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

By	Ira Feigelman "SW-aholic" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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

By	SamStevens (California, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK...I guess?, December 28, 2007

By	Managua Dave "Managua Dave" (Managua, Nicaragua) - See all my reviews

Haven't quite figured how to pull clips from feature films to insert into Keynote presentations. Won't work with copyright protected DVD's.
