Welcome!



Welcome to Media Cleaner Pro 2.0, the most powerful and easy-to-use dynamic media processing and compression utility available!

Media Cleaner is a program that helps you transform your uncompressed movies and sounds into high-quality compressed files for playback on the Internet, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or kiosk.



Why the name change?

We changed the name from "Movie Cleaner" to "Media Cleaner" because version 2.0 handles more media types than just QuickTime movies. Future releases of Media Cleaner will continue to expand the number of architectures and formats supported.



What about Web-Motion?

Our first plug-in, Web-Motion, is now fully integrated into Media Cleaner Pro 2.0. We did this for two reasons.

First, our users kept telling us they wanted an "all-in-one" solution, which Media Cleaner Pro now offers. Second, we firmly believe that making movies for the Web is now a normal part of everyday multimedia. As such, we feel that web functionality correctly belongs in Media Cleaner, not in a separate plug-in.

Now everyone who owns Media Cleaner gets the full advantage of the Web-Motion features, including the easy-to-use interview, lower data rate controls, more powerful adaptive noise reduction, HTML generation, and more.



What's new?

Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 has a host of new features. These include:
