By the way, the "Trim" time is set to start at 00:00:00 and end at 01:25:08. But the recording stops and the timer starts over at about 1:01:00. Bug? Please advise.

I have a DVD that I have ripped twice and it stopped at 61 minutes both times. In the preview window, the video continues to play but the time counter drops to 0:00 and begins again. The recording stops at that point. Is there a place where I must adjust the time length of the recording?

Thanks,

This program disabled my Roxio Audio Converter using Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem was resolved only after uninstalling PCHand software.

This is a complaint, one of your advertisements is for stopzilla a known rouge virus protection, please REMOVE IT, because it is very misleading

Thanks very much for this software. Installed with no problems on win 7 64-bit.
I used it to rip Shutter Island which previously mentioned programs, WinX DvD Ripper and DVD Fab, could not rip. I also tried DvD Decrypter and Shrink and those didn't work either.
Thank you very much GOTD and PCHand Software. Great Job.

Problems - will not do audio ! Left only video file. Tried on win & (2 stations) and XP. After convessions files do not include audio Converting HD ZI8 files (*mov) into mp4 (HD). Aimersoft ofered here earlier was doing this one without a problem but I've recently bought new computer and was left without a god converter. Would be uninstaling right now ( this is the only feature I would use). LOOKING FOR mov to mp4 converter ?
Converted with a sound to WMW....

Easy to use BUT( instaled on 2 Windows7 PC) Converting .mov files to HD MPEG-4 video( *.mpg4) and ther is no audio at all in the finished conversion. All properly set up but silent. Anyone encountered this problem ? Very disapointed with such a result. Anyone had this problem ? Almost ready to try on a 3 mPC with older Windows ( XP)

Wow! I haven't been able to convert any *.avi file to anything successfully. I even tried converting an avi file to another avi file and I only get audio. On all conversions I either get no video, speed-up audio or a some combination of failures. Glad I didn't pay for this!

I think you meant "latest" instead of "lastest", plus the reference to "(99 titles)" needs to be clarified since it could mean either that it is a limit to the number of copy-protected dvd's this program could be used with, or else that there is some list of this many copy-protected dvd's the program could be used with which list is not being disclosed. Either case implies a type of limitation akin to crippleware and so it may cause knowledgeable users to avoid a program with such limitations unless there is some fuller explanation of what the above phrase means.

Tried working with a blu-ray .m2ts file, converting it to another HD format. Through all attempts, the picture looked great, but in every single one the audio failed to synch.

The HELP files could be much better.

With all the PROFILE formats for video output for Iphone, Ipad, Blackberry, etc. it would be great if the HELP files included some explanation as to what changes in each output format.

Or are some of these outputs the same? And thus we don't have to make 30+ outputs if some of these are usable by various mobile devices.

Where is a detailed explanation of the output formats?

thumbs down for me tried converting Alice in Wonderland. Did not work movie is out of order, now my other dvd rippers do the same thing but they are out of date. For example WinX DVD Ripper, which i got here at GAOTD. My beef with this software is that it claims it does rip the newer dvd's which it does not. For me at least.. PCHand Media Converter Pro meet Revo Uninstaller

Not sure what the problem is, but everytime it starts to import a DVD, about 10 seconds into the process I get the dreaded "PC-Hand has encountered a problem and needs to close now...etc, etc..." message. After six attempts I said to heck with it and deleted it from my system. Bummer.

cool......i like it!

@ #5, you have to use the supplied email address in the readme, not your email address.

Runs well on a virtual XP Pro machine. A tad slow, but its handled everything I've thrown at it. Nice one GAOTD and thanks too PCHand Software.

Converted a 799 meg avi to mp4
The file was 850 megs after conversion to a smaller resolution.
Conversion took over a half hour to complete.
While the product works acceptably well, the results leave me underwhelmed.
Hopefully future releases will up conversion and improve compression.

I'm not too familiar with these programs: Does anyone know how this compares to the WinX DVD Ripper Platinum that has been offered on here in the past?

Thanks in advance!

thought this would be cool.... It did convert a copyrighted music video... but it will not play at all in media player and there is no sound when played through nero. What's up with that?

I may try a couple other files but there really isn't much in the way of options so hardly nothing I can do do sabotage it!

Downloaded seems to work really well. Easy to use, nice interface. No problems downloading and when it scanned did not stop or slow down my computer at all like Avast does. Score 9/10

it is good stuff, but convert to flv that video is too fast , it has no way to slow down on flv. Others are okay on speed.

Installed very easy on a XP 32-bit. Tried it on a episodic DVD that I thought would be cool to watch on my Blackberry. Had to think a little to figure it out that it didn't recognize the episodes until I checked the "Search all valid titles". After that I unchecked the titles I didn't want and left the one I did. Then I let it turn the crank and out popped a 212 MB mp4 file. I noticed it used an intermediate avi file during the rip process which was deleted after the conversion.

The program has a large selection of output video formats. Really handy to have program. Thanks GOTD!

Problem here - Win 7 64. Installed and registered, but when I start it up I get an error box that says "an unnamed file was not found." The program will still start up, but when I click on settings next to the profile box, to set the output mode, the program just hangs up.

Any ideas?

Tried to convert Amazon "Earth - Pole to Pole" 720p WMV file (DRM?) into several formats such as .avi, HD H.264 mp4, etc. Crashed on Win 7 Home Premium. FLV came out blank with some strange screeching noist at the start no video whatsoever. Unintalled!

No support for MKV files, no DivX (although it does have XviD) and limited to only 2000 kbps video bitrate which is not even high enough for DVD quality.

It does have a few nifty features such as pulling the title info - but it's not that accurate, finding several 4 second tracks that still need to be removed manually.

Very limited program and it's slower than most of the alternatives too. WinX DVD Ripper is still my ripping software of choice.

windows 7 32 bit registered fine, seems to run great. Just one question, though. What is it with media converters lately and not allowing you to resize the screen? They give you a little teeny tiny window that you are expected to see everything in, and don't let you resize it. Not just this app, but most of them I have seen lately. That "feature" sucks! That alone makes me want to not use this or other software with that "feature".

The best conversion software I've found is WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. No bricks, plus voice & video track perfectly together every time.

Great piece of software, just the thing for my media software collection works just like it says it does. Thnaks,

has any one noticed if you can convert flv to xvid or vice versa.or does it have a xvid or divx support?

If you like the chipmunks, you will love this software. Takes video and converts to MP4 file with unstable video and voice tracks that sound like the chipmunks. May have to play around with this to get it to work right!

I must add that you can trim the video, just right-click on file and there you can select Start Time and End Time.

It's very simple converter, with somehow standard options which have more accurate settings than average converters(for example you can type the desired resolution).

Anyway there is lack of advanced settings compared to Daniusoft converter for example (Daniusoft have also the option to trim the video, put watermark (text or image), picture corrections, apply various filters like b&w, old newspaper, etc.. and increase or decrease the audio volume.)

The conversion is extremely fast even on older pc, but the final quality is not very good. Specially on default settings the picture is blurred with annoying "bricks" all over. Increasing the bitrate and lowering the resolution brings much better results, excellent in some cases, but then the file size can be too big for web use for example (flv).

All in all a good converter if you have to do just a basic conversion and if the file size is not a concern. Worth a try for sure.

Installs with ease and file conversion speed is good as well.

Another nice GUI frontend for the MPlayer/MEncoder tools.
Extra points for PCHand for showing their original files and most of all for including the GPL license itself.

PCHand is even better then last weeks offer. This frontend can do more, and is even cheaper!
Good addition! I will keep it!

Converted an 80MB AVI file to iPod MP4. Result was a 320MB file - unecessarily large for an iPod in my opinion.

it could convert the latest movies DVD to my ipod.It helped me solve a big problem.

Will not register. Says invalid number.

Installs, registers, & loads OK on Win 7 x64. I haven't tried to convert anything.

this can convert HD video is very well
any time when I watch the films I only want to watch the HD
films also this can be store into ipod so I can converter any time any where
