Hey all,

The new and even better v2.5 of DVD Catalyst has just been released, very low price - no it's not free but for the small registration price you help support the author and he provides fantastic email/forum support should you ever have any questions or issues... and no I'm not affiliated with him, just a very happy customer!

Worst thing you can do is at least try the trial version - what I like best about this software is that it install NO CODECS onto your machine, it is completely clean - you can install it on a brand new empty windows and it will just work without any other 3rd-party stuff...

Forget boredom during long trips, watch high quality movies on the go. DVD Catalyst converts any DVD or video file for your Pocket PC (or iPod, PSP, Apple TV and more!). Watch in your devices best supported quality, and now it’s faster than ever!

DVD Catalyst is a desktop application for converting DVD's and video files to play on almost ANY device you can think of!

Don't like the in-flight movie? Are the kids tearing up the backseats? Read all the magazines in the waiting room? With DVD Catalyst you can bring your own movies and TV-shows with you so you don’t have to endure it anymore.

DVD Catalyst comes in two flavors, so you can pick the one that best fits your needs.

DVD Catalyst 2.5, winner of the Ipaq Choice Awards of 2006, and based on the Pocket PC Magazine 2005 Awards winner PocketDVD 2.0, offers a sophisticated interface to provide you access to all the options you can imagine to get the best possible quality video for your device, with advanced settings that you control.

DVD Catalyst GT 1.5, based on the advanced award winning DVD Catalyst 2.5 engine, but completely designed with ease of use and convenience in mind for those who like perfect results at the touch of a button.

Features (both):

* NEW! Conversion to Pocket PC/Windows Mobile formats are now up to 8 times faster than before. On a modern computer DVD Catalyst can convert a 2 hour, any region DVD movie to WMV format in less than half an hour. (note to previous users : Media Encoder 9 is no longer used for Pocket PC/Windows Mobile conversions making DVD Catalyst even easier to use than ever before)

* 7 Day Full Trial. Both DVD Catalyst versions have a 7 day trial. The files created with the trial versions are 100% identical to the files created with the purchased version. No great looking 5 minute clips, and then after purchase realizing that it crashes midway, or that the resulting file cannot fit onto your memory card. (note : both trial versions are separate, so you can use one for 7 days and then the other if you like).

* Full offline manual. The included manual contains a wealth of information in regards of all the options in DVD Catalyst, as well as in-depth documentation about video on mobile devices in general.

* DVD conversion. DVD Catalyst converts nearly all DVD's on the market (more than our competitors) and allows you to select the audio language, as well as include subtitles for your converted files.

* Video file conversion. DVD Catalyst can convert nearly all modern standard video file formats to a format into a type that can be displayed on your device. Even if your computer can not play the file, DVD Catalyst will in almost all instances be able to convert it anyway.

* Batch conversion. DVD Catalyst automatically recognizes if you have multiple DVD's in your computer, and also allows you to select numerous video files as well.

* All devices included. DVD Catalyst is the only application that supports almost any device capable of video playback. Besides Pocket PC's, it can create content for Handheld PC's, iPods, AppleTV, Palm/Treo devices, PSP, XBOX360, Zune, Creative Zen, Archos and a lot more! Best of all, no need to purchase the same program for a different device.

* Multiple Formats. For most devices, DVD Catalyst offers more then one file format. DVD Catalyst supports WMV7, 8 and 9 AVC (H264), XVID, DIVX4, DIVX5, 3GP and more.

* Fit to Screen (cropping). DVD Catalyst uses a sophisticated detection method to detect black borders, and offers you numerous options to remove them. Make widescreen movies appear in full screen on your device.

* Complete freedom in quality or file size settings. DVD Catalyst does not use fixed profiles for quality settings. The settings for each individual device are completely adjustable for your own needs.

* Screen rating: a technology, developed in conjunction with HPC:Factor to create video content for older Windows CE devices.

* Brightness and contrast adjustments.



Features (DVD Catalyst 2.5):

* Scene selection: select individual scenes from a movie or music DVD.

* Split in Chapters: split the movie based on scenes for smaller filesizes or to virtually create scene selection using a playlist on the device.

* Multi-Device Queue: If you have more then one device, you can have DVD Catalyst convert the same movie to all of them without having to start the program over. You can even save different profiles with multiple devices and settings.

* Advanced adjustments. Adjust advanced settings such as manual cropping and framerate.

Features (DVD Catalyst GT 1.5):

* True 2 click conversions. Once you used GT once, all the conversions will be possible with 2 clicks. Select what you want to convert, and then start the conversion, it's that simple.

* Real Preview shows how the movie will look on your device, no white lines.

* Automatic episode detection. DVD Catalyst GT scans DVD's for episodes, and will make them available for conversion without having to manually select them.

The laws in some countries - including the United States of America - restricts the converting and copying of DVDs, even for fair use and personal use (backing up a DVD that you own, for example).
