5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every dollar, July 3, 2007

I've been using Cinematize since Cinematize 1. Cinematize 2 works very well for me. Before I found Cinematize, I had to do the same thing in very round-about way. I use Cinematize 2 to extract short clips from various DVDs I have and to create favorite scene collections. I also want to mention that my experience with Miraizon tech support has been more than satisfactory. In fact, it's some of the best FREE tech support I've ever gotten. Plus once you get a hang of it, the program is very easy to use anyway. I highly recommend this product! It's a life saver.

Cinematize is one of those rare programs that lives up to its claims. It's simple, and easy to use right out of the box. I only wish that I could hear the audio when I'm selecting parts to clip. Perhaps in time they'll come up with a version that will enable that. Until then, this is the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Will just have to make do!, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Miraizon Cinematize 2 (Mac) (CD-ROM)

The program is good, but limited. I expected to be able to choose the size output of Quicktime movie clips, but found I can only choose size in MPEG-4. There are other unexpected limitations as well. It's a good enough program, but I think what has really soured me on it is the tech support. The person who responded to my email was very condescending, impatient, and rude. When I asked him for help with some of the parameter settings within the program, his advice was to spend more money on his company by buying their Pro version. When I replied that I really just wanted help with the settings in the program I already bought, he told me to buy a book about video compression. Great.

So, it's a good enough program if you already know all about working with video, but if you did, you probably would want a more advanced version. It's not a good purchase if you might need some tech help.
