Spruce DVD Maestro ........ Does it still exist?

[Kukabara]

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows where can I get a copy of Maestro, I tried every where. If I can't find this than is there anything else I could use? So far using Decrypter I've ripped the DVD-9, used DVD2AVI to separate the audio, using TMPG re-encoded the video now ChapterXtractor but how am I going to find Maestro? ..... anyone.

Rock and a hard place.

It is a discontinued product - you cannot buy it.

And no-one here will recommend the alternative such as grabbing from a peer-to-peer network such as Kazaa ( ) as that is illegal.

So, sorry, but we can't help.

Thanks nerdboy69 ...... you've been great, I'm sure I'll be able to find another way gee only if Kazaa was legal, if you know what I mean
cheers

There are actually a lot of people out there that are selling the Maestro software used, not new. Keep an eye out on e-bay, sometimes copies pop up there. Also Apple bought out the Spruce Maestro program, and fom the first looks it seems that the new DVD Studio Pro 2 is very similar in a lot of aspects to DVD Maestro. IF you have a Mac it would definately be worth checking out. I think it will be released sometime this summer.


Update:
Just took a quick look on E-bay and there are a couple copies there right now.
