Best converter software?

I have been experimenting with a couple different trial version converters. First was cucusoft, which worked, but it took about 6 hours to convert one movie. The second was pq DVD which only lets you do 5 to 10 mins at a time, so I dont know how long that will take. The last one that I tried was the super DVD to Ipod converter. I downloaded it 4 different times and kept getting errors, so I haven't been able to even try that one. I know alot of the slow converstion times has to do with my computer, but I was wondering what the average conversion time is and what everybody else is using.
Thanks!

I've been using the one from cucusoft.com that I purchased. I've done 18 so far. Some are tv dvd's so I've done episodes and others are movies. I've left everything at default except crop mode I changed to stretch to fit so it would be full screen, not widescreen. a 45 min episode takes aprox 40 min and a hour and 38 min movie took an hour and 25 min. But it also depends on your PC. Mine is one year old and its not top of the line. All have been converted perfectly so I'm very very happy with the program. Its going to depend on what works for you and your computer.

  • Best Video Converter Software

    Hi,
    I would like to know which is the best video converter software for my MBP.
    the software should convert files very quickly, most software takes too much time.
    So, please help me to identify one.
    Thanks.

    Handbrake is a good program, handles most formats and will output files compatible with many devices
    As to speed: this is down to CPU and RAM.

  • What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

    What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X?  Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

    Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
    I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle.  That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
    Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc.  Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
    The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording.  The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
    Quality?  Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes.  I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better.  I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
    There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
    Hope that helps.

  • What is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

    what is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

    There is no best per se.  All converter software does the same thing.....convert files. 
    Some are very user friendly, high tech or simple to use.  You will need to read the reviews of the ones that interest you the most. 
    I personally use several.....VidConvert, Voltaic, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate.

  • Best Ripping software for Apple TV

    What is the best ripping software for Apple TV. I had Handbrake that I've used to rip DVDs to put into iTunes. Right now I don't have ATV but I will be getting it soon. Should this do the trick? or is there a better program that has better results?

    I've used the AppleTV setting to rip/convert a bunch of movies, and they look pretty great. The default setting is 2500 for Apple TV in Handbrake. If you watch a lot of foreign movies like I do, remember to check the audio & sub-title sections, to make sure they're set correctly, or you'll have a lot of movies that have the director giving his commentary! (I learned that the hard way, and had to re-convert about 15 movies!)

  • I'm traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter to use and how will this effect my computer?

    I"m traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter and how will this effect my computer over time?

    Right! Our regular power bricks cover the gamut of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz that will take care of everything save, say, a failing portable generator chugging in the tip of the Alps...
    And you can drink the Apple koolaid and purchase the Official $40 Apple Adapter Kit ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ ) that will look chic and color matched to your brick, or do as Kappy says and get a regular equivalent from the nearest Radio Shack

    To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Using PDF Converter Software available in desktop

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    we have a PDF converter software which converts the Selected Word Document in to PDF format
    This happens this way when we try to Print the word file instead of selecting the Printer we select the PDF converter Software icon displayed at Printer list menu.
    the Word is converted to PDF at the Desired Location choosen.
    Can i make use of this Software to Convert Released Documents to PDF Automatically.
    or the Conversion server is required to be installed,
    if it is possible please brief up the Steps
    Thanks and Regards
    Shanti

    Hi Shanti,
    i guess you need to install a conversion server and define converetr and conversions in order to do automatic conversion during a status change of a dir.
    We also do an office to pdf conversion. Unfortunately i found no (freeware) pdf converter available that has no screen entries necessary, which means printing in the background is not possible. So we use acrobat writer/distiller in order to accomplish this task. You need to do some vb scripting to open up the office file, change the printer to the pdf printer and print the file. Unfortunately the vbs code is of course different for word, excel, powerpoint. There is a nice article out there for word to pdf conversion http://www.suodenjoki.dk/us/productions/articles/word2pdf.htm . As you can read in the article you don't need the distiller anymore if you have a word 2007 which can write directly a pdf file.
