The Good
* Straightforward and easy to use.
* Can do video -> video, video -> audio, and audio -> audio conversions.
* Can convert HD and SD videos.
* Supports many input and output formats.
* Supports many electronic devices.
* Users are given full control over output file properties.
* Has the ability to automatically split input files by length or size.
* Has the ability to make full use of all CPU cores (if applicable).
* Has the ability to automatically close program, or shut down, hibernate, or sleep computer after conversions have finished.
* Has the ability to prevent computer from hibernating/sleeping during conversions.
* Supports NVIDIA CUDA technology (requires applicable hardware).

The Bad
* Developer claims to be able to "convert batches of pictures like JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG to a video and play it as a slideshow" but the program won't properly input any image files during my tests.
* Lacks a lot of the basic editing capabilities rival shareware video converters have.

Be careful during install, as it try's to install the stupid bing toolbar. You need tu remove the opt in checkmarks or it will hijack your homepage and search engine preferences.

Really slow converter. Seems to work by copying movie in almost real time to a lesser format. Tried it on 2 different movies and took almost the same time as the original movies to convert. Within 5 minutes.

At least the MultiCore functionality doesn't work when converting a single video - in my case on Windows 7 Prof. x64. First of all the software is certified for W7 as stated in the GAOTD description, so please no "wtf dood u cna not use x64 y u use x64" :-)))
Please consider these pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/akari.kamigishi/Pictures#
The first picture is showing the CPU usage both from the Windows task manager and the application during the conversion process. The second picture shows that during that time, the number of active cores to be used in the conversion process is "all cores".
Perhaps mediAvatar HD Converter is capable of converting "n videos" on computers with "n cores" but so can any other software by just starting multiple instances.
Multi-core conversion usually is done by slicing a video at the key frames and thus creating thousands of little jobs. Something is going wrong here or I understood "multi-core" in a very wrong way. :)
Can mediAvatar please look into that issue?

I was happy when I saw .SWF in the input list
Unfortunately When I tried this program on a .SWF video
ONLY the audio was converted plus the first frame...no video.

I contacted support but have notg heard back
