Zune 30 Boosterpack

IMPORTANT: THE ZUNE 30 PROFILE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE BOOSTER PACK !

The Zune30 is quite picky in the format of video file that it accepts. Due to a bug in the conversion engine installed by the boosterpack, an incorrect video quality setting is reported to the Zune Software with created video files. The setting detected by the Zune Software is higher than what the Zune software allows to transfer, even though the actual quality setting of the video file is different. The original conversion engine of DVD Catalyst has a work-around applied specifically to eliminate this issue by reporting a lower quality setting, regardless of what the quality actually is, and this is allowed by the Zune software.

By installing the boosterpack, the work-around is not used in the conversion engine, resulting in that the Zune software will (attempt to) convert the created video file.

If you installed the boosterpack, you can disable it in “Global Settings”. The top title of DVD Catalyst should not have a + behind the 3 to ensure the boosterpack is not enabled.
