CyberLink DVD Suite includes ten basic tools designed to help you make the most out of your multimedia library. Tasks like burning music compilations onto CD and DVD, creating data backup copies, or designing photo slideshows to share with friends and family are just some of the tasks that you'll be able to carry out with CyberLink DVD Suite.

The suite includes an application launcher, known as PowerStarter. This launcher works as some kind of control panel from where you can easily access all the tools included in the suite. They're categorized in tabs according to the task or action you can do with them ("watch movie", "make an audio CD", "copy a data DVD") instead of displaying the actual tool's name. PowerStarter also includes a special Favorites tab where you can add shortcuts to your most frequently used actions.

This app launcher obviously makes things much easier for the average user, but power users may find it confusing, as they're probably used to choosing the application they want to open – not the task they want to do.

What does CyberLink DVD Suite include? As a starter, you'll find a powerful recording tool (Power2Go) with which you can burn audio and data CD and DVD, perfect to enjoy your favorite music anywhere and make backup copies.

Another outstanding app is PowerProducer, which lets you create VCD, SVCD and video and photo compilations. If you want to create a fully customized slideshow with soundtrack, transition effects and all the bells and whistles, then your best choice is Medi@Show. PowerDVD Copy and PowerBackup also deserve a mention, allowing you to copy non-protected DVD movies and create security copies of your sensitive data respectively.

CyberLink DVD Suite is undoubtedly a very complete package with high-quality tools, which is very suitable for the average user. I'm not that sure about more advanced users though: I'm convinced that the more you learn about how to use computers and software, the less you need to download a huge-sized suite with a dozen tools from which you'll probably only use three or four - especially in the case of CyberLink DVD Suite, where you can't choose which specific tools you want to install.

I especially liked the simplicity of use of Plato DVD to 3GP Converter. On the downside, the interface is a bit too dull. Also, it would be great to have predefined profiles for certain devices, such as the iPod, the iPhone or the PSP.

There's nothing more annoying than a DivX file that won't play or has been corrupted because of a virus or hard drive failure.

The good news is that you can repair some of these files with DivXRepair, solving issues such as image freezing, loss of sound and discolored pixels. Simply browse to the file you want to inspect, and DivX Repair will automatically detect and eliminates bad frames.

This searching process can take a while though and it doesn't always find frames that are damaged. If it does find the corrupted frames, it cuts out the bad parts and re-splices it together so that the frame may be missing but at least it plays properly. You may notice some slight interference in the image when this happens but it's a small price to pay for having a functioning file.

If your DivX files are corrupted or refuse to play, DivXRepair can help put them back together with minimal image loss.

If you wish to turn a file MPEG to DVD, there are many applications out there to help you do a basic job. However, if you're going to do it properly and professionally, you'll need a utility like BatchDemux which gives you professional conversion results albeit with a more complicated procedure and interface than you may be used to

BatchDemux is a utility that allows you to convert the audio and video of one MPEG video from a VOB, quickly and thoroughly. If you're doing batch conversions, it can even process several files simultaneously and it utilizes MPTGX and BBCEMUX protocols to give optimum extraction quality.

However, with limited instructions, this takes some time to figure out properly, especially since DVD's vary in structure. Note that it only supports MPEG and VOB files and will not work with other video formats. On the plus side however, it work directly from the .EXE file so does not require installation and although it requires an external application to burn the DVD.

Overall, an excellent solution for professionals although amateur users looking to perform a simple conversion will not need something this thorough.

Although H.264 is still a relatively new format, it offers incredible compression rations that can reduce your DVD films to around 10% of their original size. Aplus DVD to H264 MP4 Ripper allows you to do so and is very straightforward to use in 4 steps.

Before you start, the program will scan your system to see if your hardware can complete the conversion process successfully. The demands on the processor are quite intense and if you haven't got at least a Pentium 3 or equivalent, you may have problems.

Drag your DVD files into the file manager, select the output type (H.264 or Mp4), select an output destination and click start. You can also export the subtitle and select which audio tracks you want to keep. One particularly nice feature is the option to shutdown the computer automatically when the conversion process is complete. Bearing in mind that the conversion process can take hours depending on the size of the DVD, this is a really useful addition to the program enabling you to leave it running overnight.

As far as converters go, this does a great job. However, since the H.264 format is still relatively unsupported amongst DVD players and media players, you might think twice before converting to this format.

Imagine being able to watch your favourite films anytime, anywhere on your pocket PC. That's what Plato DVD to Pocket PC Converter allows you to do in a powerful little package which comes bundled with several nice features. What I hate with video converters is having to hang around whilst the often lengthy conversion process completes and I can finally shut down my PC for the night. There's no such problems with Plato DVD to Pocket PC however because you can set it to automatically shutdown once the process is complete.

It's also very simple to use. Once installed, simply click "Add" to as many files as you want for the conversion list. If you want to remove a specific conversion task from schedule list, press "remove" button. If you want to reset the schedule list, press "Clear". You can also set the start and end point of a video to convert by dragging the sliding bar to the appropriate point. After that, you simply set the output Pocket PC AVI video quality and instruct the program where to save the converted file. Once you click convert, a status bar will show you how much is completed.

Prepare to wait a long time though - conversion speed runs at about twice the speed of playback so for a 2 hour film, you're going to wait at least an hour. You may also experience a common error message saying ""Decoder not initiated. Select IFO file first" depending on the encryption of the DVD. This can be fixed by selecting "Use aspi for DVD driver to access DVD driver" from the file menu although it simply can't convert all DVD's.

FixVTS is a very tiny tool that allows you to adjust your DVD files into better DVD compliance, so they can be opened in DVDShrink or vobblanker. FixVTS does a similar job as what's called an "IFOEdit Mock Strip", but only adjusts as little information as possible in the VOB and IFO files to allow opening in other apps while keeping the DVD as similar as the original as possible

You would use FixVTS if you messed up your DVD, for example by applying the wrong tool, or aborting in the middle of some processing, and the result can no longer be used. Another good use is for DVDs that have been authored with errors in the IFO or VOB files, such that they still play on your player, but won't open in DVD editing tools such as DVDShrink, vobblanker and others.
