tony33, No, not at all similar this is a single input file format converter while WinX HD Video converter deluxe accepts many video file container formats and not just .MKV file format. I do note that the last giveaways license was invalidated and there is a message about the licensing system has been changed and instructed users to go get another license code from support using the original email used to purchase the original license... which doesn't really apply to us giveaway users. Though an old giveaway from 2017 still remains activated. Also Dimo use some poor GUI rendering libraries that do not render properly over a Microsoft Remote Desktop session regardless of settings, while WInx HD video converter deluxe renders just fine and includes optional Nvidiia and Intel GPU acceleration. Even the old 2017 version of WinX HD video converter deluxe 5.10.0 youtube downloader still works as it dynamically downloads new parsing engine if available.

Richard, the claim is:
"Convert MKV to any video format like MP4, MOV, AVI, H.265, etc."

Richard,

The input formats listed include: 2D/3D MKV, H.264/H.265 MKV or MKV in SD, HD, 4K resolution -- a subset of what's available with the more expensive Dimo Video Converter Ultimate. However, AVI & MKV are just video containers, so you can usually take the video content in an AVI file and copy it as-is into an MKV container or file, if you don't mind the extra work. There's a good selection of tools for that sort of thing at videohelp[.]com.

Richard, To be fair, it does say "from MKV to almost all " and not from 'almost all'.

mike, My bad--sorry mike!

Lighter, if you use this vendors video converters the lazy way and do not adjust the default bit rate whatever output template you use it will default to several thousand kbits per second as the default preset choices range from 5000kbits to I believe it is 80000kbits per second, all wholly inapropriate for anything newer than the MPEG2 codec. You can edit the video encoder bitrate to a completely custom value but in doing so you are adding clicks and keypresses to the process to get a comparable output video file to FormatFactory or Xmedia Recode or Handbrake or any other FFMPEG GUI. You can also type in custom Audio encoder bitrates if the default ones are not suitable for your videos soundtrack content. MPEG2 and HEVC or H264 all have rediculously high preset video encoder bitrates available. Also the 4K tabs presets all only use H264 codec, none offer the H265 HEVC codec which was designed for UHD resolutions... If you chose HEVC template in the Formats tab of presets then the presented resolutions only go up to 1920x1080, if you want to force UHD you have to put it in as a custom resolution. or if not upscaling or downscaling from 8K movie to UHD you should be able to use "defaut" selection for resolution... can't recal if I've tested that in the past though.

tomcat, it does so much more than just convert MKV to other formats. You can download videos then convert, edit etc. check it out

tomcat,

True, there are a lot of video converters available, and many are open source &/or free. Those like Dimo MKV Video Converter are generally self contained -- many alternatives, e.g. Format Factory are not, installing other apps that can [and too often do] effect media handling throughout Windows. Many of the free/open source converters use the separate X264 & X265 encoders -- many like Dimo MKV Video Converter use ffmpeg, which includes those encoders, and also provide encoders using CUDA & what AMD/ATI used to call Stream [no longer supported by AMD]. Dimo MKV Video Converter & similar greatly limit the settings &/or controls you have over the converted video -- it makes them easier to use, and mostly eliminates the learning curve, but does limit flexibility. Dimo MKV Video Converter and many similar converters include features beyond video conversion, e.g. a downloader, simple video editing, some basic video FX, pseudo 3D etc.

Bill Strobel, the downloader is VERY primative and unlikely to work for any significant period of time due to youtube changes.

Arthur Morton, Why would he include the paid for Digiarty WinX video converters with his list of FREE video converters? Do you have or want shares in Digiarty?
