There is no mention at this time on how much this new software costs. As soon as I find out, I will post it.

 

Thanks for letting us know Dialysis.

I'll be downloading this when i get home. I want to play around with it some.

 

It's got some bugs I'm going to report right now. There will be many updates on this one.

 

So you've been playing with already?

I'll definately mess with it this weekend. Probably end up reporting the same bugs you find. Fengtao and Ting are usually pretty quick about getting things updated once they're alerted.

 

Alright!! A new toy for me to play with when I get home. Can't wait to try this one out once I get home from work.

 

Anybody else ever hear of Magic Video Converter? I've been playing with this for about a month and it seems to work great.

VideoFab 1.0.1.0 (November 28, 2008)

First official version.

http://www.dvdfab.com/mlink/download.php?g=VIDEOFABCONVERTER

Now I need one of you guys to tell me what the difference is or the advantage is over the mobile option in DVDFab Platinum.
VideoFab- $39.99
Mobile Option- $19.99

 

VideoFab is supposed to convert files other than DVD files such as AVI or WMV to other formats.
At the moment I don't care for VideoFab. I feel that it needs a great deal of improvement and the price is ridiculous when there are freeware programs out there that do a much better job. Maybe in the future it will be a decent program.

 

At this point, i'm not real impressed with VideoFab either. My trial is only days away from expiration. I don't think at this point i'll be purchasing.

 

That was my feeling when they fiinally posted the price, but I thought that there may be something special about it that I was missing. I recently acquired a PS3 and so my interest in converting files has risen. Thanks for your thoughts guys.

 

For now I feel that they should concentrate on DVDFab. Lot's of issues there.

 

Agreed. Here lately it seems the updates are more geared towards little bugs than cracking newer encryptions.

 

I am having problems using Videofab to convert M2TS files to MKV files to play on my eva8000.
When trying to convert a file it produces the vido ok, however, there is no sound.
Mediainfo reports the following:

Does anyone know whats wrong?
Anyone know any better software to convert Bluray to MKV files? Bitrate needs to be under 8000kbs after the conversion.

Thanks for your help
