Additional Comments Overall very easy to use and straight forward.  Conversion time was fast. You end up downloading 2 applications, Xilisoft Blu Ray Ripper, and Xilisoft Creator. The first converts to vob files, and the second does the DVD video authoring: adding the chapters, menus, etc.  Software did bug out a few times, and I could not add files from hard drive - only optical drive.  Lack of file selection help, and result of playability of final disks are weakest points of the product. Only product including its own decyptor. The software was easy to use but weak point remains playability of disk.  Very simple and easy to use.  The software only converts to  NTSC format but played on all the players tested.  Software does not exist other than in english. Overall not bad expect not much help provided for selecting main movie files.  Software did bug out a few times.
