To update a previous version of DVD Catalyst 3, just click on the cat-eyes to download the update.

Whats New::

For our soon to be released MP4 Streaming Server application for iPhone/iPod Touch/Android/Blackberry and select Windows Mobile devices new profiles have been added, designed to produce watchable video for internet streaming. Information in regards of the Streaming Server application will be made available soon. Until then, please visit  http://mp4ss.tools4movies.com on your iPhone, Droid, Storm, Bold or Touch Pro (or any other MP4 capable player with internet connectivity) for a sample.

*Updated manual. The original manual had not received any major updates since DVD Catalyst 3.0. A few things were changed after the original website domain name was stolen, however, most of the features that were added to DVD Catalyst after release were not mentioned in the manual. We have now updated the manuall to reflect 3.85 and all of its features. We addressed everything we could think of, however if there are parts missing, or information you would like to see expanded, please let us know.

*The Boosterpack is now included in the full trial and retail installers. Because it offers a great benefit for just about everyone who uses DVD Catalyst, we decided that it is easier to include it in the installer rather than to have everyone download it separate. The “Preview Fix: is not included in the installers, mainly because it would make the download even bigger.
*Global Settings > Thumbnail tab added. This offers a multitude of options to have DVDCat automatically generate thumbnails from video files after conversion is finished.

*Merge / Join option added. You can now join multiple avi files into a single video file. Option to enable for other types/dvdtracks added in Global Settings > Advanced, however, it is more reliable for AVI files.

*Duplicate / Move up / Move down options added. You can re-order the files/tracks before conversion. With duplicate you can convert a track into a single file as well as split in parts for example.

*Split option added. You can now split a video file or DVD track in the middle to create to smaller files of the same playlength.

*Screenshot Sequence. In the preview, an option to generate a sequence of screenshots of the selected video/dvd track has been added. Files will be saved in the selected output folder, and are created using the same resolution as the source video.

*”Experimental” conversion profiles added to copy specific file formats. File Copy AVI, File Copy MP4, File Copy MPEG/VOB. Works only with specified file formats, and can be used to copy a DVD to an unmodified MPEG file (Handy for MediaCenter PC’s),  merge video files without re-encoding etc. For AVI pick the AVI one and so forth. Cropping/resizing options will not result in any changes. File Copy MPEG/VOB can also be used for testing a DVD drive.

*Enable Streaming for MP4 files. (Global Settings > Advanced). Enable this to automatically modify the created MP4 files for streaming capabilities.

*Re-ordered CPU Indicator code to make DVDCat work on Linux (wine)

*Re-organized “Global Settings”

*Modified conversion speed display code for better accuracy.
Fixes:

Use sourcefolder for destination did not work for all video files, this has been fixed.

FLV/YouTube files did not convert properly or in sync. This has been fixed, but requires the boosterpack AND the previewfix to be completely enabled.
Fixed Load/Save State and Status

Fixed “Remove from Queue”
Fixed numerous “integer” errors.

Thanks to a few people who reported some issues with DVD Catalyst, and took the time to go through various less-used features to try and replicate them, we have fixed more issues in 3.85 than any other release. Even though it is only a 0.1 version increase, the amount of fixes, and the amount of new features added are more fitting for DVD Catalyst 3.9 rather than a 3.85, but because the big 4.0 is so close, we decided to just make it a small version increase.

For DVD Catalyst 4 we have no idea what to do. From as it stands now, 4.0 will just be DVD Catalyst 3.99 +1, which will also mean its a free upgrade for DVD Catalyst 3 users.

As always, we are out of ideas on what to add. If you have an idea for an interesting feature, let us know. We are always listening.

Besides the other most popular devices, such as the iPhone, Blackberry, WIndows Mobile and Zune devices, support has been added for the most popular Android phones on the market as well.

Are the other free conversion methods too complicated or too much hassle to work with, just give DVD Catalyst Free a whirl.

Convert DVDs with a single click, drag most of the common video file types such as AVI, DIVX, MPEG onto DVD Catalyst Free, and again, just one click, and all will be done for you.

Please do keep in mind that DVD Catalyst Free has no configuration options, and is not as fast with DVD conversions as DVD Catalyst.

For more options and device profiles, including black bar removal, volume adjustment, as well as faster DVD conversions, please upgrade to DVD Catalyst 3 for less than $10

Volume Maximizer: Global Settings > Advanced, enabled by default.

Normalizes volume to a percentage of the maximum value before distortion.

This setting overrides the volume setting completely. It basically makes all your conversions the same volume.

Rotate video: Global Settings > Conversion.

Rotates the video 90, 180 or 270 degrees for some video players that do not do this themselves (rare).

No Subtitles: Global Settings > Language:

Some video files (MKV mainly) have subtitles enabled by default, which can otherwise not be turned off.

Forced Subtitles:  Global Settings > Language:

Subtitles that appear in movies that have sections of foreign language (District 9). This was always enabled in previous versions.

CPU indicator checkmark:Global Settings > Advanced.

While the CPU indicators do not take much power, it does affect conversion speed a bit. Turn off to gain a bit more performance.

Don’t rename files:Global Settings > Advanced

Checkmark to turn off renaming files if they exist. By default, DVD Catalyst does not overwrite existing files.

>No Subtitles: Global Settings > Language: Some video files (MKV mainly) have subtitles enabled by default, and will end up in the conversion even when not enabled in DVD Catalyst. This will turn them off.

DVD Catalyst 3 v3.83.5 is currently available on most of the normal locations, including the various sales-websites. You can obtain it by either using the original link you received upon purchase, or simply click on the cat-eyes to update.

What is new?

Since the last posted release notes, plenty of new device profiles have been added, including the newer Blackberry models, the Verizon Droid, HTC Pro2, Touch2, HD2, Leo, and the new Sony Aino and Satio phones. WHile many devices use similar profile settings, Sony (as usual) always does things different, and for their new models, a new screen resolution was added in DVD Catalyst 3, 640×360.

Besides the new profiles, a few things were added/changed as well.

With 3.83(.0) we added the CPU indicators. Small animated bars at the bottom right that shows you how busy your computer is. While it looks cool, it does take up a little power away from the actual conversion, so just to be able to squeeze a little more performance out of your computer, we added an option (Global Settings > Advanced) to turn them off.

In 3.83 some issues were reported in regards of 2-pass conversions. These have been adressed and fixed.

Some DVDs, such as The Dark Knight, caused some weird error messages in DVD Catalyst, and these have been adressed as well.

Recently, an issue with failed conversions was linked to having a non-standard character in your username. DVD Catalyst, by default, looks for the Video folder in your user profile on your computer. If you have a username such as “Nancy’s computer” the video folder would be something like “C:\Users\Nancy’s computer\Videos”

Because not all devices can handle all characters in a filename, DVD Catalyst uses a filter to rename the files to make them compatible. This caused the ‘ in the foldername to be renamed as well, resulting in a non-existing folder where the conversion would store the file, and thus the conversion crashes.

Lastly,

We still receive emails from people who experience virus messages from DVD Catalyst or even that DVD Catalyst is missing from their computer. While this has been fixed a few releases ago, not everyone who uses DVD Catalyst updates to every new version released (if it isn’t broke, dont fix it), people still run into these issues.

The reason why this is happening is because we used a program to “wrap” DVD Catalyst into a protection application. This application puts a layer around the program it protects, and gives it capabilities of making it expire after a certain time (trial version), and it also compresses the program, making it smaller to download. Unfortunately, for some reason, some virus scanners (Norton, McAffee) found that any program wrapped with this one particular application was infected. Even though the application was clean, it resembled a small portion of code of a virus, and rather than actually scanning the file completely, these virus scanners just mark it as being infected (thats how they get their speed)

While we tried communicating with various Antivirus companies, as well as the developers of this particular application, they all force us to install and purchase their products or updates before providing any assistance. With some they require the install of one of their trial versions, but due to the complexity of getting rid of it afterwards we offered a few different options instead, all which got ignored.

So, as a result, we are no longer using the “wrapper” application, and unfortunately, we had to modify the trial version into a conversion-limited (20% of each movie/video) rather than the 7-14 day limitation we have used for 5 years.

DVD Catalyst 3 always gets scanned upon release by www.virustotal.com, a website that scans files for virusses using 40 of the top antivirus applications.

Overt the last few days, we have been updating the installer files for DVD Catalyst 3 on the various websites to 3.83.1

Again, as the previous 3.8x updates, a few things have been added/changed to make DVD Catalyst even better than before.

First off, some of the previous versions of DVD Catalyst were flagged by virus scanners. This was mainly due to the trial-protection and compression tool we used on DVD Catalyst to make it expire and to make the download a little smaller. Communication with the company of this particular product resulted in nothing, so we were forced to make a major change;

* DVD Catalyst 3 Trial no longer expires, however, it only converts each item to 20%. We really did not want to go this route with our trial version, however, because of the cost of trial-maker applications, as well as their irregular behaviour in regards of virus scanners, we decided to eliminate the use of an application not developed by us to do this. The 20% conversion time in the trial is something we choose to still give a fair idea on how the program performs and what quality you get for video files, while still keeping it a trial version. Its a lot better than 5 minutes (which usually gets you just past the intro credits of a movie)

NEW:

* Preview Fix addon. Similar as the DVD Catalyst Boosterpack. The preview-fix updates the preview engine to eliminate issues of switching Windows Vista/7 to Classic Mode during preview. The preview engine can also be used for processing files/DVDs, and can improve compatibility with some of the more trickier DVDs on the market.

* Use Source folder for Destination. A new option in Global Setttings, which ignores the selected output folder, and will put the created video file into the same folder location as where the original file is located.

* HD 720 and HD 1080 profile groups added. These profiles can be used to convert DVD and video   for playback on HD capable devices. Do keep in mind that to preserve quality, DVD Catalyst does not upscale video to a higher resolution than the original video by default, so a DVD will not be converted to a HD resolution, however, the video will look great on an HD TV. If you use sources (AVCHD recording, Bluray Rip, TV torrent etc) that have HD resolutions, these will be kept, or scaled as needed.

FIXES:

* Aspect ratio issues. With the previous version of DVD Catalyst 3 (3.82) an issue with the aspect ratio adjutsment in Preview was causing complications. This has been resolved.

*Failed DVD conversions directly after starting a conversion. This was an issue with some DVDs that did not have a proper DVD structure set to describe the audio language. This has been fixed.

*Subtitle issues. If a mix of video files and DVD tracks were in the queue, subtitles could end up on the wrong video. (video file subtitle on a DVD track for example) This is also fixed.

And more.

DVD Catalyst 3 3.83.1 is currently available from all the download locations.

You can update by clicking on the cat-eyes in DVD Catalyst itself, or use the download link you received upon purchase to update.

Besides a few fixes, the Blackberry profiles from DVD Catalyst 3 have been added, as well as the new processor-usage indication from DVD Catalyst 3.

A few new things have been added (even ones I did not mention in the previous progress updates)

File-size indication for selected output location. Resulting from troubleshooting a conversion issue with a DVD Catalyst user. The external hard disk that was used to store the converted files onto was full, which caused conversions to fail all the time. With DVD Catalyst 3.82, underneath the output location, DVD Catalyst now shows how much storage space is available. While a warning message would be helpful as well, we decided not to do that, due to the automatic nature of DVD Catalyst.

CPU usage indicator(s). At the bottom, DVD Catalyst 3 now shows one or more CPU indicators. This tells you how busy your computer is, before and during a conversion. DVD Catalyst automatically counts your processors/cores etc, and displays a little counter for each of them.
Boosterpack 2. The new Boosterpack 2 installs some additional stuff to make certain video formats work. It is needed to be able to convert many different AVCHD video files, as well as FLV and VC1 video formats.
Run before/after conversion. Requested a few times, and finally implemented. You can tell DVD Catalyst to run something before the conversion starts, as well as when the conversion is complete. It will accept all file types, so you can set it up to play a sound or an MP3 before or after a conversion, or, for advanced users, you could use it to run a script/batch file to turn off a software application, and start it again when the conversions are done.
Shutdown DVD Catalyst when done. While it was already possible to have DVD Catalyst turn off your computer after conversions are finished, DVD Catalyst can now turn itself off when it has finished with the conversions.

Ask for track detection. Upon request, you can have DVD Catalyst ask for what tracks of a DVD need to be scanned. If you converted the DVD before, or for DVDs that take a long time scanning, this can be a time-saver.

SRT Subtitle scale. On some conversions, the font-size of video files with seperate subtitle files can be quite small. You can adjust the size for these.
FIXED:

A lot of less-common video files (install boosterpack2)
2 Pass conversions (file size was quite a bit bigger than estimated)
Blank output folder issue. In some rare cases the output folder was not usable

A lot more had been addressed than the above.

DVD Catalyst 3 3.82 has been uploaded to all the sales websites and download locations, but due to server synchronization it might take a few hours before the update is available.

If you are using a previous version of DVD Catalyst 3, you can update by clicking on the cat-eyes.

DVD Catalyst 3.82, the next version of DVD Catalyst 3 is currently available in beta form.

While most things are fully functional, there might be some issues.

Whats new:

To clean things up a little, 2 new TABs have been added in Global Settings.

*Boosterpack TAB, containing the settings for turning off boosterpack, as well as room for future options.

*Advanced TAB, containing additional settings that do not really fit in the other tabs, or are for more experienced users.

The Advanced Tab includes the following:

*AVCHD framerate. Some camera files do not report the video information properly, causing severe issues with conversions.
This is used for those files.

*Run before conversion: run a program (or bat file) before the conversion starts.
*Run after conversion: run a program (or bat file) after the conversion is finished.
these are usefull to stop and restart a program that might interfere with the conversion. These options actually run anything. The Browse dialog is set to look for All Files, enabling you to pick whatever you want to run. You could pick a program, but also a wav file or an mp3 to play when conversions are complete. To test-run the file, click on the filename in DVD Catalyst after you selected a file. Note that the execution of the file is NOT monitored by DVD Catalyst. it will not wait for a script to finish.

*SRT subtitle font scale: video files with SRT subtites tend to convert subtitles really small. this fixes that.

*Ask for DVD track selection: Rather that using DVD Catalyst automatic scanning, this will enable you to manually select the tracks you need.
Handy for those DVDs with a lot of tracks, or if you had issues, and restarted DVD Catalyst and remembered which track you need.
Shows playtime of the tracks, and has a preview as well.

*Shutdown DVDCat when done. closes dvdcat when conversion are completed.
*shutdown computer when done. (has been in dvdcat since the beginning) turns off computer when conversions are done.
