Re: Lifetime License

Just to clarify. When you say "one more year," you mean a new year, right? Meaning, you can keep renewing year after year or you only get 1 renewal year? I know this question sounds stupid :) but it did make me pause and consider.


Thanks!

Re: Update cancelled by user every time I open the software

7.0.0.81 Beta apparently addressed this issue. Thanks!

Update cancelled by user every time I open the software

Beginning yesterday, every time I open CXD 7.0.0.80, I get a window saying Update failed. Update cancelled by user. With a close button. All I did was open the software! I didn't cancel the update check in any way, shape, or form.


Thanks!

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

I can verify it was the way those 3 particular discs were authored that is causing the problem. There were 4 PAL DVD releases of the 1988 Robocop animated series. 3 Volume discs and a complete series of all 12 episodes on one DVD-9. Each of the 3 Volumes has the problem I described, but the 12 episo...

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

Yeah, DVDShrink is ancient, but it still does the job (Except for structurally protected discs.) and still works on Windows after 15 years. I find it useful for "extracting" contents out of a DVD for things like importing into CXD.

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

I don't think that's the same problem here. Conversion completes, but it has a pause at the beginning. I've encountered this before in the past, actually, now that memory serves me correctly.


I don't have third party AV installed, so I couldn't take that action even if I wanted to try it.

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

It does appear to be a problem with how all 3 of these DVD's were authored as it's present on every episode across all 3 discs.

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

I uploaded the first minute of an input file to the requested repository. It didn't matter if I used DVDShrink to isolate the 1 minute of footage or used the VIDEO_TS extracted from the source disc. If I play the contents I uploaded in Media Player Classic Home Cinema, there is no pause the start of...

Re: PAL to NTSC conversions errors

The output is a VIDEO_TS folder, but I first noticed it playing a disc I burned with a VIDEO_TS. Even when VIDEO_TS.IFO is played from hard disk in Media Player Classic Home Cinema, it happens. Now, I didn't think about this, but all 3 PAL discs I tested input with are somewhat identical. They were ...

PAL to NTSC conversions errors

PAL to NTSC conversions all have the same problem with 7.0.0.80. I tried 3 different PAL DVD's and got the same results. What happens is the output begins with paused video. When the playback resumes, it is missing the first few seconds of the audio. I haven't done a PAL to NTSC conversion in a long...

Re: Conversion canceled by user

I wasn't entirely certain extracting the files to SRT and importing that into CXD would work, but it apparently would.

Re: Conversion canceled by user

Oh, you did. I overlooked that. Unfortunately, the "laws" of actual RAM versus virtual memory aren't, well, laws. For instance, how can a web browser like Firefox, take up more than 50% of available RAM with just a few tabs open? You could try changing the defaults of Windows virtual memor...

Re: Conversion canceled by user

Whatever CXD is doing at that point when the virtual memory low occurs, it is apparently writing a lot of data to the swapfile. This would depend on the size of the input file and whatever processing is being done. That could, also, be related to what kind of video compression is used on the source ...

Re: Conversion canceled by user

I don't know how you'd do this, but I would think there must be software out there that can extract the subtitle track from a container file. Then, you could manually add this .SRT, which I'd guess it would be, file as a user added subtitle track in CXD.

Re: Converting Blu-Ray to DVD

Ah! I didn't see the Older Products category.


So, would ConvertXToVideo do a better job of it or Blu-Ray Converter?

Re: Converting Blu-Ray to DVD

CXD mentions using Blu-Ray Converter for such a task I mentioned, but I did not see such an application offered on VSO's website when I checked.

Converting Blu-Ray to DVD

The way CXD currently works, it will convert a Blu-Ray source to DVD, but it will only convert the main feature title Any other streams or extras are not available for input. I'm looking for something that will convert all available title sets from a Blu-Ray to DVD. Would VSO's ConvertXToVideo do th...

Re: Problem with ConvertXtodvd 7.0.0.78

I was not aware the burn logs displays the MID/DID, but if you do see a Disc ID that has CMC in it, those are CMC Magnetics discs. They are the absolute bottom of the barrel manufacturer. Their discs cause a lot of problems. If you are going to use Verbatim, be sure you use the RIGHT Verbatim as CMC...
