I just discovered a quite interesting thread at Pinstack forums concerning the BlackBerry Video Creator which we exclusively reviewed here at BlackBerryInsight. As our review’s conclusion was quite positive the customer opinions there were 1000 times better that ours. So here some quotes from the thread:

So I bought the program [there is no trial version] installed it and gave it a whirl. I have to say I was super surprised at how easy it is to work and the quality of the conversions.

Like I said, I converted the movie Scarface from DVD to AVI using Mobile Clone DVD. I opted to make the settings for highest quality.

That resulted in a 1.1 gigabyte file.

Then converted with BBVC.

That made it into a 380 MB file for the Pearl.

It has played perfectly on the Pearl and all the controls work as they should [volume, pause, stop, fast forward/rewind].

So for me, it was worth $15 for someone to make using mencoder a one-click process.

So you can make up your own mind. Heck, I think I spent over $500 in time in trying to make video conversions, so even if this program was a wash, I was prepared to pay $15 on the gamble that it would work.

Forgot to mention, the converted videos, those made with BB Video Creator did NOT have any lag when using the on screen video controls.

Recall my Super C 3GP conversions suffer lag, e.g., when pressing “stop” it would take 20 seconds for the video to stop.

There are also some screenshots we forgot to post but I guess the Pinstack user sanfrancisco allows us to show them here. They show how to convert a DVD movie (Pulp Fiction) to an AVI file you want to watch on your Pearl. Thanks from my side.
