Portable media players have become very popular today and they require in most cases specialized formats for audio files and video files. That puts you into the situation of having to search for one of those of all-in-one conversion software tools that can help you obtain your favorite files in the required format by the player.

  

The Ultra DVD to MP4 Converter is one of the many converters that can help you achieve such goals. With an intuitive interface and a rather simple menu, this conversion tool can transcode the DVD movies into smaller and high-quality videos, at a very fast ripping speed.

  

What is interesting about the Ultra Converter is that it can rip DVDs with protection like CSS, Region, Macrovision, Sony Arccos. If you create copies of the DVDs – you can take them with you on your laptop or pocket PC during long trips, at school, at work – without having to take the actual discs with you.

It is highly convenient for beginner users as they can just leave the settings at default values and still be satisfied with the results. You can also play around with the advanced output settings so it is useful for professionals as well.

 

Among some of the most important features is that it takes full advantage of the new CPU dual-core processing power (Intel Dual-Core and AMD Athlon™ 64 X2) – that is one of the reasons why the DVD ripping is fast. It can also remove all the restrictions of the DVD (like the region limitation setting). You can adjust the output volume value – just in case your DVD doesn’t sound loud enough.

Applicability:
 The Ultra Converter can turn DVDs into the following types of files: avi (DivX), avi (Xvid), wmv (Windows Media Video), asf (Advanced Streaming Format), MP4 (mpeg 4 video), iPod mp4 video, iPod Video2 mp4, PSP MPEG-4 format, 3gp (3rd Generation Partnership Project), Archos AV500 avi, Archos AV700 avi, Creative Zen Vision avi, iRiver PMP-100 avi,  Apple TV MPEG-4 mp4, Xbox360 wmv, Xbox360 MPEG-2 PS Format mpg, mp3 audio, wma (Windows Media Audio) and M4A (MPEG-4 Audio).

Pro(s): The codecs are embedded into the application and so you just need to install it and run the conversion tool without installing other software. Like I said above, the converter does benefit from the power of the dual-core CPU – so it will take much less time to rip DVDs when compared to other similar pieces of software out there.

Con(s): Although it offers very good results, the quality of the converted files could use some improvements and optimizations. The price should lower down a bit.
