Pretty GOOD video converter today: quick conversion speed, good quality output and many advanced features offered to users in order to customize their final output (aspect ratio, birate, watermark, subtitles etc...) and watch their DVD video almost anywhere (iPad, iPod, iPhone, iPhone5c, iPhone5s, Apple TV, Zune, SP, Xbox, BlackBerry etc...).

Users have even the ability to choose their own device model instead of a certain media format, whenever they want to convert a DVD video.

Can also convert 2D videos to 3D, in order to watch them on a 3D TV, download videos from YouTube & Facebook, as well as extract audio and take snapshots out of any videos with ease.

So overall it's a GOOD app and as a GAOTD deserves a THUMBS UP!!!

But 50$ ?? Come on... hey man, did you realize that this is a SUPERSATURATED FIELD nowadays? Looks like you did NOT!!

Its built-in YouTube video downloader & converter enabling you to download and convert your favorite videos not only from YouTube but also from other sites like Veoh, Facebook, MetaCafe, Vimeo, Howcast, LiveLeak, Vevo, MTV and Google Video, allowing you to specify the output quality level (standard quality, high quality and high definition).
Users are given the power to merge multiple video clips into one or cut multiple segments inside a video, add artistic effects or watermarks to their video, and even add their own subtitles to the output video letting them set its position, size and font (==> http://www.any-video-converter.com/add-srt-subtitle-to-output-video.php).And if you are eager to watch your converted/edited video on TV, you don't need any external burning app for that since this tool can also burn any videos of yours into multiple playable DVD formats with ease (you can even choose DVD video PAL Movie according to your TV system and/or AVCHD DVD 720/1080P Movie according to your DVD Player).
Just pay attention while installing it since it's actually an AD supported app.

There are two things that I do not appreciate about this giveaway. The first is that the giveaway insist on being added to the "startup group". The second is when I go to the page listed as being necessary for activation of the program-there's nothing on the page about activating the program at all. Each contains information on "trial edition".

I do not want a "trial edition" nor do I want to be forced to add a program to my startup group.

Installed an a Win 8.1 64 Bit system, Processor I 2500K, 16 GB RAM without problems. Intel 3000 Video, no extra video card. Normal HDD.

Two first test were impressive :

Converted an 1.3 GB 480x360 .AVI file to 1.2 GB 480x360 .MP4 in min 5:20. Quality seems to be the same on a first glance.

Reduced the size by converting from a 1.2 GB .MP4 file 680x420 to an 520 MB File with the same characteristics in about 3:40 Minutes, without (at least for me) no visible loss of quality.

The program uses the same video size for output automatically. I did the conversion jobs without changing anything with the default values.

Is significantly faster than the other GOATD video converters, which I have seen. makes fun and makes sense.

Thanks for this piece of software

As far as I'm concerned is real claim to fame is that it can download IPlayer programs so they can be watched at your convenience without the BBC time restrictions.
It may take a few tries to get the download started but it's by far the best I have seen in the long run.
If you want this function make sure you allow it to download the plug-in for your browser, I'm using Firefox and it worked without problems.

My firewall warns about the software attempting to write on registry keys that any program should not be allowed to. For example, one of the key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.

I already hate the way Microsoft permit any program to screw the system through that stupid registry. But that any software (i.e. "smart" developer) does the same is a big no-no. This GOTD might be good, but don't whine about it modifying your system settings.

Tumbs down.
