MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced ReviewGreat Shareware - Version: 4.2, 3/7/2008 06:20PM PST

I needed something to convert a mini DVD from a Canon recorder. This was the only thing I could find to do a VRO file (I had never heard of that file type).

I bought... I Downloaded... I could not get to work out of the box.

It was my fault since I did not have Quicktime set up properly.

The Developer was responsive and answered my questions. Now I have it working like a fine oiled machine. That's all I ask from shareware. You can't expect perfection... just someone to respond to make it work as best as possible.

Does what it promises and well worth the $25.

I recommend...

MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced ReviewPAL->NTSC conversion worked great! - Version: 4.2, 12/30/2007 07:26PM PST

I've been searching for a PAL->NTSC dvd converter off and on for a while now. downloaded MPEG2 Works 4 today, and a few hours later, I have a perfectly acceptable copy of a DVD that my parents have been wanting to watch on their consumer DVD player for a year now. Documentation is inline on the app, super-easy to use, and as close to 1 button as you could hope. Excellent product.

MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced Reviewa must have.. - Version: 4.2, 11/27/2007 09:48AM PST

This little app is hands down amazing. I'm a paid user since version 3 and I can not believe it, but it gets better and better all the time. Video extractions sometimes can be a bit confusing, but the developer always helps within hours. I simply love it! And now with intel chip it is so fast. Before it took darn long to get the conversions, but on a core 2 duo wait time is reduced to minimum.
Anyways MPEG2 Works is the best app out there for the purpose.
