I forgot to inform about my test film. So you can exactly reproduce my test.

You can download it from here - in French language, but the pictures speak for themselves:

It is about cheese manufacturing from one of the oldest cheese in France:
Neufchâtel is a soft, slightly crumbly, mould-ripened cheese made in the French region of Normandy. One of the oldest cheeses in France, its production is believed to date back to the 6th century. It looks similar to Camembert, with a dry, white, edible rind, but the taste is saltier and sharper. It has the aroma and taste of mushrooms. Unlike other soft-white-rinded cheeses, Neufchâtel has a grainy texture.[1] It is most usually sold in heart shapes but is also produced in other forms, such as logs and boxes. It is typically matured for 8–10 weeks.

Have fun!

Most of my "must get for free" DVD video software:

MakeMKV - Effective free Blu-ray decrypter. Also works to decrypt DVD's and rip to mkv format.

DVDFab Passkey Lite - limited edition of DVDFab Passkey, which is a Blu-ray and DVD decryption program.

WinX Video Converter - the only free video converter supports 1080p MKV M2TS AVCHD etc.

VidCoder - conversion to H264 mkv or mp4. Based on Handbrake, but has more options.

No, thank you GOTD.

What do you mean, "No thank you GAOTD?" You provided a list of software that does NOT do what this software does. Furthermore, you stated that MakeMKV is freeware that works to decrypt DVDs when in fact you must PAY for that option. So, NO thank you for your comment, but instead, a very big YES thank you for GAOTD!

This program can convert and upscale video's (from lower to higher resolution). Interface is intuitive, but export formats are limited, mostly because lack of resolution options in output choice. Program has no video editing options. To me, this makes this program useless. If you want to get good quality, the input should be as close to the original source as possible (meaning not converted in any way). In the case of a home-made video (it won't do copyrighted dvds), lots of things might have to be changed to your liking, clipping, cropping, aspectratio, brightness. This program can't do it. So, you'll have to edit it in uncompressed format, or use another converter who can clip, crop etc.
Tested the program with a short clip, upscaled 352x288 to dvd pal format; result was a video with lots of sound hickups and freezed frames (not caused by limitations pc or graphics card). It seems an easy way to get better video quality, but the easy way is not often the best way.

I strongly recommend this software because it's one of the very few video programs not based on ffdshow. If you got some video that other converters won't handle (errors, crashes, unable to load), this will process them.
