ratDVD v0.75.1331


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
