Hi Autumn Silvermoon,

Sorry for that. The new version doesn't support XP any more. You can try our free online version. https://www.apowersoft.com/free-online-video-converter Thank you.

Felix from Apowersoft, thank you very much for the reply, some software developers don't I liked the ApowersoftPDF offering a short bit ago! I'll give the free one a try and tyvm!!! :-)

Ren W., thank you for sharing us your opinion. We have professional Video Download Capture for downloading videos especially. This software is mainly focused on converting media files.

Hi Ren W.,

Thanks for your feedback. In fact, we've fixed these sites in our professional video downloader - Video Download Capture. And we'll add these sites to Video Converter Studio in the next version. Thank you.

Felix from Apowersoft,
Thanks for the replies Apowersoft, which is quite impressive, & shows Apowersoft does have integrity, unlike many other developers around today.
This programs would be truly great, stand out from all these many many others converters and similair downlaoders, if could add more especially, most useful video and audio enhancements
features below, even though some of these are probably too advanced for most of these shabby fly by night developers out there, but Apowersoft team does appear to at least want
To sincerely improve their products, I still hate paying a yearly fee just to use your products, but if you guys implement some of these features in your converter or downloader
Programs, you will certainly have my attention, to purchase, but hopefully you re-consider your pricing to make a bit more reasonable. Cheers!!!!

Thank you.

Hi JardaH,

As we all now, Microsoft has not supported XP any more, though XP is a classical OS. In consideration of the security and cost, the new version of Video Convert Studio doesn't support XP any more. No worries, if you want to use conversion function, you cam also try our free online version. It supports all systems, XP, Vista, Mac, Windows 7, 8 or 10. Thank you.

JardaH, the software runs well on Windows XP. The key problem I think would be the activation issue. Some XP users cannot open the login window and thus cannot activate the software. If you do not have such a problem, this software deserves a try.

Hi jakeshjo,

Thanks for your favor. We can give you some discount if you want to buy the lifetime license~ You may send a email to our support. Thank you.

Hi Anya,

After one year, you can use it continually. The updates don't stop. But it will be trial version with some limitations. Thank you.

Hi Pretty Jessica,

Thanks for your favor. You can also share your idea on our product community.

JPX, thank you. If you have any questions or suggestions, leave them here to let us know. Have a nice day.:)

Hi JPX,

Thanks for your testing. If you have any problems when you're using the program, you can tell us by email or community. We'll reply to you asap. Thank you.

lauren,

"can you "fade" or transition when combining videos?"

No... They have a good guide for the software at: apowersoft[.]com/faq/video-converter-studio-guide.html

For transitions between scenes or clips you'd use an NLE [Non Linear Editor], where you arrange the clips on a timeline or using a story board, set their individual lengths etc., then add & adjust any transition FX. Blackmagic has DaVinci Resolve for free, while Avid offers Media Composer First also free, while there's lots of competition lower down the food chain, including Adobe Premiere Elements, Corel VideoStudio Pro, Roxio, Nero, etc... While the Adobe software doesn't drop too much below $50, the others mentioned usually dip to the $25-$30 range on sale. Magix bought the video software line from Sony, so there *may* be some decent offers there too. Videohelp[.]com has a good list of available NLEs with info on each.
videohelp[.]com/software/sections/video-editors-advanced

lauren, Check out VSDC video editor, it has tons of transitions , very good program. if you want a version before it started havinfg paid option look for version 4.

Hi mike,

Very professional. Thank you. In fact, Apowersoft has its own NLE - ApowerEdit. It's easy to use compared with Premiere, VSDC, Sony Vgas, etc. You can have a try.

Don LeBaron, mine is a 64-bit Windows 7. This software runs very well on my computer.

Hi Don LeBaron,

It supports both 32 bit and 64 bit. Thank you.

Hi Stefos,

You can go to our official site. There're more promotions of our programs. Thank you.

Kat, did you try the 'download link via e-mail' option?

Hi nivekian,

Nice choice! Kat can try it~

Brenda, the license will expire. You cannot use the software until you purchase another license.

Hi Brenda,

It will become trial version. You can purchase it or get more promotions from our Official site. Thank you.

nivekian, that's really a problem. Good advice.

Hi Deke,

Thanks for your feedback. In fact, this program has enough settings for video, audio, devices and more. Currently, H264 and Mpeg4 are main video compression standard. We'll support H265 lately which will meet more needs~ The conversion time also depends on the size of the video. It's faster than most paid converters.

Deke,

If it helps at all...

"almost no settings"

The x264 encoder [for AVC/H.264] included in ffmpeg has loads of settings possible, but they're beyond most users -- a brief listing of each & what it does takes pages. Because of that most software using x264 limits the settings to something much more manageable, though some, like the simple_x264_launcher, allow you to enter your own parameters for the CLI x264 app.

"slow conversion"
"... hardware encoding support, including Intel Quick Sync and Cuda."

With video encoding, speed is going to vary depending on encoder settings, hardware, & software installed. The very popular x264 encoder is going to work at close to the same speed regardless the software using it, when it's using the same settings on the same device [PC, laptop etc.].

X264 does have quality-related settings that will speed things up or slow them down -- I've seen software that lowers the quality so they can claim faster encoding speeds, while some people use highest quality with the CLI app itself, taking maybe a day [or longer] to encode. Hardware is common sense -- an i7 will encode video faster than an i3 or Celeron. Regarding software, if the encoding app uses Direct Show, the DS filters that are installed can have a drastic effect. At the same time all software uses some hardware resources, so whether the encoding app uses DS or not, if only 1/2 of your hardware resources are available for encoding, it'll take longer, as you'd expect.

Using GPU assist [Quick Sync, Cuda, OpenCL] for video encoding is a bit of a can of worms. When it comes to encoding, a lot of the processing a GPU is capable of will produce [sometimes Much] lower quality. An encoder that uses GPU assist that's capable of higher quality will split processing, feeding some of the work to the CPU, & some to the GPU, which is hard, especially regarding timing things so the CPU or GPU isn't sitting idle, waiting. Such encoders are not only rare, but twitchy, e.g. the Sony AVC encoder may work with GPU assist on one system & not another, even though both have identical hardware specs.

X264 itself allows almost no GPU assist -- it's just not designed for it. There are OTOH encoders designed to take full advantage of GPUs, but the price for the increase in encoding speed is noticeable loss of quality.

"only h264 and mpeg4"
"H264 is old hat"

Speaking purely in terms of practicality, the majority of devices capable of displaying video are designed to play AVC/H.264. More advanced codecs, e.g. H.264, H.265 etc., require more processing to decode & play -- often more than the processor on its own can provide. So hardware manufacturers build in additional processing capabilities just for that, e.g. additional chips in a cell phone, or added GPU instruction sets & firmware code for a PC/laptop/tablet. While other, newer codecs are catching on, they're just not there yet.

That's NOT saying AVC/H.264 is the best there is... If the device where you want to play the video can handle H.265, it'll also handle H.264, but most devices in use today simply cannot work as well, if at all, with something else.

Hi TK,

We'll research HEVC, VP9 and 4K. Thank you.

Hi TK,

In fact, we've added HEVC, VP8 and 4K to the program. You can check in the output formats. Thank you.

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much. We'll work harder to improve our services and products. Thank you.

Mark, thank you so much for your appreciation. Any constructive suggestions are welcome. You can write to us via support@apowersoft.com to let us know if this promotion ends.

Priscilla, One word "Format factory "

dragnit, that's actually two words...

dragnit, is that free software and how is the quality after conversion?

Hi JPX,

Thanks for your favor. You can try it after work. And if you have any suggestions or problems, you can post on our community. We'll reply to you asap. Thank you.

Austin, obviously yes. Nice try.

Hi Austin,
Yes. The desktop version can help you convert more formats fast and it has more practical tools, such as video downloader, video recorder, Make MV, etc.

Hi Kelly,

You can convert you video/audio to the original format, which means the conversion is lossless~

Felix from Apowersoft, ----can this compress videos and is there much of a quality loss?

can this compress videos and is there much of a quality loss?

Hi Hasegawa,

Not all of them. You know, convert is its main feature. If you want to download NHK, niconico and GYAO, you can try our professional video downloader- Video Download Capture. Thank you.

Tomisme, All these formats are compressed video files. mov. avi,mp4 and many more.

Hi BarkingPuppy,

If you have any problems in using this program, you can send feedback to our community(You can check the community URL in the #1). We'll reply to you immediately. Thank you.

BarkingPuppy, Hello, sorry if it caused any inconvenience to you. We states this information under the Key Feature section.

Hi BarkingPuppy,
In the Price term, Giveawayoftheday has disclosed this thing.
Price:
The program is available for $39.95,
but it will be free for our visitors
as a time-limited offer.

HI BarkingPuppy,
read under Key Features on the download page where it says,
"NB: 1 year license provided."

Was that TOO cryptic?

BarkingPuppy,

It's a one year license. While, during this period, you can enjoy the updates and support free. Moreover, you can use this program on any PCs with no limitations.

felix, by "time-limited offer" they mean it is available to download only today. It says that on every single giveaway, whether it's license is for 6-months, year, or forever.

I will stick with version 4.4.2 from a previous giveaway. There is no time limitations with this.

felix, Actually, 'time limited offer' means an offer available for a limited time - basic English usage.........

Mark, you got it right but the license is for a year. We marked it under the Key Features section. Next time we'll put it in a obvious place.

Cockney,

Thanks for your favor. We'll try our best to improve our programs!
