The happy path
Drag a clip into the DropDone folder. Walk away — come back to a finished file.
… come back to the finished files
No app to open. No settings to tame.
While you're not looking
When a 4K HDR source meets an HD SDR target, the wider color range has to map into the narrower one. There are at least half a dozen ways to do that. Get it wrong and the highlights clip or the shadows mud. Picked for you.
Frame rate cadence is the same kind of trap. 23.976, 24, 29.97, drop-frame timecode — the math when source and target don’t match is unforgiving. Picked for you.
Chroma subsampling matched to use: 4:2:0 for the web, 4:2:2 when graphics work downstream needs the precision. Picked for you.
Audio left alone when you’re just copying channels, normalized to the right LUFS target when you’re re-encoding for streaming or broadcast. Picked for you.
Color space, frame rate cadence, audio loudness — every tricky decision a video tool throws at you. Picked for you.
Override any of them. You almost never need to.
One source. One job. One finished file.
“But I can only target one size per job?”
Yes, you can
One source. Same job. But the folder works through SD, HD, and 4K in turn — and when it’s done, it holds all three.
… same drop, same folder
Same drop, same folder. Three files.
And another thing
“What? I can just drop ISO files?”
Disc swaps are still your job — we can’t reach into your DVD drive. But once you’ve ripped them, drop the ISOs in. Same as anything else.
Most DVDs have one feature title — the only thing longer than 50 minutes. We find it. We transcode it. Picked for you.
Most DVDs have one feature title — over 50 minutes. We find it. We transcode it. Picked for you.
Drop the ISO. Get the MP4.
“But what if there are titles to concatenate?”
Even this
Most discs just work. When one’s ambiguous, we pause. You decide. We resume.
… we pause, you decide, we go
Even when it’s ambiguous, same drop.
Just a peek
What you just watched was a peek — the calm path through a handful of everyday jobs. Underneath it, almost nothing is fixed. Codecs, bitrates, color handling, audio targets, naming — every technical detail is yours to set, exactly to your requirements.
You can go deep and complicated. But we’re afraid that one thing will never change — the actual day-to-day use will be embarrassingly simple.
A peek, really. Underneath, every technical detail — codecs, bitrates, color, audio — is yours to set.
Go as deep as you like. But the day-to-day stays embarrassingly simple.
Drop. Done.
Talking about embarrassingly simple… next page is the pricing.

Questions nobody asked…
…but we'd like to answer anyway.
But what if Classic Link GmbH disappears one day?
Might never happen. But if it does, your DropDone keeps running. It doesn't phone home. It doesn't need our servers. The version you bought is the version you keep — nobody would even probably be there to charge the business users every year, so … 🤷
But what if I lose my license file?
Email us. We'll resend it.
But what if I want it on my laptop AND my desktop?
One person, multiple machines. Go ahead.
But what if I'm a freelancer — am I a business?
If you transcode more than 20 a day, yes. If not, no. The number tells the truth more reliably than the title.
But what if I hit 20 transcodes and need just one more?
Wait until midnight. Or upgrade. We don't pop up nagware mid-folder.
But what if I just want to thank you?
We read every email. Even nice ones.
