• WinFX works great for me.

  hnascMarch 13, 2012

  Pros

  I did not encounter forced add ons or downloads. I've been using it for a long time with no problems. It converts fairly fast and it's easy to use. I'm about to download again on my sisters computer so will let you know if there are "forced" add on's required.

  Cons

  I agree there could be more info under the quality designations. I'd also like to know what high, super high, full screen and wide screen really mean as choices.

  Summary

  I like it. Suits my needs. Would not like it if forced plug ins or installations were ever required.

• Where is the help?

  dreemsnakeNovember 28, 2011

  Pros

  It's free an it looks like it might work - I haven't tried it yet (see the cons)

  Cons

  No Help Is the best quality Super High, or Very High?

  Summary

  I realize this is a free program but there should be some help, unless it's there but I'm missing it. The only thing under my Help menu is "About." My question is: I am choosing the device preset. My choices are, in this order: High quality, Super high quality, Very high quality. (sigh) Now, I would assume that the highest is the super high, but it is between the other two, making it look like they are in order by quality, unless they are in alphabetical order. So, I want the best quality. Is it Super High or Very High?

• Installs lots of crapware along with itself

  jefferymcMay 6, 2011

  Pros

  Seems to do the conversion

  Cons

  No way to opt out of installing the additional crapware

  Summary

  This might be a winner if it weren't for the way the installer *FORCES* you to install Bing Toolbar, Ask.com crap along with something called WeatherBug. In fact, if you don't read the terms of the agreement, you'll never know that this crap was installed... until your computer starts to drag and you see all of the popups. Until the author makes the install of the additional crapware optional, I'd avoid this application

  airborne7395March 3, 2011

  Pros

  Very easy to use! Works as advertised! And it was FREE!!!

  Cons

  I actually dont have any problems with it.....I will let you know.

  Summary

  I am sorry, but FREE is great especially when it works!!! I PAID for one from koyotesoft and the code I paid for did not work and they will not and have not responded to my emails. CNET delivered what they promised! Thanks guys! (and gals!)

• Doesn't work at all.

  ztlSeptember 26, 2010

  Pros

  Nothing except for the description, and what appeared to be a simple GUI.

  Cons

  First, it installed and adapted the GUI to Hebrew for no apparent reason (my system is English). I added a file, chose the output, clicked convert and nothing happened. No conversion took place, and no preview was viewable.

  Summary

  Disappointing. Don't bother. I added a file, chose the output, clicked convert and nothing happened. No conversion took place, and no preview was viewable. Twice I received a bizarre message which didn't even look like an error message. Once a DOS window open. But there was no sign of conversion and the preview didn't work either.
