NeghVar, doesn't apear to handle youtube URLs properly either as it has no mechanisim to have the URL and http parsing engine updated to cope with countermeasures done by youtube to try and stop these illegal/terms and conditions breaching 3rd party content downloaders from pirating the streaming media.
TK

NeghVar, To download online videos and audio files, it is recommended to use Allavsoft which can download videos and music from YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Tidal, Twitter, Facebook, etc 1 000 websites. And it is very easy to use.
You may get it here: https://www.allavsoft.com/

NeghVar, Yes, it only access youtube url, for other video or music websites including youtube, you may use Allavsoft.

mavica, if you want more than simple options may I suggest you click on the Advanced tab in the codec settings and go down to the video codec and click on it to expand the entry and mess about with the settings, including frame rate, to your hearts content.

mavica, Yes, iDealshare VideoGo does have the option to change the frame rate:
Click "Setting..." button to open the "Advanced Settings" windows, then switch to the "Advanced" panel;
In the "Advanced" panel, click the small triangle on the left side of the "Video Codec" to spread the drop down menu;
Then go to "Frame Rate" tab, click the 29.97 to open the fps drop down list to select 23.97 (Tips: if you want to change 29.97fps to other frame rate, simply select from the drop down list or overwrite 29.97 to your desired fps.
Finally click "Apply to All" and OK.

mike, you forgot to mention it's an unlicensed FFMPEG 2.6 based converter and rudimentary editor... with nonfree components compiled in making it not legal for it to be distributed under any terms.

Run
ffmpeg -L
at the command prompt in the installation folder to see the ugly truth about this vendors respect for IP rights. Also you forgot to mention that it is exactly the same version as offered previously here on GAOTD

https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/idealshare-videogo/

Run
ffmpeg -codecs | more
at the command prompt in the installation folder and the only GPU assisted codec is cuh264 it is the most rudimentary encoder based upon the sample cuda code from nvidia and they do not support the more modern NVENC and have done no work on FFMPEG themselves.
TK

Jo, Thank you so much for your review

Alberto, my Avast tried to block it, too; however, my Avast has been trying to block EVERY download from this site for a couple of weeks, so now I just ignore their warning and let the full download and installation go ahead. I've never had any kind of actual security issue with ANY of my GAOTD downloads.

Alberto, Our iDealshare VideoGo is safe to use. Our Website is also safe to access

jd, if you can run handbrake it is ALWAYS the better option as it is far more current in terms of FFMPEG version, this is from around 2015 and does not support any of the new technologies as well as being compiled with non-free componets built in making it illegal to distribute under any terms and license conditions.
handbrake is open source peer reviewed source and completely legal to use and redistribute this program in it's current form is not.
TK

jd, It does support batch conversion. please contact support@idealshare.net

SK, If so, simply keep the default setting and do not select any one of Keep Original, Full screen, 16:9 and 4:3

- If I don't select any of the options the program puts a coloured border around the image/frame. And that was exactly what I wanted to get rid of in the first place.

Blabbo, lots of legal uses for a program like this. I think it will help me in reducing the size of music lessons & family videos I create, plus ability to trim & merge. It can help me transfer lessons I have purchased to work on my phone when I travel or just want to sit in the park and learn something.

Blabbo, It is used to convert between various video formats, audio formats and convert video to audio format

Blabbo,
Why dont you go and borrow an FBI Jacket, l will be waiting for you at the door with a Cup of Tea? effing @$$h*le

Blabbo,

Even if a few people were to actually use this program for such a purpose... what you've written (ie. FBI, very specific Court sanctioned sentence/punishment etc.) refers purely to the USA!

I do hope you understand and realise that America is not the whole, entire world, but is only one of many, many other countries, with only a relatively small population (percentage wise) of people compared to all the rest of us residing on this planet. With all of the other countries and nations each having their own laws and specific penalties for things.

Regards,

Drew.

J, Yes it can play h264 format or convert h264 format. The build in player can play almost all video and auido files even without conversion.

brane, Try a different browser.

Ronald Scott, I Concur

brane, I had the same problem. Next to the download there is a triangle. Click on that and it should give you teo choices. One being keep.

brane, Click 3 dots to right. Click Downloads. Click Keep. Click Keep anyway....

brane, just change the final URL from http:// to https://

"Many of my videos end up with a dark foreground and very bright sky which I would like to easily rectify."

Basically, the camera is seeing the bright sky &/or background, and reducing the amount of light recorded, so that portion of the image isn't completely blown out [all white]. And that's what makes the rest of the image darker. It's not all that easy to correct after the fact, since detail is actually lost in the darker portions of the image. One possible fix is to follow the old rule of having the sun at your back, &/or use a reflector or light to light up the foreground, &/or try another camera app, or even camera.

David M, Thank you so much for your comment

Spontz, Please try the following setting to fix the little cramped interface issue: In Windows 10
Find the videoconverter.exe file in: C:/program files (x86)/iDealshare/VideoGo

Right click that file and select properties from the drop down menu.

Select the compatabilty tab

Select Change high DPI Settings button

put a tick the Use this setting to fix..... box AND also a tick the Overide high DPI scaling box

Select I open this program from the first drop down menu

AND also select System from the second drop down menu.

Close the compatabity window by selecting OK and close the properties tab by selecting Apply

Spontz, Click the "Preference" button to open the Preferences window. Then check before Enable NVIDIA GPU Acceleration.

Spontz,

Harney, this fixed issue,thanks

vikk, Yes, it has the copy video or audio code option by click Setting-> Advanced

Tried different files, different formats, all failed. No reason, just says failed and no log file to check why they failed.

Mike, Please refer to this step by step guide to compress video file size:
https://www.idealshare.net/video-converter/mkv-compressor.html

Mike, for me it fails as well. Solution that worked for me is to uncheck Nvidia acceleration in preferences.

Harney, That's nice and all but my videos I am trying to compress are in mp4 not MKV. I did as other user said to uncheck the Nvidia acceleration and it works now, that might have been more helpful then linking to a page for a video format I am not using, just saying.

Harney, OK After unchecking Nvidia acceleration and loading up another 1.5g video and tinkering a little I got it down to 470mb with no quality loss. That is pretty impressive as I have tried a few others and the quality loss was bad. I can say this one works pretty well and credit is due.

Mike, don't you mean "with no apparent quality loss" as any time you put video through any lossy codec there is provable quality loss even if you increase the bit-rate of the video and certainly if you compress it down to a third of it's already lossily compressed 1.5GBytes size to 470MBytes. Just because your eyes and your display do not make the loss of quality and loss of detail and increase in chromatic distortion apparent to you does not mean it's not there.

TK, Video is not the only form of reducing size of video, sound plays huge roll, by changing sound you can reduce a size of video without any loss.

Mike, not with this program... you need a more comprehensive FFMPEG gui that lets you selectively COPY rather than CONVERT media data streams.

I presume you are not claiming over 1GByte file size reduction from altering the compression ratio of the sound track alone and coppied the video track untouched with this program? No I didn't think so! Sound track does not play a huge roll in the size of any normal video file you can download from the internet, and even if you were refering to the sound track... AAC, MP3 or any modern audio codec is also LOSSY regardless so if you recompress just the sound to a lower bitrate by changing the sample rate, sample width or number of encoded channels you will lose data from the sound track... which ever track, video or audio you recompress to the same, lower or even higher bitrate with a lossy encoder WILL lose quality and data. The only potentially honest statement is therefore without any perceived loss of quality.

TK, I stopped reading at Sound track does not play a huge roll in the size of any normal video file, clearly you don't know what you're talking about and pointless to debate with someone as such.

Mike, take some time and learn a little rather than making things up as you go along...sound track for an hour long video file at 128Kbps mp3 stereo would be around 70MBytes. I am not debating with you but trying to educate you a little. The Video stream of any normal video, where the video is to be of any decent resolution and quality, is always going to take up magnitudes more space than the normal sound track unless you choose to encode the sound track as PCM-32bit 5.1 or 7.1 channel sound track. You can easily test my assertions by using stream copy function of the FFMPEG engine most of these converters use and copy out a sound track to a separate audio only file. The greatest video file size reduction by just processing the audio track is the size of the audio track itself, i.e. removing the audio track and if you copy the video track the file size saved will always by relatively minimal except when the audio is uncompressed but the video is heavily compressed. You are free to remain ignorant of course :-)

Bill Feeman, Thank you so much for your review

Harney, Thanks.

I have found an issue with changing from VBR to CBR bitrate using the MKV HD profile.

The quality of output using VBR is so bad that you cannot even make out the video and this is also represented in the size of the output file which is 10% or more of what it should be.

The free GPU-Z, or CPUID HWMonitor, or MSI Afterburner, will show you whether the GPU [AMD,Intel, or Nvidia] is involved or not during encoding.

Bill Feeman, are you trying the same program as given away here? There is NO Intel GPU acceleration and the unlicensed FFMPEG is version 2.6 from 2015 and its that which does ALL the video editing, filtering, watermarking and re-encoding. Try running the FFMPEG.EXE in a command prompt window with the command line:

FFMPEG -codecs | more
and
FFMPEG -L
you'll find if you look there is no other GPU acceleration other than ancient sample cuda h264 encoding. "cuh264" encoder. ANYTHING newer should beat this hands down try "handbrake" and enable Intel QuickSync acceleration... Of course it's quite possible your Intel GPU is under-powered so any FFMPEG build that uses it slows down conversion compared to CPU only conversion!
TK

mike, Good thinking Batman. I can confirm that there is no Intel GPU acceleration but whatever they have done to enable the best CPU processing is impressive in itself.

If they applied the same level of attention to adding Intel and AMD GPU support then they could be on to quite a successful product and if they want a beta tester for such progress, I would be happy to help on something that shows real promise.
