CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover--or at least by its title. As you'd expect, AVI to VCD SVCD DVD Converter converts video and allows you to preview the source and output files. But except for letting you change the file size and switch the format between NTSC and PAL, it has no additional features to speak of. Using the trial version to convert large files is a waste of time, since the demo adds a large watermark across the center of the output. If you just need to convert AVIs to various forms of MPEG, AVI to VCD SVCD DVD Converter can do the trick, but those who crave even the most minimal features have plenty of other options.

"poor at best, keep looking..."

by godopolis on December 23, 2007

Cons: Tedious shareware in a crowded market, the free version is useless as only 5 mins of your movie is converted. the interface makes it hard for one to write these files to the place you want. and the inbuilt media player has minimal codecs, therefore your vids may not be played, and they are at a very poor quality

"yep the previous guy was right its crap"

by sonnyobriain on April 20, 2009

Pros: cant think of one.....

Cons: did not work nor did it play back any video in the preview screen. It will also claim to put a watermark on the video unless you purchase some package but it doesnt really matter since it didnt even work.....
