Didn't work for me
Summary
Tested converting a WMV file to MP4, and while the video was fine, the audio was just a bunch of very loud distortion.
Works great!

Pros
Does what it says it'll do.
Cons
Does it for only about 3 months at a time. The software likes to auto update itself, and the license that you buy is only good for about 3 months. The programmer's website FAQ does state that if you intend on using this product for any length of time, you really need to write down your registration code, AND backup the software folder you installed to so you can roll back the version of software when the Auto Update erases your ownership of the product you bought. I purchased this software in October of 2012 (13 Months ago). I use it pretty rarely, but when I need it... Well I need it. I open the program today, and get a "Your free trial has ended - Please purchase this product", and then the program closed itself. I found my emailed registration code, and inputted it. That's when I got the "Sorry Pardner - You're using an outdated code for this version of software, please buy a new one". I call BS on this practice.
Summary
Don't buy software that likes to erase your ownership over it, and then attempts to extort more money out of you before you can use it again. It's a shakedown no matter how you look at it, and it's not right.
Great Program!

Forced to Buy New License When Software is Updated
ISURulzAugust 25, 2013
Pros
The program did everything I wanted it to.
Cons
NCH's website seems shady. I normally would not have bought product from a site with no way to contact customer service. But that's ancient history. I am really writing this review because having already purchased a license, I was not allowed to use the software today because my license was for an older version. In other words, I am being penalized because I own an older version of a program. WTF! BUYER BEWARE......
Summary
I will never ever ever ever buy from this company again! I spent a lot of $$$ to buy a suite of their software only to find out today it is locked because there is an updated version of the software and I own a license for the previous version. I mean WTF!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 25, 2013<p/>BTW I bought the program for no other reason than CNet's endorsement. I assumed their stamp of approval meant NCH is a reputable, fair and honest company. You failed us CNet.
