—————————————————–

Name Of Program: iSkySoft’s Video Converter for Windows (3.1.0)

AA. Cost: $25.95 USD  For A LIFETIME License

BB. Is iSkySoft’s Video Converter For Windows Worth The Price ?: Yes it is. If you want the ability to easily convert videos into multiple formats, including  a variety of HD and mobile formats, along with the ability to crop videos, add effects and watermarks onto your video footage. Then you will be extremely happy with the one time $25.95 USD price tag for A LIFETIME License to iSkySoft’s Video Converter for Windows.

1. Ease Of Use – One of the more difficult media converter programs to use, extremely similar to iSkySoft’s iMedia Converter, but very easy to use once you find out where everything is.

1A. Interface - Very professional, very tidy with everything laid out very effectively.

2. Quality Of Video Conversions – Extremely fast, definitely on par with XiliSoft Video Converter Ultimate 6 in terms of video conversion times and a cut down version of iSkySoft iMedia Converter. But Video Converter for Windows does come with the ability to convert footage into pretty much any format available, including Mobile/Cell phones, iPhones/iPods, Games Consoles/Handhelds, MAC’s, PC’s and Laptops. These possible formats also include the added bonus of HD formats at both 720p and 1080p as well as standard definition (SD) qualities at 360p and 480p.

3. Updating – Very fast and easy by going to the help tab and clicking on the “Check for Updates” button.

4. Can You Run Other Programs While Running iSkySoft Video Converter ? Yes, no matter if your converting videos, cropping footage and or adding watermarks. You can still use other programs, but beware that ALL video converting programs will take up a lot of your computers processing power (RAM/CPU) and the iMedia Converter is no exception.

4A. Can You Run Programs During The Update Process? Yes, iSkySoft’s Video Converter allows you to do anything you want while the program updates to the latest version.

5. Is There A Progress Or Percentage (%) Bar? Yes, on all video conversions Video Converter will provide you with a progress bar. As well as an average time frame for how long the videos will take to fully convert.

6. Can You Leave Video Converter Running With Little Or No Issue ? You definitely can, you can leave the program to convert videos while you get on with other things on your computer. But all video conversions are dependent on your computers CPU power, so running other programs will slow down overall video conversions. The best thing is to just let the Video Converter use all of your CPU power to convert the videos as quickly as possible.

7. Are There Any Special Additions With iSkySoft Video Converter ? Not really, its an impressive video converter with the ability to add effects or watermarks to your video footage as well as being able to flip videos portrait or landscape. You can also trim the video footage to remove things like adverts from TV programs or even crop the video to get ride of things like embarrassing black bars at the top and bottom of video footage.

8. Is iSkySoft Video Converter Stable ? Yes, 100%

—————————————————–

Overall score for iSkySoft’s Video Converter for Windows (3.1.0) is a 4 out of 5 – The Video Converter for Windows  is very easy to use once you find out where everything is. So the overall layout could be a little easier. But the interface is still extremely professional with the ability to rotate, crop, trim, edit videos and effects. As well as watermarks make this program very desirable, but the downside is that this is basically the iSkySoft Video Converter with a different name for a cheaper price.

The program is safe to use for all users regardless of background knowledge or video editing experience. The Video Converter may look scary and difficult to use, but don’t let that put you off as its a very professional and easy to use program once you’ve worked out where everything is.

The one main negative aspect was that after adding a video into the program, which is MP4 and at HD 720p. The videos audio feed will NOT be converted along with it, when outputting it as another MP4 HD 720p video. This is an error that NEEDS to be rectified in future versions.
