"Excellent Converter, Saved me many times over."

April 25, 2012  |   By TTC-Media

Version: Quick Media Converter HD 4.5.0.2

Pros

Reliable and fairly fast. Has everything I have needed it for and has done a great job for me. I have used this to strip off sound from a video and re sync the sound recording after cleaning it up. Can't exactly do that with the video still attached. Have also used it on old videos where the sound was off from the video. Once re synced, the video was near perfect.

Cons

It's free. I can't see a con when it has done everything I have asked it to do.

Summary

I do a tremendous amount of editing and media work for the internet. I love this program and have it on over 8 computers now. It has saved me so many times it's not even funny.

"Skip This One."

Version: Quick Media Converter HD 4.5.0.2

Pros

Sometimes produces an acceptable conversion.
Has a nice looking interface.

Cons

1.Install will fail. Error messages will direct you to author's website/forum to download missing files.
2.Not compatible with Window 7. "Windows Program Compatibility Assist" may offer to try and re-install program with different settings.
3.Default conversion parameters are nonsensical;sometimes cannot be changed.
4."Expert Mode" does not really work; Custom profiles cannot be created or saved.
5.This is the SLOWEST converter tested.

Summary

Version 4.5.0.2 of Quick Media Converter HD is not ready for release.
Maybe the next version will be better.

"It Installs Fine, Works Fine, Speed Is Mixed"

Version: Quick Media Converter HD 4.5.0.2

Pros

It installed on a Win 7 64 bit just fine without issue, videos converted just fine, installs with many pre-defined profiles, create your own profiles or override parameters in the pre-defined profiles.

Cons

I indicated to use 8 "cores" but conversions are slow, no documentation on pre-defined profiles parameters, the default folders in the settings don't work...you need to choose an output directory and profile directory for each conversion.

Summary

The only thing that prevents me from giving this software top scores is it's speed. One thing I've found interesting in reading the other reviews is the huge discrepancies of people's experience with it. All I know is that NIS 2011 does not classify it as malware, it did not remove any Win 7 codecs I already had, I did not receive a message that the version I had was illegal, and while it did stop partway through one of my conversions, when I tried to play the source it stopped playing at the same point because there was a problem with the source...it was not a problem with the application.

Once you drag/drop or import a file to be converted, you can choose from a variety of conversion "types" on the main screen and some of them have choices in connection with them. You can either work in what would be considered a one-touch or easy mode or you can work in "Expert" mode where you can choose a profile and then alter them to your needs.

My installation downloaded all of the profiles available so there was no need to download additional, but it also installs CamStudio where you can create your own videos and upload them if you want to develop something that would actually demonstrate how to do something. In my opinion the Help should be better than what it is but not so much in how to use the software than explaining what some of the parameters to the pre-defined profiles. One important aspect to the software is that I found it to be intuitive to use, but what it is you are choosing would be the most value.

Overall I really like Quick Media Converter, I just wish it was faster.
