The Power Video Cutter is a tool for converting videos from one format to another and to perform simple editing to cut out part of a file and create a new file. While novice users might need to spend some time with the Help file before cutting files, the app proved easy to use.
The program's compact interface looks professional and clean, with large buttons to locate the source file and output directory. Nearly 20 file types are supported, including FLV, DVD, MP4, and AVI. The download process for acquiring videos off of YouTube is quick and they have an easy YouTube button to start up the process. There's also a large Cut button to snip out portions of a video, but while the process ultimately proved to be simple, less experienced users might need some guidance from the Help page, which gives clear directions for using this feature. Cutting and formatting times vary, depending on the size of the file. The wait time seemed reasonable, though, and the resulting file had the same quality as the original. We did find that the program can be a little jumpy and slow when you first start it up. Sometimes we would have to wait a few seconds before something we clicked responded. It seemed to work fine after a few minutes, though, and depending on your system, you may get a faster response time.
If you don't need access to any other video editing features, and just want to convert files and cut out specific portions, Power Video Cutter gets the job done.

"Totally useless"
Version: Power Video Cutter 5.2.1
Pros
None; the interface looks good.
Cons
Unless you buy the full version it doesn't do anything. It shows how it would work but you cannot save the results. Not intuitive and generates a lot of errors. My McAfee also detected a trojan.

"Installed additional software without asking"
Version: Power Video Cutter 4.6
Pros
none i can think of
Cons
After installing the main program, it installed K Lite Code Pack and AviSynth 2.5 without asking!
Also, when i tried to actually cut an AVI into a shorter version, it selected another format by default, making it a converter rather than a cutter. -
"waste of time useless"
Version: Power Video Cutter 4.5.1
Pros
it can take mp4 mpg & other video formats thats it
Cons
it crashes/ shuts down everytime i cut a video if that problem was fixed i would give it a better rating
Summary
useless

"An unusable trial"
Version: Power Video Cutter 4.4
Pros
Has some good features.
Cons
Poor design. The limitation of 14 uses is incorrect. You can mess about with the features, but it won't let you do any cutting unless you pay for this half-baked product.
Summary
There are some really bad, sloppy design features. Although it's possible to select 16:9 ratio from a drop-down menu, the selection of available resolutions are only 4:3, which is really dumb. To make it worse, there is not even the option to enter a custom resolution. Another appalling weakness it that you have to sit through the whole video in order to set the markers; if you go past them you have to go back to the start and start again! No fastforward/rewind, and no manual placement.
Complete amateurish crap.
