Worth every penny. Converts almost every file format that I know of. Easy to convert DVD to digital copy for my Zune and my Girlfrien's Ipod Nano (MP4). Make sure you save it somewere you won't loose it. Burn it on a CD if you have to. Just in case you have to reformat your computer, buy a new computer or Lightling strikes! Stay away from those free downloaders. It's a waste of time and energy. Your paying for a Reliable Name Brand and free from any adware or spyware.

Roxio Crunch lists the following system requirements to run:

Microsoft® Windows Vista, Windows XP Home, Professional, or MCE (SP 2 or later), or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

1.4 GHz Intel® Pentium 4 or equivalent

256 MB RAM

50 MB of free hard disk space to install the software

Up to 15 GB of temporary free hard disk space may be needed while using the software

Windows Media Player 10 or higher

Apple TV, Video iPod, or iPhone

QuickTime 7.1.5 or later

iTunes 7.1.1 or later

My system meets or exceeds all of these requirements, and yet Roxio Crunch does not run. It doesn't appear to be resource intensive in Task Manager, and yet completely locks most other operations (such as Firefox/Internet Explorer) out while it attempts to do something. I say "attempts to do something" because after three attempts at converting a 15 minute video where I left the computer alone for over 3 hours, nothing happened and the program locked up. I had to close it from Task Manager. I would not recommend this program.
