| Additional Comments | Overall very easy to use and straight forward. Conversion time was fast. | You end up downloading 2 applications, Xilisoft Blu Ray Ripper, and Xilisoft Creator. The first converts to vob files, and the second does the DVD video authoring: adding the chapters, menus, etc. Software did bug out a few times, and I could not add files from hard drive - only optical drive. Lack of file selection help, and result of playability of final disks are weakest points of the product. | Only product including its own decyptor. The software was easy to use but weak point remains playability of disk. | Very simple and easy to use. The software only converts to NTSC format but played on all the players tested. Software does not exist other than in english. | Overall not bad expect not much help provided for selecting main movie files. Software did bug out a few times. |
*Playbility tested on: PS3 player, standard DVD player Philips DVD733, Samsung DVD-M405, LG DR4810, Panasonic DMR-EH60, Philips DVDR 70
