Customer Feedback on DVFilm Maker and DVFilm Atlantis

DVFilm Maker and Atlantis are used by large entertainment companies like Laser Pacific and Industrial Light and Magic, as well as independent filmmakers from every corner of the world. Here are some comments emailed to us by our customers:

"I'm a film person so I have a very critical eye. But I downloaded your demo
program last night, and after extensive testing, I am sending you an order.
It really works well!"

- Stephen Brooks

"This little program of yours is a real gem. Given that most festivals accept
video screening copies now, it's possible to get a lot of movies out there for
next to no money at all. I'm going to be using it a lot in the next little while!"

"I've been stressing hard about trying to find a film look that would work,
and not destroy the quality of my original DV footage. I got to tell you,
I had bought Cinelook (very pricey by the way), and tried many times to
get SOME kind of decent looking result. Forget it. It just takes way too long
and winds up looking like bad cable reception. When I used your DVFilm
Maker product on my footage it blew me away! I started to dance a jig in
my editing room! I thought I should write an thank you for saving my project.
Now it has the cinematic integrity that it was always meant to have!

- Jeffrey Bunzendahl, Writer-Director, "Wilson Chance"



"I have decided to write to you to congratulate you on your Maker software.
I have finally done the processing of my feature (Yotama Se Va Volando)
and find the result greatly improved from the original. Bravo to you and to
all of your co-workers. Keep up your good work."


Luis Roche


"The transfered footage looks really beautiful, retaining much of its original richness.  
I tried it out on my nephew and he said, "it looks like a movie" rather than TV.  
I took a chance going PAL and relying on your software but now I couldn't
be more happy.  Thanks!"


- Jeff Gibbs (Field producer,composer, Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine.")



"I just downloaded and used Atlantis software to convert a short PAL
film into NTSC to go onto a DVD. What a wonderfully simple piece of
software that does exactly what it's supposed to do! I've had plenty of
frustrations trying to convert between PAL and NTSC using After Effects
and Final Cut Pro--it never came out looking right. With Atlantis, I
literally opened up my quicktime, selected one menu item, and it was
done. The footage looks beautiful on DVD. No weird interlace problems,
no stuttering, no time lag. Just perfect looking video. And I haven't
even started to play with any of the customizing features yet. Nice
work, guys.


- Harold Moss, FlickerLab

Just wanted to let you know that we rely on, and love, DVFilm Atlantis.
Well done and thanks.

Industry Reviews of DVFilm Maker and DVFilm Atlantis

"A very cool tool"

- Adam Wilt (www.adamwilt.com)

"You'll be more successful using 24p with 3:2 pulldown if you start with PAL footage rather than NTSC footage. One product to investigate is DVFilm Atlantis (www.dvfilm.com), software that converts PAL to NTSC 24p with a 3:2 pulldown."


"[DVFilm Maker] adds warming and uses smart deinterlacing to preserve detail in areas of the picture that don't move. The deinterlacing is clean and the effect is pleasing."

- How to Make Video Look Like Film by John Jackman, DV Magazine

"Using the DVFilm Maker utility is simplicity itself. It is a fantastic multipurpose tool at a bargain price. "

- Edit Review DVFilm Maker 1.06 by Steve Mullen, VideoSystems Magazine

"The best Standards Conversion package available, bar none. Forget ProCoder, After Effects or any of them - use this."
