Supports Reading All Types of Recordable DVD Video Formats and Media Types
GreatVideo! provides everything you need to download, convert and use video files recorded from consumer DVD Video recorders and camcorders on an Apple OS 10.4 system. Standard movie DVD discs are formatted in the “VOB” file format. When recording to DVD-R/W or DVD-RAM discs, DVD Video recorders and camcorders record live video to the Video Recording (“VR”) format, a slightly different format specified by the DVD Forum for this application. They only use the VOB format when recording to DVD-R (write once) discs.

Powerful and Easy to Use
GreatVideo! is the first and only software application that mounts, reads, copies and converts recordable VR and VOB formatted DVD discs automatically to any QuickTime™ video format for editing, authoring and mastering on a Mac 10.4 system.

GreatVideo! performs “drag & drop” conversion of VR and VOB format DVD video files to 23 industry standard video file formats, including Mpeg-4, H.264, Sorenson, Motion JPEG and many others. VR format discs, which are not support by Mac OS 10.4, are mounted using the software’s proprietary File system driver. Selected DVD video files are de-multiplexed into an audio file and a video file, and converted to the selected video format before being written to the user selected disk drive.

Great Video! uses QuickTime™ as a conversion platform to convert files to traditional video formats readable by most popular video editing, authoring and playing software, including Apple Final Cut Pro™ Adobe Premier™ and QuickTime Pro software.

Now Supports Dolby Audio Files
Version 1.7 now supports VR discs containing audio files compressed in Dolby AC-3, as well as the uncompressed, LPCM format audio option used on many consumer DVD recorders and camcorders. Audio encoded in Mpeg-2 is saved in uncompressed format, making it easy to edit and use. Audio encoded in AC-3 is demultiplexed and saved to hard disk as an AC-3 file. Several Apple applications, as well as products from Adobe, Avid and other popular brands of editing software can use or convert AC-3 into other formats as required for editing.

Advanced Features
Advanced features include selecting the compression rate, number of key frames per second, bit rate, and color as allowed by specific video formats.

Compliant with Industry Standards
GreatVideo! is compliant with DVD Forum specifications for Real Time Recording DVD Video Files (VR and VOB files), and the OSTA (Optical Storage Technology Association) specifications for UDF formats. Version 1.7 supports most DVD Forum specification drives, media and formats.

GreatVideo!™ includes ReadDVD!^TM for Macintosh OS 10.4!
Now supports Intel based Mac Systems

ReadDVD!™ UDF Reader Driver for Mac OS 10.4 mounts and reads all types of discs formatted in the UDF format, including the special Video Recording (VR) format discs created on DVD Camcorders and DVD Video Recorders.

If you are having trouble reading discs recorded on your consumer DVD video recorder, DVD Camcorder, Sony Mavica digital camera, or any discs formatted by third party software, then ReadDVD! will help you access your files without any hassle.

The software supports mounting and reading of recordable DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, MO, CD and other optical media formatted in UDF v1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 2.6, including data discs, DVD video discs recorded in VR format and Sony Mavica camera discs.

Solves Common DVD Video Recording Problem
Unlike pressed DVD Movie discs that can be read by the Mac OS, popular recordable DVD disc types that can be erased and re-written, such DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs, use the different VR format (video recording format) specification.

This format requires the ReadDVD! UDF file system reader to recognize the format, automatically mount the disc and present the files in Finder running on an OS X system.

ReadDVD! is the utility you need to access any UDF formatted media on your Mac OS X system.

Key Benefits:

1. Easy to use: the ReadDVD! file system driver automatically mounts the disc on the Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4 Desktop (no application required)
2. Powerful: reads all types of optical disc media formatted in the UDF format
3. Versatile: mounts and reads both data discs and VR DVD discs
