ratDVD 0.78.1444

Publisher's Description:

ratDVD takes a full featured DVD 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 also convert a .ratDVD file back to DVD format, burn it to a DVDR and watch the movie using a regular DVD player. It does not support copy protected media directly but it allows to use decrypted content (e.g. from DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, etc.).

You can directly play back the .ratDVD file - 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.

Re:wingo's comment You mean like Divx 6, that in one file you can have menus, and a movie, just like a dvd. It more supported than ratdvd as well.

re: jose comment. it doesn't matter if any other compression is better than ratDVD if they aren't portable 1 file. this is the simple reason they do this program, it IS NOT intended for jose who only wants the movie. i still find this usefull for some projects. i'm surprised that noone just steal the ratDVD idea 1 file (divx-xvid/whatever) with extras and everything.

Don't waste your time. As an earlier user mentions you get better results in a tighter package with xvid codecs. You may not get the dvd extras but then again it's the movie you want anyway. 4 hours to down sample is a pain for the end result. Right no in ISO mode I can burn about 6, or 7 high quality xvid full movies, almost indistinguishable from dvd quality when done right,on a dvd-r,and playback with a Divx capable dvd player. Much more usable for what most people want to do. If you really need the extras ratdvd will do, but only just considering what you're giving up. When dvd players start supporting this format, which may be why they chose the proprietary route to begin with, AND the quality of the video matches or excedes that of a quality Divx encode, I'll give it a thumbs up.
