ratDVD v0.6.1117


Overview :

RatDVD is the result of the author's downloading experiences.
Downloading movies, even DVD rips never really worked out to what he
expected. When he downloads movies, he wants the full DVD features set
and he wants to be able to watch it on any DVD player - without loosing
any features of the original DVD. That is what ratDVD can do for you.
ratDVD takes a full featured DVD-9 movie and puts it into a highly
compressed .ratDVD container format file of about 1.x GB in size -
while preserving all the features of the original DVD such as: Full
anamorphic picture, seamless branching, multiple video angles, multiple
audio channels, subpictures, etc. Keep movie versions (Directors Cut,
Theatrical version, etc.), Alternate story endings, making of, video
commentary , cut scenes, etc. Keep complete menus, navigation and
features. Reliable high quality, valid check-summed container. You can
directly play back the .ratDVD file in Media Player - with all the
options the original DVD movie would give you. Just by double clicking
without the hassle of having to handle different files or the need to
use special programs. Since they have released the ratDVD playback
filters for everyones use it will probably be only a short time until
you can view ratDVDs with your favorite player. You like the DVD? Well,
you can simply convert it back to the original DVD format, burn it and
watch it on any DVD player - again without loosing any features!
