    "Terrible quality after converting"

    August 12, 2012  |  

    Pros

    It was relatively easy to use.

    Cons

    I converted some .MOD video files from my video camera to both the MPG and MP4 file format. Both conversions were lower quality than the original. What's the point of converting a file if it will just lose its original quality?

    I also am displeased with how the ASK toolbar was automatically included in my Mozilla browser as well as resetting the homepage. This is hijacking and should be illegal. It also did this to my IE browser, but it was easy to uninstall. Unfortunately, it looks like I may have to reinstall Firefox to get rid of the ASK junkware.

    This Format Factory software is garbage and I'm sending it straight to my Delete bin as soon as I finish typing this review.

    Summary

    Garbage, hijacked my browsers, poor conversion quality.
