Is AVS Video Converter worth buying?
I've recently been looking for a good video converter that can convert basically anything into anything else. I've tried some free ones and not been very impressed, so I started looking at purchasing one. I came across this site: http://video-converter-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ which reviews 10 different versions. It lists AVS Video Converter as the best, and in fact it does look like the best. Also, when I clicked the link, it says that you can get all their products, and unlimited upgrades, for just $59.

I'm wondering if anyone else has used this, and what you think of it. It almost seems to good to be true--8 programs with all future upgrades for just $59. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Try the free stuff first. You can find free software from download.com.

Thanks, but as I said above, I've tried the free ones and not been impressed. Also, you can try this one for free too. But I want to know if anyone has actually used it, and what they think of it.

That website you came across is crap.
It only suggests products that give commissions, and the "best" product is the one paying the most money.

Everything in that list is trash. Cheap Chinese junkware.

I have the AVS Video Converter and I must say its not something special and I'm not very impressed with. It just have the same video formats like many other payd and free converters. I don't think its worth the money

I didn't have good experiences with AVS Video Converter - I found it slow and gave strangely large file sizes. Still looking for a good all-in-one (or even a good most-in-one!).

According to my own experience using Video Converters, I am convinced that there is sofware called Pavtube Video Converter($35) powerful in converting.

I used it and found it supports plenty of video and audio formats such as MP4, 3GP, 3G2, AVI, MPG. MOV, MKV, AVI, FLV,AVCHD,TIVO, VOB, SWF, MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A, MP3, WAV, etc.

Comparing with other converters, I prefer Pavtube one because of its fast conversion speed and its pretty good output video and audio whcih satisfy me.It is said that this software applies unique audio and video sync technology which can guarantee the audio and video match.

Of course, if u dont need so many formats, handbrake also is a good choice.

As with any software, the Moyea software is great! Really easy to use and the cropping, trimming functionality is an added bonus! I found it by searching on Google. a great piece of software!
