Great output, but can not save projects
arnybarnes2March 18, 2012
Pros
Converted several types of High Def media with ease, speed, and reliability
Cons
Can not save your projects! Imagine spending an hour building a Blu Ray with 100 movie clips, arranging the order, titles, fonts, etc. Once you burn your disc and close the app, all that info is gone!!
Summary
Great if you occasionally burn a blue ray with 1-3 movies, but lame if you need to make one several small clips, since you can not save your project data.
Does everything you need for a great price
efox31August 24, 2011
Pros
Nice simple GUI, customizable output size and quality, option to design your own menus (or use a number of installed templates). Ability to burn your results, in blu-ray quality, to a standard DVD.
Cons
High CPU usage when converting files
Summary
The one word I would use to describe all of Sothink's products (I also use their DVD Ripper and Video Converter) is reliability: they handle any file you throw at them and the output quality is always superb. I must have tried dozens of video rippers/burners/converters over the years but these are the programs I always use now. My last project failed in Nero (after many hours of processing!) but worked perfectly with this program. For the price, you can't go wrong.
Unable to test trial version
frankthetank22July 26, 2011
Pros
Looks like a simple interface
Cons
You have to buy it before you can test fully.
Summary
The trial version isn't only time-limited, it also only allows you to burn 5 minutes of video. You don't know this until you go through the trouble of downloading, installing, and then trying to test it by recording your first video. Considering the fact that most video software programs have problems when converting or burning large video files, the 5-minute limit seems ridiculous. You will not be able to fully test this program unless you pay for it first. Don't waste time downloading/installing.
good intentions yet extremely buggy
forenzsickMay 25, 2011
Pros
the interface is easy to use and understand.
Cons
despite meeting system requirments getting the program to run on windows 7 is touch n go. there are major compatability issues, some with audio conversion [ specifically ac-3 ] some with drive and media recognition and very poor customer support.
Summary
Avoid this program at this stage in its development, its verry buggy. i tried it on various systems running different os and memory configurations and had no success what so ever. I did comparisons with other software that made similar claims and had success so i feel i was able to form a true un biased opinion. the unfortunate side to this is the poor customer support- slow response times, carelessness and limited options can be frustrating. there is nothing to bridge this gap so to be "stuck" with useless software does nothing for anyone.
Great for 1080p material but not for 1080i material.
ntf41January 6, 2011
Pros
Has all the features required to burn blu rays for play back on equipment using the Panasonic AVCHD standard.
Cons
Fails when the material to be converted and burned is of TV standard (1920*1080i @ 60fps), very bad artifax most of the time on horizontal lines.
Summary
Not as I expected
twistedbingSeptember 20, 2010
Pros
There are no pros to this stupid exe.
Cons
pop out "using your favorite burner" after conversion. Doesn't this software suppose to do the next?
Summary
don't bother to try
