Star Wars The Clone Wars Movie (2008) DVD

Star Wars The Clone Wars 2008 DVD 01

Reported by someone as being a picky DVD, so I picked it up to run it through its paces:

Moneyball (2011) DVD

Reported last night as being a bit picky, I converted Moneyball from DVD using DVD Catalyst:

Water for Elephants (2011) DVD

Water for Elephants 2011 DVD 00

Reported earlier today as only converting partially, I ran Water for Elephants through DVD Catalyst 4:

Apollo 18 (2011) Bluray

Using DVD Catalyst 4 with AnyDVD HD, this Bluray converts fine, however, due to the movie was created, a small settings change is needed to ensue the best movie playback experience.

The Thing (1982) DVD

Earlier I converted the new 2011 version of “The Thing”, so I figured I might as well do the 1982 version as well:

Using DVD Catalyst 4 (4.1.3.2), the new The Thing movie on DVD converts without any issues.

The Thing (2011) Bluray

The 2011 version of The Thing on Bluray needs AnyDVD 6.9.1.0 or higher if you want to convert it with DVD Catalyst 4.

The Wolfman (2009) DVD (and how the black border detection process works)

Someone reported some complications with “The Wolfman”. Based on the description used, it appeared that the black-border removal feature of DVD Catalyst did not detect the borders correctly, resulting in a video file that had a bit more cut-off than what it needed.

Real Steel (2012) DVD

Real Steel 2012 DVD 01

  Today Real Steel was released on DVD, and it came in the mail. Since it is a high-profile movie, I figured I’d run it through its paces to make sure the movie works fine with DVD Catalyst 4:

Killer Elite (2011) DVD

Killer Elite 2011 DVD 01

Earlier today I had someone mention a complication with Killer Elite, so I ran it through the latest ( v4.1.3.2) version of DVD Catalyst 4.
