CNET Editors' review
Aura Free Video Converter offers to crisscross video formats in a matter of seconds. We were able to easily change the file type of our videos with this impressive program.
Its interface was welcoming, even though we had limited experience with videos and file conversion. Its helpfully labeled commands practically walked us through the entire process and never left us feeling as if we needed the Help file's instructions. Once we'd picked the videos we wanted to convert, we were able to choose from nearly 20 file formats to convert them into. The file types are broken down into categories of personal viewers, standard video formats, and audio formats. This was pretty much Aura's only variable, and it made the conversion incredibly easy. It quickly converted one type to the other, and the new file maintained the original's length, quality, and content. The program breaks down the process into simple steps so even inexperienced users can quickly convert all sorts of files. We were disappointed in its lack of substantial features, though it does offer an upgrade that adds the ability to rip and burn DVDs--for a price, of course. Overall, this was a surprisingly easy program that practically anyone can use.
Aura Free Video Converter is a free program. It leaves files behind after uninstalling. Its simple operation and excellent results make this converter a program we recommend.

"Installed games programs I never wanted"
Version: Aura Free Video Converter 1.6.1
Pros
None - I wasted time uninstalling apps I didn't want
Cons
Too many to list
Something that puts gaming apps that you never asked for, are hard to install, that potentially compromise your computer = terrible.Summary
AVOID

"Total fraud and junk"
Version: Aura Free Video Converter 1.6.1
Pros
None. I can see no legitimate use anyone would have for it.
Cons
Fake. It tries to trick you into installing toolbars and other junk, and then doesn't even do what it ways, only shows conversion between different mp4 versions, and even then runs in demo unless you pay them.
Summary
It's fake, fraudulent junkware.

"It's good enough..."
Version: Aura Free Video Converter 1.5
Pros
You can download video from some websites, and you have a later option to convert to many popular formats.
It can cut video so you can remove anoying add ons from other users.Cons
Video crop and resize is not working as supposed or have not been able to figure how to make any video go full screen (no black bars)
Developers should check this out or explain how to go on this.Summary
Depending on how complex job you want to perform, this one works stable and adware or anoying add ons free. I will keep it!

"If you are looking for a free program, this is not it."
Version: Aura Free Video Converter 1.4.0
Pros
The program seems rather intuitive and easy to use, but it is not free.
Cons
It's not free. You can only rip a few minutes unless you purchase the program.
Summary
If I were in the market for a paid ripper, this might be the the one. But I am not and have wasted my time.
