I downloaded and installed the software, no problem, but I didn't get an e-mail upon filling out the request form. That was a long time ago, and still no e-mail. I even tried a different e-mail address, still no e-mail there, either. I don't see an option to request resending the e-mail, reloading the page only takes me to an error message. What can I do to register?

GOTD, please note clearly and conspicuously license restrictions. This has been requested countless times by visitors...thanks, in advance.

Today's offering is a 1-year license!

It might be a keeper IF I EVER GOT THE EMAIL reuest LINK.........after 5 times requesting

Thanks for this offer -- it installed without incident.

However, I have the same comment as with Aiseesoft Video Enhancer 9.2.18 (November 12, 2018):

Although it displayed mostly-OK on my high-DPI display (3840x2160), I found that, for instance, the otherwise-tiny checkboxes in the "Menu" > "Preferences" window appeared even better if I adjusted the compatibility settings of the shortcut on the Desktop (or any other used to launch it).

Right-click on the shortcut then select "Properties":

Properties > "Compatibility" > "Change high DPI settings" > "Override high DPI behavior" > "Scaling performed by:" then select "System" .

(Note: trying "System (Enhanced)" did not work well as the application window would disappear when the cursor moved over it.)

Also, folks, remember to UNcheck the following box to help avoid losing your registration license prematurely:

Menu (icon near upper right corner of main window) > Preferences > General (tab) > Check for Updates Automatically

I don't have Facebook and don't intend to install it, how to download this valuable program? Have version 7.1.8 and it is very good. It was downloaded here at giveaway and never requested for facebook at the time.

One year license offer from Aiseesoft? Have always seen better with you. Would have love to see a one year with no updates. Sadly, not gonna take advantage of this one.

Was easy to install, easy to register, had a clip from an outside security camera, turned out well, clipped 15 sec from 11min, no audio although I suspect it would be easy to add some. Took about 5 sec to make the clip. Good quality, Happy with the Give-Away today. Win 10 x64

Just some results, a conversion from MP4 -> WEB and another with flip and watermark:

Aiseesoft Total Video Converter, while well-polished, is basically your more-or-less average ffmpeg converter with additional capabilities for GPU assisted re-encoding. I tested using an AMD graphics card [RX470], and rather than using the pretty limited hardware acceleration available with the X264 H.264/AVC encoder that's included in ffmpeg, the Aiseesoft converter went the extra mile and used AMD's GPU-based encoder. Unfortunately I can't measure the difference in performance, because with the AMD GPU assist turned off, the hard coded X264 encoder settings are tuned more for speed than quality or efficiency, so the results don't really match.

I converted 10 minutes worth of a 1080p AVC [variable bit rate] video with a max bit rate of 29.7 Mb/s to AVC 720p at a fixed bit rate of 1.5 Mb/s. Using the AMD GPU assist, it took just over 6 minutes with a file size of 117 MB -- it took less than 1/2 that time with the GPU assist off, with a file size of 120 MB. The AMD encoder used something called CABAC -- the X264 encoder settings did not -- which takes more processing, both encoding & viewing, but being more efficient, creates smaller files. That alone would make the GPU assisted encoding take longer. To try and get a hint of the converter's performance without GPU assist & with encoding settings not tuned just for speed, I encoded the same clip with the same settings to H.265, which is *very roughly* similar, and it took just a little longer than the GPU assisted AVC conversion, with a file size of almost 138 MB. The H.265 encoder is not set up as well -- of the 3 it was the only one that showed noisy artifacts, plus the larger file size -- so again not a completely accurate comparison. With a Ryzen 2700 & the RX470, during GPU assisted encoding CPU = ~20%, GPU = ~50% -- AVC without GPU assist CPU = ~ 30%, GPU = 0 -- H.265 CPU = ~93% [all cores evenly used, but max speed was never reached], GPU = 0.

The 2 AVC video files looked very close to the original -- the main difference was the original was a bit sharper -- while as I mentioned, there was a bit of noise [like very minor static] with the H.265 video. Without being able to use VBR [Variable Bit Rate] however, none of these would be my preferred choice if I wanted/needed the best quality at the smallest file size. VBR uses a higher bit rate, meaning less video compression, when the scene calls for it, e.g. high amounts of action or motion, with lower bit rates & more compression when it will least effect what you see. VBR lets you use higher max bit rates, for better quality & fewer artifacts in those high action scenes, with a smaller file size than otherwise possible.

If Aiseesoft went to similar lengths with Nvidia's CUDA & Intel's Quick Sync, the effects of using GPU assist could be more pronounced -- AMD [ATI] stopped trying to compete with Nvidia's CUDA years ago, focusing instead on OpenCL [which Nvidia backed away from], and the Aiseesoft Total Video Converter does not use OpenCL.

Aiseesoft Total Video Converter like most converters has very good video format compatibility for input videos, but tries to open all files in a folder rather than understanding something like the Blu-ray format. Output audio formats are also limited, which again is common [I saw AAC & MP3] -- I really wish these converters would let you pass the existing audio through without changing anything. Subtitles if selected are permanently overlaid on the video -- if you want subs that you can turn on/off, & that also look better at a variety of screen resolutions, you need to use something like the free Subtitle Edit to OCR them to a .srt file. When that .srt file is named the same as the video, & present in the same folder, Very many players can use them, letting you turn subs on/off as well as control settings like font & color.

Aiseesoft Total Video Converter itself takes up 119 MB in the program's folder, with additional folders added at default settings to ProgramData\, Users\ [UserName]\ Documents\, & Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\. Most of the registry entries are confined to a single HKCU\ Software\ Aiseesoft Studio\ key -- there are a couple of others for registration data, & one for uninstall. The GOTD key you get from the Aiseesoft web site is only good for one installation.

I just downloaded and registered this converter in less than 4 minutes. I used an email link to gmail account for the download and the registration process on a PC with Windows 7.
I wish those who complain here about the registration process would spend as much time 'reading' the text that comes in the zip file as they do typing and bitching. Comprehension folks!

They sent out the Registration Code, but when I input that code, I get an Error Code of 4104 - which says that "this Code has been used earlier"!

Of course, this Code has NOT been used earlier, as I just received it from the Aiseesoft registration page 1 minute after giving them my username and gmail address, so What gives with this nonsense?

I have forwarded my registration code email to their Support team, and wonder if or when I will receive their "fix" or "feedback" on this issue - has anyone here on GOTD had this problem or heard from their Support team, Today? Thanks.

Used; Aiseesoft Video Converter Ultimate (5 minutes). Used; an XviD AVI film 704x384 pixels. The converter does not bring anything, bad. Even with the components of the Enhancer.
After that used a FREE video converter. No end date.
Heaven's Prisoners (1996) XviD-avi, 1.438. 528 kB. Converted to m2ts, Heaven's Prisoners (1996) 1280x720 mpeg HD mp3-m2ts 6.418.428 kB and that is significantly better that what Aiseesoft offers.

Installed and registered fine. As already mentioned, this software comes with a annual license.

Over the years i collected a decent amount of different video converters, so there is a lot to choose and differ from.

Things i like
- Lots of output profiles you can choose from, to select the proper output format, for lots of devices too, so you don't have to manually fiddle around with profiles
- 4K and 3D support
- Hardware acceleration
- Trim, Merge, Adjustment, Crop, Rotate, Flip, Watermark function
- Subtitle and Audio Track editing
- Video Enhancement (like upscaling, noise reduction)
- Batch conversion
- Preview

What i disliked or miss
- Conversion can be slow, depending on the input and output format or by simply not having the required hardware for acceleration
- No option to transfer files to other connected devices
- No burning functionality

In my test i converted a 744 MB 1h:44m:20s MKV file into a 974 MB XviD file (nothing changed profile wise), which took 1h:11m:10s to convert and just from experience with other converters, it can be faster than that but also slower, depending on the software that's been used (for example, in many cases the conversion speed takes as long as the video goes but it was faster than that), so i would say it lands somewhere in the middle in terms of speed. In terms of quality, i couldn't tell much of a difference in the output file picture wise but at the beginning of the video, i could see some artifacts on the intro logos (like black pixels on them) that weren't there in the original video but the sound was ok, the rest of the video was fine after that. I applied noise reduction, maybe it has to do with that, idk.

Overall it's a ok converter imo after initial impression.

The program inidicates that it is only good for 5 months. How do I obtain the registration code?

I click on 'Get Free Registration Code" and NOTHING happens. Exited the program, restarted and still nothing.

I am interested to know in what way this software is: 'the professional',
and how it: 'to entertain your media file fully'.

I am unimpressed with the liberal use of 'professional' for domestic products.
I am also concerned that if the product description is 'puff' what is the actual product like!

"Annual licence" - does it mean after one year, there will be no more free updates OR, the program will DISAPPEAR from the computer.

Will appreciate a response.

Easy install (on windows 10 64bit and with a gmail email account accepted (lucky me)). Quick trial left me favorably impressed with its intuitive interface and pleasing edit options in addition to ability to convert. Wish I had more time to use it. Hope it continues to work after a year. I have added it to my ever increasing number of video editors.
Thank you to Aiseesoft and GAOTD nice one!

Could you please detail the difference from the converter Ultimate version?

Why is it during registration, a valid gmail_email account is being consider as an invalid email address ?
