DVD Catalyst 3 Beta Testers Needed

We need your help !

DVD Catalyst 3 Beta

As some of you might have noticed, a few weeks ago, we released DVD Catalyst 3 v3.90, which included quite a few significant additions as well as new device profiles for the Droid X and the iPhone 4. A week later, we decided to pull the update, and revert back to 3.86.2, due to some people experiencing compatibility issues with certain devices. To avoid a repeat of this, we decided to run a public beta test for the next update of DVD Catalyst.

Since the 3.90 version was pulled, we have been working on fixing the issues people reported, however, not all of them are reproducible on our end, so if you are interested in playing with the beta to use it as you normally would use DVD Catalyst 3 to see if you run into any complications. Of course if you enjoy playing around with the settings and report your findings to us, you will help us with making the overall user experience of DVD Catalyst better as well.

DVD Catalyst 3 Beta

Whats new:

Theme. As you can see from the screen shots above, DVD Catalyst 3 has received a new look. While some parts were themed in our previous releases, we have reworked the entire interface to give DVD Catalyst 3 a more up-to-date look.

New device profiles. Newly released devices such as the iPhone 4 and the Droid X now have profiles in DVD Catalyst 3

File Transfer. For most devices, after the conversion is complete, DVD Catalyst will offer to transfer the created video files to your device.

Power User mode. By default, DVD Catalyst has only the basic settings accessible to avoid confusion for new users. By enabling the Power User check mark, all the options and features of DVD Catalyst will become available. This should make DVD Catalyst a lot easier to start with for new users.

Fixed:

2-pass conversions. The first pass is now quite a bit faster.

How to take part in the beta:

* Only people who actually purchased DVD Catalyst 3 are eligible to take part in the beta.

Important:
