When i've opted for DVD9 it generally produces files totalling 5 or 6GB - it never gets past 6.5GB. Nevertheless, i've recently tried this app for converting a few HD MKVs to DVD. Out of the various apps i've used, this one produces by far the best quality image. The only issue I have is that on about 30% of the DVDs there is a slight, and for the most part, imperceptible stutter. It doesn't matter what bitrate or FPS are chosen. It's annoying because otherwise the image is great. As it only happens with about a third of my MKVs, i'm hoping it is a bug they will manage to fix soon.

I've been using this app for quite a few years and having nothing but high praise for its ease of use and quality, that being said, the last few revisions have been quite odd in it changes they've introduced...mainly with the output sizing...i can remember last summer using this app on a 5 gb mkv and setting it to a custom 4478mb's and it getting very close after finishing, like 4.2...which i'm ok with...i'm doing a mkv at the moment thats 6.6 gb's in size and regardless of the custom size setting or setting it to dvd5, its produces a file size ridiculously smaller than it needs to be...this title i'm doing is 1hr and 55mns long and the output size comes out to 2.6gb's. I can set it to slow, medium or high and cant get past 2.6gb's, so i thought i'd first go to VSO's site and see if others were having the same issue. Ofcourse others were but the only answer to the issue is that particular way of encoding is equal in quality to filling out a dvd5 so theres no use to bother posting or asking why this change has been implemented. The first thing that came to my mind is that the creators of Dvd Shrink/Nero Recode, Dvd Rebuilder, DvdFab, Dvd2One and others apps similar that hit the size mark or get close, must all be wrong or they don't have a clue about encoding. I'm guessing this is probably incorrect cause the apps are still being used and are quite popular and the results speak for themselves. Also, why wouldn't have Hollywood or companies that do encoding not go for the same type of encoding theory that VSO does and cram a trilogy of titles onto 1 dvd9 to save space and money? There's an answer to that question though, it's because the quality isnt as good. VSO, please fix this and make it to were your customers actually get close to what they want, a title that's close to a size they want...not 40 to 50% off the mark...If not, why not just get rid of the "Custom" size feature..its useless and doesn't work to begin with(it use to)

These comments apply mostly to the new v. 4. (I started a while back with late v. 2, and went through many v. 3 releases.) Some of the new v. 4 features seem intriguing, and may prove to be quite good and important improvements over time. But, despite trying to keep up with the changelogs, I've always noted *substantial* reliability differences between the versions I've installed. Some of them have definitely worked a lot better for me than others. It's early yet, but so far I'm getting plenty of failures with v. 4: during conversion, the frame progress indicator drops dead, because CX2D has locked up; have to kill it with Task Manager. Don't tell me it's overheating, or a hardware problem: Like Hell it Is ! Not if I can *immediately* turn around and convert / burn the **exact same selection of clips** using v. 3.6.4.158, which has been one of the more stable, reliable 3.x versions I've used, so I'm going to keep it around as an option. (I had similar experiences in the past, as between v. 2x and some of the 3.x versions. Given that inconsistency, problems have to come down to the software. Ignore my H/W profile info, which is out of date.) There are more variables to sort through now with v. 4, such as filter choice, 1-pass vs. 2-pass, and I can't say yet how they may factor in with these conversion failures. With various versions, there has also been a certain incidence of burn failures, after a successful conversion, but in that case I have reason to suspect that the burner is going to need replacement in due course. But I do hope they get the v. 4 bugs ironed out, as this is one of my favorite programs !

Try HQ in Encoding options. I always get a filesize > 4 GB

Choosing DVD5 and expecting to get a 4.3 gig project size has been something I stopped expecting. I now just choose DVD9 and if it is bigger than 4.3 GB ... I use DVDRB Pro to shrink it down in size.

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?

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 ...
