I found that this software was rather simplistic and un-professional. I couldn't even rip audio CD's, and the audio quality for conversion was downright crappy.
I found that using windows media player to rip audio CD's (or Itunes) is still a better alternative, and there's plenty of freeware software that you can find using google that will even convert most formats.
Overall, this is a horrible piece of software.

However, I’d also like to add that I find the incessant commenting on GotD about the national origin of software developers to be increasingly annoying and extremely ignorant. If anyone imagines that the most brilliant and best educated programmers in the world are NOT a completely international bunch, then they are very poorly informed. I’m sick and tired of reading sneering remarks by people who probably can’t order lunch in any language other than English, or even compose a ‘hello world’ program - let alone write a technical document in Chinese, or a multimedia converter for the Windows platform.

Lose the narrow minded parochial attitude, people, because it’s downright pathetic.
AMEN @ #47(Steph)

i just can't help but thank everyone who has commented today.

i won't download based upon the total reviews. i suspect jie.wu (#6) may still be looking for a good company to join. i also suspect that if you read Chinese(simplified), the help may be more pertinent. could also be that hardware concerns (64 bit vs 32) have much more topical utility than has been previously thought.

sales people who do the job right will almost always get you technology that will cause trouble, rather than just do what you want.
and nobody in the real business world will work with Win98SE even though it is the Best gaming system so far. (not necessarily Graphically, but definitely play/plots/arcades) Lots of great business solutions too, but NOT SUPPORTED by MicroSoft.

A third world company (isn't China sort of both a first world and a half for outlying provinces and bordering countries?) has less trouble listing the usablity of "outdated" OS, but you still run into hardware compatability issues.

We are graced with the presence of John, a company rep, and That Is A Good Thing.

John, you have made possible the biggest laugh today with your penultimate "typonese" (fancy talk for misspellings that spew from keyboards everywhere).

I will wait on upgrading to Vista, until Vista Vutimate comes out.

Good day GAOTD!

Download, install and registration on XP Pro SP2 w/updates went smoothly.

Was a bit amused/dissapointed that the installation routine said I was installing "mp3" (you'll see if you install it).

The GUI is clumsy - I get the impression that this is either a work in progress with features that do not work yet OR the opposite - that this was a programme that did more and has been stripped down.

Even though you can't maximize the window in the usual manner you can resize it by dragging corners/edges - have fun with that - it gets even sloppier to look at.

It doesn't make sense to include additional encoder exe's in the programme folder if it only uses the LAME encoder to convert to mp3. There may be more that could be stripped from this to make it leaner.

Having said that today's offering is bloated.

My Tests

Audio from FLV to mp3 - successful
Audio from AVI to mp3 - successful
Audio from WMV to mp3 - successful

Audio from DVD VOB to mp3 - Partially successful

Due to not being able to choose which audio track on the DVD that you want to encode to mp3 I ended up with the French track.

Even though I didn't run every file it says it can handle I don't think it should have too much trouble, if any, with other formats that don't have several audio track options such as a DVD has.

As others have noted it would be a huge plus to be able to tweak encoder settings. Also as stated there are freeware alternatives, just follow the links others already posted!

For this software to be worth the $29 or so dollars it would have to do more and do it flawlessly. I hope KingConvert Inc. achieve that.

Warning - some may be offended by the following verbal diarrhea.

I'm glad that John from the developers team tried to be of help to some and ashamed at some of the criticism directed towards him and the company he works for. If you don't like translation problems, may I suggest you help by posting the problems you see (or contacting the developer directly) in a manner that is more constructive, positive and will benefit not only the developer but possibly yourselves. That is one of the reasons for this site after all.

Anyway, as always thanks to GAOTD and also to KingConvert Inc. for the opportunity to check out this software.

Is it legal to release a commercial product that uses mencoder source code? Mencoder is gpl-2 freeware. (meaning, others can use your code, but not for commercial products - or that's what I was thinking anyway.)

Have installed on xp pro sp2, registered without conflict. Stripped audio from video in seconds, converted WMA to mp3 in slightly longer but about 250% faster then previous programs utilized.
The interface is user unfriendly but mostly self explanatory. The help file is most unhelpful as well. The lack of options is bothersome though it does do what it says it will do even if it is a little touchy and tends to crash if you ask it to do something when its converting files.

Do not recommend unless your willing to deal with a temperamental program

1st Apologies if this seems a little off topic, but there are a few asking for alternatives, which is fair if only to have some sort of comparison.

When it comes to audio conversion only, meaning you've got some sort of audio on your hard drive and want to convert it to something else, I'd recomend the videohelp.com site -> go to the tools page and select audio encoders for example. You'll get a list of programs, if they're free, and clicking on any program in the list will take you to a page with download links, links to guides, reviews, etc. For MP3 many (most?) use Lame, which is a command line program (think DOS window in Windows) also used by the King Converter.

For ripping audio off a CD, Cdex is popular, but this feature is built in to so many programs it's hard to know where to begin listing them all. If you've got burning software like Nero or Roxio, or a Creative sound card, you might have the necessary tools already. Ripping CDs is even built into things like Windows Media Player & the Real Player --> in Windows Media Player 11 go to Tools -> Options -> Rip Music to set your desired format, including standard (lossless) .wav files.

For getting audio out of a video file, many formats work well with a free program called VirtualDub (VirtualDub.org). There are loads of programs for stripping the audio out or off of DVDs, and many are listed at videohelp.com along with guides & some info about audio DVDs as well.

Information on alternative audio formats takes a little more work -- instead of one site having it all, using Google etc. you'll find sites & forums where fans of a particular format gather together. In general MP3 is the most popular because it's the oldest, it's very common, & there are loads of programs and devices that handle it. Windows Media Audio is also very popular, with a lot of devices like set-top DVD players that will use it, & of course every copy of Windows out there -- but it can be copy protected (& it is Microsoft), so any edge in popularity goes to regular MP3. Newer formats like AAC are more efficient, but there's not a lot of decoding software available so you can have trouble playing your music. A lot of people like Ogg-Vorbis & Monkey, but you'll have more trouble playing these than wma or mp3. Variable bit rate MP3 is somewhat popular, but can lead to nightmares, especially when used in or with video.

Hopefully that will give folks a bit of useful background if they're new to this sort of thing.

This is for number 45-http://www.dvd-mp3.org/-I have used this one often and it works great.And anytime you want some freeware all you have to do is go to freeware world team.They have the best freeware search engine IMHO.It is like the Google of freeware-you just type in what you need the program to do and FWT will find you a freeware program that does it.The DVD audio ripper I posted above I found there in under 10 seconds.So when you need some freeware hit freeware world team,you'll be glad you did.Their website is-http://www.all4you.dk/FreewareWorld/links.php

I tried to make the links clickable but the html that works on most forums just doesn't seem to work here.Sorry.But I can vouch for freeware world team.I have been in the pc repair business for over 10+ years and no matter how weird the problem or customer request I've found what I needed at FWT.Over 26,000 programs and I've never found a single bit of spyware/malware there.Great site.

@Stevie
Although there is plenty of bad stuff about this program, my understanding is that it is more proper to have a program removed via the add/remove than it is to have an uninstaller. The fact that it leaves stuff behind is a serious problem.

Adding a few more tech details in case it helps anyone...

King Convert for MP3 looks like a good, relatively simple program for encoding audio to mp3. If it offers any advantages over free-ware, like the more current LameXP or RazorLame (which both offer easy, simple interfaces) it’s because King Convert for MP3 also handles video files, saving you the extra step(s) of “de-muxing” (stripping out the audio track or files). It’s not unique however, and there are many programs that will do the same thing, the difference being a usually more complicated user interface or window. IOW if that's what you're after, do a backup or at least set a restore point if in Vista and give it a whirl.

King Convert for MP3 uses quite a few free-ware programs and files, and unfortunately the versions used are a bit out of date. It uses Mencoder – a popular free-ware program for encoding & trans-coding media files – and encoding mp3 is done by Lame.exe, a very good free-ware program that is used not just by free-ware applications like LameXP, RazorLame, & many others, but by pay-ware programs like Roxio’s Easy Media Creator. The media player is the free-ware MPUI also used by MediaCoder... Of note, it includes some rather old file versions (6 instead of 10) for the Real format.

If you *really* liked the program's interface & the way it works, & were really motivated, it might be possible to increase performance & maybe eliminate some problems by updating the free-ware files and programs that it uses. Somewhere looking up the various programs in the King Converter I remember seeing complaints about high CPU usage that has since been fixed. Not that you should have to fix anything, but after all the program is free today, & if you can't find anything else that fits the bill...

It’s worth noting that mp3 handling in Windows can be a mess, & problems using King Convert for MP3 may or may not be it’s fault... You can find a lot of info & discussion on the old Microsoft MP3 codec with l3codec in the file name – long story short, you can have problems often playing but sometimes encoding MP3. Also many programs use Lame, & they can install &/or register different versions in most any folder on your hard drive, including Window’s System or System32 folder, which can make it the default. Programs that tend to do this are often older, so the Lame version in your Windows folders might be 6 years old or so. And the newest versions of Lame can be incompatible with software written for older versions.

It was commented that King Convert for MP3 did not work on an audio DVD – audio DVDs are a very different sort of disc, requiring specialized software to write or rip. Using "Audio DVD" I got 208 mill hits on Google. Info on ripping audio DVDs is not as common -- only got 1 mill hits. [please bear in mind that in many cases that's considered illegal, & so not appropriate for discussion in many places] Similarly many programs have dropped Windows Media format handling under pressure from Microsoft enforcing (C) -- would include asf.

Note: FWIW most free-ware apps mentioned are available from several sites, taking some of the burden of hosting off free-ware developers. Personally in my opinion it's best to Google & pick a hosting site geographically near you.

The worst converter ever used and I used alot as I used to be a radio producer from 1987 till December 2007.

When open program, and try to select a file, even it said anyfile, it has some problems with .asf format, program tottally freeze.

Put an mp3 list on the list, .m3u but program couldn't extract files right.

Tried audio CD and it freeze again.It seems that Kingconvert doesn't support files with .CDA extension(CD Audio files) as everytime I tried to play them player freeze.

When try to play any other file mplayer used over 45% of CPU, sometimes over 75%.

I don't know what is good for this program, but it's no good for convertions. There are so many other FREE programs out there with better and faster results.

NOT RECOMENDED.

I installed KingConvert on Windows XP Pro and I was not particularly impressed.

On the pro side, the program offers support for a wide range of video formats, and unlike quite a few others I've tried, it actually works. I successfully converted AVI, FLV, DIVX and MOV files to MP3 as well as converting directly from DVD. It also works very quickly, and it handles large batch jobs without complaining, at least on a machine quipped with plenty of RAM. The layout of the user interface is reasonable, in fact very similar to those offered by other media conversion programs.

On the con side, there is no way to select the output bit rate. The fixed default is 128kbps, which is too low for my requirements. There is also no mention of which MP3 encoder the program uses. Personally I'm really only interested in converters which are able to utilise the excellent LAME encoder. Also, the help file is so poorly written and uninformative as to be damaging, and the developers have done themselves few favours by adopting a rather slapdash approach to the visual design details.

So although it's a reasonable effort, I really can't recommend this program, and I don't think it's commercially viable. Better freeware alternatives which I've used include the Zune Video Converter, the similar Pazera Free Audio Extractor and (just for AVI video files) Virtualdub - provided you have the LAME codec installed.

However, I'd also like to add that I find the incessant commenting on GotD about the national origin of software developers to be increasingly annoying and extremely ignorant. If anyone imagines that the most brilliant and best educated programmers in the world are NOT a completely international bunch, then they are very poorly informed. I'm sick and tired of reading sneering remarks by people who probably can't order lunch in any language other than English, or even compose a 'hello world' program - let alone write a technical document in Chinese, or a multimedia converter for the Windows platform.

Lose the narrow minded parochial attitude, people, because it's downright pathetic.

This program worked just fine. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2, 3.4Ghz P4, 3GB RAM. I used a concert avi file (Queensryche concert) as the test file. I'll post a screenshot of the little window that pops up when it's done encoding. It took less than 10 mins to make the MP3 and it sounds just fine.



Nice speed, nice compression. 474MB audio/video file into a 59.3MB MP3 file works for me. Thanks for the software. I will use this one a lot.

Any operating system (like Vista Ultimate) with an "x64" after its name is a 64-bit operating system. 32-bit software runs on that OS in a compatibility mode, which means that special work has to be done by the operating system to make the 32-bit software run. This is usually fine, but some 32-bit software (that is, regular Windows software that doesn't say "x64" on it) doesn't work very well on an x64 operating system. If you were to load Vista Ultimate (the 32-bit version) instead of Vista Ultimate x64, you would probably find that more 32-bit software works more consistently. Conclusion: only load a 64-bit operating system if you know that the software you rely on is available in a 64-bit version. If you rely on any "normal" software (e.g. Windows 32-bit software), use the regular Windows (32-bit) instead of the x64 version of the operating system.

Lots of software is coming out in x64 versions, and some software is only available in x64 versions; but until we get through the transition phase it is frequently better to run the 32-bit operating system even if your machine is 64-bit.

But it is also a very good idea for GAOTD to say whether or not the 32-bit software on its web site will work on a machine with x64 operating system.

"i cant begin to say how many grammatical errors are in this sentence.

but other than that, the software looks pretty good. dling now. of course there are freewares that do this. But this one says its much faster encoding, and you dont actaually have to “rip” the audio by listening to it."

I see a lot of comments that this may not be a good software. However, unlike in comments for other offers, I do not see a lot alternatives suggested. Is it that there are very few such programs?

mp3mymp3.com Is a freeware program that will take Anything you hear and or see is recordable as a mp3. This can be used to "grab" ringtones...just go to iTunes or any other site where there is a 30 sec preview and record the chorous...then import into an editor such as cool edit, audacity, or Motorola Phone Tools and loop the catchy part of a song and then save that...now a free ringtone of any song that can be previewed. My coworker records internet radio so it can be listened to by his mother who has lost sight so badly she cannot read...now she gets a chaptr a day in large segments..also the old radio shows that are archived are also used so she can hear some of the old inner sanctum, etc.

I have a lot of experience using Cakewalk to rip audio disks to MP3's, and this program does not compare. The registration failed on my first attempt, but the claim for additional ripping speed kept me trying, and I finally got it working. The claims are simply not true, the audio quality is terrible, as someone else noted above. I have already uninstalled, and advise you to not waste your time with this one.

Download OK (as usual from GOTD).
Installed OK with the registration-code provided.

My main reason for downloading this software was I needed an audio mp3 converter, as I am currently planning on transferring all my CDs to my harddrive. This program advertised as "fast" made me think this could get the job done.

I was wrong.

There was nothing "intuitive" about how to convert files.
There was no logical "output method" whatsoever when I loaded a CD into my computer and tried to set it up for conversion.
After reading the "help-file", I was just as clueless as I was before I read the "help-file".
After setting up as explained, the software converted 8 tracks of music to nothing.
When I tried again, marked the CD and pressed "play", my computer committed 99,9% of memory to "player". It took 35 minutes to kill using task-manager.

I use a standard WinXP, sp2, and do not usually describe myself as computer illiterate, but after this, I am beginning to wonder.

As I could not convert audio, and others here have stated they can not convert audio, this program will be uninstalled asap.


Thanks GAOTD-team, for usually providing interesting software. This is not for me, but perhaps for someone who want video-conversion?
