• Automatic black bar (letterbox) removal. For all conversions, DVD Catalyst 3 can remove black bars. It doesn't matter what kind of screen your device has, movies will always look full screen.
• Unique 1-click interface. While a WIZARD-like program is helpfull for the first 2 conversions, clicking through each option every time you convert a DVD gets anoying after a few conversions. DVD Catalyst 3 is uniquely designed to convert movies with as little clicks as possible. All your settings can be remembered, and after one conversion, you never have to play with the settings again. You can even set it up to start a conversion automatically whenever a new DVD or video file is found.
• Supported devices. Includes an ever expanding list of conversion profiles for all the popular devices on the market, including Pocket PC, Smartphone, XBOX 360, Playstation3, PSP, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPhone, AppleTV, Archos, Zen. If your device is not listed, just email us the specifications of your device, and we'll do what we can to make it work. There is no need to purchase the same program for other devices.
• Multi-Device queue. DVD Catalyst 3 is the ONLY application on the market that allows you to queue up as many devices as you want for conversions. If you have a variety of devices and you want to watch movies on all of them, DVD Catalyst is your best choice. Queue up your iPhone, the Wife/Daughters Nano and your son's PSP in DVD Catalyst 3, pop in a DVD and click 'Go'.
• Converts from DVDs, ISOs and Video files. Whatever format your video content is in, DVD Catalyst supports it. Convert from AVC, H264, MP4, DIVX, XVID, WMV, 3GP, MPEG, AVI, MPEG4, TiVo, DVR-MS (SD), TS, FLV, ISO, MDF and more.

• Automatic batching. Multiple DVD drives, video files, video folders are all automatically queued up for conversion. You can even have DVD Catalyst 3 monitor your Video Recording folders (from MediaCenter, TiVo desktop etc) to check for new files whenever they are available.
• Automatic (0 Click) conversion. You can have DVD Catalyst automatically start a conversion when a DVD is inserted; a new video file is added to your folders. All of the options in DVD Catalyst 3 can be set for automatic mode, including cropping and language/subtitle selections. You can have it run automatically when your computer starts up, so you never have to see the program again. Install it on a Home Theatre PC (HTPC) and when it's done with a DVD, it will be ejected without ever having to click a button.
• Can handle more DVDs than before. No need for additional software (AnyDVD is not needed)
• Complete freedom. While the default settings in DVD Catalyst 3 provide a good quality video file, you can (if you want) change every aspect of the conversion to your needs. One Pass/Two-Pass, Framerate, Screensize, Volume, Birghtness, Contrast and more, are all adjustable and changes will be remembered the next time you run DVD Catalyst 3

EarMan

EarMan, by RoGame Software, has been updated to version 2.3.

Ear Training to Go

One of the most important skills for musicians of any kind is the ability to correctly identify intervals by ear. Ear training is therefore a substantial building block of any kind of music education. Typically practicing this skill happens during class or with a private tutor and takes some time. EarMan is a tool that can enhance proficiency in ear training and can aid greatly in the process of advancing in this difficult subject.

The program offers a way for �spot learning� where specific interval sets can be practiced in specific ranges. This can be used to focus on weaknesses. Every session is graded in once completed. In addition EarMan offers a complete curriculum that trains the user step by step from correctly identifying simple intervals in limited groups to the full range including compound intervals.

EarMan uses RoGame�s sound library and includes a Grand Piano library for playback on devices with Palm OS 5.0 and higher. Intervals are shown in grand staff notation to aid the learning process. Interval sets include complementary intervals. The interface for the application has been designed to be free from distractions so that one can fully concentrate on the sound.

Also available at a reduced rate as part of Music Bundle Gold.

Features:

• all intervals
• compound intervals
• selectable ranges
• included curriculum
• automatic grading
• realistic piano sound
• compatible with RoGame's sound library
