Does it work, or is it me, or Vista? Despite latest version (like about 2 weeks old) 1/ On start up i get lot stuff about not being in the admin mode & not working correctly 2/ When i try to close it down it tells me it 'can't write some file' - to which i would have to say 'so what! - you don't work anyway so just close' - but it doesn't - if i close it with task manager it won't restart and only total reboot works 3/ Screen very confusing and lot of advanced settings that should be tucked away some where for people that know what they are 4/ It doesn't even seem to adopt any default settings for people who don't know how many bits per second should be in the video (like me) tried to convert a simple .mpeg video (which it doesn't even recognise - so i had to rename it .mpg) into .mp4 (which works on my mobile) - it converted it to .mpeg ???????? - which obviously doesn't work 4/ Tried to convert lots other files (originally got it because it claims to convert .mkv video) It hasn't converted a single file correctly OK it's free - but so is the flu - and i don't want that either Should i persist or is this just a big pile of poop?
Sounds like it's a bit buggy, as you've probably gathered. Why not just downgrade to a more stable version? Like you said, it's only two weeks old...
thing is the older version was the same - and the new version is supposed to be 'Vista compatable' - but it isn't What video conversion software do you use? I'm actually thinking about buying AVS Video Convertor
If you don't want to pay for ConvertxtoDVD, there is the free DVD Flick which does a great job. http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/dvd-flick-guide.html Internet Video Converter is another application that can convert from/to many video formats: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multim...r-DIVX-Related/Internet-Video-Converter.shtml
@rav009 I've had great success with DVD Flick-quality, subtitles, speed(for me is faster than latest Nero Vision 4). Have not personally tried Internet Video Converter, as I only convert from different formats to DVD. It is however supposed to be quite versatile, convert to iPod/PSP compatible video...
