Hope this gets posted because I am late to the party - its 11:54 PST for me.
This software installed quickly and cleanly on Windows XP SP3.
As a fan of Format Factory, I was curious how well Total Video Converter would convert a 720p, 30 fps, HD file (avi).
Before my time runs out, here's what I discovered...
Converting a 50s (sec) 720p, 30 fps, HD video file:
Total Video Converter 5.0.12 - 2m 6s
Format Factory 2.30 - 1m 3s
Clearly FF 2.30 is TWICE as fast as Total Video Converter.
Next, I will check clarity, etc, but I only have 3 minutes before time expires.
Thanks for posting this IMPORTANT observation regarding Total Video Converter.

Wow do our experiences vary, it installed fine on my otherwise generally rotten HP Vista 32 and I have no problem with seeing everything and I use the 1280 x 800 resolution also, it worked fine although it was not that fast I'm going to test it on my TV now using the Samsung Bluray Player that does that and plays netflix etc on the TV. Looks good Thanks!

Aiseesoft Total Video Converter installed easily on Vista 32 bit Home Premium. It converted a mp4 file to avi in good time. However, Roxio MyDVDBasic rejected this avi file when I tried to make a dvd. Thus, I had to convert the mp4 file to avi a second time with Format Factory before making the dvd. I will stick with Format Factory as it has always been a reliable converter for me.

The font thing is a big deal to me, I feel it is up to the producer to make the window resizeable so that it can be used on any resolution. There is nothing I hate more than a window that can't be resized. I have a large monitor that makes it much easier for me to see and changing the resolution is not something I feel I should have to do for a program of any kind. Make the windows resizeable like most companies and then there is no problem!

To Jeckson ...
"62.DAsAngel, use 1280*800 to install this software, and there will be no such problem.
Comment by Jeckson —"
I have installed and uninstalled in each resolution and the effect is the same. I use my OS font at 125% and, therein, lies the problem. When switching back to 100% (normal Microsoft font size) it installs fine and displays as it should with all functions available.
As others have said, this works quite well for video converting, and comparatively well. The program has many presets that work nicely. If the company can get it to work with different size os fonts then they would be well onto being one of the better video converters.
Most computer users are novices and would not know that there might be an issue with their font size causing a programs GUI distortions, so making software that that checks the systems font size would be greatly beneficial. Not all people can leave their system font at normal as there are way to many people out there who have vision problems.
All-in-all, this is a good software that needs a few tweaks to make it better.
Thank You GOTD and Aiseesoft for this opportunity.

pros lots of video converter listings you can use to convert your videos to.
cons when I converted a 750 mb avi video to a mp4 video it made it even bigger into a 939 mb file.
when I convert a video to mp4 I expect it to get smaller not bigger.
setting used were profile general file mpeg-4 video *mp4.

Very easy to install and easy to register. The only problem I had was that I use an Android phone and I didn't see an obvious Android conversion option. I know that Android and iPhone are similar so I had to guess which one might work best on my phone to try out the conversion process. Very fast conversion though. Thanks GOTD and AISEESOFT

For #26 and others, you may need to set your font size back to normal and use a slightly lesser resolution. I've installed it on a 1280 x 768, nvidia 8600GT, normal font size and no problems.
I would suggest to the author's adding an audio pass through option when encoding to divx, xvid, mp4, or h264, as well as the HD versions of these so if people want to keep the original audio, ac3 5 channel sound, then they can. That is a major feature I use all the time, and that alone would stop me buying it, despite the nice profile options provided. Thanks for the giveaway.

System requirements: Intel core 2 duo 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel Integrated X4500 MHD Graphics card.
Installation: It only took less than 5 seconds
Activation: was such a breeze
First look: The GUI of the program is very beautiful! It uses soft colours and overall this program has one of the nicest GUI i have ever seen. Enough to make me give it a thumbs up and give it a review.
First Try: without hesitation i immediately gave it 70 episodes of an anime to convert from .rm to .mp4 (iPhone mp4). However i noticed that i could not create my own folders to output within the program which slowed me down a bit. The list of output formats are amazing! It took me a full two minutes to decide which one i wanted to choose.
First Process: It shows me a preview and it finished converting 1750 minutes of RM video to mp4 in just 2 hours!
Quality: The output quality was excellent! i did not notice any degradation in quality.
EDIT: while writing this, the software crashed! here is the log file thing:

Suggestion: Include the resolution for the new iPhone 4 ( 960 x 640 ) and allow the program to be maximized! also allow it to be minimized when processing!
Colnclusion: Wonderful software but i will have to give it an 8/10! reason is above :)

Thumbs up currently seem to be at a near record high of 91% with over 1400 votes cast... In line maybe with Aiseesoft Studio's bad reputation for spamming? [see http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/aiseesoft.com ]

Hmm... 29 comments and over 1400 Thumbs Up? Way more than what even the 'premium' software developers tend to get here. That in itself tells me something is quite fishy and leads me to believe the developer has their own finger on the TU button.
I'll stick to Format Factory, thank you very much.

The program installed fine but doesn't show the complete gui and since it isn't resizable I can see the whole gui. I don't have any custom setting on my display so not sure why the whole gui won't show up.

Win7 X64 with AMD dual core had no trouble installing, but have to echo other comments that the screen scaling of text and other buttons almost makes this program un-usable. I was able to get the videos from various formats to load, and yes, it merges and produces good effects for various formats (including LG Cellphones) - but it is not a polished product. I will likely de-install and wait for a later version with less GUI bugs, but if you're on a standard (vanilla) PC Setup, this is probably something that you will find useful and easier to use than other products like Adobe Premier, or VurtualDub.

A big THUMBS DOWN from me. The output is always in 4:3 and it adds letterboxing (black lines along the top and bottom or left and right) as necessary to keep it in 4:3. Since when does that qualify as video cropping?

#1: "What do I do with those .trp (or “TS”) files, created on PVR disks attached to set top box receivers? I would really love to have an app which converts them to “normal” AVI’s."
Check out videohelp.com (including the forums) &/or avsforum.com. You'll need to have info handy on just what *box* you're using, &/or find out just what kind of files you have [there are many variants -- TS means Transport Stream, so that can mean any one of a large number of formats]... you'll find loads of tools at videohelp including ones to help you find out what you've got.
* * *
#8: "...It can”t convert swf to video..."
If it helps... Flash video is flv -- you can however put it inside a Flash Shockwave container, & that swf file can provide things like a player & interactivity etc. Apps like the free FLVExtract [&/or shockwave disassemblers] can get the flv video out of that swf file, & then Total Video Converter should open & otherwise work with the video just fine. Bear in mind that Shockwave files are distributed to play, not take apart, so they're often designed to make that hard. ;-)
* * *
#20: "...I would also like to see it incorporate a burn engine to convert videos straight to DVD..."
While that's certainly possible, creating a DVD layout & preparing the audio/video files to go in that layout are 2 very different things -- almost universally the most an app will do is give you one common window while it uses 2 or more apps behind the scenes... keeping them separate gives you a lot more flexibility. At any rate, if you want a no-menu DVD the free version of Muxman is a pro quality standard, though it requires separate audio/video files. Or there are several free & low cost DVD authoring apps that will do simple menus or leave them off -- I **think** the OEM Nero 9 Suite 2 disc/license you see online for ~$3 includes making simple DVDs & of course, burning them, & might be a good companion to today's GOTD given the video conversion/encoding capabilities of that suite are minimal at best.
* * *
#22: "Our church is converting a DVD to video for a local station to air. They tell me that their DVD recorder only records in Dolby stereo, which requires an extra step to covert the sound (and makes the process quite lengthy) in Avidemux. Can anyone tell me if this might have a quicker way to convert?"
Not sure if you're saying you want to convert AC3 to something else, or make something else AC3. If you're converting to AC3 for broadcast I'd suggest something Dolby licensed as the free-ware alternatives *might* be slightly off, *maybe* giving problems on their equipment. Otherwise Aiseesoft Total Video Converter has profiles that will encode/convert audio to/from AC3. As most apps using non-Dolby AC3 converters use the same code libraries, you *probably* won't see a huge difference in time to convert, assuming whatever apps you use are working right on your PC/laptop.

#25: "Anyone know if this will convert VEG (Sony Vegas) files?"
No... those are the Vegas project files, containing what you want to do with the audio &/or video in your project.

I just tried to convert 6.93 MB FLV video to AVI with Aiseesoft Total Video Converter and iWiSoft: Same Video/Audio Settings i.e., Video Bitrate/ Frame Rate/ Resolution/ Encoder .
Except here Aiseesoft had Encoder and iWisoft had Codec in Video Option: Both the Program had an output of 26.3MB and the Quality was preety much same.
But Aiseesoft Total Video Converter can accept/convert to wmv format which iWisoft can only convert to wmv. I think iWisoft is the best video/audio freeware available but Aiseesoft simply beats in this category. i.e., IMO
Its a keeper for me, and anyone should get it.

Installed into Windows XP 32bit Virtual Machine (VMware) on Windows 7 x64, Dell Precision M2400 Intel T9900 3.06Ghz/6MB/1066Mhz, 4GB, .5TB/7200RPM
Quick Review: This program seems easy enough to be intuitive to anyone who has worked with similar programs. However, the lack of hover-over-instructions, make it a challenge for a newbie. Overall, this is a pretty productive and efficient program. With little loss over the original file and the ability to add watermarks, adjust volume and resize video (it can crop!), this program is a MUST for anyone that needs a quick converter. Too bad it can't covert a penny into a dollar, but it can convert nearly anything to anything else. There is some lag here and there, but it is bearable.
Watermark: When working with multiple files, you need to select each file then click on Edit > Watermark to select and tailor the watermark. Use a larger sized watermark and resize it to increase quality. Note: The larger the watermark file, the longer it takes to render the full video.
Convert Options: Too many!!! This is not a bad thing; it just needs to be organized in a way that is pleasing to the eye.
Converting: When converting multiple files, if files already exist, you will need to select OK for every file that you will be saving of the file over the old one(s).
Volume Adj: Although not mentioned, you can adjust the volume of the file by selecting any Video Edit option (like Effect) and dragging the volume controller left or right to adjust. Handy.
Output Quality: A little bit lower than I would like, but it is clean, without blemishes. No blips or fluctuations unlike other programs (Format Factory comes to mind).
Process speed: speed is pretty impressive. However, I would like to see an option to increase quality over speed.
"Lag here and there": I found that when using the Video Edit options, that I had to press PAUSE or else the processing of the video screens took over my virtual machine until it crawled. This is due to the automatic and simultanious playing of the orignial and output videos. There should be an option to change this behavior (select one, both or none from playing), maybe in the Preferences section. Sometimes, clicking on an option took two or three seconds to produce a new dialogue box. It's bearable, since the conversion is sooo quick.
Conclusion: Not as great as DVDFab 6 in some areas, seems better than Format Factory, more options that you can shake a sparkler at. Get it! Use it! Thank me in the morning.

I'm looking for a Windows-based application that can merge multiple mov files from my Kodak digital video camera. I installed and tried this one. However, I'm having problems with the Merge function. Here's what I'm doing:
--Add files to merge,
--Select them using check marks and highlighting,
--Click Merge (nothing seems to happen when I do this, other than the Merge button momentarily being underlined), and
--Click Convert.
At this point, each of the files to be merged gets converted. However, no "merged" file is created. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing everything that the help file is telling me to do. Help!!!

This program works wonderful converting videos into other formats and I can tell it uses the same features as E.M. Total Video Converter which I have been using for 5 years now and almost the same price range but missing the burning capability for DVD video conversion and adding subtitle to the video and other minor things that most people don't use.
Thank you GAOTD for bringing this nice utility which I'm not afraid to say is one of the best converters so far offer here that can really do the job without mediocre results

It's pretty much junk, like almost everything offered here. GOTD has this strange niche of giving away stuff that shouldn't exist in the first place. Shuff that is created by offshore/Asian companies that somehow find an audience, maybe because the great freeware that is available in the US is blocked or otherwise not readily available in Asia? I don't know - but there are dozens of free video converters with a better interface and more features.

Aiseesoft Total Video Converter seems another video converter using the free ffmpeg code libraries for working with video -- nothing wrong with that, it's just harder for the Aiseesoft developers to make Total Video Converter stand out from the crowd. They do this by adding .mkv support & basic editing functions in a portable app with a fairly well laid out program interface [GUI]... some will disagree on that last point since the window is not freely re-sizable. The program itself takes up ~35MB with 47 files, 7 folders; doesn't phone home; & will run, registered, without any registry entries/changes [monitored with RegShot in XP Pro SP3 32, running Aiseesoft Total Video Converter there were 31 changes to the registry, but those were normal things like BagMRU, UserAssist, MUICache etc that happen when or because you ran any app at all.] It used my ATI graphics card GPU *very slightly* only for preview, & during quick tests it uses all cores of an AMD quad cpu. Transcoding speed seems about average, input/output format support seems very good, and the only difficulty I saw was it wasn't clear how to set or handle aspect ratios [i.e. 4:3 & 16:9], though it might be because of what I'm used to, in this regard Total Video Converter didn't seem to make sense... to set the aspect ratio there's a "Zoom Mode" drop-down menu on the Crop tab of the Video Edit window.
You start with the button to Add File, or you can drag/drop directly in the file list -- at the bottom of the list window there are buttons to Merge, Rename, Remove, Clear all, & Properties [a nice touch since remembering which video is which can get confusing]. To the right is a preview window with a snapshot button, that also helps you keep things straight. The Edit window is where you adjust Brightness, Contrast, Saturation [Effect tab], trim the length graphically or numerically [Trim tab], crop & set aspect ratio [Crop tab], &/or add a text or graphic watermark [Watermark tab]. Across the bottom of the program window you set your output folder & select a pre-defined output profile that you can customize further. Some like myself will feel the choices for audio bit rate tend to be too small, while video bit rates tend to be constant rather than variable -- another negative in my opinion, though others do prefer it that way. The help file &/or the product web site list the output choices, which to me were surprisingly broad, with formats like .amv for the small [usually cheap] handhelds, along with the regulars like Xvid avi & Flash flv.
Lots of people convert DVD video to play on various handheld players, cell phones etc... Though Aiseesoft Total Video Converter is not a so-called Ripper, it will accept the VOB files containing DVD audio/video just fine -- you have the option of adding them individually, then merging the files together, or you can use the free DVD Shrink to copy un-protected audio/video into 1 large VOB file [uncheck split VOBs in preferences] & import that [I prefer that method since I can select *only* the audio track I want, which means any conversion app I use won't get confused & use the wrong one. You can also trim at the same time, so you have a VOB file you can use in any converter, including those without trimming/editing features -- no matter which app I want to use, every so often I have a video that just won't work there, so I have to try one or more alternatives... this way I don't have to repeat the DVD Shrink copy.]
