CNET Editors' review
Freemake Video Converter is an application mainly for converting video files to other formats, but offers other converting and downloading features as well.
This application is a worthwhile download. The layout is very simple, making it easy to understand how to use it. Freemake offers a row of media buttons at the top and bottom of the window, which are labeled clearly and are simple to use. It is very easy to navigate the various steps required to convert videos and audio as well as download videos and audio from the Internet. The waiting time varies from one conversion job to the next, depending on the size and type. Converting a t3-minute audio file to MP3 can be done in less than a minute, while converting a 15-minute video to WMV can take over an hour and a half.
The program's Help pages are very good. The tutorials come with a short video as well as images which are very easy to understand. There seem to be a lot of hidden gems in this converter as well, such as a few editing features for videos and the ability to add subtitles to your videos when you rip them from your DVDs. You can also convert photos and have plenty of conversion options.

"Highly recommended"
Version: Freemake Video Converter 3.1.1.2
Pros
Have used several converters and so far this is the fastest. When I get more familiar with it I will try to determine how to burn two or more files on the same disk.
SPCons
Fast learning curve
Summary
This was my first review and I goofed under the CON category. Should have said none found, although it still goes what I said about very easy to learn.

"This program is great!"
Version: Freemake Video Converter 3.1.1.2
Pros
I have been able to convert every single file to the format I need. I have not had one problem-I love this thing. I even donated because it has been such a help for me. For free you can't do any better than this. I have not found any other free software of this type that works so beautifully and so simple.
Cons
I cannot think of any.
