I am working on a website that we take out TV Show make it into an IPOD, MP3 and MP4 and upload them.  The quality of the show now is poor and very tiny.

Many of my DVD's are PAL format and would not play her in the states.  AnyDVD took care of that problem in a heartbeat (make that 14 minutes).  Yes it removes trailers, and the dreaded FBI warning, but why wait the additional 10 minutes to see the movie you want to watch now!  SlySoft programes are a 1 year at a time deal.  Not bad considering I reformated my PAL disks, and old PAL & NTSC VHS encoded tapes through my computer into something worth watching again.  You do not have to buy it to enjoy it (free demo of AnyDVD is available at SlySoft)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weedeater1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2007 11:31AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
