• It doesn't get better then this

  njdriverd6229/19/2017

  Pros

  Has full list of conversions, easy to use, fast and allows you to choose output folder. I've been using it for years and never had an issue.

  Cons

  None. This neat little program is top of the line.

  Summary

  A friendly interface, fast conversion in more than ample formats, it's a must for anyone that needs format changes for video amd music.

• It works but Norton Antivirus claims it is a threat.

  garcoop1/11/2017

  Pros

  Easy to use once you figure it out.

  Cons

  Cuts aren't precise. You have to guess how many seconds to add or subtract to hit your target more or less exactly.

  Summary

  Norton quick scan sees it as a low-level threat, and in trying to exclude it from being scanned, a Norton support tech tricked me into deleting it. If it weren't considered a threat I'd give it more stars.

• SO MUCH MALWARE

  gurneejohn11/15/2016

  Pros

  Nothing, I gave up because of everything it installed on my computer.

  Cons

  MALWARE. Unusable once the 'extras' are installed.

  Summary

  Honestly, there are much better products out there that won't install extraneous programs/browsers.

• No good anymore

  1/31/2016

  Pros

  Improved UI

  Cons

  First I had to decline all kinds of crapware/malware. I had to be very careful in this process. Then when I finally had it installed I converted a few musicfiles just to see how it performed. It changed the filenames into "formatfactory" in front of all the filenames! What's the purpose of that? I can't use this program for anything.

  Summary

  Forget about it...

• works very well. Installed and runs without problem

  Himself11/23/2015

  Pros

  + Easy to install + Install without adware + Does a good job compressing videos

  Cons

  - The user interface and workflow isn't very intuitive; you can figure it out, though

  Summary

  I use it to down-size cellphone videos into web videos, crunching them into 1/10 the size, while still usually keeping all the detail. Installation was super easy and I'm not bombarded with ads; didn't redirect my browser, unlike some other apps claiming to do the same.
