Select the “Convert to iTunes” option, select between “Apple TV” format, “iPod Small (320x240)” and “iPod Large (640x480)” resolution format, and the software automatically converts the selected video files into the appropriate implementation of MPEG-4 optimized for use on the selected device. Select the “Add to iTunes” option and GreatVideo! automatically adds the video file to the iTunes play list that you pick.

GreatVideo!™ includes ReadDVD!™ for Macintosh OS 10.4!
Now supports Intel based Mac Systems

ReadDVD!™ UDF Reader Driver for Mac OS 10.4 mounts and reads all types of discs formatted in the UDF format, including the special Video Recording (VR) format discs created on DVD Camcorders and DVD Video Recorders.

If you are having trouble reading discs recorded on your consumer DVD video recorder, DVD Camcorder, Sony Mavica digital camera, or any discs formatted by third party software, then ReadDVD! will help you access your files without any hassle.

The software supports mounting and reading of recordable DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, MO, CD and other optical media formatted in UDF v1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 2.6, including data discs, DVD video discs recorded in VR format and Sony Mavica camera discs.

Solves Common DVD Video Recording Problem
Unlike pressed DVD Movie discs that can be read by the Mac OS, popular recordable DVD disc types that can be erased and re-written, such DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs, use the different VR format (video recording format) specification.

This format requires the ReadDVD! UDF file system reader to recognize the format, automatically mount the disc and present the files in Finder running on an OS X system.

ReadDVD! is the utility you need to access any UDF formatted media on your Mac OS X system.

Key Benefits:
• Easy to use: the ReadDVD! file system driver automatically mounts the disc on the Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4 Desktop (no application required).
• Powerful: reads all types of optical disc media formatted in the UDF format.
• Versatile: mounts and reads both data discs and VR DVD discs.
