• "OSS Media Converter Pro"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: OSS Media Converter Pro 5.6.0.3

In spite of its multiple functionalities, this suite of media tools falters due to an inefficient interface and serious stability problems. As you'd likely guess from its name, this utility converts audio and video files among a number of popular formats. It also has a couple of extra tricks up its sleeve, including the abilities to extract sound and individual frames from video clips. However, after installing OSS Media Converter Pro, we were surprised to find that each feature has its own separate interface and desktop shortcut. We don't understand why all four tools couldn't have been combined into one main window. The audio converter supports large batches of files, lets you specify sound quality, and includes a basic recording utility. We had no problem plucking out sound from movies, but both the video converter and decompiler gave us run-time errors when we tried to launch them. We eventually got the latter to work, but we were never able to successfully use the conversion app. Therefore, we can't fully evaluate or recommend OSS Media Converter Pro.

  "Very poor experience with product and company."

  by briankangaroo on May 30, 2005

  Pros: This product worked fine as a limited demo

  Cons: (in Win XP)When I purchased it, uninstalled the demo and installed the version they gave me, it failed to load (and ever since). Reverting didn't help and 18 emails with tech support produced their standard response, "reinstall it." No reply after requesting money back.

  "Great."

  Summary: It extracts the audio from the video files and saves it in audio files with any extension. This is exactly what I need.
