With GreatVideo! Digital Video Converter you can:

  • Read and Convert VR format DVD video recorder files
  • Convert recorded DVD Video Discs in VR format to 21 QuickTime™ compatible formats!

Fast and Easy File Conversion
Version 1.2 converts VR files to usable video and audio files on your Mac fast and easy:

1. GreatVideo!'s UDF file system driver component("ReadDVD!™) automatically mounts VR format discs on the Apple desktop" for standard point-and-click file access using Finder.

2. Open the .VRO file in GreatVideo!, Select the specific video format desired.

3. Select the destination disk drive, and start the conversion. GreatVideo! automatically de-multiplexes the video and udio tracks, converts the video file to the desired format and writes the files to the selected target disk drive.

The video is displayed as it is converted, and a progress bar indicates time to completion.

When converted, the movie file can be used by any Apple or third party software that supports QuickTime™.

About the VR Format
Unlike standard movie DVD discs that use the DVD Video file format, DVD video recorders and DVD camcorders record live video to the DVD “VR”(video recording) file format, a different format specified by the DVD Forum for recorded video applications. Native Apple File system readers do not recognize VR format discs. GreatVideo! includes ReadDVD! SAI’s OSTA Compliant UDF file system reader that supports DVD VR and DVD Vidoe format discs, plus all versions of UDF.

Support for Third Party File Applications, Formats and Disk Drives
Great Video! supports all classes of third party DVD drives, including DVD-ROM, DVD Multi, DVD-RAM/R, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W and dual mode DVD-R/W+R/W drives.
Great Video! uses QuickTime™ as a conversion platform to convert files to traditional video formats readable by most popular video editing, authoring and playing software, including Apple Final Cut Pro™ and Adobe Premier™.

Advanced Features
Advanced features include selecting the compression rate, number of key frames per second, bit rate, and color as allowed by specific video formats. Version 1.2 includes support for Apple’s “Altivec” technology for enhanced computational performance on G4 processor based systems. This saves time when converting large video files.

Compliant with Industry Standards
GreatVideo! is compliant with DVD Forum specifications for Real Time Recording DVD Video Files (VRO video files), and the OSTA (Optical Storage Technology Association) specifications for UDF formats. Version 1.2 supports all DVD Forum specification drives, media and formats.
