I've been eagerly waiting for the development of an HD version of ConvertXtoDVD for a while now and this announcement is music to my ears.

I know it's still early days but it's looking good so far. I'll keep an eye on the developments and look forward to a retail version release.

Keep up the great work guys, it is appreciated.

Have been looking forward to this product,as it is virtually the same interface as ConvertXtoDVD,which is an awesome product.
I am looking to purchase this product,I do have one request for this product.
Will you be including disc sizes BD5 and BD9,as i usually use BD9 to make AVCHD discs with the same quality as a Bluray disc,and the media is easier and cheaper to get a hold of.
Keep up the great work.

Regards
Renits

Hi

I like the program and I've converted a few episodes so far. But now I have a problem.

The Conversion fails soon after starting.

All of the Episodes play with VLC.

Log follows.

Additional

ConvertXtoHD converts 5 videos, adding the 6th gives the error. It does not matter the order of the videos only the number.

Hi there. I am happy to report that I have purchased a lifetime registration to this product. I have just tried it and have a few comments:
1) I put 2 titles on my first attempt disc and it worked fine except one cannot select the 2nd title
2) The playback is 'jumpy'
3) If one attempts to go back to the main menu from within the title, it takes you back to that title's menu only
4) There are several strange messages within the burn log box (something about #2 attempt burn succesful)

I love the look of this and am sure that soon it will be as brilliant as the ConvertX to DVD that I have had for years. Thank you for what works so far. I will attempt another project and see what happens.
EDIT: I have tried several dofferent settings and with ALL of them the playback is not smooth. The picture jumps every few seconds. I have tried with and without hardware decoding/encoding to see if that could be the problem, to see if it is my system but it would appear not to be. I love what the program does so far, but can't use it at the moment in the way which I intend.
Not griping, not moaning but looking forward to the time that bugs are ironed out. Thank you all, keep up the excellent work :)

Hi
Decided to give to Alpha a try before purchasing and im glad i did as i just waisted 3 hours encoding only to be greeted by a "Failed" message just before burning started!

i have to admit i was really looking forward to this, guess i will just wait for the Beta Version.

i have attached the log file for you.

Hello,

I am glad you tried too, as you know this is only an alpha version.
Don't waste any more time than you want (as what I explain below might not work) but if you wanted you could try the conversion again, with the menu template "no menu"

and/ or uncheck the "2 pass" option

If you do try please report back what you find.

Thanks for your post!

Does it have to be the same film Claire or do you just want me to try again with anything?

Hi
i have also noticed that although i asked for only 5 cores to be used when converting its using all the cores, the processor is running at 100% and getting around 35Fps

Pete

[Claire]

ideally yes the same film, but you can do it with anything, but if you do it with anything we won't really know if the original problem you had was related to the settings or the specific file (or file + settings)

I think you are right about the converting with all cores....I will confirm and report back

[peter7769]

Ok Claire, I did convert two more last night (different to the original), both the same files, but they were MP4 files, one was with a menu and one without, both converted Ok. Maybe it was a problem with using an mkv file?, like I said I'll try converting the original one again with the settings you suggested, also the two I converted last night were both done on one pass.

Pete

[Claire]

based on what you said, either the problem is with 2 pass, and or the specific mkv file.
ok, well let me know your results - thanks

Hi Claire, just thought I would let you know that I've just tried to convert the same film I was having problems with earlier, this time I used convertXtodvd, and it also failed with an "out of memory" this I've never seen before so I think there is a problem with the file, I've just converted to another format and when I get chance I'll run the new version through convertXtoHD and see what happens.

Do you have any idea when the next alpha or Beta will be?

regards

pete

[Claire]

Thanks for the info.

The next beta will hopefully be available in less than a month, but I am not certain on that.

If you uncheck
[x] Use hardware decoding (if possible)

do the files convert?

I'm sorry for the late response. I got your log files you sent to VSO directly
1) I tested with the same menu you are using: Template: VSO glossy template, clear background, up to 2 episodes/titles per page, contains 4 page(s) and from the title menu (main menu as you say) I can select the 2nd video to play, but should I press top menu as that video is playing it brings me to the root menu, in which the two options I have "play" and "menu" do nothing. I have reported these bugs

2) If you have a small file that you can reproduce this with, could you send us the file (to our server - I'll provide instructions) tell me what settings you use. (perferably without the hardware settings, but you seem to say you get the problem without them used, and specify the playing time you notice the jumpiness. If you have PowerDVD, when watching the disk on your computer you have the same problem? Or when watching with VMP (watching the output file or the burnt disk, vmp: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/vmp ... player.php) Maybe the jumpiness is introduced byt hte 2 pass or the "use best qualtiy setting", I have no idea, just ideas for narrowing the problem down - or the encoding profile (sp, mp, lp)
3) FYI the title's menu as you call it, is what we call the "root menu" - the menu in relation to a specific titleset. The main menu is the title menu (the menu that lists all the titles), good or bad this is vocabulary we are using in our products. This bug has been reported
4) The burn log seems fine to me.

Thanks for the compliments, we will be working to fix all the issues reported.

@igor_lvk
do you know how to always reproduce where the output file does not play smooth?

Can you share the settings you use and the file you converted so we can reproduce and fix?
