  • Ability to pause the video encoding.
  • Fully automated (detection of the interlaced files, their readout order, etc).
  • Automations can be overridden by user's settings (if you do not like the automations).
  • Automatic adaptation of the aspect ratio for any video (even the anamorphous ones).

"Oh, dear … not yet an other Mac video converter… shareware moreover!" Yes, dear, but not exactly like the others…

Command line tools are brilliant (credits), but they're not very pleasant, unless you like to dive into data sheets, updates and bug reports. Moreover, if you know nothing about video technology or standards specifications, the results of your work will be poor.

MovieConverter Studio offers you another way:
▪ Able to read?
▪ At least, able to click on the default button of a warning window?
▪ …Congratulations, you've just became an expert in video

Everything is automatic (but could also become manual for "those who master"). MovieConverter Studio proceeds your files -either interlaced (like your iMovie projects) or not- and outputs them according to your country's standards

Unlike other video applications, MovieConverter Studio will automatically fix for you all your difficulties:

- The adaptation of the standard (videos will be converted to your TV standard, but without jerking ;)),
- The interlacing (like your iMovie projects or DVB-T) and their field order (broadcast on TV always display frames properly and in good order),
- Detection of Anamorphics files (movies will not be deformed after encoding).
- Ability to transform any video from 4:3 to 16:9 (whatever its size or interlacing).

But MovieConverter handles simple videos too. ;)
MovieConverter Studio, expert's functions "for dummies".

 

Overview

MovieConverter Studio is a set of video tools:

Encoding module SD (for DVD or DV):

  • First steps:

    GUI
    1 - Select a source file




    2 - Select your TV screen format (4:3 "standard" or 16:9 "widescreen")


    3 - Select your video standard (NTSC for America, Japan, Philippines, Burma and Taiwan, PAL everywhere else)
    You can set this as a default preference too.

    4 - Select a destination folder



    5 - Click on "Go"


    6 … oops, sorry, no step 6, no more settings, that's all :)
    (just wait while it does the encoding)

    Are you sure of your setting? Preview the result (or check readout order of your file) before encoding.

    New v1.5 - Output optimized for flat screens:
    The DVD-Video norm requires some subtleties, sometimes incompatible with display automatisations of your LCD or Plasma television (especially if your DVD player is not correctly set/plugged). MCS now informs your DVD player about your video content. So, your TV always displays it at its best.
    New v1.5 - Better conversion from your AVCHD camcorders (and HD files in general).

Studio modules:

Same principle previously: let MCS scan your files, adjust settings (optional) and MCS will manage to get out at best a product conform to specifications.
  • Studio: module HD Converter to QuickTime format Studio: module HD Converter to QuickTime format HD Converter "SuntaicHD" (Free module, no need to register :))
    Convert for free your AVCHD videos, TOD and Sanyo (HD camcorders) into compatible QuickTime files, ready for editing them in iMovie (HD and '08/09) or FinalCut.

    New v1.5 - "Comfort" options for registered users:
    - Batch mode
    - Option to convert your AVCHD files 3 times faster, without reduction of quality (list of camcorders compatibility).

  • Studio: module DVD-Video Automatically create a DVD-Video with menus, thumbnails and captions (With a file from encoding SD module, or directly reuse your EyeTV files).

    New v1.4: better ergonomy:
    Select a mpeg file, remove one, add another…
    Re-order them directly in the new DVD module window.
    Sound your menus, add a background picture.
    Burn your DVD-Video -directly in MovieConverter Studio- to the most compatible format with DVD-readers.

    Load multiples files directly while dropping them on MCS icon in the Dock.

  • Studio: module Demux Demux your MPEGs videos: extract audio(s), video(s) and subtitles too!
  • Studio: module Mux Mux: combine audio(s), video(s) into a single MPEG (or add subtitles)
  • Studio: module Modify Modify your video aspect without re-encoding (eg: The aspect 16:9/widescreen of your JVC Everio camcorder is not 16:9 DVD-Video compliant,so change it!)

Comparative Advertising (Encoding module)

Do you not know anything about transcoding or telecine, what means "tend to jerk"?
Compare MovieConverter's result and the one produce by your preferred encoding software (and make your own opinion):

  • You live in the United States, Brazil or Japan (NTSC standard)? To try to convert this source file (5 MB - PAL origin) in NTSC…
  • You live everywhere else (PAL standard)? To try to convert this source file (5 MB - NTSC origin) in PAL…

Not yet convinced? Make the test (… and ask yourself why you were bored before with other softwares ;))

If national broadcasters (in France), some local broadcasters (in USA), production companies, agencies and directors already use it … why not you? :-D

MovieConverter is not a software for "experts", it is a software that search for you to obtain quality results.

 

More?!?

  • You have a DV-camcorder and you never realized that you are deleting about half of your frames at every encoding, did you?
  • You discover -once on TV- that your files gotten from the internet and patiently encoded, sadly tend to jerk or to lose synchronization between audio and video?
  • Do you not know anything about anamorphic or interlaced video, but you still want to get top-quality results anyway?

Welcome into the wonderful world of Mac freeware/shareware encoding … or try me! ;)

 

Good Videos!
