3.1.3.38d (Jul 17, 2008)
Version 3.1.2.34 fixes many bugs and most importantly the previously incomprehensible episode TEXT editor has been changed to allow easy formatting of Main Menu TITLE. EPISODE, and CHAPTER menus. A most welcome addition is the MENU templates allowing different formats for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10 episodes in a few minimal colors and with no maudlin or cutesy "sunset" or "kitty-cat" themes as on other DVD converters.
Another great feature is the ability to choose thumbnail video snippets for the background, and most impressively the chapter headings.
The Text and Subtitle editors are fairly intuitive, speed of conversion is just as quick as before (45 minutes for a 2 hour film on a P4 3.2 w/2GB RAM).
VSO has outdone itself with ConvertXtoDVD 3.xxx, easier and much quicker than anything by Xilisoft, Nero, and the other usual suspects (whicch can take several hours to convert 1 or 25min AVIs.
Should mention too that MKV (Matroska) files work just as quickly, and subtitles no longer give VonvertX the hiccups that 2.xxx sometimes suffered.
Also, a great new feature is the ability to add additional Audio tracks, and accepts a wider variety of subtitle formats.
One of two tiny bugs noted in the Chapter section (you have to enter the thumbnail time for chapter 4 twice, since the first doesn't take), but this is a minor quibble and I'm certain they'll fix it.
I've been a avid user of ConvertX for two years and V3.xxx is exactly what I've been hoping for to make truly professional-looking DVDs frpm films to ANIME series.
Kudos to VSO! Highest rating.
