• DVD Drive and a DVD playing (software), to convert DVDs

  This software is not compatible with Nero.

• For Windows 2000 or XP or XP SP1, install the Expression Encoder to generate WMV files. You can download the latest version here.
• If you can play the DVD on Windows Media Player (WMP) then M²Convert should be able to convert it.

How long it takes to convert a DVD depends on many factors:

• Computer; mainly CPU speed, how much RAM you have, hard disk and DVD drive speed, and if other software is running.
• DVD; what type of codec it uses, duration of the movie, and whether it has extra features or not.
• Format and quality of the target file.

Yes. To do this you need to uninstall M²Convert from your computer while connected to the internet, this will deactivate your serial number and you can then use it to activate M²Convert on another computer.

No. This product is available by download only.

Although VOB files are encoded very much like standard MPEG-2 files, they do not contain the entire information needed for decoding it. That's why it's recommended that you use the VIDEO_TS.IFO file when trying to convert a DVD. This file should contain the needed information.

The evaluation versions of the products insert a watermark in the middle of the output video and run slightly slower than the full versions. The full versions do not produce the watermark.

Please note that the watermark inserted by the trial version is permanent and cannot be removed when the full version is purchased. You must purchase and activate the product to generate a new file in order to have a video without the watermark

 

M²Convert for ZEN is an easy to use multimedia converter that converts DVDs and files to ZEN compatible format.

• Follow these steps to convert a DVD to ZEN compatible format:

  • Insert the DVD into the DVD drive.
  • Click Add DVD and select the files in the Add DVD dialog box and click OK.
  • Click Edit Playlist to select the Titles/Chapters you want to convert (this button is enabled only when the DVD you are converting has a playlist).
  • Set the Compression, Quality and Size, and select the Output Folder.
  • Click Convert.

To determine the best screen size to use when converting a DVD, you first need to know the aspect ratio of the source DVD.

A DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio (like most TV shows) is best converted using the screen size of 640x480, 480x360, or 320x240 for AVI compression, or 320x240 for WMV compression.

While a DVD with 16:9 aspect ratio (like widescreen movies) is best converted using the screen size of 640x360, or 320x180 for AVI compression, or 220x130 for WMV compression.

If you convert a DVD of a certain aspect ratio using a screen size of a different aspect ratio M²Convert will add a black bar to the converted video to cope with that difference. This will make the converted file of a larger size compared to those made using the same aspect ratio.

If you select the Auto Size option, M²Convert will select the best screen size to convert the source file based on it's size and aspect ratio.
