Re #75, 94 & 137:

Installed cleanly on XP Pro SP2.

I had no difficulty whatsoever installing it to “C:\Program Files\Utilities\CD & DVD Utilities\ZCVideoConverter” instead of the installer’s default location.

As for changing the output file location, I attempted to use the program’s internal “Browse for Folder” function to change it from the default “C:\ZCVideoConverter” to “C:\My Videos\ZCVideoConverter outputs” but re-naming “New Folder” to “ZCVideoConverter outputs” wouldn’t stick. So, I had to use Windows Explorer to create the desired folder which ZC Video Converter subsequently recognized & retained. The program then successfully converted [without the extra codecs mentioned in #130 & 139] a 600 KB .swf file to a 1600 KB .wmv file and properly deposited it to the new output location. The new .wmv file played with no degradation in Windows Media Player.

1. it’s demo ware
2. pops up first thing saying BUY ME! (nothing irritates me more)
3. Okay, I tried it BUT it says it will WRITE IT’S OWN WATERMARK ON YOUR DVD.
4. I might have tried this but beings that it comes with a P.O.S. attitude I deleted it from my computer without going past #3
Useless as a free download and I don’t buy programs with attitude!

there is a problem with that video converter. When I convert a video to mp4 format ;

In winamp I only hear the voices
with BS Player I can only watch it without any voice
windows media player classic can’t play it.

What should I do ?

I use K-Lite Codec Pack.

I think SUPER converter is better. It’s free, and it is just as extensive. However, it doesn’t hurt to have both =D

Great Download, was able to covert AVI to DVD format. Unfortunately am unable to burn conversion using Nero software?? Will have to locate an alternate option.

To #190 to get it to be the full 100% version you have to register it the same day you download it!see readme.txt.

Its a good program, everything worked fine except when converting an avi file(in wide screen) to DVD format, it kept cocking up the aspect ratio,it produced the .vob file in 4:3,even if I chose “keep original aspect”. Changing it to 16:9 improved it a bit but the image on screen was still not wide enough.Any comments on how to improve/correct this?
Quality was excellent, with good sound.

Overall a v.good freebie.

Some ‘freeware’ !!

As soon as I saw that it would only do partial conversions, I deleted it. Super works fine for me, and it is genuine freeware.
