Max DVD to Mpeg Converter

Max DVD to Mpeg Converter is an application designed to help you backup your DVD movies by encoding them to the MPEG format (NTSC or PAL, VCD or SVCD).

The interface of the program is based on a standard window. You can load a DVD movie by selecting its source from a list or by using the folder view. Unfortunately, you cannot work with multiple DVD videos in a single session.

The file list lets you find out some details on the respective movie. These include the duration, resolution, aspect ratio, along with start and end time (if you plan to cut clips). If you are satisfied with the default settings, then all you have to do is establish the output directory and profile, in order to proceed with the encoding task.

Otherwise, you can preview clips in a built-in media player and trim them by marking the start and end position. It is possible to convert multiple selections from the same DVD.

You can select the audio language and subtitle track, as well as create a new output profile by selecting the audio and video codec, bit rate, resolution, frames per seconds and frequency.

In the "Options" area you can change the default output directory, as well as set Max DVD to Mpeg Converter to automatically add DVD titles to the job list and to generate information for each output item, as well as to open the output directory or to power off the computer when the task is done.

The DVD processing tool quickly finishes a task while using a moderate amount of CPU and system memory. Max DVD to Mpeg Converter has a good response time and outputs a good image and sound quality. Unfortunately, you cannot specify the thread priority or minimize the app to the system tray. The interface is outdated.
