a portable MP3 player such as an Apple iPod™, Creative Zen Player™ or Sony Walkman™). Once you have your digital audio tracks saved in your preferred format, it's easy to load them to your favorite audio player (e.g. For example FreeRIP can convert audio files from WMA to MP3, or OGG to MP3, Flac to MP3, convert MP3 to WAV or WAV to FLAC and so on with our audio converter. It can convert MP3 and other audio files from one format to another. They’re also things you don’t get with other applications, like Handbrake.FreeRIP is also an audio converter and converter MP3. The pricing tiers are confusing, and the constant adverts to purchase features annoying. It pops up payment offers with ludicrous original prices - we don’t think anyone paid $170 for five unlocks, and we especially don’t believe anyone paid $300 just to remove the watermarks.

It’s marketed as freeware, but its free incarnation isn’t useful as anything beyond a demo.

Freemake Video Converter review: CostĬost is a big issue for Freemake Video Converter. As there are no tooltips, it’s also possible to pass over potentially handy features without knowing what they are. We thought for a moment about why you’d want to do that, came to the conclusion that some people burn portrait video from cellphones to DVD and want to rip it back again, then wondered why this unique feature hadn’t been hidden behind a payment demand like all the other useful ones. Switching DXVA on and off seemed to have little effect on conversion speed, so we can only wonder what the Nvidia card could have done. Most rippers, like Wondershare Uniconverter, use GPU-acceleration to speed up rips, but this misses out.Įlsewhere, Freemake Video Converter’s handling of video files is commendably swift, with the basic built-in editor able to quickly trim clips, and rotate them too. The application was also unable to detect the Nvidia graphics card in our test machine, defaulting instead to DirectX video acceleration.

We wonder if it’s being deliberately held back, such is the way the progress bar shoots along for its first half, before slowing to a crawl and taking 20 minutes to rip a DVD. Without unlocking the ‘4x more speed’ pack, Freemake Video Converter is a dreadfully slow thing.

Buying five of these unlock packs for unlimited usage, which you’d hope would open up every locked feature in the entire program, costs a huge $170.

There are so many levels of unlocks available, with one-week, one-month, six-month and unlimited tiers, plus special offers and huge original prices, that it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re being asked to pay for which features, and for how long you’ll have them for. The ‘Remove Branding’ link pops up a window offering features such as faster conversion speeds and DVD menu authoring in return for upgrading your copy.
#FREE MP3 CONVERTER REVIEW SOFTWARE#
The free version of the software embeds its logo into the resulting video file, and therefore is really only any use to test the program out and see if you like the way it works. If you find yourself making significant changes to a preset then you can save your own custom one, choosing between MPEG4 or h264 video encoding, setting custom framerate and bitrate, and then doing the same for sound, with three codecs on offer.

You have a choice of one-pass encoding, which is faster, or the better quality two-pass method, and can choose where the resulting file will be saved, but that’s about it. By putting its source choices along the top of its interface, and a selection of common presets along the bottom, Freemake Video Converter makes it as easy as possible to get started in DVD ripping and video converting.īeyond the presets, there isn’t a great deal of tweaking to be done.
