Cinematize 3 Pro is the best-in-class software for extracting and converting clips from a DVD. Users can locate precise locations on the DVD and exportthem directly in file formats compatible with iPhone, iPad, H.264, and 3GP phone movie. The extracted segments can also be used in video editing software,as part of compilations on DVD, and as still pictures.

The complex process of DVD clip extraction has been simplified down to three steps. First, using the preview screen, the user selects the start and end pointsfor each clip, and selects the various settings (video codec, de-interlacing, audio sample size, output format, etc.). Second, additional clips, with the same ordifferent settings, are added to the Extraction List. Third, the Extract Data button is clicked and the conversion commences. $149.95 for the boxed version,$129.95 for the download.
