Feature set (5/5)

The PQ DVD to Zune video converter suite fully supports hardware video accelerator cards, which is especially useful at playback time.

Both included programs (PQ DVD to Zune converter and PQ Zune Movie Video Converter, which are also available separately) are fully compatible with the latest high resolution format (H.264 HQ, MPEG-4 encoding, 640×480 pixels).

The suite also supports the DTS Surround and Dolby sound specifications, and is capable of converting most popular audio files into Zune audio.

Perhaps the best of this program’s capabilities is its ultra high speed process. Indeed, the PQ DVD to Zune Video Converter Suite is one of the fastest converter suites available in the market. PQ claims that this package is capable to rip a DVD into Zune video format up to 4 times faster than any other application; and although we did not experience such superiority, it was very clear to us that this is one of the fastest Zune encoder.

The user can select the audio and subtitle tracks, the output file size, the aspect ratio and resolution and also the number of resulting files (for several partial output video files), and all that can be done prior to conversion.
