have a Hauppauge PVR 250, this is THE program to own.
Don't know what the first guy's problem is, but if he goes to the forum (link from videoredo.com), I'm sure he will get his problem resolved instead of complaining about it here.
The developer is, hands down, a company that is all about support.

I liked this tool so well, I bought it before the 21-day trial was over. It is so easy to use that I didn't have to read the help file. The home Web site had additional tips and hints, as well.
I especially liked the "skip ahead by 2 minutes" feature and using the mouse thumbwheel to advance in 1-second intervals, as well as rewinding by seconds or minutes.
The 1.5.200 version has good compatibility with XP (can't say how it works for Windows 98 users like the previous poster).
Files produced were MPEG-2 compliant, and were truly trimmed and ready for output. Editing files were easier and more exact than TMPGenc DVD Author's "kinda trimmed" files.
I haven't uncovered any flaws, so I give it my highest rating.

I have been using a trial version since it was released. I have had absolutely NO problems with the program.
Audio remains in sync unlike almost every other product I have tried. User Interface makes it much easier to use than Womble. File output is super fast without re-rendering. DVDs that are authored with the output files are perfect. I am buying VideoReDo when my trial runs out.
THIS PRODUCT DELIVERS ON WHAT IT PROMISES!!!!!
If anyone else experiences problems, VideoReDo maintains several support options that are available EVEN TO TRIAL USERS at http://www.drdsystems.com/VideoReDo/support.htm
