"All the program did was launch a web page"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
None. None. None.
Cons
All this program does is open a web page.
Summary
I ran the program which seemed to display something useful, but then asked me to download codecs. So I did. When I tried the program from the desktop icon, all it did was take me to the Oxelon home page. Not very useful, and certainly not what was advertised. Maybe it was an accident, but I'm very suspicious of this company, and am very sorry I downloaded the codecs (who knows what they really were!).

"Lame and Does Not Work as Advertised"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
None for me.
Cons
Doesn't work as advertised.
Summary
Installed this SPECIFICALLY to convert VOC files which it say that it does in the narrative above, on it's website, and even in the program itself! Then when I load a VOC file, it states that it is "unsupported"!

"Good program, should be rated higher"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
The context menus lets you pick what file you want to convert on the fly! I found myself using this feature a ton. It features a good variety of conversion formats and is relatively straightforward/easy to use.
Cons
After converting a file it automatically pops up the Oxelon website (can easily be turned off in the settings menu). Conversion process takes 100% cpu while converting, but the conversion is fast (120mb video file in just a few seconds).
Summary
This program is great when used with Orbit downloader (also found on download.cnet.com).
A tip when converting files: If you are converting videos to mp4 format for your ipod, you may want to right-click the original file (the one you want to convert) go to properties > then go to the details tab. If you match the data rate of the original file to the "Bitrate (kbits/sec)" section of the video section, and do the same with the audio bitrate section, your converted file should be roughly the same size as the original. If you try to make a 192kbps audio file into a 320kbps audio file, you will get a bigger file, but the audio quality won't increase (aka waste of space).
Hopefully in the future the developers will have a feature that automatically detects the bitrates of the file, so user's don't accidentally over-convert a file, resulting in unnecessary big files. -
"Best Free Video Converter Ever"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
Free, Can encode audio and video separately, Has a lot of different file type capabilities. Fast and Efficient. NO WATERMARK
Cons
When you close the program, it opens your web browser to wwwDOToxelonDOTcom.
Summary
Best free video converter I've ever used. While you can find other free converters, they usually put a watermark on your video, unless you upgrade to the "Pro Version". This program doesn't do that.

"Worked great for one day"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
Worked great for one day.
Cons
Worked great for one day then started crashing every time I tried to convert anything. Even crashed on files it had previously converted.
Summary
If Oxelon comes up with a stable version it would be great, as it is now don't bother.

"Good but has too many requirements by default"
Version: Oxelon Media Converter 1.1
Pros
Converts almost anything (video) in same quality or a little lesser quality
Cons
The app uses about 80% of your pc's memory! That means you cant even open up windows explorer without wondering how much space is left on your hard drive
Summary
Y'all need to do something about that Oxelon!!!! Fix the memory its uses by default or configure it to ask how much memory you want to use on each conversion. Still a good app tho
