#66, James, Aiseesoft CUDA support only applies to output formats which indicate that they're CUDA-enabled (because ffmpeg only supports CUDA for some output formats, mostly H.264-based).

This is good converter but when I tried to convert for Nokia 5233 in resolution 640*360 ( 5233 having same ), & when I play it displayed in small screen. Why it is ?

#32, William, I forgot to mention, you can get CyberLink PowerDirector 9 for less than VideoReDo TVSuite V4 with H.264, or the Ultra64 version for the same price. It has vastly more features than VideoReDo, although without its error-correction abilities, supports WTV and DVR-MS, among numerous other formats, and supports a number of conversions, DVD and Blu-Ray burning, etc.

I would like to say thank you for blending your products together. I have been constantly searcing for a program that would do what it promised. Thank you Aisee developers and GAOTD for this wonderful program. Continued good health and success to you all.

I installed AISEESOFT TOTAL VIDEO CONVERTER offered by GAOTD on the forth of July last year-2010, 39MB, to the hard disk of this laptothp, which is almost maxed, out which I need to uninstall 1st before installing this new GAOTD/AISEESOFT offering: MEDIA CONVERTER 15MB, I tried uninstalling it with my wonderful revouninstaller, that removes a ton of registry entries and other leftover junk most programs' uninstaller utilities leave behind, the accumulation of which, can really slow down a computer. It would not un-install ok. The error messagegs: cannot uninstall because unins000.dat does not exist. In program files there was only unins000.exe. Can someone from the Giveaway team ask Aiseesoft support to offer a link here in comments to a fix for completely removing the smaller in function aiseesoft complete video converter so that today's AISEESOFT TOTAL MEDIA CONVERTER can then be installed without leaving many megabytes of undeleted registry entries, and other unused lesser Aiseesoft program on the hard drive that will slow the hard drive down? Thanks in advance! Bettie Page9000

Thank you very much for your previous givaways.

However, the registration key given with Aiseesoft Total Media Converter was rejected.

How can I now register the program as a Give Away of the Day?

Nice program, easy download and enjoyed reading all comments from users who asked questions and those who took the time and shared their knowledge with other users. I keep a copy of my "Key" for my computer data log and did appreciate the easy to read key. Thanks GOTD, Aiseesoft and commemtators for a pleasant experience.

Sometimes, I can't play my video through some media, just because of the inappropriate format, then I convert it to the appropriate, then it work. I think this software is wonderful. You will love it more than any other converter after you have used it.

i have had a try! the effect is really good.
If it can add the function of converting video to DVD, it will be more powerful.

#32, William, WTV and DVR-MS support is lacking in most converters because of prejudice against Microsoft proprietary formats. Microsoft provides APIs to access the files, although reverse-engineered solutions can work better. Unlike some of the nonsense which is often posted here, both formats have always supported DRM. Except for CyberLink, which has Microsoft licenses, I'm not aware of other third-party products which can read DRM'd WTV or DVR-MS files, but a number of products will read them if they're not DRM'd. The WTV format supports more streams, and more types of audio and video streams than DVR-MS. I've also never encountered any conflicts at all between PowerDVD and Aero on Vista or Win7, so anyone having problems must have an ancient version or defective video drivers.

My preference for working with WTV files remains VideoReDo TVSuite V4 with H.264, but it's pricey at just under $100. It's designed for linear editing, not conversions, but it will do some conversions and create DVDs. It can also be used to extract the unaltered (except for any needed error correction) contents of WTV and DVR-MS files. VideoReDo is designed to correct the numerous errors which often occur in DVR recordings. I always recommend using the latest beta. If you don't have a license, you'll get a time-limited trial to see if it meets your needs. If it doesn't do the conversion you want, you can use it to extract the contents and run that through another converter. Using the shift key when selecting Options will bring up more options (similar to the way that Shift-Right-Click will bring up more options in Vista and Win7 Explorer).

Aiseesoft has a very large selection of presets, but as always, it depends upon whether it has the presets for or is capable of doing the particular conversions which you want. Unlike most converters, it has decent WMV support. CUDA has been around much longer than Stream, and nVidia has vastly more software support than ATI, so CUDA support in third-party utilities is far more common than Stream support. CyberLink has always supported CUDA.

@#54, if the ISO id a dvd image, it shouldn't need conversion. An ISO is just am image of a disc, not a particular format. Uou can also mount the image and rip it, or just burn the image and then rip it to what you want.

Does not support tp files as it says it does in video inputs, get error saying could not load

#47 (MOB): It does not read a cdrom, so I think the answer is no. There are many programs that do (itunes, cdex and many others that you probably already have).

It should include a way to convert ISO files to DVD playable in home DVD players. If I missed that would someone please point it out to me. I am not a newbie, but I lack the technical expertise to figure it out if it is there. Otherwise, it should be included to distinquish it from thousands of other free programs available. For that I would lay down cash. TJ

Thanks for today's giveaway! It is rather fortuitous timing. I Received a digital box (Netgear Digital Entertainer Live) for Christmas and I have been having fun adding media to it. Unfortunately I am still a rookie at it. I have discovered that there are some movies I have already ripped that are not compatible with it. I get error codes about frame rate and incompatible format quite frequently. Sadly I cannot find a "conversion settings for dummies" for my new toy. I am trying one of the presets I think might work, but I wish there was a profile for the new digital boxes available nowadays. Devices such as mine, the Western Digital media box, or Roku.

The speed is really incredible and the quality is very good too. I generally don't post comments but the speed is really exceptional. And I don't even use the CUDA technology!(because I don't have an NVidia graphics card I guess)

@50 - Marie. As explained (above) following the download link.

Unzip the package you've downloaded, and carefully read the instructions which you can find in the readme.txt file. This readme.txt file is included with all our downloads. Follow the instructions carefully to install and activate the software.

When all else fails...

I thought I had this program already. I tried to access it to find version number. Well, it was expired and wanted me to buy the program!!!! I thought GOTD's weren't supposed to expire! Uninstalled it and tried again. Still doesn't really look registered, but if it isn't, oh well. I wouldn't purchase a product that doesn't stay registered.

Interesting...I have never seen 1100+ votes for anything before...let alone a simple video converter, of which the world has too many already. I am suspicious of the vote tallying and count.

A Blind man saying there is no sun does not make it so, the sun still shines brightly.

this works great. I was looking for something to brighten a video. this one also has in the effects...brightness, hue, contrast and saturation...thank you GAOTD

will it convert CDA audio to mp3?

i have a video camera which records in ASF format. None of the video converter so far I received from Give away of the day has the capability to play/process this format. I have been watching from last few years.
I wish the next version of this video converter at least will consider ASF format also.

According to the 'about' dropdown, this is version 5 and it doesn't allow for inclusion of subtitle files (feature is grayed out).

Warning! If you do the regular install the install adds a Bing toolbar and makes Bing your default browser. After I selected the advanced install and deselected those options the install completed rather quickly. BUT!!!! My antivirus detected the Zugo Ltd(v) adware virus embedded in the program. Even though I scanned the download for viruses before I installed it, there was still a virus embedded in the program. As soon as I post this I am deinstalling the program and running a complete virus scan.

Nope, it's just one of the many. Nice and simple interface but since it allows bitrate-based conversion only, I de-installed after two minutes.

It does NOT allow quality-based encoding (which means you'll have nasty artifacts instead of colorful explosions).

@Peggy, totally clueless - #33

Peggy dear, try googling "video formats guide" and you'll find everything you need in the first few results pages to deliver you from your total cluelessness... You do not have to browse the 94 mln+ hits.

Greetz,
Pat.

BTW, you owe this reply to your pretty name and my occasional willingness to aid damsells in distress. Praise yourself lucky! I'm temporarily in a good mood! Normally you would have gotten a somewhat more teacherlike reply. Perhaps you can guess what that would have sounded like?

;-) and take care.

This could not have come at a better time.

Thank you SOOO much!!!

Downloaded, installed and registered just fine. This a different program than the previous Aiseesoft converter provided here awhile back. This program will install side by side with the other one. I'm assuming this one has more features, so I'm not sure if there's any reason to keep the older one.
Aiseesoft Total Media Converter is a really useful program and better than any of the free ones I've used including format factory.
Just one minor complaint. The program insists on opening split between my dual monitor set up, but this version appears to open the second time in the same spot as last used. Never seen that before on any program, but both Aiseesoft converter programs have this same issue.

To 33. totally clueless: I think if you don't know the difference between mp4 and AVI, you have way more to learn that what tips could be given here. You can use almost any format and it will work. The difference will be in which players it will work on, quality of the video and size of the video file that get stored on your computer.

Did I instal y triy and it best ever GOAD. Thank for shareing.

Downloaded and installed on Win7 64 bit with no problem - runs great. Looks like it now includes the video converter originally found here on GAOTD in this package from Aiseesoft. Thanks to both GAOTD and Aiseesoft for another great program.

This product IS available for the 'MAC'! But you have to pay for it!!!

Could i use this software as free full version after i format my Windows ??

Can someone tell me where I can find an explanation of all the video formats? I wanted to back up a DVD and couldn't figure out how to do that, but the convert to Sansa Fuze was there, so I decided to do that, but there were at least 4 choices of formats... Which one do you choose??? What is the difference between avi and mp4? Is there an informative website out there? Thanks in advance!!

Why are none of the featured products capable of Converting .wtv video files recorded with Windows Media Center

would not install on w7x64 premium... constantly states that file is already in use

I have used it, I think it is an excellent converter, it helps me to solve my media problems. It help me to converter many movies to my iPod touch, it is convenient for me to watch them when I am on the bus or subway, it is colorful my life time.

Hey folks, stop and check before you post erroneous information. Also ask yourself why would GOTD post an OLDER version of any program? This offering is totally new and is a bundle of Aiseesoft's Video converter and DVD converter. The November offering was solely for the Video converter. See below from their website on this program:

Aiseesoft Total Media Converter is really the all-in-one media converter which is bundled of DVD Converter and Video Converter for multimedia users to convert video/audio files, rip DVD to any other video/audio formats like MPEG, AVI, MOV, FLV, SWF, MP3, AAC and any others.

Supporting variety of video formats, Nice visual presentation. Have yet to successfully use it. I really enjoyed the ease of use of this product. Makes conversion less complicated.

I have many videos I have made by my camera Canon, I am afraid they are lost, so I use this converter to merge them together, it let me feel good.

I had a video and wanted to share a little part of it with my sister. But it was too big to be emailed. Thank GOTD and Aiseesoft. The program has trim function. It helped me get this part and I sent it to her. At last I still have the full video.

I could not find a way to include subtitles from the video when converting or how to add new subs.

I would like to have a video converter with:
1. Lossless trimming and joining
2. Optimum conversion quality, e.g. when I download an flv file and I want to convert it to an AVI-file, the converter should automatically find for me the AVI-output that comes the closest to the quality of the original flv source. It's easy to overdo it yourself: converting a shitty source file to a huge output file (from 5mb to 50 mb) is very common.

Installed and registered OK on Win 7 x64. The program says it is version 5.2.30, so it looks like an older version than the November giveaway. :-(

I've no interest in ripping DVD's but this is a great converter. I was a bit disappointed that there were no profiles for the Cowon range of PMP's, but subsequently found it simple to make a profile for my Cowon S9, which I could then save. It converted a 20 minute animation in 3.5 minutes and I could tell no difference from the original. A very worthwhile program for me. Thank you GOTD and Aiseesoft.

such a good app, it's so versatile!
What's more important is that it supports not only DVD and Video formats and but also it supports the iPad.

You can register the software using your own name.

What software combination from Aiseesoft do I need to be able to make backups for DVD movies I purchase. My reasons for this are:

1. I have kids that don't understand how fragile DVDs are. I had to purchase Wall-E twice because of this. Now, I make a backup DVD and put the original away from their little hands.
2. I have a whole-house DVR system. In the rooms that have the proper receiver, or computer, I can play movies from the DVR. I now take movies I buy and convert then to a digital format (MPEG, ISO, etc.) and upload them to the DVR.

A tool that will allow me to convert a DVD (for use as listed in 1 & 2) would be very useful.

Great- It offers a conversion specifically for the SANSA FUZE the is the first bit of software I've seen that offers this, for this much neglected MP3 player. Haven't fully tested it yet but fingers crossed.
Otherwise well layed out, easy to use. Thankyou

I have tried this Total Media Converter, and I like the NVIDIA CUDA technology, which saves me lots of time. I used to be exhausted by the long-lasting converting process in the past. And the converting speed of this Total Media Converter is very fast.

Hello, thanks for this utility, its really great, the conversion speed is very good also but i have just 1 problem... I cant attach a subtitle to my converted videos. All subtitles are in same folder as the videos and have the same name as the video file, except the extension ofcourse. Can someone give me a hint about please?
