Cinema Craft Encoder SP allows you to directly encode AVI, QuickTime and DV files into DVD or SVCD compliant MPEG-2 streams, or VCD MPEG-1 streams.

CCE is one of the fastest encoders on the market, in addition to which it provides the best quality, too -- you wouldn't expect any less from a software with a price tag of $2,000.00.

This is the trial version. It is limited in the following ways:
1. A logo will be inserted in the encoded stream.
2. Encoder control list cannot be saved or loaded.
3. Framewise setting is not available for Quality setting.

HC is a simple to use MPEG2 video encoder and is meant for creating MPEG2 video streams with a strong focus on DVD-compliancy. Input can be a d2v project or input using Avisynth. HC expects as input YUV-planes (YV12 color space 4:2:0). During the encoding process there are no color plane conversions, the encoder keeps the color planes in YV12 color space.

There's no fancy GUI, the input is controlled by a serie of commands in the file HC.ini. The encoder runs in a command prompt window, during the encoding process information is written in the command window.

Output is a regular m2v file which can be used directly in your favourite authoring program.

FixVTS is a very tiny tool that allows you to adjust your DVD files into better DVD compliance, so they can be opened in DVDShrink or VobBlanker. FixVTS does a similar job as what's called an IFOEdit Mock Strip, but only adjust as little information as possible in the VOB and IFO files to allow it to open in a other appication while keeping the DVD as original as possible.

You would use FixVTS if you messed up your DVD, for example by applying the wrong tool, or aborting in the middle of some processing, and the result can no longer be used. Another good use is for DVDs that have been authored with deliberate "errors" in the IFO or VOB files, such that they still play on your player, but won't open in DVD editing tools such as DVDShrink, VobBlanker and others.

VobBlanker is a tool that is able to blank, replace, cut and strip VTS video titles. It has some special features like reducing to still (with or without audio) the complete PGCs or single Cells.

VobBlanker needs a unencrypted backup of the DVD to be processed, then it uses the info stored in the IFOs to access the Cells inside the VOBs. When the VIDEO_TS.IFO file is selected, VobBlanker reads automatically all the IFOs in the same folder and stores all the required information into memory. Then you can configure how the DVD is going to be processed, which PGCs are going to be blanked, etc.

This is one of the must-have tools for all the guys who wish to backup their DVD movies to DVD-R or DVD+RW discs. IFOEdit allows users to parse VOB files, remove and add video/audio/subtitle streams to VOBs, create new IFO files, create DVD images and burn DVD-Rs. All within one little tool. Versions since 0.93 now also include world's first free DVD authoring suite that supports AC3 audio, subtitles and much, much more.

Please note that this version of IFOEdit doesn't work perfectly with Windows XP, so it is strongly recommended to use it with Win2k instead.
