Bitrate not updated 2.0.0.91

Bitrate 2.0091 This is an old bug - if ignored by user, a write once disk is wasted. I am providing a workaround as follows: i7 with 32 G of RAM. Windows 10 64 bit (as of 2nd July 2018). GTX 1080. Select Blu-Ray 1080p profile. Load two MP4 files. Each one is about an hour or so. Bitrate reports (for...

Re: Re-install

The error was "used on too many machines" or something like that. I was only used one time, so I was stumped. I also tried to cut and paste another serial number/code (from another product) and it too, said used too many times (and it shouldn't be at all.) I wonder if it's the activating s...

Re-install

I realize there are so many times the program from VSO can be reinstalled (on the same computer). I am one of those users that try different things and am actively trying to push Convert X to Video (and others) to the limits. There are times I just wipe my Windows 10 64 bit from the hard drive and i...

Re: Save ConvertXtoDVD Project

Download the latest version (or the same) and reinstall it. Choose the option(s) of clearing the settings.

I did this once a while ago.

Re: Create DVD with DTS 5.1 does not work

Dear Ira, I feel the same way too, about their products. Convert X To video produces clean blu ray and DVD (with the right settings that is..) and it works basically with all the files/formats that I have tried. SRT / ASS subtitles work well without any editing. But the program is so buggy. I don't ...

Re: Create DVD with DTS 5.1 does not work

Ira - believe me when I say that there are bugs in this programs that I find very frustrating, I simply try to find a workaround for it. This program can't produce DTS soundtrack, and it would be nice to be able to be told that (as you stated). It isn't so and that's that. The company is not doing w...

Backing up hard drive

That is why I always use a computer without a virus scanner and no internet. I use a separate computer for any internet connections. I also backup the System HDD with Acronis True Image just after I install the OS and all the software. That way I can recover my full HDD and be up and running within ...

Good to know.

I use Symantec Endpoint Protection (server edition) and thankfully it hasn't bombed other programs running .. yet.

Re: Create DVD with DTS 5.1 does not work

VSO software do not create DTS output. It can convert from DTS to Dolby.

CUDA

If you have a GTX (Nvidia) card, have you tried CUDA setting? Last few versions worked, but the current one crashes on me, so I switched to NVENC and that works. OpenCL works for me. QuickSync is too slow (I guess it's done by the CPU). Also, I set the maximum bitrate to 30,000,000. Lowering it didn...

Re: Help please

You need to write out the steps you did to cause the problem. For example, something like: 1. Load 3 MP4 files. 2. Choose associated subtitle (SRT) files. 3. Choose no menu. 4. Set output to burn to single layer DVD disk. 5. Save project as "My project 1" 6. Program crashes with message, &...

Re: video quality

For my personal experience, there are a lot of settings that you can play around with this (and other VSO's programs). I have not found any other programs in the market that are easy to use, and so flexible. No other programs that I have tired can import SRT / ASS subtitles like VSO Convert X To Vid...

resize filter for up and down scaling

By the way, if you choose [Hermite] filter, you'll get very nice, smooth and very clear output. Linear is not as good, but it runs faster if you're in a hurry. This program can be buggy from time to time. Every time something is fixed, a new bug is introduced. Having said that, there is nothing bett...

Click on [Advanced edit] Click on [video cut] tab (it looks like scissors). Click on [start] Click on [play preview] button. Keep the cursor on it - when it gets to the poi...

I tried using this program for the first time, and I must tell you - it's pretty amazing. Found a bug. I have some Thai MP4 files (movies). For example, "ผ่ายุทธการถล่มลอนดอน.mp4" (It's the Thai-dubbed London Has Fallen movie.) And I have other files - half were named in English, the other...

bitrate 2.0.0.85

Bitrate with 2.0085 still wrong. Load a large MP4 file. Choose blu ray 1080p profile. It shows (for me anyway), 2.98 Mb/s. Change profile to blu ray 480p. Now it's 29.36 Mb/s. Change back to blu ray 1080p Now it's 30.00 Mb/s. (My bitrate is set to maximum of 30 Mb/s) I went ahead and tried to comple...

AVCHD output (disk)

I'd love you all to death if Convert X to Video (or Convert X to HD) can produce the disk output in AVCHD format. I have been playing with BD Rebuilder and it works quite well. (It has an option of "strict AVCHD format") BDR creates the single layer DVD AVCHD plays with all the blu ray pla...
