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.

"Did the job but took ages"
Version: Aura Video Converter Free 1.3.9
Pros
Needed to convert a VR mode DVD to Video mode. Worked successfully, generating the DVD on the hard disc with just a single button click.
Cons
Interface not as informative as would have been helpful for a new user. No obvious indication of how many passes or how long the conversion would take.
I couldn't see how to burn a converted DVD directly so I then had to use a separate program to write the DVD!Summary
Probably a very useful program with lots of scope but unless you're a regular user it really needs more obvious explanation of what the potential options will do.
