    It is so well suited for transcoding DVDs to video files. I have never had it not work on any DVD. It can read anything. It does a great job batching multiple videos on a DVD. It does not do a great job in converting one type of video file to another type of video file. The speed is also slower than other options on the market.

    For any company that wants to use more video in their content and marketing overall, PlayPlay is your best bet. Anyone can make a video--no expertise required. Honestly, it's really fun to do, and you feel like a creative genius afterward! If you are making long-form videos or need something for a TV commercial, PlayPlay doesn't make sense. But you can absolutely take snippets from other video projects and break them into smaller videos. That's what we love to do. Also, they just launched a podcast tool to help podcasters use video to promote their episodes.

    • Product is very easy to use; I got a little stuck on changing font colors with text
    • Automatic subtitling is amazing, but you do need to adjust the words per screen

    Handbrake Video Transcoder does the best job on the market of DVD scanning, transcoding, and batch processing. Other options on the market do not scan DVDs and throughly, reliably, or with the ability to batch all of the video segments. Other software costs a lot more and does not perform as well as Handbrake Video Transcoder with a variety of DVDs.
