DvdReMake Pro Review

Introduction:

There are many applications available for the Windows platform for editing, shrinking, ripping and copying DVD movies. Some applications try to be an all-in-one solution, offering copy, shrink, and burn.

DimadSoft’s DvdReMake Pro specializes in a specific task (presenting your DVD movie in just the way you want it.)

This is quite a bold claim. In the following review we will be putting DvdReMake Pro through its paces and seeing if it lives up to its creator’s claims. 

Thanks to DimadSoft who was kind enough to provide us with DvdReMake Pro Version 3.1 for this review.

Program Features:

A run down of the features of this application immediately tells us this application has some very sophisticated editing options:

• Put multiple DVDs together preserving original menus
• Replace menu background with still
• Move and insert new chapters on an existing DVD
• Edit VM commands (all commands and valid combinations are supported)
• Edit and create new Title Sets, Titles, Chapters, Program Chains, Programs
• Delete Title Sets, Titles, Chapters, Program Chains, Programs
• Move Title Sets, Program Chains, commands within the disk or between different DVDs
• Find DVD navigation errors
• Reorder menu buttons
• Easily follow DVD navigation using “Goto Destination” and History pane
• Change properties of the video, audio and sub picture tracks
• Modify buttons and color schemes in either still or motion menus
• Easily change highlights colors

In DimadSoft’s Own Words:

DvdReMake Pro is a powerful, yet intuitive DVD editor that will let you change content, appearance and navigation of a DVD disk without the need for complete disk re-authoring.

Using unique editing features of the DvdReMake Pro you can completely customize your DVD backups, fix authoring errors, merge DVDs or even compile a new DVD from bits and pieces of other DVD disks.

DvdReMake Pro will even fix incorrectly authored/edited disks. If mismatch between information in ifo and vob files is found the program will try to fix the problem.

It is our firm belief that the user of DvdReMake Pro should not pay for yet another ripper, burner or transcoder option when good software already exists that the user may already own.

Designing this program we did not want to make it “universal”. In a sense that if there are tools available which are easy to use and they are either free or not expensive - then we will try not to overlap with their functionality (approach is more from Unix part of the world). For example DvdReMake Pro does not offer direct import from the DVD, but there is DvdDecrypter; it does not write, but there are plenty of programs that do it; it does not transcode – but there is a DVDShrink, and others.

Let us now move onto the next page where we look at the test PC, software requirements and how to install this application.
