The digital software firm, Miraizon, has enhanced its DVD movie clip extractor, Cinematize 2.

The technology can be used to create film files to play on either iPod video or Playstation Portable (PSP) devices, streamlining the process into a single step.

This is achieved by the addition of new output formats, namely Apple’s H.264-based iPod video format for iPod and the MPEG-4 format for iPod, PSP, and web.

Other improvements have been made in the areas of compression colour control, the handling of DV Stream export, as well as several fixes.

David Salamon, Miraizon CEO, said: “The latest versions of Cinematize 2 make it an ideal companion product for the iPod, allowing users to easily extract favourite music or movie clips off of DVDs and transfer them over for listening or viewing on an iPod.

“The new Cinematize 2 also makes viewing DVD video clips on a PSP and sharing DVD movie clips on the web very easy.”

The most recent version of Cinematize 2 is available from the Miraizon website, and there are also demos available for new customers.
