It can even convert RMVB video format, which, as far as I know, are not supported by most of (free) video editors out there. as well as extract AUDIO from videos to MP3 files, with a nice additional option to preview the videos in real-time. Thanks again guy's, your suggestions have improved my life and computer!Īll in all this GAOTD does its dirty job pretty flawlessly: it can convert all video formats to the most common ones such as AVI, IPOD, PSP, MPEG, MOV ,WMV etc. NB, I have no association with the makers of Freemake, other than a satisfied customer.
I have used it a few years now from the first version and have found it to be spyware free and it does not show any inclination to phone home or change anything - give it a go, you have nothing to lose.
I have found it reliable and works with almost all formats, It also adds an Icon (if you allow it) to your browser, and so you can download and convert with one click from the net. The one I have settled on and use daily is 'Freemake Video Converter'. I just want to thank ALL of the contributors to this forum, as I look in everyday and more often than not download the alternatives that people recommend rather than the giveaway.
I confess that I have not downloaded it as I have way too many types of this software on my comp. Thanks GAOTD and AnnVideo for the freebie today. My first look at its UI left me cold Save | Cancel (now) knowing that, i can go back & manually set the same in the output section
