Engelmann i-Studio

iPad and iPhone are cult, whether as player or as mobile phone. But can the iTunes store also be called cult? Or any other provider, who sees his chance in making a lot of money with short video clips and/or other DRM-protected content? Or system crashes, which together with the irretrievably lost licenses also destroyed those 'protected' music tracks, while the seller/provider refuses to renew the license?

Fortunately, Apple's best sellers not only support the iTunes protected AAC/M4P in the form of DRM-protected audio- or video files; they can also handle unprotected M4A-, M4V- or self-created MP4-videos. These are the best prerequisites for counting on the store of own collections instead of commercial providers and for creating the desired contents yourself - using the right program.

The right program is undoubtedly i-Studio 7, the desired contents can come from DVD-videos, nearly all common video files (e.g. DivX, HDX4 and WMV), audio-CDs, audio files (e.g. Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and WMA) as well as from a good deal of video clip platforms. i-Studio can handle an extraordinary wide range of source formats and generates MP3/M4A-songs or MP4-video files, which you can copy to iPod, iPod nano, iPod touch, AppleTV and/or your iPhone and which you can enjoy at school, on your way home, in the subway, openly in the living room or secretly in the cellar. Sole drop of bitterness: your iPod could belong to an old generation or be polarized to only music and not accept videos. Yet, that doesn't really matter since in this case you still have the pure music, which i-Studio extracts for you even from DVD-music videos - in the space-saving and well proven AAC-format and in full iPod-quality directly into your ears.

Files are transferred as usual with iTunes, the application which accompanied Apple's supremacy in the online music market from the very beginning and which the provider offers for free-of-charge download.

* i-Studio is not able to convert DVD-videos or other videos or audio-CDs that are equipped with an effective copy protection. Annoying, but it was not our idea and we cannot change it.
