Try selecting a preferred file size under the encoding tab "custom"

Sandy B, "The answer is "This is ALWAYS the result of a veriable bitrate as opposed to a fixed bitrate." Since we do not get to choose variable or constant within ConvertX, I guess that's not the answer, huh?

The answer is "This is ALWAYS the result of a veriable bitrate as opposed to a fixed bitrate.

I have to agree also with the last 2 commenters, the seemingly random output file sizes and the lack of a fixed output to disc size option is a huge minus, ie: one movie into 4.7gig highest possible quality, not as a 2.3gig unknown bitrate output etc. this software is constantly being updated so maybe will see some effort into this soon.

Just to piggyback on Cosmo's comments -- me too! :-) All version 3s tend to give strange output size results. Often, I get 2-hour-plus movies authored to a size of 2.5 gigs, 2.3 gigs, 2.9 etc. How come??

I have used this since version 0.xx. Version 3 is broadly faster than older versions and offers support for Core 2 Quad processors that Version 2 did not. There is one problem that seems to be inherent to v3 and that is the extreme data compression it prefers to use. For example, I had a video of about 105 minutes duration which I expected to fill a standard single layer DVD. What I got was a set of files totalling 1.1 GB. I tried the same conversion with DVD Flick and it produced a full 4.3 GB with seemingly better quality. Version 2 always produced output of 3.9 GB or more, sometimes admittedly 4.4 GB or so. I can only assume that lower output sizes also mean reduced quality. No one else seems to have commented on this and I know the settings I use were those previously used in V2.

Great utility. Recently used it to add 99 family videos with a functional menu. Probably use this app more than anything else on my computer!

To the previous poster. Have you tried VOB2MPG to convert VOB files to MPG2. Very fast.

|||||||||||||||
A great program. I use it for 95% of my work only resorting to DVDLab when I need to produce more complex menus for special events. Another use I use VSO ConvertXtoDVD is a little unorthodox but works a treat as a file conversion program. Like many I had a clutter of video format conversion programs on my computer along with the usual codec clashes and issues. So if I am making a video compile from a range of sources I run each file type first through ConvertXtoDVD and end up with a standard collection of VOB files. I use these in my editing program Womble, do the editing and spit out a MPEG2 DVD conforming file and then make the DVD using ConvertXtoDVD. Womble merely does a stream copy making the whole process quite quick. I guess it would be good if you could get VSO ConvertXtoDVD simply make a MPEG2 file from the same range of formats it accepts now for DVD authoring but it is so quick I'm happy to work with VOB's anyway.. I love it!!

@mathesar: Actually, that's a confirmed bug in 3.5.?. Check VSO's official CXTD forum. (The fact that it was about twice as slow and you/many assumed it was "better quality" or two-pass was implemented is kinda funny/sad, actually.)

Excellent program for converting *.* to DVD, Only minor complaint is the overall encode speed has dropped a lot with recent versions. Perhaps this is a good thing? (Better quality)

We've been waiting for those functions since they first posted beta images of v3.xx and they showed the option of editing the colours, gamma, contrast, etc. We are still waiting ..... As for 2-pass encoding its been explained by the authors that in their opinion it wouldn't make any difference to the overall quality, nor would it make any difference adding the ability to use external encoders to the final quality either (like HCEnc), or making full use of multi-core processors, or adding full batch conversion of multiple files I've asked about using AviSynth which would open up massive possabilities, but just get 'its supported'. No its not, not so you can actually use the power of avisynth
|
|||||||||||||||
Regarding the saturation, contrast, hue, etc. capability, I would be all for it myself. It would probably drive up the price a bit and certainly the encoding time, but I'd be willing to pay more and wait a bit longer also.
|
|||||||||||||||
What would really make this app perfect is the addition of tweaks that allow one to change brightness, contrast, gamma, hue and saturation.
|
|||||||||||||||
Well im REALLY happy i got a encoding speed of 250-450 fps the new intel i7 processor is a BEAST, i've 4 gigs of ram (DDR3)
|
|||||||||||||||
Maybe the slow down has something to do with the the following two areas updated in this release: - Prepare the engine for 2 pass encoding - Prepare engine to limit the number of cores used during image resizing process

Actually v3.50 is about ~50% slower than 3.48. I've posted my logs on their form.

Beautiful piece of work, but it is me, or is version 3.5 a LOT slower than the earlier Version 3s?

Simply the best. Don't believe me, believe every bootlegger from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires: In both places I bought illegal DVD's with the typical ConvertXtoDVD menus. There are some drawbacks. Yes, there's no fancy, adjustable menus, and importing some sorta chapter list would be nice, but that's not their target audience. If you want something that is FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, yet does the job, get this one. If you want art, or whatever, go somewhere else. As far as the money problem goes, I suggest asking some teenboy how he solves that, they're creative ...

The best DIVX/AVI converter softeware I have encounterd. Add menus, music, subtitles with ease. Please note their is an entirely different user experience for those using trial versions of this software. So do your homework ask around and make the purchase like I did. This software allows you to convert multiple video formats to DVD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

This will convert many things very fast and at good quality, sometimes best quality out of a bunch of other converters I've tried. Now for the bad... And yes there is a lot of bad, I'm trying to be as honest as I can be - I'm no brainwashed fanboy of anything. The UI is one of the worst I've ever encountered, it's definitely not for the novice... Dropdown lists with the + and - over on the side = not very friendly. The menus aren't too bad for generic templates but there's not much customizing you can do with them. The preview window is a joke and the timecode displayed is wrong almost all the time which leads me to my next discovery. Creating chapter points is probably the most difficult part, and I'll explain... Any movie lover isn't going ot accept the "insert chapter at every X amount of time" because then you get chapter points in the middle of great scenes. Ok, so that means you just have to adjust them to be in the spots you want, right? Match up the mark to the frame in the video preview, right??? WRONG. Sure, it lets you do that, but what's the end result? Chapter points in the wrong places. It seems that Convertxtodvd has a problem translating the timecode of the movie - you can slide to a certain spot in the movie and note the movie time at that spot, but in reality it's wrong if you check it with a media player (I use VLC and WMP11). So, it's virtually impossible to set chapters at the exact places you want, they seem to always start 5-10 seconds ahead of where they should be. There's not even an option to IMPORT a chapter list. You can manually edit chapter points by entering the time, but again... the program is retarded at timecodes. Ok, wow this is just unreal... While writing this comment I opened up the program and loaded a movie project that's already been converted just to recheck things. I remember the exact movie frames for the chapter points that I had set and now when I look at each one they have been moved back 10 seconds. This program just has no clue how to keep track of the timecode of movies, I've done 4 movies so far. (Try is yourself, set some chapter points, save your project, close it, reopen it and look at where the chapter points are!) If you're looking to just encode movies at great quality really fast and have absolutely no interest in the fine details like correct chapter points or a fancy menu, then this is definitely for you. Oh yeah, and if you've got the time to fool with the insane UI.

too bad that this software steals from the ffmpeg project, i highly recommend that people don't support these thieves by using or purchasing their software: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/shame.html

I think this is the bestest & easiest software out there for conversion of ANYTHING to DVD format. It has an edge on the freeware in various ways (not knocking the freeware out there). But for drag'n'drop simplicity, and for reassurance of decent quality, you can't go wrong. Plus it is continually developed & improved & tweaked. Well worth my money if you ask me.

Fantastic tool. Converts just abotu anything to an NTSC or PAL DVD and does the authoring (creates menues from several template options). It even burns the results to a disc for you automatically. Highly recommeded!

I've dabbled for several years in video, lately playing with Virtualdub to add subtitles. I reached an impass using free programs when trying to add the subs to anything that wasn't an avi file. However, this program appeared to handle a slew of file types to add the subs. After ripping the main movie from a DVD yesterday I was able to add the subtitle file (.srt) to the .vob main movie file (s) without any problem at all. Additionally the program allows one to change the properties of the subtitle file to change color, size, line spacing and more. It was easy to do all this from the novice standpoint.
