Put those gigabytes to good use! Don’t just use your iPod to listen to music, now you can carry your home video collection in your back pocket. Use PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Suite, the best DVD conversion software and our “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” to watch your favorite home videos whenever you want.
PQ DVD software provides easy–to–use conversion software. It is also easy navigate and the all–in–one layout allows you to convert DVDs and videos from the same window.
Each time we tested its output quality, PQ DVD converted video and DVD files with impeccable quality. The video and audio were in sync every time, the picture was clear and the colors were bright and vivid.
The speed of conversion was a little quicker for video files than for DVDs in the drive, but both were considerably quicker than the time it would take to actually watch the entire home movie.
Just about any feature you might need to perfect your conversion can be found on PQ DVD. Stretch, shrink or crop the picture to the perfect size; manually adjust the video and audio quality; and preview the video before you begin conversion. You can batch convert, which means you can select several files to convert and then go to bed; however, this only works with video files already located on your hard drive. However, you cannot batch convert directly from the DVD drive, using this method you have to convert each title individually.
In addition to top conversion tools, PQ DVD offers a FREE iPhone Unlock Toolkit. With one click, you can unlock an iPhone and use it as a PDA and iPod without signing up for the AT&T service plan.
By putting all of the general features in the program window, PQ developers have created easy–to–use conversion software. Nothing about PQ’s DVD/Video to iPod Suite is difficult to use.
Regardless of the DVD media we used, the converted files we used to test PQ DVD, looked and sounded great. There were no noticeable skips, jumps or picture distortions.
PQ’s video conversion is near perfect. Throughout our testing process, video conversions were just as clear as the original, sometimes better. However, in one of our tests, the picture was a little stretched and the audio was slightly behind the video. We immediately retested with the same file. The results of the second and third tests were right back to PQ quality. We concluded that the cause might have been due to our system running a similar application at the same time.
PQ DVD converts video files in less than half the time it would take to watch them. DVDs and Mini take a little longer to convert, just over half of the playback time. Considering the high quality of PQ DVD conversions, the conversion speed is quite remarkable.
PQ’s support is very dependable. The guide and FAQ are very helpful and informative. Their email support is also reliable.
PQ DVD is terrific. It's only drawback is its speed—which is still impressive—but it isn’t the fastest software we tested. Overall, PQ DVD is the best DVD and video iPod conversion software we could find. It has a great, easy–to–use set of features and it converts DVD and video files perfectly. In addition, PQ DVD's all–in–one layout provides a convenience that should be adopted by all its competitors.
