1/10 overall rating for HD Video Converter Factory Pro 14.3

'please leave your question here ' they say yet not one single reply to any queries going back over a year
the 1/10 rating is beacuse it does convert videos but so does other software

' network connection error ' when trying to download youtube videos, only one video has downloaded and that had most of it missing, seen no improvment in quality or conversation speed than the free software
I was using prior but any help with this is much appriciated, ta

please reply here to help others with same problem

Apparently I'm missing something, "lossless mode" is grayed out.

after downloading this software some time ago, I am having some issues:

1- I know how to convert a home video from the .mov format to .avi format.
2- The issue is, when completed, the picture is distored horizonatllly? what am I doing wrong?
3- Is there a way to compress the video without losing quality ?
4- Can I combine 2 videos once I have the conversion and compression done as dirceted?

thanks and please advise.

I've used a older version of this program, version 13 and found that the program faithfully does anything it claims to do.

There are a few minor improvements that could be added:
At the moment the subtitles are recorded during the conversion, if subtitles are selected. There needs to be an option to turn off and on the subtitles when the person is viewing the resulting video.
Only one audio track can be recorded.

I have windows 7 professional. It downloaded to my computer but will not let me install and activate. Pops up a warning sign in front of the activation process. Any clues?

I tried this program when it was offered the last time on GOTD. It works so well it's now my go-to software for video conversion, and I bought a lifetime license. I highly recommend it.

HD Video Converter Factory Pro ,has good reputation.I tried it and I have found it's all I needed.And I am glad. Thanks a lot for your product.And of course many thanks to GOTD.

If you want to decrease the size of video, Handbrake does a good job and it's freeware.

Down loaded and installed...no problem. I thought I would try a 1 hour YouTube video....and it made a MP4, just like WonderFox said it would. But, it is slow! took almost 3 hrs. To be fair, I have a WIN7 64bit and 8 GB ram. It will use 98% of the CPU. You really need a more powerful PC to make this a viable program.

I always appreciate comments by GOTD users who actually test out the program.

Installed quickly on my WIN 10 16RAM PC, but still limited video/audio enhancement options.
Still same ongoing issues with their downloader, VPN or no VPN SAME ISSUES, tried with 4-5 HD youtube & daily motion videos, (all videos failed in Wonderfox analyze or download) similar video programs were a breeze, always issues with Wonderfox downloader to work, always errors issues, either Error: say check your internet connection only, no other Reason for error. My internet is fine , no problems with any other programs. Or just download Failed, no reason given.
Not sure why they would release this old version that still has many bugs and issues.

will this software combine videos after conversion?

video rotation doesn't work software needs improvement no stars

Installed fast on my Win10-64 machine. The registration was quick and program functions as it should. Thanks Wonderfox and GOTD.

was unable to get the GPU encoding to work ( yes the check mark was there) running a GTX 970
rebooted the machine also
tried MPEG4, hv265, h264 using a h264 file as an example . all that was being used was my CPU.
there was no activity on the GPU . ( was using MSI afterburner )
tried DVDFab 9 and work just fine.

Oh, boy! Setup does not actually install program. Win8. Install process just disappears. No program installed.

When I ran the setup program enclosed in the zip file, a popup saying "activating" came back with"fatal error: key is invalid", although it did not ask me for the key.

This is at least the second time that after downloading with the timer clock counting down from 16 hours, that I've been told "time has run out on this offer". What gives?

What is the fix for"Error! Please check your network connection, then try again."? I checked the network connection, and it is ok.

After reading about expiring licenses,i checked my installations. I had about four programs from Wondersoft. I said HAD as i found that all the executables were gone although the folders were still there with support items. I am not saying what happened to them but it is unlikely that i deleted all that... Anyway, i just deleted all the residual junk left behind.

I haven't tried this yet, I just thought I would throw this one out there. I have been using ConvertXtoDVD by VSO software for years with excellent results. Its big brother ConvertXtoHD is out there now. A free trial is available at the website, and the bought & paid for edition will run you $39.95.

I purchased this program about a year ago, after using a giveaway edition. And I must admit, I use this program constantly. I've never once had it crash on me. The author(s) have been responsive to my questions and have issued new license keys each time the program evolves into a different licensing method. I don't use the YouTube downloader feature- I have another program I prefer for that activity. Overall, I think this program is a solid performer, that [does] receive periodic updates, that [has] a responsive author, and it's been worth the purchase...so-much-so, that I bought a second Wonderfox program (DVD Converter).

Trying to downlad from youtube I get:
Error! Please check your network connection, then try again.
Wifi/Wlan connection; no firewall.
Any help available?

I had to disable AVG to get it to install. I right-clicked on the AVG tray icon and switched Protection to off, and then it installed. Before that, it would run the activation program, but the program's install wizard wouldn't launch at all. Windows 10 with the latest AVG.

A few years ago when I needed one of these I downloaded and tried all the converters that were on offer over months of GOTD's. Of them all, I finally settled on this one and bought the WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro Family Pack (3 PCs) package. Never been sorry. The latest version which I have installed is 14.7.

It's easy to use and I've never had a problem with any of the converted videos.

Just sayin. Today's giveaway is 14.3, which is the version I've recently upgraded from and the one I've used many times.

I no longer trust WonderFox giveaways.
They had this and another one a couple of years ago. I even left positive comments on GOTD at the time, describing how easy it was to install and register. Then when I went to use the program a month ago, a message popped up "Not registered. Please buy the licence to use."
I checked the other WonderFox software I had, and got the same result.
So don't believe anything they say about "good for lifetime."

download is missing the set up file is for software informer ??

Which are the two new features in this release?

Does this GOTD release have free lifetime functionality except for upgrades?

I often think it's the same again and again, with the programs in here, only the publishers are different.

I use this free software :
1- Hybrid
2- Free Studio
3- HandBrake
4- A's Video Converter
