The Cucusoft people built this suite by combining two packages, their DVD to iPod Converter and their iPod Movie Video Video Converter. With this combined package, you can convert both DVD media and video file media.

This package is one of the best software conversion packages we tested. It works quickly. Some programs require two steps, one to convert video to hard disk, the second to convert from hard disk to MP4 and MP3 formats. But this package does it in one step, so the program works very fast. It also produces high quality video and sound, it's quick, it's easy and it's reliable.

Ease of Operation
If you are a beginner, you'll love how simple it is to use this program: you put a DVD into your disk drive, start the program, type in a title, and click on Convert. The program takes over and does the rest. You can convert movies within minutes after you download and install the package.

If you are a more advanced user, you can customize rather than go with the defaults, and use some of the options; for example you can select audio track (e.g. English, or French), you can select subtitles (e.g. French, or Spanish), you can use drag and drop, it all works flawlessly.

Free Updates for Life
Cucusoft is always improving its various packages including this one, and you can get updates free of charge for life.

Support
The support is very good, but over the past three years we've found that occasionally they're a bit overwhelmed (they are one of the biggest sellers on the market), and a reply may take a bit longer than one would have hoped. However, there's a good step-by-step help guide. It's really unlikely that you ever need help with this package, but we tried and we found them pleasant and helpful.

Value for Money
This package is well worth the money. You get two software packages that  separately are priced at $29.95 each, a $59.90 value, for only $39.95. There are cheaper packages out there, but you really get a lot more value for very little more money.

Conclusion

We are very impressed with this package's ease of use, its speed, and its general stability. It is a fast, reliable, user-friendly package that we confidently recommend. Buy it and we know you will have no regrets.

Additional Information
(Screens and Procedures)

Cucusoft's Suite is easy to operate if you just go with the default settings, yet for the more experienced, it offers a number of options. There are three main interfaces, the initial opening screen, a screen to deal with DVD conversion, and a screen to deal with Video conversion. There are other screen and pop-ups not shown here.

When you first open the package by clicking on the desktop icon (placed there at download), the opening screen shown in Figure 1 below appears.

To Convert Disks

Run your cursor over the top button to get the four choices listed in the picture above.

As soon as you click on the top button, the screen shown in Figure 2 below appears. (Click on the thumbnail picture to enlarge it, then click on  your browser's Back button to return to this page).
Here you specify your input files and output files, specify subtitle, audio track and crop options (normally you would go with the default values), and you can control other settings by clicking the 'Settings' tab.

Now you just click on the 'Convert' button, sit back and watch the drama unfold on the screen in the upper right as the movie is being converted.

As soon as you click on this middle button, up pops the screen shown in Figure 4 below. You will find the operations here similar to those described above. They are self-explanatory and very easy. Set things up, click on 'Convert' and the program takes over.

To Exit

To exit, press the bottom button on the blue opening screen

These are the three main interfaces.  We found this program essentially self-explanatory, so running it was not difficult at all. The interfaces are large and clear, easy to read as well as easy to understand. We have no doubt that you, too, will find this program easy to operate. You will be on your way to convert disks within minutes after download. To download this package now, click on the Buy button below.
