Pros: Advanced options for customizing your output, lot of formats.
Cons: Advertising in the middle of the GUI. EXTREMELY slow encoder. Ugly GUI with very little logic to it.

Opinion: FormatFactory is free, MUCH faster, supports more formats, better (not much) GUI, and did I mention it's free? Tried this, would not buy it, uninstalling it.

I really don't like the advertising right in the middle of the GUI. There's links to several of their products. It make the GUI look very ugly.

Some of my complaints:

- advertising
- slower than other converters
- resulting videos from wmv sources are slightly out of sync
- coverted videos show a green bar on Windows Media Player sometimes
- mov and flv files don't support h264 video/aac audio
- no mpeg1; 3gp; rm; wmv3 output

I’ve always believed if you’re going to rate and comment on a GOTD you should at least install it and play with it for an hour or two. Now there are exceptions to that rule, and I think this program falls into those exceptions. On the developer site they make reference to the awards they’ve received; a favorable editors review on Softpedia, Snapfiles, and PC World. Searching at Softpedia I found a WinX Video Converter Platinum and WinX Video Converter 3.7 Build 20090513, only they name the developer as Freetime Soft Inc. and neither had a Softpedia Editors review. Snapfiles has a “WinX Free iPhone Video Converter” by Digiarty Software, however there is no WinX Video Converter at that site. PC World has a WinX DVD Author that had an editors review, but there isn’t a WinX Video Converter on their site.

The “About” us on the developers site makes reference to Digiarty Software working together with MasterSoft as “cooperating partners with shared resource and independent identity” (for whatever that means your guess is as good as mine). They go on to say that “Digiarty Software, Inc. is a software company specialized for DVD and other common popular pocket-sized multimedia devices such as iPod, Zune, PSP etc. converting. We started this program form 2006, for about 3 years, and now, we nearly have 8,000,000 clients using our products”. “We are still always trying our best to improve our products, for example, our WinX DVD Author version is enhancing to 5.5 now. We wish one, or more of our products could make your free time colorful, if you have any suggestion about our products, could you please tell us? That will be very appreciated if you could contact with us, and we will go to great lengths to satisfy you or do as your suggestion if we could. Wish everything goes well for both of us”.

We started this “form” 2006? Claim they have nearly “8,000,000” clients? Be afraid people, be very afraid! With these types of discrepancies the program is simply not worth installing and trusting the code is stable enough not to reek any havoc on my PC. And from all I’ve seen I’d carry that attitude through every product made by this developer.
