CNET Editors' review
GOM Encoder offers to convert a variety of video files into a more usable format, especially for portable viewing devices. This program was professional and simple throughout, which made it a delight to operate.
The program's interface has a high-quality design that makes it smooth to navigate. Its clearly labeled commands meant we never felt confused or needed to consult the Help file's instructions. The program breaks down the process of conversion into a few simple steps with little opportunity for diversion, an aspect that made it welcoming for all skill levels. We simple plucked our favorite videos from our hard drive and chose new file types. We love how the new file type options display what device they work with; for example: MP4s for iPods and cell phones, WMV for Internet streaming, and so on. The actual conversion process took only a few seconds for a minute-long video and it maintained the original's content and quality. In fact, the entire process, from start to finish, took only a few minutes, which was fantastic. The program also offered many special features, though they focus on customizing video bit rates and quality and will likely appeal mostly to expert users. With its easy functions and many features, GOM Encoder proved to be a fine choice for all skill levels.
GOM Encoder is available for unlimited use, although with a watermark. Its ability to smoothly convert files and cater to all skill levels makes this a program we recommend.
