Easy to use, good results, no installation needed
Hiromasa2010April 24, 2010
Pros
This product was easy to use, just drag and drop files, select the format you want, and click start. The conversion wasn't as long as other converters I've used. Plus there's no installation needed.
Cons
It could use a few more options: like custom output sizes and the like. (but then I guess some changes would be unusable on some "picky" phones, like Blackberry)
Summary
All-In-All I would recommend this converter. It did it's job and faster than some others. I love the fact that it's a "portable app" so there's no installer. Interface was good, output was good. Try it for yourself and see.
Fast, easy, top notch results

Pros
Couldn't be easier-pick your device, drag in some files, and click Start. It hasn't balked at any files I've thrown at it and all of the results look fantastic. Doesn't require installation, it just runs.
Cons
It could offer a few more advanced options, but I prefer things that are simple and just work. All in all, no complaints.
Summary
Great app! If you have a Zune HD, iPod Touch, or other portable player or cellphone, this is the encoder for you. Also check out Encode360 for the Xbox 360.
Looks Promising... Doesn't work
sun flowerJuly 26, 2009
Pros
The interface looks very clean and straightforward on the developers website.
Cons
1) Currently broken. It starts by giving you a main program window and another nag window asking for donations that won't go away, leaving only alternative to kill program via task manager. 2) It doesn't install, but works like many thumb drive apps
Summary
Looks promising, hope the developer fixes the problems soon, but it is currently non functioning. This review was based on version 1.1.108.0, so check it out later versions. It doesn't install, simply unzip. This is both a pro and con. Pro: it would run from thumb drive (assuming). Con: the user must make own install folder and shortcuts.
