"Puts ads in start menu"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
Fast, reliable conversion.
Rips directly from DVD into well compressed, good quality files.Cons
Ads in start menu.
Summary
After installing, there is constantly an icon in my start menu that appears to be a "New Program" for everything from video editing and slideshow software to FTP applications. When clicked, it warns that software is about to be installed.
This is blatant ad ware, and is a little disappointing that C|Net allows this to happen.
If this irritant were removed from the app, I would rate as 5 stars as it is easy to use, fast, and doesn't suck up too much processing power. -
"No Upgrades After 3 Months"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
Works most of the time - did not convert my MTS files, which is really what I bought this for.
Cons
After 3 months, you have to re-purchase the software for even minor upgrades/fixes - not to mention full price for version upgrades. They make you pay for their fixing their own mistakes.
Summary
Their upgrade policies means that they are a company that should be avoided when possible. There isn't much in their offerings that you can find other software developers for.

"was good at first, but now im not sure"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
converted files quicker than other software i tried....
once the conversion settings were set right it worked perfect..Cons
i used this product for about two years and had the full purchased version... recently i had to restore my laptop and reinstalled this from the ORIGINAL installer that i had saved on my HD... it told me it was only a trial and i needed to purchase again..... i didnt bother and instead after the trial had ended i switched to the free version.... WITHOUT ASKING IT CHANGED MY HOMEPAGES AND SEARCH TO SOMETHING ELSE...... i cannot actually remember what it was, so i wont badmouth a company incase im wrong,, but it took a LOT of messing around to get rid of it and lost me bookmarks and saved pages. then, because i had deleted the relevant search folder from the prism folder it reverted me back to the trial , instead of the free one.....
Summary
if you get it setup right then its good...... but be carefull of the sting in this ones tail.

"Very bad user terms"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
Dont know, wasnt willing to try the program even after reading their lousy term of use!
Cons
Reading the below scared me away really. Also others offer one time fee for all future upgrades while this cost the same amount but is requiring you to pay for updates! If it cost much less this could be acceptable but not at this price range.
----------------------
Q. What restrictions apply to the license?
If the license is named as an "Installation License" the main restriction is you need to purchase one license serial number for each computer that the program runs on.
Can I move the software or reinstall the software in future?
Within reason - yes. As long as the software does not continue to run on the old computer you can install the software on a new computer. As a piracy control measure we do limit the number of reinstalls to 2 times in any 12 month period.
Note: we do run an anti-piracy system which can detect multiple installs. But as long as the software (with one serial number) runs on one PC at any one time, you will not have problems.
-------------------------Summary
Same as cons, bad pricing and term of use scared me away. I want to be able to install & uninstall how many times i want!!! it something i payed for. Also no full image is give but internet download which i hate.

"Crapware installed - difficult to remove again"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
The program itself is fine.
Cons
A "on-demand-installer" to a load of crap is also installed.
I can see that this program itself have crashed peoples entire Windows installations.
It messes up your program-menu and also installs hooks in other programs.
The "on-demand-installer" installs all kinds of software without your explicit consent.Summary
STAY AWAY. Find another program to use.

"Crashed my computer"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
Looked really nice in the review
Cons
Not blaming it on this entirely, but I downloaded this and then 1 minute later my computer frooze and then crashed.
Summary
Wouldn't get it

"Horrible Audio"
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
none, won't do what I need.
Cons
Horrible audio converting .MOV to WMV. Even playing my MOV video from my camera the audio is a loud screaming scratchy sound. When I play it with my Quicktime, it is perfect. So on to the next freeware.
Summary
Horrible audio converting .MOV to WMV.

"SPAM and crapware! Avoid all NCH products."
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
It does convert video files when it is not busy infecting your system.
Cons
Installs itself maliciously on yours system, and tries to install other crapware from NCH software. Once installed there software is difficult to remove and finds ways to reinstall itself.
Summary
Spamware and crapware. Avoid all products by this company.
-
"Worked exactly as advertised."
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
It's all good.
Cons
None that I have experienced as of yet.
Summary
I like it a lot.
-
"Good, but I could do without the spam."
Version: Prism Video File Converter Plus 1.82
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
Poor output quality
InvasiveSummary
I really do not appreciate being forced to go back to the company's website each time I close the program. Another reviewer said that Prism will open itself up unasked, and if this kind of garbage starts on my laptop you can bet this review will go from three to one stars. Don't claim to be free if you're really not.
Still, I was able to convert a file for a homework assignment like I needed to, so it's not completely useless. It doesn't seem to be much of a resource hog, either.
