Softpedia Editor's Review for DVDx
|
An easy to use conversion tool
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 3rd, 2011
Handling DVDs is mostly a professional job but DVDx attempts to make the whole thing a lot more appropriate for beginners and inexperienced users.
DVDx has been developed to serve as an easy to use conversion tool for those who want to create VCD, SVCD or DivX files from DVDs, and the interface it comes with really makes it very user friendly.
In fact, the whole interface is a single window that holds all the options you’ll need when working on a new project.
You can thus choose the output format, play a little bit with the video, audio or subtitle settings or pick the codecs from the same main window.
There is also a basic settings menu that hides only a few general and timing options, so you won’t get lost in details too much.
The developer claims the application works very fast so we wanted to find this out on the hard way. During our test however, everything went pretty smooth, which means the fact that DVDx does the reading and the decrypting processes at the same time with encoding really helps the app.
All in all, DVDx is a very user friendly application and the fact that it’s freeware makes it even greater. It works fast, so it’s able to complete the task in about a half an hour, which is absolutely amazing for this kind of software solution.
