    "Worked fine to convert from mov to mp4"

    March 28, 2013  |   By dabunting

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    It worked flawlessly, easily, quickly on the 3 videos I needed convert

    Cons

    None but should mention I didn't test change of resolution or frame rate.

    Summary

    Worked fine to convert mov to mp4, though I didn't change resolution or frame rate so can't say anything about those capabilities. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I didn't test these capabilities.

    "AWESOME, simply awesome!"

    February 12, 2013  |   By BiffT

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    Does exactly what it says, audio, video - and outputs in nearly every format. Very simple, and where do I send my donation? Output is flawless.

    Cons

    Can be slow, but depends on file types, and slow=quality.

    Summary

    I would pay for this application. I can not tell you how many BS apps I have downloaded from CNET in the last 14 years that have just turned out to be pure trash. This thing is a full fledged utility workhorse, and they should be charging for it. Leave a comment where to send the money and I will send it.

    "Works even better than VLC"

    February 2, 2013  |   By Candye_Man

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    Plays all kinds of video files. Lots of different conversion options. Performs good-looking exports. And it's free!

    Cons

    The "Remove" button doesn't seem to work when you want to remove a file from the list of source files to be converted. This can be a problem if you accidentally put the wrong file in the list and want to delete it. The workaround is to quit FLV Crunch, re-start it with an empty source files box, and repopulate the box with the files you do want to convert.

    Summary

    My compliments to the creator. I had two files downloaded from the internet which had an odd problem. In QuickTime, Movist, MPEG Streamclip and other programs, the two clips played for five minutes each -- but in VLC they turned out to be 30 minutes long each!

    I wanted to export them to another file format so I could play them in QuickTime or any other program for the full 30 minutes -- but of course VLC doesn't do file-to-file conversions. I tried all kinds of other programs. FLV Crunch was the first and only app that would both play the full movies and export them to another format as well. I converted my two files to .mp4s, and they look great.

    Many thanks!

    "Not as good on my new iMac"

    January 12, 2013  |   By docdss

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    Works well on most formats.

    Cons

    Some WMZ files did not convert well into other formats no matter what format you try to convert to.

    Summary

    I just got my brand new 27 inch iMac, with all the trimmings. I switched from a PowerPC Mac laptop. It worked fine on my laptop, but on my new iMac after I've converted the video but I tried to open up the video it opened up the conversion program, instead of video. I tried reopening it several times but the same thing kept happening. I tried with other videos that I recently downloaded and converted, but it did the same thing on all of them. I wound up deleting the program, and I'm going to try downloading again from my new Mac to see if that makes a difference. I will keep you posted if I have better luck.

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    Does what it says, and quickly.

    Cons

    Some people were worried about quality, but it at least says that it can maintain original quality (which I found to be the case).

    "If you love crappy output, this is for you!"

    August 28, 2012  |   By johnnydome

    Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0

    Pros

    Works easily, very intuitive, installs fast, it's free, all kinds of formats in and out.

    Cons

    Quality is extremely bad. I converted a MOV file to a WMV file. Same exact res, size, frame rate, etc. It was pretty bad, about the worst conversion I've seen. Not usable for anyone who is even close to professional.

    Summary

    Not worth the time to download.
