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.

"Warning - Malware!"
Version: Freemake Video Converter 3.1.1.3
Pros
Had to uninstall.
Cons
The program has malware, as identified by my Webroot SecureAnywhere software. The following was the offending item.
c:\users\david_lt\appdata\roaming\opencandy\94351ca83fb946559fe0ef0114b44a4a\scudownloader.exe
Install at your own risk.Summary
I've used Download.com for >10 years. This is the 1st time I've hit malware on any of their downloads.

"Version 3.1.1.3"
Version: Freemake Video Converter 3.1.1.3
Pros
With all of the converter software out there it all comes down to ease and beauty of the gui. This is the best of both worlds. Friendly gui with great picture icons for beginners, but also customizable for advanced users.A lot of extras such as toolbar and such that I never use, but at least it gives me the option to "uncheck".
Cons
After install is finished an install automatically begins of something called Sendori,never asking you for permission.
Summary
Best I've used so far!
-
"Great stuff and totally free. Very easy to use."
Version: Freemake Video Converter 3.1.1.3
Pros
It's Free! When 10k others cost 20 or more dollars. Converting files is fast and easy at least on my PC. No problems whatsoever. I hope they improve the interface in the future but as is I still like it and will use it to convert all my files.
Cons
Not really any if you are AT ALL COMPETENT in installing your software.
Summary
My oh my you have to be an idiot to accept the toolbars and whatever else people advertise with their software. Seriously, go back to 3rd grade where they teach you to read competently. This installs nothing that will harm your computer. Decline all the ware they offer. That stuff is there because it funds their application. Good god.

Vidoe conversion seems to work although not fast
