    Great video converter

    Date: Jan 13 2022
    Summary

    Over all this has been a great product and I'm glad I found it. I've only used it for a few months and I'm no expert at video compression however I can say this product made things easy for me. The end result of videos I've converted have been everything I could have wanted so two thumbs up to the developers.

    Positive

    I've only used this product for a few months but it has really helped me take home videos and convert them to h265 to save a lot of space with little video loss. The product is simple to use and does a good job helping you work through the complicated steps of converting video to different formats.

    Negative

    The first time I used this I tried to mess with frame rates and the video became very jerky . After that experience I decided to leave frame rates as is and change other options to achieve my compression goals.
