Positives and Negatives:
While using this program a number of points both positive and negative came up. These are listed below for easy reference.
Positives:
- Quick and easy to use
- Allows you to take any part of the DVD out as a separate smaller video or audio segment
- Can also make use of secondary angles and subtitles on the disc
- Can use plugins to enhance the functionality of the output formats
Negatives:
- Can’t individual setup each segment for different encodings in one session
- No estimated time or estimated needed space notices
Conclusion:
This is a very good application. It easily lets to do anything with the DVD that you want it to. If you wanted to remove on scene from a DVD for your presentation or home movie you can do. It will even allow you to take segments of Audio and output them without the video. This is great for songs that are found in movies.
Having said that you will need additional tools to first of all get your movie onto your hard drive without any copy protection to have that program can then play with it. So in addition to that you have to wonder about the legal side of this application. It does allow you to remove a song that you like from a movie DVD and put it onto your generic MP3 player. Is this then classed as stealing the song? I think that is one for the lawyers.
The final thing I find is that to me it feels little bit like a Mac program running in Windows rather than a program designed to everything that it can do in the windows environment. This isn’t a bad thing per say but just something that nags at me.
The price of Cinematize Pro 2 can be found on the website. At the time of going press it is priced as follows.
- Downloadable Version – Windows 2000 / XP – US$129.95
- Boxed Version - Windows 2000 / XP – US$149.95
- Backup CD-Rom Windows 2000 / XP – US$9.95
The price to me is not aimed so much at the general public but more to web developers. However if you are looking for a DVD movie clip extractor then this is certainly up there with the best.
Overall I would have to say that this is a great application if you want to encode to the QuickTime or Mac standards.

Need to embolden the links to the Miraizon and Cinematize websites though. And there seems to be an issue with the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page, sometimes don't load correctly in the Firefox 2.0
