How I finally solved my video conversion software dilemma. I found the total video converter for my needs. Let me give you the scoop.

I have three video cameras, a Flip Ultra, a Sony and Panasonic. They output their videos in three different formats – MPEG, VOB, and AVI. I also have many videos on my computer that I’ve downloaded from the web in other formats such as WMV (Windows Media), MOV (Apple QuickTime), RM (RealMedia) and MP4 (MPEG-4). Needless to say, I need video conversion software capable of converting between and among multiple formats. Your situation may be very much like mine.

If a computer was the only medium you ever used to watch videos, it would be a simple matter of having a video conversion program that would convert everything to AVI, the universal format for video on computer. But most people today want to be able to view, and share, videos on various other devices, such as smartphones, home and portable game players and other wireless devices like iPods and iPads. This can really add to the confusion, since all these devices seem to have different screen sizes and resolutions. Now add in high definition and Blu-Ray elements.

To complicate things even further, there has been a proliferation of software makers crawling out of the woodwork the past couple of years offering video conversion software that converts one particular format to one specific device. As an affiliate of several large software networks, I see daily introductions of these new products. The list is staggering.

Now these programs may be wonderful, if all your videos are in one particular format and you only have one specific device you need to convert for. But most people today have multiple video formats to convert, and different devices that require the conversions. It’s simply not practical these days to have a dedicated program for every task, when there are excellent programs available that will do it all. Can you really afford to lock yourself in like that?

So where do you look for a reliable, quality universal video conversion software that supports today’s conversion needs, and will continue to do so tomorrow and beyond? After doing some research, along with much trial and error, the answer was a clear choice. I returned to the complete video conversion suite I’d used a couple of years ago. It does an outstanding job, and has stayed up-to-date in supporting the latest product advancements.

One software. One solution. Problem solved.
