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

in either still or motion menus

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.
