Videomizer Highlights

Supported output formats: AVI, MPG, MP4 and WMV, among others with profiles for iPod, iPad, Android, PlayStation Portable and other devices.
Fully automatic batch mode for automated manipulation of several videos in a row!
Additional option for manual optimization!
The HDR-simulator helps to create amazingly HDR-similar modifications. HDR is known from photography and serves for creating high dynamic range images. You require, however, three images of the same subject with three different exposures. The VideoMizer creates a similar effect for your videos although it has to do with just one image per unit of time.
The scaling optimization, another distinctive feature of the program, guarantees that your videos are most efficiently shown on a certain display. If for example you have a portable media player like the Apple iPod, your videos are automatically adjusted to its display attributes for full screen mode – without disturbing black bars!

dotTech Advice

Videomizer is a software intended to “optimize” home videos, giving them a more “professional” look. Although it is intended for videos, it also does photos; and it has a built-in video format converter, too. Seeing as I don’t have any home videos/movies… I can’t really evaluate the software and provide any useful advice. (Sorry!) I ask that dotTechies that do test this software out share with the rest of us their experience in the comments below.
