Good morning everybody,

Wow, we seem to be getting many video-related apps these days.

Encountered some problems with this GiveAway - please read below:

Video Converter downloaded/installed/registered fine on Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS. However, the other two programs (Video Joiner and Media2 MP-3) did not install properly. I received Runtime Errors and Microsoft Register errors when trying to install both of them.

I then tried to install both programas via "Run As Administrator," but that did not work either. Apparently, these programs are not designed for Windows Vista, as the description claims.

Important Note: For all programs, you'll need to access the installer files from your "Program File" folder - in other words, the install process is not automatic, and install icons are not placed on your desktop, so you need to dig deep to find them in the install folder, within your computer menu/tree area.

Detailed verbatim manufacturer specs for Video Converter program are:

System Requirements: Video Converter appears to work well in the Vista Home Premium, 32-bit OS environment.

The Video Converter program has a pleasant, easy-to-read and understand user interface, and a rich-featured Help File.
I have not had a chance to use it yet, so I cannot comment on its funcitonality.

I have mixed feelings on this one. Because only one of the three programs seems to work, I cannot fully or enthusiastically recommend today's GiveAway.

Ultimately, it is up to each Vista user to decide whether it is worth his or her time to download and install only the one application (i.e., the Video Converter).

To the software manufacturer - this suite needs a major tuneup.

Well, it's time for me to skedaddle. Hope you all have a great day.

Cheers,
IZE

Just downloaded and installed this video utilities suite program. it worked fine on my Windows Vista HP Touch. However, I'd still like to compare this video utilities suite program with the clone2go video converter, which i got months ago (both have strengths and weaknesses):

1. The former can join video files, while the latter is only a video converter;
2. The former supports converting vcd, svcd files, while the latter only has support for formats like avi, mp4, flv, 3gp, rm, mkv, etc.
3. The latter also acts as a YouTube downloader, while the former is just a video converter/joiner.
4. The interface of the former is cool.
5. The latter is easier to nagivate.

Only 1 out of 3 installed correctly.

All Media to MP3 serial number - Installed and Registered Fine.

The other 2 installed but when I tried to open them they immediately shut down with send error report messages.

Can't test if they don't work.

Looks like a nice giveaway. I find it disturbing that they claim to convert between lossy formats without losing quality though... The difference might be slight, but it's not possible to recode lossy video without losing some data (unless the target format is lossless).

as another reviewer noted above, only 1 out of 3 worked. however, for me, it was the video converter that installed and run ok. the other two simply crash on execution.
