DVD Catalyst 4.1 User Guide
Features & Settings
DVD Catalyst 4 is the result of years of development.
Originally started as a simple application to assist us with converting our own video files with Windows Media Encoder so they would play (and fit) on an iPaq PocketPC back in 2004. Since then, DVD Catalyst has grown into the most powerful, feature-rich and underestimated DVD and video file conversion tool available today. Before we started, we tried all the video-apps out there, but none of them did what we needed for our own use, so we decided to create something that does what we needed it to do for ourselves. At some point, we figured that there were likely other people that were going through the same hassles as we were, so we decided to release our app to the public.
Initially only created for a specific device category (PocketPC), we received requests from users to add support for additional devices and to implement new features. Rather than just copying similar products, we use DVD Catalyst ourselves, so whenever we run into something we would like it to do, we implement it.
While most similar products hold on to the same step-by-step interface, we designed DVD Catalyst to eliminate as many clicks as possible. The features and settings you find in DVD Catalyst are all based on providing you with the best possible quality and conversion speed, all with the least amount of effort. If you just use DVD Catalyst in Basic Mode, a single click will convert your movies and tv shows, if you take the time to setup DVD Catalyst’s Power User Mode, you can have it monitor folders (recordings/downloads), automatically select subtitle/audio languages, automatically remove black borders, convert video files for multiple devices, and even have DVD Catalyst do it without ever having to click on anything yourself.
Computers were created to take repetition away from people, and DVD Catalyst is the only conversion tool that can take away the repetition of your conversions.
