    "Pretty good at converting video"

    October 20, 2012  |   By Himself

    Version: iWisoft Video Converter 1.2.0

    Pros

    * Wide variety of formats to choose from
    * Easy to understand and use
    * Quick to get started
    * Stable. Doesn't hang, lets you see how it's doing
    * Works pretty quickly

    Cons

    * Instructions and help are thin
    * Can take some tweaking to get acceptable results
    * I noticed some glitching on the finished videos in some formats.

    Summary

    I used HyperCam to capture some video onscreen and then used this iWisoft Converter to compress them, and the results included extra ugly artifacts on the video. I only just downloaded it a couple hours ago and I've had to try various settings to get the results I wanted. Thankfully, it's fairly fast. Now, I'm getting OK video in a very, very compressed FLV format. I still have to try to figure out how to get other formats and sizes to work, but overall, I'm impressed.

    no "Pros", install froze about half-way, opened three identical error windows with "Lua Error!" titles

    "Good is good, but..."

    June 22, 2011  |   By oapbtommy

    Version: iWisoft Video Converter 1.2.0

    Pros

    Excellent freeware, you can also adjust the brightness and contrast the video before convert other format.

    Cons

    1. Needs to update before use, that's not fair. For the user that is in trial using and needs to use several time, if it is good, they will update.

    2. When it startup, you'll see an update successfully popup message. That's obstructs to all users.

    Summary

    So, I deduct the score to 4.

    "Fast, and loads of output files"

    May 22, 2011  |   By Harrycnetf

    Version: iWisoft Video Converter 1.2.0

    Pros

    Fast, easy to use, lots of output conversion formats.

    Cons

    There aren't any!!

    Summary

    This is very fast at converting my 1h 17m avi video into mp3 format, and there is so many formats to choose from. This is a must have download because it doesn't need the internet, so wherever you are, you can convert!!! Definitely download, even if you don't need it now, there will be a time when you do.

    "Excellent product, love it."

    March 29, 2011  |   By tu7510

    Version: iWisoft Video Converter 1.2.0

    Pros

    Very well designed, especially a free one. Never have any problem using it. Works like a charm. FANTASTIC!

    Cons

    Cannot merge individual videos that are already converted without having to reconvert them.
    Do not have the capability to run batch conversion for mutiple tasks; other than that the iWisoft Video Converter is the best one I ran across.

    Summary

    Deserve one extra star: Six stars!
