Catalencoder

Catalencoder is a simple-to-use program that can convert your DVDs to DivX/XviD video files.

The interface of the program is standard and may appear a little cluttered at first glance.

You can import a DVD via the file browser only, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported.

The fastest way to proceed with the conversion process is by specifying the output destination and clicking a button.

But you can also configure settings regarding video (e.g. deinterlace, cropping, size) and audio (e.g. track, normalization). Plus, you can select the subtitle stream.

You can set the number of CDs and MB per CD, open and save scripts, view and edit DVD content, disable the single processor mode, as well as select the data, language, log, output and temporary directory.

You can enable the bit stream, switch to a different language for the interface, clear the temporary and output directory, view a summary, and more. The program requires a moderate amount of system resources and can take a long while to finish a task. But the image and sound of the output videos are very good.

The biggest problem of Catalencoder is the fact that it may get difficult to navigate through its features, since they are not well described in English. And there is no help file available. Nevertheless, Catalencoder get the job done and we recommend it to all users, mainly the experienced ones.
